Re: Murphy & a potential move to Everton. I think it's probably time for him to go, but I am worried about so many senior players going at once. Under Murphy has been lowkey great. - Nearly 9,000 mins, 100 games - 27 assists - 20 goals Nearly a goal or assist every other game #NUFC

So Sean Steur is joining #NUFC on a 5-year deal apparently, for about 23m GBP. Sean Steur 🔴 is an 18-year-old Dutch ball-carrying central midfielder. He's both-footed, 183 cm tall, and a top talent in the Netherlands. Here he is vs. Tonali 🔵 with the caveat about league strength. 1/ 🧵

After 28 years, sadly my time at Opta has come to an end. Through seven different owners, some good, some bad, I've helped the companies grow the brand from start up to global behemoth and I've been very lucky to have a job that was also my hobby.

With Sesko now off to Man Utd, #NUFC 's pool of available options has grown smaller. While there are some obvious shot execution issues, Nico Jackson is the right age & would probably benefit from being away from Chelsea's madness with a coach like Howe.

4 / This feels like a watershed moment for PIF because while we’ve been left without a CEO, DOF and a competent transfer team / strategy, they have been off funding our rivals. Next season already feels like a write off, it could even be Howes last. Let’s see how they react.

#NUFC Appreciation Post 🖤🤍 Given the history of local lads leaving too soon, Sean deserves all our applause 👏🏻 Endured dark days 🌨 under the previous manager and fought through it all. Has been pivotal, with many standout performances. We’ll always remember that night 👇🏻 #NUFCFans #Newcastle

Anthony Elanga has joined #NUFC in a £52m deal from Nottingham Forest. Following long term interest, the acquisition ends the club’s 3️⃣ year search for a new first team right winger. Why did Howe & co. opt for the 🇸🇪 international? Let’s dig in 🧵

The 24/25 season was historic for #NUFC. Howe turned a rough summer into our first major domestic 🏆 in 70 years—and UCL qualification. But success brings expectation. With PSR easing & more games in 25/26, fans & Howe expect investment. But who to buy? Welcome to my third annual Summer Transfer 🧵

We don’t have to say this but we will.. This man is an absolute legend. To deliver our second Champions League campaign, on top of our first domestic trophy in 70 years, is way beyond our wildest dreams of where we thought we might be just four years ago. Eddie Howe’s Black and White Army 🏴🏳️🏴🏳️

Again, I must recommend everyone wondering how this will go, read "Character Limit" by @kateconger.com and @rmac.bsky.social. The near total lack of intellectual curiosity about how things work combined with the absolute confidence that he understands stuff he does not, is a dangerous combo.

What a hit! 🤩

Flexibility is often simplified to mean 'can play multiple positions' but it can also mean that they can play different iterations of the same role. Anthony Gordon's one of those who can be whatever kind of winger you need that day: in-behind, playmaker, goal-hound, dribbler, etc. Very useful.
