🚨 Newcastle are set to target a striker this summer — despite spending £125m on Nick Woltemade & Yoane Wissa last summer. 🔄 A summer of change is expected with as many as 8 changes to the squad possible. 🧤 A new goalkeeper will also be targeted by Eddie Howe & Ross Wilson, who will be given the opportunity to put right the mistakes of last summer’s transfer window. #NUFC skysports.com/football/news/…

A first look at our brand new titles for the 2026 season 🤩🏁

PENALTY GATE I shouldn’t even need to post about this given the great win we just got but it’s impossible to ignore given the reports that came out earlier about Woltemade considering his future, seeing these images it’s very obvious he’s not 100% happy. And who can blame him? He’s the Germany number 9 and Eddie Howe is playing him in midfield after dropping him as a striker earlier this season. And let’s be absolutely clear he’s playing as a centre midfielder NOT as a 10 despite many wrong opinions on this. That alone is disheartening and damaging to his career given his role for Germany. It’s quite baffling how the Newcastle fan base are just overlooking this as if it’s normal to sign a number 9 and play him as a centre midfielder. Imagine Sesko or Ektike doing this? It’s mental. We signed him for a record fee & Howe was absolutely clear he was the main striker. Anthony Gordon was stat padding against these farmers with ease, people will say that’s grounds for him to continue up front despite the piss poor opposition and track record over the last year but obviously this was a very weak opponent. 1 goal in open play in 13 MONTHS against premier league opposition, 4 goals in 45 minutes against a pub team - great night but it doesn’t disprove the last 13 months. Gordon bagged a hat-trick and refused to give the 2nd penalty to Woltemade, after both Woltemade & Trippier asked him to do so. We were out of sight & Gordon came across as someone who couldn’t give 2 shits about anyone but himself despite Woltemade playing a role that sacrificed for the team. Not the first time Gordon looked like he didn’t want to help Woltemade this season. The issues between the two are now clear as day. Woltemade looked absolutely GUTTED after the second penalty as seen in the image. He knows as a “striker” he’s judged on goals despite Eddie playing him in midfield. This was a perfect opportunity to give him a role up front and get more chances and Eddie still stuck him in midfield. A vote of no confidence… Nobody could blame Woltemade for leaving this summer as his career is going backwards under Eddie Howe and that’s a FACT. #NUFC

Have we seen the lines head on?! Because it still looks onside to me.

🇫🇷 Patrick Zabi set to join Paris FC this summer for £21.5m. Feeling coming out of yesterday was that teenager preferred to stay in France.

🚨 Newcastle view Nick Woltemade as an Alexander Isak replacement. And they could still move for Yoane Wissa, who is seen as a Callum Wilson replacement. Wolves not expecting Jørgen Strand Larsen to depart. #LFC prepared to bid for Isak, but no plans to go close to £150m.🇸🇪
