Update:
Sca Toon?
Whilst working to close the
Anthony Elanga deal and continuing dialogue with Burnley over James
Trafford, The Times claim that Newcastle have also contacted Serie A
side Atalanta over defender Giorgio Scalvini.
The 21 year-old centre half is an international colleague of Sandro Tonali
and rated at £30m. Rumours of interest from the Magpies surfaced in the
Italian media last month and now appear more concrete, amid claims that
United have monitored Scalvini for the last two
years.
Update:
Elanga: news awaited
Thursday night brought
reports that an increased bid from Newcastle United for Anthony
Elanga had been agreed with his current club Nottingham Forest.
Having failed with a £45m offer recently for the 23 year-old Swedish
international winger, it's now claimed that a revised figure in the region
of £55m has been more successful.
An international colleague of Alexander Isak, Elanga was pictured in the
company of William Osula earlier this week, complete with social media
comments suggesting that a move to Gallowgate could be in the offing.
2025/26:
Fur coat, no
signings
Newcastle United's
new third kit was released on Tuesday morning, a promotional
video premiering on Monday night but then taken offline within 24 hours.
That was prompted by a Japanese fan in the video displaying a flag deemed to be
disrespectful to Korean nationals - a country Newcastle visit
later this month....
A re-cut version of the video appeared later on Tuesday.
The 2025/26 third and home kits are available here
Following on from the rail-themed kit launch last
season, the new promo includes current senior players and fans, plus SJP old
boys Jonas Gutierrez and Tino Asprilla - the latter clad in a fur coat as he
was back in 1996.
That bloke from North Shields who just did three nights at SJP appears as
well. If NUFC signed him could they not sell his back catalogue to Greggs in
a PSR-busting deal?
Giveaway:
Compo
winner
The latest addition to the
range of Toon-themed bucket hats by Football Bobbles is this
Lee model, inspired by United's distinctive 1997/98 change kit and with a
nod to next season's third shirt.
These are available to purchase here
now and there's a special offer for NUFC.com readers of a half-price
Kelly bucket hat with orders of the Lee bucket only.
To take advantage of that, add a Lee bucket hat to the online shopping
basket and use promo code NUFC.com - that will prompt a Kelly hat to
add at checkout.
We had a Lee bucket hat up for grabs, asking you to identify the ex-Magpie
who was a Wembley scorer for his previous club, an England U21 midfielder, a scoring debutant for Newcastle in
1997 and subsequently loaned to Sheffield United.
It was of course Des Hamilton, which most folks knew - although
Tartan pair Paul Dalglish and Stephen Glass both inexplicably cropped up
among those suggested.
The winning entry came from Ann Richardson.

2025/26:
Familiar foes for U21s
Newcastle
U21s will again play in the EFL Trophy this season - taking
their place in the 64 club competition for a ninth successive season.
Thursday's Group Stage draw placed the Magpies second string in Northern Section
Group F, alongside Harrogate Town, Huddersfield Town and Mansfield Town.
Newcastle will play each of those sides away from home, having travelled to
Harrogate in 2021 and Mansfield in both 2021 and 2024. They've not
previously faced Huddersfield in this competition.
Sky Sports will televise all the ties, with round dates tbc.
Games are played over 90 minutes, with a penalty shootout staged if the
scores are tied then and the winners of that receiving a bonus point.
The Magpies were successful last season in a shootout against Bradford City,
but haven't claimed maximum points in this competition since back in 2018.
NUFC confirm that the U21s will enter the Premier League
International Cup for the first time since 2019/20 - pitting them
against European sides. Games are all in the UK.
And the Magpies second string will also take part in the National League Cup
once again, having participated in last season's maiden staging of the
competition.
Draw dates for those two competitions are still tbc.
2025/26:
Espanyol (h) now on sale
Tickets for Newcastle's pre-season friendly fixture at St.
James' Park against Espanyol are now on public sale, priced at £25 and £20 for
adults.
The Magpies face the Spaniards in a 7.30pm kick-off on Friday August 8th
- the night before the sold-out visit of fellow La Liga side Atletico
Madrid to Gallowgate.
This will be the fourth successive season that Eddie Howe's side
have concluded their pre-season preparations with back to back home kickabouts,
splitting the squad across both games and giving pitch time to U21 squad
players.

Born Or Died:
1932 John
Thompson born, Newcastle. (1950-57)
Goalkeeper who came through the juniors and made his debut in
a 2-2 draw at Manchester United in October 1954.
Retaining his place for the following two games before first choice custodian
Ronnie Simpson returned, John deputised again for a five game run the
following season that included the Charity Shield loss to Chelsea.
Swapping United for Lincoln City in a £2,500 deal during 1957, Thompson
returned to the North East two years later and appeared for Horden Colliery
Welfare and Annfield Plain.
Retiring from playing in 1964, Thompson ran a betting shop on Tyneside before
retiring to Beadnell on the Northumberland coast. His death was reported in
December 2006.

What Else?
1981 Defender Stuart Boam left United to
manage Mansfield Town, one of his former clubs. United received a £20,000 fee.
1999 One ex-Newcastle and England midfielder confirmed the signing of
another, as Celtic boss John Barnes hired Terry McDermott. His role?
"social manager".
2000 Hired hand and well-known football fans' champion Rogan Taylor held
a press conference at the Gateshead Marriott hotel to launch Newcastle's plans
for a Fan Forum.
The move came in the wake of the Toongate and Save our Seats episodes, which had
further damaged the club's standing amongst supporters and the media.
Unfortunately what became the Fans' Liaison Committee proved to be a damp squib
and was ultimately wound up by its frustrated members.
2002 Newcastle announced
that defender Gary Caldwell was joining Coventry City on a season-long loan. He
went on to make 41 appearances for the Sky Blues.
The Magpies also confirmed that they had released striker James Coppinger, who
had made one senior appearance for the club.
2004 What Nicos Dabizas
called the "most important moment of his life" came as Greece
defeated host nation Portugal 1-0 in the final of Euro 2004.
(We can't help wondering where
escaping from his car seconds before it burst into flames ranks in that list of
moments...!).
Sadly for the ex-Mag, he watched
the game from the subs bench as he had for the rest of Euro 2004 - never being
called into action by Greek coach Otto Rehhagel, despite having recovered from
the groin injury that saw him lose his place in the run up to the finals.
2005 United
returned to pre-season training to the news that Craig Bellamy wouldn't
be appearing as was previously expected.
Officially he was given an extra week off, along with those players who took
part in post-season senior internationals (Jean-Alain Boumsong, Jermaine Jenas, Shay
Given, Stephen Carr and Hugo Viana).
The extra leave also gave Bellamy the chance to make a permanent move away from
SJP.
Celtic still had high hopes, but Champions League qualifiers Everton looked to
be at the head of the (short) queue for the Welshman. Blackburn Rovers were
still nowhere to be seen.
2006
Magpies boss Glenn Roeder brought goalkeeping coach Terry Gennoe back to
Gallowgate for a second stint.
The former Bury, Halifax, Southampton and Blackburn 'keeper spent three years at
United from 1997 after following Kenny Dalglish from Ewood Park).
During his first stint at SJP Gennoe worked with Shay Given and Steve Harper, as
well as old boys Shaka Hislop and Pavel Srnicek.
Following Kenny to Celtic in 1999, he was on the Parkhead staff with Terry
McDermott during the ill-starred John Barnes era.
Gennoe remained there to work with Martin O'Neill and then ran his own
goalkeeping school at locations in the West of Scotland.
The 53 year-old replaced Academy coach Adam Sadler, who had taken on temporary
first team coaching duties during Roeder's time as caretaker manager.
2008
Steven Taylor signed a new three year deal, keeping him at SJP until 2011. Talks
had been ongoing for nearly a year.
2013 Newcastle were reported to have ended their interest in Wigan Athletic
striker Arouna Kone, reason unknown.
The Ivory Coast player who had scored the winning goal against United at the JJB
four months earlier went on to join Everton.
2014 Newcastle duo Mathieu Debuchy and Moussa Sissoko saw their dreams of
French World Cup glory end in the Quarter Finals.
Amid a frenzy of speculation concerning his imminent departure from United,
Debuchy played in a 0-1 loss to Germany in Rio.
Sissoko looked on from the bench, while ex Magpie Loic Remy also featured for
Didier Deschamps' side.
2019 Ten days after confirmation came that manager Rafa Benitez
was leaving his post, fellow Spaniard Ayoze Perez confirmed his departure from
Gallowgate.
The 25 year-old striker signed a four year agreement with fellow Premier League
side Leicester City after the Foxes bid £30m to trigger a contractual release
clause.
2024 Following news that a compensation deal had been reached with
Manchester United for Sporting Director Dan Ashworth, Newcastle unveiled his
successor.
Paul Mitchell arrived on Tyneside a year after
leaving his post with Monaco, having held various recruitment roles at MK Dons,
Southampton, Spurs and RB Leipzig.
