Apperently we've made a 60 million euro bid for him and Barca have accepted due to their finanical position currently.

It's only rumours on twitter at the minute so probs nothing but. . . . and I also suspect he'll be our new Bas Dost

The Holiday Inn at Seaton Burn are preparing a room as we speak.

Tranquillo Barnetta works behind the bar there now to pay his room bill.

Beat me too it mate!

Except I was gonna say he's been seen fishing off Tynemouth Castle Rocks with Wor Tranquillo. hahaha

Or summering in Raoul Moat's caravan, Gazza getting the cans in

I've seen a couple of reports. However, as we've all seen with the lies about Isak, Bruno and Gordon.

This falls into that catagory.

Would be mint though and once again, no doubt the club has asked about him, as they have Olise and pretty much all top 5 top quality players on our list.

Whether that's a WhatsApp to the agent to see if there is any interest at all or an 'off-the-record' / 'back channeled' message to someone at Barcelona to see if they can find out what the Catalan's are doing this summer. With that Prodigious talent Lamine Yamal breaking perhaps they'll be looking at moving Ferran Torres or Rafinha.

Better than being linked to fringe squad players from Premier League relegation candidates and release free agents from relegated teams.

I'm aware we just signed Kelly however that signing is an exception, not the rule these days.

We can dream. If it is true, Bruno’ll be in his ear as they’re at the Copa America (playing Colombia a few hours from now).

[Ragatino]

Let's see if Barcelona are interested in selling and if Joe & Bruno can impress on Raf enough that Newcastle United are going in the right direction.

One massive selling point is that he'd be No.1 first choice name on the team sheet in the Right Wing position. No competing for places in that position for the Brazilian should he make the move.

That's one plus we can offer and we're got a great positive group of players too

I cant see this one..

Apparently his 2 main transfer goals are a club playing CL football or a club challenging for trophies..

But like what has been said already above... all media speculation.. I'm not getting wrapped up in any of this just yet
