Ornstein, Romano, Downie, Hope all reported the club have been in negotiation with Frankfurt and the players agent for around a week.

Even that horrible C**t Delaney is reporting that the deal is a long way down the road. If that loathsome little rat is even making none hate-filled comments about Newcastle United then it's a pretty clear we're close to getting the deal done.

No matter how much that worm hates us, his can't bare to miss an opportunity to placated his pathetic short man ego, so crawled out from under his rock to comment.

German Press are saying the Frankfurt people are in Austria meeting NUFC near the training retreat.

Seems to be well advanced and all the heavy hitters are making all the right positive noises.

Great option up top! A far better choice than Joao Pedro IMO. I really think this is a genius transfer to take the weight off Isak's shoulders and give Eddie Howe loads of options in rotation and pairing the two with Hugo in a Deep Laying SS/No.10 role

Very exciting!
