Here is the first photo we’ve seen of Aleksandar Mitrovic wearing the famous black and white shirt of Newcastle United, and he’s wearing it at the Hilton Hotel in Newcastle – there’s the Tyne Bridge in the background and you see the Hilton name on the window.
Thinks – wonder which hotel he’s staying at in Newcastle?
Now he mightn’t get any sleep tonight.
🙂
Now he wouldn’t be wearing this if he had failed his medical now would he.
It also looks like he likes wearing the Newcastle United shirt at his hotel – he seems to have just kept it on – brilliant!
And there’s news (a video in Serbian) from back in 2011 when he was 16 and at Partizan – he was asked what his favorite club was, and he said Partizan Belgrade of course – followed by Newcastle United in the English League.

Comment #7Does appear to me that Wally has much more influence with Mr Tubbs than King Percy did.
(Don’t blame him I wouldn’t hace trusted King Percy with my wallet viz signing Obertron).
Hopefully it continues for a summer spree of five players. That would then be a reasonable foundation upon which to build.
As well as trying to introduce a new philosophy Wally and his team will have to remove traces of the previous regimes Percy and Carvers’ doctrines/1980’s coaching.
It’s going OK at the moment -hope it continues.

The Ritual Scuttling of Queen Cheryl of Low Heaton is part and parcel of all new signings at nufc, although i hope for her sake it wasn’t when Obertan signed.

Comment #14What a great pair of signings so far for our great team. Couple of centre backs of the highest quality for sure is needed. Good to hear TFL is well enough to chat. HWTL. My expectations are increasing by the day. Roll on August 9th. You couldn’t Make it up.

Comment #22Yes, it’s him, or his brother, or some random guy doing the cleaning. Anyway, Waved to him through my office window from other side of Tyne Bridge. Going home now, will pop in to Hylton for a cuppa on the way.

I saw you post earlier.
Your generation doesn’t have a monopoly on unbridled optimism you know.
We weren’t born grumpy. We got that way from seeing bright new tomorrow’s turn into all out yesterdays.
You can positively reinforce a sow’s ear for the rat of your life. It won’t turn it into a silk purse.
I hate that kind of self-serving management gobsh*te invented by talentless knackers, anyway.

Comment #32Wonder when the press conference will be, unless they have pre recorded one with the chosen few again !
Actually if they continue to make significant signings I won’t be bothered if they continue with the pre recorded interviews

Comment #34Mr T
Haven’t you driven enough bloggers away with your silly and childish name calling. Self delusion, self righteousness,elitism in seeing yourself as the blog controller.
Your cliquishness doesn’t bother me. I wasn’t phased when you claimed Ruddy was performing Paddy Mc Ginty’s goat at the Theatre Royal. Oh, he is!

Comment #35BandB you lost me a little in the last sentence. There’s a limit, I don’t expect people to look at rubbish and see diamonds. I also don’t expect people to jump on the I love ashley bus. However highlighting past crap doesn’t appear to help anything particularly when our wishes last year seem to be being answered one by one. Still a long way to go but I’m sure even you hope I’m right!

Comment #37We’ll never sign Wijnaldum. No chance of us paying that for Mitrovic. We need defenders… GTF IN!!! Time to enjoy the coming season. Please, less of the negativity in future. We wanted a team that tries and Macca’s putting it together. In fact, he may well be putting a team that wins something. This is all we asked for, right? Let’s get SJP back to the place teams were scared to visit and do our bit to back the team to the hilt.

Of course I hope you are right.
I have hoped hundreds of bloggers would be right and “I told you so” me until the day I die.
I won’t be reading. I will be watching the football at SJP

Comment #40with wij/mit and chancel as minimum amount of signings the club has earnt my respect and have shown ambition !
they still need to make up for all the poor footy and embarasment over the past years though through mistake after mistake but this season i’ll be smiling for the first few games unless the new signings dont turn out as good as we expect.
