Flavien Tresarrieu, a journalist for L’Equipe, has sent out the following tweet about Newcastle’s right-back target Emil Krafth.
Emil Krafth à Newcastle, ce n'est pas encore fait. Amiens discute toujours avec deux clubs anglais, dont les Magpies. #mercato #Amiens

He has translated his tweet for us in response to a question.
Newcastle are discussing with Amiens about a transfer but no signature yet. Another English club is trying to get the player.

Le 11 Amienois also share the same information in the linked article below that another Premier League club is now trying to get the player. The article says that Emil Krafth will definitely leave Amiens this summer and it looks like he may go to the highest bidder. Amiens are currently holding out for £6.3m for the Swedish international according to the French article.

There is no information on which other club are suddenly in for the 25-year-old but it now looks like Newcastle will have some competition for their top remaining target. Newcastle have reportedly offered more than double the amount that Amiens paid for Krafth in their recently rejected bid of £4.5m. It looks like Amiens are looking to get triple the amount they paid a little over a month ago.
It does appear that there will be a lot more to surface on this as now even press in Sweden are reporting that Krafth will leave Amiens for Newcastle. Though, they are referencing the reports from France earlier today.

Comment #2The most annoying thing about Man city getting took over ahead of us is that they wouldn’t have even been considered if they hadn’t been given that stadium that the taxpayer paid for. So our fans paid toward their stadium and because of that they were chosen above us.
At the moment we are one of only a few teams attractive to buy, but once Everton and Villa get new stadiums they’ll be competing should another shiek be looking.

Comment #8If Jib really is Jane its a move of genius, because to the average reader it makes the people who say it look like demented, paranoid, obsessed simpletons. Its throwing mud into a strong wind and its sticking to yourself.. Why not stick to the Jeff in Benwell one which is believable as not many people can remember him and its less far fetched. The Harrison’s being jib is also less far fetched as at least theres a motive. I jokingly accused the wife last week, maybe she’s the frog too. Maybe there’s 1000s of Harrison’s all pretending to be people to create the illusion of a discussion.

Comment #17Club should have signed Joelinton and Rondon and upgraded Perez’s contract sufficiently to keep him. Willems on loan with an option to buy is good business, the rest of the money should have gone on a top replacement for Diame. Instead we get a typically counter intuitive summer. Probably would have happened if Rafa had stayed. I think the only thing stopping that happening was a lack of trust between the pair. I support any form of lawful protest, including a boycott, not because things are so bad, but after 12 years, we surely can’t believe in a bright future under this owner, but it’s very painful time when things come to such a pass, particularly for those giving up their seats.

Mention made there of the name Geordie and it’s origins.
Many folks all over the country supported the German King George. AKA German Geordie.
They are not all called Geordies.
Nor did they call the King – Geordie
They called him King George in the rest of the country
sheesh
*************************************************
Jib As far as I can gather Geordie as a nick name for George was used in areas other than the North East. Certainly German Geordie was used as a term for George 2nd in the wider country.
I’ve not googled that to death. Perhaps not now, but in the 1700s.
That was my assumption anyway.
Brought up in Germany did George 2nd bring that nick name with him to this country. I don’t know.
Sir Humphrey Davy did not invent a version of the miners safety lamp. Stephenson was a miner who could not read or write. He was a genius though and learned to as an adult.
He invented the lamp, but did not know why it worked.
The famous scientist of the day, part of the establishment, Sir Humphrey Davy took his invention and figured out how/why it worked.
The ruling establishment preferred to credit it to one of their own.
Dubai
I don’t know how we get from George to Geordie.
Nick names are an English tradition.
Kit, Dick, Jack, Billy, Harry, Jont, Tony.
I would guess it goes so far back that any explanation is lost.

Comment #30Yeah Jib, he’s a good addition. Looks strangely lacking in a bit of condition though. Did he not have a full preseason at Frankfurt? We have a problem at left wing back for the opener if Ritchie isn’t fit and Willems isn’t at the races yet. Probably should go 442 in that case. Something like…
……………………Dubravka.
Scharr…Lascelles…Fernandez..Dummett.
..St-Max….Hayden…Longstaff…..Almiron
……………..Muto……..Joelinton.

Comment #36I don’t see Longstaff as being a regular starter at the start of the season. I see him being brought through slowly at first, starting cup games and having a more important role towards the end of the season. I don’t think he’ll have quite as big an impact as he had in those 8 or 9 games last season either.
