Newcastle were reportedly interested in CSKA Moscow striker Fedor Chalov this summer. According to Craig Hope with the Daily Mail, Newcastle looked at the 21-year-old but were put off by the fee he would command and didn’t follow up on their initial interest.

Crystal Palace also were keen on the Russian and tried to land Chalov at the end of the summer window. However, they were unable to pry him from his hometown club who rejected their £23m bid.

Earlier this week, Newcastle were linked with having a long-standing interest in RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen. Poulsen, at 25, has blossomed into a star in the Bundesliga. He would most likely command a fee to rival what Newcastle paid Hoffenheim for record-signing Joelinton.

Fedor Chalov– rising star in Russia

We wonder if Newcastle still have an interest in Chalov whose fee would likely be in the £25-30m range.

Chalov is an excellent finisher but also is an astute passer of the ball. He creates a lot of chances for his teammates. While he is not very good in the air like Poulsen is, Newcastle already have Joelinton who has been very impressive with aerial duels this season.

Chalov has scored 4 goals with 3 assists in his 12 appearances this season. Last season, he scored 17 goals and added 7 assists. We think he has the potential to be a striker of real quality. If Newcastle are actually willing to splash the cash for a new striker, we would prefer they go for Chalov over Yussuf Poulsen.

Here is the goal Chalov scored this weekend against Krasnodar which is where former Newcastle midfielder Remy Cabella currently plays.

The spotty student from Hemel Hempstead who has never been to Newcastle
is starting to get to grips with things though:-
He used “divvent” the other day (spelled it incorrectly but made the effort)
and just above he’s used “aye”
there’s clearly an opening for a brilliant young impersonator like toon22 awaiting him at MI5
(or maybe MFI)

17 February, 2023

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.

Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.

I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.

They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.

The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.

I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.

The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.

The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.

They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.

I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.

It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).

It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.

I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.

So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.

It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.

It is as it is - and another challenge in life.
