In May, a report surfaced claiming that Newcastle were tracking highly-rated FC Nordsjaelland youngster Mohammed Kudus. The 19-year-old attacker is destined to leave the Danish club this summer with many interested parties tracking the attacker.
Kudus is already a full Ghanaian international who has exploded onto the scene this past year with 9 goals in 19 appearances in the Danish Superliga.
According to the outlet TodoFichajes, Newcastle are after another young player of Ghanaian descent in Anderlecht winger Jeremy Doku. The 18-year-old has dual citizenship with Belgium and Ghana. He has so far represented Belgium up to the U21 level.
Doku, pictured above, broke into the Anderlecht first team last season, making 5 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League. This season he’s emerged as a regular making 21 appearances, 14 of which were starts, in the Belgian top flight.
The winger has scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists this past season despite not turning 18 until May, which is well after the season was canceled due to the coronavirus.
According to the Ghana site Kickgh.com, Doku’s father claims he turned down a move to Liverpool to remain in Belgium.
The outlet also claims that the youngster is in discussions with the Ghana FA to switch his allegiance to the Ghana national team.
Doku has plenty of admirers in Liverpool, Dortmund, Marseille, and Galatasaray. He would be an excellent acquisition for Newcastle to foster into a potential superstar.

Jack will leave this summer as his contract is up.
Saviet, Aarons, Gayle, Atsu, Yedlin, Murphy all next summer so given the revamping of our squad will likely take at least 2 summer windows it wont be too bad, at least we know the above will all be out by next summer.

I did a Jib/ Geordietom and checked The Kelly’s status and it seems it’s still there albeit temporarily closed.
Colback’s out of contract in June and he’s been told to stay away from training. He’s off.

Gothmog’s Pyjamas; they took some shifting. New owners might not be worried about making a few pennies,and have a bargain basement sale.
Mund: Never believed 100% in any of the other sales,but this time just feels right mate.

Any chance you could explain why silence from the club over ST means something is going on?
You may have a direct line to Charnley and Ashkey but us lowly fans have been kept in the dark since day one, looks just like more of the same to me..
No change.

I’m in same boat as you. Guessing and hoping Jib means fact they are doing nothing Ashley gets to keep all of the incoming cash now and new owners have to pay it back. Thats what I’m thinking and hoping but of course I could be so so wrong

Comment #11Afternoon all, where has the sun gone.
The Kelly is still there but for how long. Even when it is open there are very few getting in, i think its only a matter of time before its pulled down for housing.
I think ST holders should start a petition and send it to the PL, it might give them an idea of how desperate some fans are for cash in these hard financial times.

I do believe that if changes are going on with the club’s bank accounts – signatories authorities etc
that the account may be suspended or frozen which would mean that monies inward would be OK
but payments not possible

Comment #13This takeover is becoming a bit of a farce now tbh. We are a rudderless ship without any sign of getting a captain any time soon.
Staveley is now involved in a court case which could take months to sort out, PIF are no further forward in getting this takeover over the line, the clubs favourite phrase.
Fans left in the dark, just like last year, and now Caulkin admitting that Staveley,s court case v Barclay,s wont help proceedings with the takeover.
This is a frekin shambles..
We should be used to the way things are at Nufc but it still boils your pish

well said. It is now already been reported that as Staveley is facing the court battle, the newcastle takeover is now in the back seat.
takeover is not happening anytime soon. we are stuck with ashley. no refund for season ticket holders.
relegation is a real possibility under the hopeless Bruce.
i firmly expect the takeover from Saudi to collapse in the coming weeks. Ashley is going nowhere.

Comment #16Cant understand why anybody would think the court case would mean the takeover takes a back seat. Yes, be a lot of work involved with the court case, but there are other parties working on the takeover and of course lawyers. I’m sure the takeover will keep on going at whatever pace is needed, maybe not as quick as we want and the court case will also carry on in the background

Comment #20How would Amanda’s court case have an impact on the takeover.
Are we not waiting for the P.L. decision.
Also will she need be in court everyday ?
Isn’t that why she has a legal team.

Comment #27Optimistic prime, Jiblets
It’s clear that Ashley’s using the takeover as a cover for not refunding monies to ST holders.
When companies are subject to and in the process of a takeover, the target company can make major spend or in this case, refund money with the agreement of the buyer.
I’m not saying it happens in all cases but it does happen. A business doesn’t have to come to a halt when it’s being bought out.

Yes, Staveley is now involved in a court case which could take months but she’ll not be in court all day every day. She’ll have top-drawer barristers dealing with her claim.
Things are taking time but rest assured, as long as the consortium and the EPL/ FA are talking, things are moving along to, we hope, a successful outcome.

Yeah i know she will have a legal team, probably one of the best, i,m just putting it out there what Caulkin has said for people who had,nt read it.
I wonder how Staveley is handling all of this, 2 huge deals running, and there is no guarantee that they will be successful.
I hope both work out for her.

Are you another one jockeying for position in the race to take over from Jib as Googlemeister? Geordietom’ll be pi$$ed off when he sees you posting useless information.
