Here is Chris Wood’s press conference in full, which has been put out by nufcTV.
Chris will make his debut for Newcastle on Saturday afternoon at St. James’ Park against 4th bottom Watford.
And while we are hoping Newcastle can get a new center-back in to play in that game – time seems to be running out.

Comment #45Magicmac,
I hope you have a fantastic weekend and the Toon do the bizz, the atmosphere in the Cathedral on the hill will be something else man.
Tell your Manure supporting pal that it won`t be long before our club will be waving at them as we pass them in the lge lol
Not this season of course but you get my drift.

Comment #51who would have thought when ashley sold james milner
milner would still be on the pitch competing for trophies after ashley has sold us
he has had some career since leaving us he is 36 now and i bet he plays next season as well

I’m from a sleepy little hamlet, just to the east of Newcastle called Walker.
Anyway, enjoy!
Don’t travel east though, there’s hardly any pubs here lol

Comment #62Magicmac,
Never been in the Dog&Parrot mate but The Strawberry is rammed on a match day, right next to the ground so it`s handy for a pint just before you take your seat in the stands.
Not sure what kind of bars you prefer but the Haymarket after the game is my choice for a drink.
If you get the chance give Sergeant Peppers a look, cracking bar playing hits from the good old days 70s, 80,s 90,s

Comment #64Magicmac,
Hope you have a proper belter of a weekend and you witness a Toon win.
Shame I’m not back home as I would have shown you how to perform on the green baize mate. I recall you mentioning you were half decent at pool.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to give you that lesson. And it would have only cost you a pint a game, coz you would have lost everytime π
All the best for your trip.

Thanks mate, i take your point the strawberry will probably be to packed on match day, ive made an note of sergeant peppers and the haymarket they sound good, if you see two dodgy looking characters one with a tash, youl know the eagle has landed mate π π

I hope the toon is prepared for you’re imminent arrival!
My choice of pubs in Newcastle are the three bulls on Percy Street near the ground, Rosie bar even nearer or as WLtoon has said, sergeant peppers. Wherever you go though, you will find a warm welcome and a cracking night out. Enjoy and tell us how you got on after our 5-0 humping of Watford.

I am working tomorrow night so unfortunately ile be wrecked Saturday, so ile be a good lad and stay at home.
No doubt you will be hammered Saturday night after you and your pal get carried away with the atmosphere in Toon, hopefully after a win.
You could try a pint in NINE bar underneath the Gallowgate , good atmosphere in there mate

Comment #77Haidara has a 40 million euro summer release clause, if we pay that now Leipzig may well sell.
