It was revealed this morning that Newcastle have reached an agreement in principle to sign Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners. The forward will arrive on Tyneside for a medical and to finalize personal terms later this week.

Some further details have since emerged on the potential deal. The Mail has revealed that Newcastle will pay just £300,000 for the 18-year-old, which is the amount of his release clause.

He will head out on loan once the move is official in January. As reported initially, there are a number of European clubs eager to bring him in for the remainder of the season.

The Northern Echo has indicated that personal terms will not be an issue. Once everything is sorted, Kuol will return to Australia to start the season with Central Coast Mariners. Their season kicks off next weekend against Newcastle Jets.

Barring any unforeseen issues, Kuol will be Newcastle’s first signing of the winter window. It’s a window Newcastle are expected to be active in despite spending north of £100m in the summer.

Newcastle have been heavily linked with Leicester’s James Maddison and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhaylo Mudryk. It should be another exciting window as the club continues to build toward a bright future.

Saw someone tip this player on the blog earlier this week. He seems to be having a great season with his hometown club, after being tipped to leave in the summer.

Get Maddison, Mudryk, and a top quality CB like Lacroix from Wolfsburg to replace Schar in January and we are set.
We need a pacey CB as our back line lacks pace and Lacroix has bundles of it.
with this team we can beat anyone

I think it was Tyran21 who highlighted Enzo in response to some Shelvey replacement speculation.
He can certainly pick a pass from the footage I watched.

1 year left in his contract if I remember correctly. Perfect Shelvey’s replacement.

Not really a DM though, but he does put in effort doing the dirty work which I really like. Not sure what’s Howe’s plan regarding getting a DM in.

Mund,
Which rationally thinking person would make that that Hendricks was a coup was it a reporter if so without checking was it Edwards the WUM of reporter’s?. That is the most outrageous comment I’ve heard in a very long time that Hendricks was indeed a coup wtf 😆

Lacroix would be a great purchase. Got all the minerals to make it as a top PL CB.
Definitely needs to be the type of player we need to be targeting

Mund – context is key, Hendrick was potentially a decent signing at the time.
Dean0 – that is an expensive shopping list you got going there.

Howay mate come off it
He was an Ashley cheap free purchase and was never a good player IMO
One of the most underwhelming purchases of our time
What context are you talking about,..?
Not you or anyone can tell me otherwise.
I’d rather Choudury 😉

“Coup” may not have been an excellent choice of words. But I recall times when signing anyone was a “coup”

A complete waste of time and wages we paid him. Another passenger of the Ashley era

Apologies just caught up on the Blog been doing some cooking chores.
OK see the comment now. ToonDarnSarf mate? To be balanced you can make some very good points I’ve seen a few to be fair, however. It will be very interesting to hear your thinking as to why you’d honestly think Hendricks was a coup.
I’ll help you a wee bit, maybe it was a coup in the Ashley era? Even then that free signing was a slap in our faces as supporter’s if thats the best we could do. Strange point to make in all honesty #scratchingmyheademoji.com

#21 Southgate normally speaks very well, he is an eloquent talker to be fair. However, it’s his negative defensive play it safe approach just as he was as a player that he has brought into his management style and set up is the main issue.
I posted earlier that we only witnessed the proper England when we went 2:0 down, then we had to get the bull by the horns and go on the front foot. We went 3:2 up in 12mins.. the England squad really do have the potential to go all the way.
A good thing on the back of that above comeback is when it comes down to finals, the players can go all gun ho and just go for it.

What says you now The Guardian
Denmark will wear “toned down” shirts for the World Cup to protest against host Qatar’s human rights record and its treatment of migrant workers.
Kit provider Hummel has also designed a third, all-black kit, to represent the “colour of mourning”.
Hummel said it “does not wish to be visible” in a tournament it claims “has cost thousands of lives”.

Mund, exactly my point. I see no proof that you were in favour of Hendrick but there were times that most fans were pleased to see almost anyone through the door. Those were also the times we got Hendrick on a free.
It does seem to me that your posts were essentially designed to belittle TDS.

I think Edwards was drunk on his Shirley Temples and was thinking Jimmy Hendrick.
😉
And before someone points it out, yes I know that Jimi Hendrix is spelt differently.
That was close.

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.
