Some clarity is arriving on Newcastle’s agreement with Everton on the transfer of Anthony Gordon. Earlier reports pegged the fee at £40m rising to £45m with add-ons. However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein is reporting Newcastle will pay £40m in total with the payment paid in full upfront.

This has now been backed by local journalists like The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, who originally suspected the transfer would be structured as much of Newcastle’s business has been under the new owners.

There is also a report that a sell-on clause has been included should Newcastle sell Gordon for mega-bucks in the future. The 21-year-old has immense promise with Eddie Howe identifying him as his top target this month.

It appears Gordon could be the only incoming of the window with a midfielder and a young right-back being pushed to the summer. Newcastle still have a lingering interest in West Ham’s Harrison Ashby but have not been able to agree on a fee. He could arrive as a free agent in the summer.

Newcastle not pursuing midfield cover could indicate Jonjo Shelvey is nearing a return to training. The 30-year-old is currently nursing a calf injury but is in line to return next month. Elliot Anderson is expected to remain behind to provide cover on the flanks and in the midfield.

He didn’t seem to have any attitude issues last year all the Everton supporters praying him.

They desperately need a centre forward, and you’d expect will go out now and buy one. CDL’s injuries and the sale of Richarlison has been a big part of their demise.

I don’t believe we have paid the whole Gordon fee up front..
a) Why would we bu55er up our own FFP,just to help out another Prem rival..
b) Everton could just ring their bank and get the whole lot off them.
Burnley did it with the Wood transfer..
c) Finally,how the foot does anyone know?

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.
