Newcastle have announced that capture of 21-year-old forward William Osula from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee. It has been reported in the press the Danish U21 international cost an initial £10m rising to £15m with add-ons.
Here is the confirmation of Newcastle’s new attacker.

This is what William said about joining the rising Magpies:
“I’m very happy to be here. It’s a big club, a great club, so I’m very happy for the opportunity to join Newcastle United.
“It’s a great opportunity, and as soon as I heard about Newcastle’s interest, I knew I had to take the chance to join this club if it came.
“It has come, and I’m really happy to be here.”
Here are some thoughts from our esteemed manager Eddie Howe:
“William is a talented young forward with all the attributes to be an exciting player for Newcastle United.
“We have watched his development closely and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work with him in this next step in his career.
“I know our supporters will join me in giving William a very warm welcome to the club and the city.”
Osula joins as likely third-choice behind superstar Alexander Isak and reliable-when-fit Callum Wilson. While his arrival is primarily based on potential, the club will hope Eddie Howe can unleash Osula’s undoubted potential.
Osula is somewhat versatile being able to play on either flank while possessing capable strikes with both feet. Sheffield had used him on the left with promising moments in pre-season.
I wouldn’t expect to see much of Osula in the early parts of this season barring any disasters. He’ll be molded in training by Howe à la Lewis Hall last term. If all goes to plan, Newcastle may have a weapon in attack in the season’s second-half and beyond.

Comment #83Welcome Chris to the blog and nice to see Neil back too, although his work commitments may mean limiting his involvement.
It appears a calming influence has descended onto the blog long may it continue!
It is dependant on bloggers controlling their behaviour and giving some thought to the late doctor Ed Harrison..

It wouldn’t surprise me if it is part of a foreign national hacking/ disruption set up.

When i was there i remember there was another Irish bar close to the hole in the wall, it might have been the shamrock or possibly the Dubliner mate, the old memory is not as sharp as it was my friend 😀

Comment #95Not wanting to be controversial but Guehi has not impressed myself. He had a horrendous performance at St James last season .
He played well for England against weak opposition along with the 10 other defender’s Southgate used but not 65 million pounds worth would rather have had Thaiw for 30 I trust Eddies judgement and will be behind the lad if he signs just not overwhelmed.

Comment #96WL Gran Canaria (Cost Canaria) and Lanzarote (Los Jameos playa) are great Hotels, I must admit to not being a fan of Tenerife but Tui blue Los Gigantes was OK..
Regardless of that, hope’s are high for the club this year breaking up the elite brigade again and making them squirm..

I think he’ll be kept for cover and would only be loaned out in Jan if Botman and Lascelles are back fit.

Comment #105Had a few sherberts so apologies for the waffle ….
No need for admin if we behave ourselves, a simple fact really. Obviously there’ll be disagreements but that’s fine, just don’t drag it on for days or even hours as its only the rest of us who suffer….oh and another thing, we’re all big enough to stick up for ourselves so if a couple of people are having a spat the rest of us should just keep out of it and let them crack on. Lastly to everyone, less of the snidey digs, it’s not a good look. I prefer a full on insult than a snidey dig, you may think you’re being clever but your really not, everyone (well us neutrals at least see what you’re up to).
Actually this one’s lastly, no politics, mackems or trolls. Respect Ed, respect the blog.

The worst thing about the infighting and the single reason it blows up is the involvement of others who have foot all to do with it and are just using it as a stick to beat that person with.
Hopefully a new start, a fresh start and onwards and upwards

Comment #116I think Alex Murphy need to loaned out now.
He badly needs to start for a championship side week in week out to help him develop.
I feel if he isn’t loaned out this season, he won’t reach his potential .

I think Murphy has a long way to go mate. I don’t know if he will make it here.
Who knows as out of nowhere Miley showed his true potential however I do think like you this is the season were it will be decided if this is the right place for him or not.
