There’s not much that riles the NUC Toon Army much more than a Steve Bruce team selection/talk/post-game interview but the way The Premier League does business is NEWCASTLE MAKE CB MOVE, 4 LINKED WITH SUMMER EXITS & NEW According to the Daily Record, Newcastle are ‘pushing ahead’ with their attempts to sign Celtic centre-back Kristoffer Ajer, with Steve Bruce confident he’ll get his man.The same report also credits us with interest in Hoops teammates Odsonne Edouard and Olivier Ntcham – Full story here.; Florian Lejeune looks likely to be sold this summer, as the Shields Gazette claim Steve Bruce is CONFLICTING REPORTS NOW EMERGE ON NEWCASTLE’S ‘£6M DEAL The weekend before last, The Mirror reported that Newcastle had won the race to sign Kristoffer Ajer, stating that a £6m deal had been agreed between ourselves and Cetlic.. They claimed that he was set on a move to St James’ Park and ‘would sign’ this summer, ending Bruce’s two-year search for a new centre-back.

Mikel Arteta said last week that he will assess Willock’s situation in the summer and even hinted at possibly keeping him at The Emirates next season, but Shearer has urged Mike Ashley to “break the bank” and build a team around the 21-year-old. BRUCE REVEALS 3 NEW INJURIES, GIVES VERDICT ON 2-2 DRAW Bruce also offered a bizarre take on the ‘mole’ in the dressing room, saying such reports are “nonsense” – despite him actually confirming there was accurate information being leaked from the camp (regarding the Ritchie bust up) just a few weeks ago! NEWCASTLE EYEING FOUR FREE AGENTS The Chronicle have revealed FOUR soon-to-be free agents Newcastle are eyeing ahead of this summer’s transfer window. With finances tight at the club following the COVID pandemic that’s seen us lose over �1m per matchday, Mark Douglas reports that we’ll be working under a ‘very limited budget’ – should Ashley remain in charge – when the trading season returns. DUBIOUS ‘EXCLUSIVE’ CLAIMS £13M DOUBLE DEAL COULD BE ON According to Football Insider, Newcastle have been showing interest in a deal to bring Leeds United’s Tyler Roberts to St James’ Park this summer.. They report that the versatile forward – who can play up top, out wide or just behind the striker – has a £10m asking price on his head and could be moved on as he enters the final 12 months of his contract at Elland Road. ALAN SHEARER & ISAAC HAYDEN REACT AS VAR DENY NEWCASTLE Alan Shearer and Isaac Hayden have slammed officials after VAR denied Newcastle a blatant penalty in today’s huge win at Turf Moor. Following a brilliant Peacock-Farrell save to block Gayle’s goal bound effort, Sean Longstaff latched onto the lose ball and was kicked in the head via a high boot from James Tarkowski. WHY LATEST DWIGHT GAYLE CLAIMS MAKE SENSE As many will have read, Steve Bruce followed up a story by The Athletic by all but confirming Dwight Gayle is close to putting pen to paper over a new contract at St James' Park.
