Update:
Defensive duo eyed
Amid persistent claims of a deal reuniting Bournemouth defender Lloyd
Kelly with his former boss Eddie Howe, another free transfer
acquisition for Newcastle from elsewhere in the Premier League is
now predicted.
The defender in question is Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo, who
was reportedly dropped from the side last week after making it clear
he wasn't seeking an extension to his current contract that expires
this summer.
Manchester-born to Nigerian parents, 26 year-old Adarabioyo began
his career with Manchester City and made the first of eight senior
competitive appearances against Chelsea in the FA Cup during
February 2016.
Loaned to Championship sides West Bromwich Albion in 2018/19 and
Blackburn Rovers during 2019/20, he made a �2m switch to Premier
League Fulham ahead of the 2020/21 season and faced Newcastle for
the first time in a 1-1 draw at Gallowgate that December.
Suffering relegation in that first season, left footer Adarabioyo
helped the Cottagers to make an instant return to the top-flight.
He's played 78 times in the Premier League, scoring three times and
was capped by England as a youngster up to U19 level.
25 year-old Bristolian Kelly came through the ranks at Bristol City,
playing two seasons in the Championship at Ashton Gate before a
�13m move to Bournemouth in the summer of 2019.
Also demoted from the Premier League in his maiden season as a
Cherry, he endured two seasons in the Championship before helping
his side to promotion.
To date, Kelly has made 52 top-flight appearances without finding
the net. He's also left footed.
Capped by England at U20 and U21 level, Lloyd's international
colleagues in the latter group included current Magpie, Harvey
Barnes.

2023/24:
Burnley (a)
Saturday sees the Magpies on the
road again, facing Vincent Kompany's Clarets at Turf Moor in an
old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm kick-off. Eddie Howe returns to his former club
as he takes charge of his 100th Premier League game for Newcastle, looking for his 49th victory. His other PL games have seen 25 draws and 26 defeats, making him United's second most successful manager in the reformed top tier behind Kevin Keegan (first spell).
Team: Miggy Almiron is back with
the senior squad after injury and was seen training on Wednesday.
News on the availability of Fabian Schar is awaited after he was
withdrawn at half time during Saturday's victory over Sheffield
United.
There's increasing optimism that Joelinton is closing in on a return
after being out since the FA Cup victory at the mackems in early
January.
Kieran Trippier meanwhile is training in Dubai as he looks to get
back on the field for the closing three games of the season -
presumably the minimum requirement to convince England boss Gareth
Southgate that he's available for Euro 2024 selection.
Joe Willock, Lewis Miley, Matt Targett, Sandro Tonali, Sven
Botman and Jamaal Lascelles won't play again this season. Nick
Pope's availability is unclear.
Assuming he keeps his place, Martin
Dubravka will make his 150th Premier League appearance for
Newcastle. Dan Burn meanwhile is one game away from completing a
century of Magpie outings in all competitions.

other two of their most recent matches.

race:
Coming up
Following confirmation of Leicester
City's return to the Premier League as Championship title winners,
the rest of the promotion issues will start to be clarified after
the final round of league games are played on Saturday.
Ipswich Town currently lie second and avoiding defeat at home to
Huddersfield Town will see the Tractor Boys return to the top flight
for the first time since 2002.
Only Leeds United can now overhaul them, while both Southampton and
Norwich City are already assured of a spot in the play-offs
regardless of their final result.
That leaves West Bromwich Albion occupying the final playoff spot;
avoiding defeat at home to Preston North End will confirm that for
the Baggies, regardless of what nearest challengers Hull City do at
Plymouth Argyle.
The Championship playoff final takes place at Wembley on Sunday May
26th.

Update:
Bruno update
Speaking on Friday, Eddie Howe confirmed recent media claims of a
limited duration release clause for Bruno Guimaraes in his
latest contract - reportedly a fee �100m payable in full by
the end of June:
"Having that was well planned and structured by the club, in
a sense that there�s a sort of finish point.
"We don�t want constant
speculation, it�s not healthy for the player or for us. It goes
without saying we want to keep him, I want to build our team around
him.
"His form has been very
good � he seems very happy and settled. He�ll be thinking about
a very busy summer ahead, where hopefully we can take the team with
him a big part of it. But we aren�t in control of that so let�s
see.�
2024/25:
Japan tour claim
The Chronicle report that Newcastle have been given the
opportunity to play two pre-season games in Japan against J-League
sides in July.
They name the possible opponents as Yokohama F Marinos and Urawa Red
Diamonds, with a date for the latter opponent listed as July
31st.
No official confirmation of either game has been received as yet,
with Urawa fan sites also mentioning the possible Magpies meeting in
the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, United's post-season opponents Spurs have announced a
kickabout against J-League side Vissel Kobe in Tokyo on July 27th.
Kobe's current squad includes former Magpie Yoshinori Muto.
Our first visit to Japan followed the 1982/83 season, playing four
games in three cities - Toyko, Okayama and Nagoya - en route to
lifting the Japan Cup.
And thanks to Japanese Mag Simon Moran for reminding us of a
more recent game we played in Japan, losing 1-3 to Gamba Osaka in
August 1996.
Update:
Gillespie
retained
The Mail newspaper reported on Friday that Newcastle have
exercised an option to extend the contract of goalkeeper Mark
Gillespie for a further 12 months.
The 32 year-old Tynesider signed a three year deal when arriving at
Gallowgate from Motherwell in 2020 and agreed a one season extension
last summer.
Selected on the bench by Eddie Howe at various times during his
managerial reign, Gillespie's only competitive appearances for
United remain a trio of Carabao Cup starts under Steve Bruce during
September 2020.

Europe: latest
Qualification for Europe in 2024/25 looks
like this, as much as we're able to discern:
There are seven guaranteed European spots; four in the Champions
League, two in the Europa League and one in the Conference League.
Those were originally allocated as follows:
PL 1st-4th in Champions League
PL 5th in Europa League
FA Cup winners in Europa League
Carabao Cup winners in Conference League
Liverpool currently have the Conference League place as Carabao Cup
winners, but will take a Champions League place if they finish in
the Premier League top four, which looks almost guaranteed.
That frees up the Conference League place to the team finishing
sixth in the Premier League.
The FA Cup winners take a Europa League place - unless they have
earned a Champions League place by virtue of a top four Premier
League finish.
If Manchester City win the FA Cup and finish in the top four of the
Premier League, they will enter the Champions League.
The sixth place finishers would go into the Europa League spot
reserved for Manchester City, with the Conference League spot
occupied by the team finishing seventh.
If Manchester United win the FA Cup, they'll take a Europa League
place unless they finish in the top four and collect a Champions
League slot.
Should they finish in the Conference League position, they would
take the Europa League spot resulting from a Wembley success
instead.
If Manchester United finished eighth and therefore only qualified for
Europe by winning the FA Cup, the team in seventh spot wouldn't gain
entry to any European competition.
Aston Villa have qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa
Conference League (known as the UEFA Conference League next season).
If they won that competition, they would occupy an additional spot
in the Europa League reserved for the Conference winners only -
regardless of nationality.
Should Villa snag a Champions League or Europa League spot via their
Premier League finishing spot though, the Europa League place
reserved for them as Conference League winners would not be
reallocated to another Premier League team.

On This Day in History |
1st May |
Born Or Died:
1905 John Dowsey born, Willington
(1924-26)
Winger/inside forward who began his playing career with Hunwick Villa before
signing for United as an amateur in March 1924 and turning professional within
three months.
John was a regular scorer for the reserve side in the North Eastern League,
debuting for the seniors in a 3-1 home victory over Spurs in November
1925.
Two further appearances followed but by the following May, Jack had moved on to
West Ham. He played just once for them however and joined Carlisle United in
August 1927.
Dowsey's next move took him to the mackems in 1928, Notts County a year later
and then Northampton Town in 1931.
1934 found him playing for Nuneaton, having converted to a centre half by
then.
John was later landlord of the Red Lion in Costock near Loughborough and sadly
took his own life during October 1942.
1943 Trevor Hockey born, Keighley, Yorkshire. (1963-65)
Having played both rugby codes at school, Trevor took up the
round ball game seriously as a teenager and was selected for the West Riding
U19 XI on the right wing.
Signing amateur forms with Bradford City in 1958, Hockey turned professional
two years later on his 17th birthday and was soon playing in the Bantams first
team.
Swapping Valley Parade for the City Ground in 1961, two years at Nottingham
Forest led to Newcastle paying �25K for his services.
After a forgettable debut in a 0-4 home loss to Cardiff City in November 1963,
Trevor kept his place until the festive season but afterwards was used more
sparingly.
Appearing more regularly in the promotion season of 1964/65, Hockey netted his
first United goal in December at home to Pompey and promptly got his second the
following week against Northampton Town.
Almost an ever-present for the opening months of our top-flight return, Trevor
netted in a home defeat by Manchester United but lost his place and left soon
after for Birmingham City in November 1965.
Six seasons at St.Andrews saw him become something of cult figure in a central
midfield role, even releasing a single ("Happy 'Cos I'm Blue")
and completing the notable feat of playing on all 92 Football League grounds.
A switch to Sheffield United in 1971 was followed by the first of nine Welsh
caps, later moves taking him to Norwich City and Aston Villa before
rejoining Bradford City.
Hockey was installed as player-manager of Irish side Athlone
Town in 1976 before moving to the USA, playing for the San Diego Jaws and
becoming player/coach at San Jose Earthquakes and Las Vegas Quicksilvers.
Returning to England in 1977 and taking the manager's post at non-league
Stalybridge Celtic, he moved on to similar role with Keighley Town in 1980.
Trevor sadly collapsed and died suddenly in April 1987 after playing
five-a-side at Marley Stadium in Keighley, West Yorkshire. He was a month shy
of his 44th birthday.
Possessor of the widest range of barnets sported by any Toon
player, Trevor's clean cut, flat top look had mutated into a Beatle mop by the
time he was at St. Andrew's.
He then sprouted sideburns that developed into a full grown beard and then
something of a biblical, hippy-like reincarnation (man).
1973 James Crawford born, Chicago, USA. (1995-98)
Although born on the other side of the Atlantic, midfielder
Jimmy was brought up in the Republic of Ireland and was signed from junior
football in Dublin by Bohemians.
Winning the FAI Young Player of the Year award for 1993/94, Crawford was
invited to Tyneside for trials in 1994, also spending some time with Aston
Villa.
Signing for �75,000 the following year, he received an U21 call-up for the
Republic of Ireland and debuted for Newcastle from the bench in a home League
Cup victory over Bristol City in October 1995.
With no Magpies reserve league side at that time, Jimmy was farmed out to
Rotherham United the following season and played eleven times for the Millers.
1997/98 pre-season preparations saw him back with Newcastle's first team,
scoring against Derry City to his great delight in a tournament at Lansdowne
Road in Dublin.
However, a hamstring injury sidelined him while Kevin Keegan gave way to Kenny Dalglish at SJP - although the latter handed him two Premier League substitute
outings: in the second Anfield 3-4 loss and a 4-0 home victory over Coventry
City.
Afflicted by injuries again the following season, Crawford was loaned to Dundee
United but played just once for them, against Hibernian in February 1998.
Within a month Newcastle had accepted a �50K bid from Reading, a move which
saw Jimmy reunited with former Magpies coach Tommy Burns and striker Paul
Brayson, who also moved at the same time.
In two injury-hit years with the Royals, Jim made 20 appearances and scored
once, in a win over Bristol City (fellow ex-Mag Brian Tinnion netting for City
in the same game).
Leaving in 2000, Crawford returned to Ireland and signed for Dublin-based
Shelbourne, where he remained until 2007.
A transfer to the newly-founded Sporting Fingal club was followed by retirement
from playing, after which he acted as coach and caretaker boss of Shamrock
Rovers in 2008.
Jim subsequently held the post of FAI Football Development Officer
for South Dublin followed by coaching roles with Ireland's U18/U19 and U21 squad.
April 2020 found him taking over as Ireland U21 coach in the wake of
Stephen Kenny's elevation to national senior team boss.
1991 Ryan Donaldson born, Newcastle.
(2006-12)
With Newcastle's Academy from the age of nine, Ryan
was a regular schoolboy scorer for St.Cuthberts - although he came close to
accepting a contract from the mackems before United intervened.
Making his U18 debut at the tail end of the 2005/06 season, striker Ryan's reserve bow at Wigan in January 2007 was followed by a goal against Blackburn
two months later - before his 16th birthday.
That club form earned him an England U17 call-up, scoring twice on his debut
against Iceland in July 2007 and going on to grab nine strikes in 12
international outings.
Appearing more in midfield in season 2007/08 for the reserve and U18s, Ryan was
blooded by Kevin Keegan as a sub against Mallorca in pre-season, before being
named on the first team bench at Old Trafford in August 2009.
Debuting for the first team late in a home win over Leicester City
in August 2009, a first senior start came in the league cup tie at Peterborough
a month later.
Remaining on the first team fringes at SJP, Ryan joined Hartlepool United on
loan in January 2011 and then went to Tranmere Rovers the following season, but
played just once before injuring a hamstring.
Named as an unused substitute for United's home game against Norwich City
in March 2012,
Ryan added a fourth Northumberland Senior Cup winner's medal to his collection
two months later but was then released.
Following trials at St.Johnstone and Carlisle United, he joined Gateshead for the 2012/13
season before moving on to Conference rivals Cambridge United.
Ryan
enjoyed two successful trips to Wembley with the U's - scoring in both the FA Trophy and
playoff finals - the latter against his former side Gateshead.
Remaining at Cambridge, he was released in 2016 following
their failure to gain promotion from League Two.
Signing for Plymouth Argyle, he helped the Pilgrims into League One but lost
his place after breaking his jaw and moved on once again under freedom of
contract in 2017.
A second spell at Hartlepool United followed, returning to Victoria Park following the
club's demotion from the Football League. He left in July 2021 and joined
Morpeth Town.
1992 Samuel Ameobi, born Newcastle
(2008-17)
The third of the Ameobi brothers to play for Newcastle after
Shola and Tomi, fellow forward Sammy was recruited from Walker Central Boys
Clubs and first appeared in the U18 side during the 2008/09 season.
He also debuted at reserve level and found the Central League Cup to his
liking, scoring twice in a 2-1 win at Hartlepool and once against Carlisle.
However, Sammy's season was curtailed by a knee injury in early 2009 that kept
him out of action until 2010.
Featuring at reserve and junior level in the following two seasons, Ameobi
answered a call-up for Nigeria U20s in March 2011, for
friendly matches staged in the UAE.
His first team debut came two months later at Stamford Bridge, joining his
elder brother on the pitch for the closing stages of an entertaining 2-2 draw.
A pre-season goal at Darlington sparking a ridiculous pitch invasion shot Sammy
into the limelight early the following season, was swiftly followed by
a spectacular winner at Scunthorpe in the Carling Cup.
Some erratic substitute appearances for followed, together
with a pair of caps for England U21s in November 2011.
However, 2012 began in poor fashion for him, a season-ending knee injury
incurred during a reserve game with Wigan.
The following season saw Sammy make a single Premier League start plus several
substitute appearances and four starts in the Europa League.
Loaned to the smoggies in February 2013, Sammy marked his debut with a goal in
a 2-1 home win over Cardiff City, but failed to add to that tally in eight
other games.
A promising start to the 2013/14 season including a goal in the
League Cup at Morecambe was again blighted by injury.
The 2014/15 campaign saw Sammy feature more often - partly due to the departure
of Shola - and memorable goals came at Spurs and Hull. However a lack of consistency saw him rotate in and out of the starting lineup.
With his future in question as his contract neared expiry, a new
two year deal was agreed in tandem with a
season-long loan to Championship side Cardiff City as Steve McClaren arrived at
SJP.
However, that failed to be a springboard for Sammy's career and he was unable to
retain a regular starting place as the Bluebirds missed out on the playoffs.
Returning to Tyneside for the final year of his deal, Ameobi found himself
omitted from Rafa's senior squad and in the reserves.
Loaned to Bolton Wanderers for six months in August 2016, he made 24
appearances for the Trotters, scoring four times and making a good
impression.
Back at United in January 2017, Sammy ended a 20 month gap between games for the club when appearing from
the bench in a home win over Rotherham United.
Three further substitute outings followed and Ameobi remained with the senior
squad for the remainder of the Championship-winning season before leaving as a
free agent.
To nobody's great surprise he then agreed a permanent return to Bolton
Wanderers, putting pen to paper on a 12 month deal.
The financial mismanagement of the Trotters led to Sammy and his colleagues
taking the unprecedented step of refusing to play after non-payment of wages in
April 2019.
The final year of his contract at Bolton was cancelled and Sammy signed a
one-year deal with Nottingham Forest which was extended.
He left the City Ground in June 2021 and joined Middlesbrough but was released in June 2022 without making an appearance and hasn't appeared anywhere since.
1999 Ludwig Francillette, born Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe
(2019-21)
Towering
central defender who arrived on Tyneside as a trialist in 2019 and won a place
in the U23 squad, having also spent time in Scotland with St. Mirren. Appearing
for French minor league side AS Quetigny following his release by Dijon,
Ludwig was spotted by United in a game staged in Paris by an agency to
showcase semi-professional and amateur players.
sighted in pre-season in a kickabout at Hibernian's training ground, his
competitive U23 bow wasat Hull City that October.
And a first goal for the club arrived during a 1-1 draw with Benfica at
Whitley Park the following month, a powerful header.
Francillette trained with the first team ahead of United's FA Cup
tie against Rochdale in 2020, but fellow U23s Tom Allan, Elias Sorensen
and Lewis Cass got the nod instead for bench duty.
Released by the club in Summer 2021, Ludwig joined League
Two side Crawley Town in August and scored his first senior
goal against Newport County in April 2022. He left Crawley Town and joined National League side Eastleigh in July 2023.
Internationally, he represented Guadeloupe as a youngster. 2006
Lewis Miley born, Stanley.
(2021-present)
The
younger brother of fellow Newcastle midfielder Jamie, Lewis joined the club's
Academy aged seven and debuted for the U18s against Burnley in August 2021 -
with Jamie in the same line-up.
Winning his first England cap for the U17s in August 2022, within days he'd
been blooded at reserve level during an EFL Trophy tie away to Doncaster
Rovers.
A hectic few months followed during which Lewis scored his first U21 goals,
made two senior appearances in friendly matches and won the Jack Hixon
Sport Newcastle award for most promising local youngster.
Introduced late on in United's 5-0 friendly win over Al-Hilal in
Riyadh, Miley then had another brief runout in the home victory over Rayo
Vallecano days later.
An unused substitute for United's Premier League trip to Bournemouth in
February, his 17th birthday in May 2023 brought confirmation of a first
professional deal. His first competitive start came against Manchester City
that September and he established himself in the first team, becoming the club's youngest ever European player against
Borussia Dortmund at 17 years and 191 days. He also holds the record for Newcastle's youngest ever Premier League scorer, after netting in the 3-0 home victory over Fulham
that December. Having signed
his first professional deal on his 17th birthday in May 2023, he put pen to
paper on a long-term contract contract the following January.
However his season then ended prematurely after picking up a back injury while
away with England U20s.
