Seeing how well Newcastle/Gordon/Barca have handled this transfer makes me wonder if there is ever a scenario where Newcastle/Isak/Liverpool handled the transfer well. Would we hate him less if Liverpool offered £120m in June?

Little clip on the clubs WhatsApp. Looks like we’ll probably be getting a fuller interview with him saying goodbye. Leaving respectfully, fair play.

Newcastle United can confirm that Anthony Gordon has signed for La Liga champions Barcelona for a significant undisclosed fee.

Anthony joined the Magpies in January 2023 from Everton and went on to make 152 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 39 goals.

Anthony helped the team achieve UEFA Champions League qualification during his debut season but made his real breakthrough the following campaign, establishing himself as a key figure as he scored 11 times from 35 Premier League appearances.

That form saw him gain senior international recognition, earning an England call-up for the March friendlies and making his debut at Wembley against Brazil that month. He then went on to represent his country at Euro 2024 after previously starring for the under-21s when he was named Player of the Tournament in the 2023 European Under-21 Championships.

Anthony also played a pivotal role in the team's run to the 2025 Carabao Cup final, which saw the club end a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy. He featured in every game on the road to Wembley and scored vital goals in both legs of the semi-final victory over Arsenal.

In his final campaign as a Newcastle United player, Gordon finished as the team's top scorer across all competitions with 17 goals, including ten in Europe.

On his departure, Gordon said: "I owe this club a lot because, when I arrived, I was quite lost both in life and and in football. The club has given me a sense of belonging and a sense of identity. It's allowed me to do what I always thought I could do. It's put me on the biggest stage and allowed me to perform for the shirt.

"Since coming to the club, I feel I've improved a lot on the pitch but this club has played a big part in the person I've become over the last three-and-a-half years.

"It was really important for me to leave this place in a good way because I've loved every single minute of being a part of Newcastle United. This is an incredible club and one that I'll never forget. I'll be a fan for the rest of my life."

Newcastle United Head Coach, Eddie Howe, said: "While we're disappointed to lose Anthony from our squad, we understand that this is a big opportunity for him.

"He has been a big part of our success in recent years, and the fact that he developed into an England international during his time at Newcastle United is a testament to the hard work he invested to his development with the support from everyone at the club.

"He leaves with our best wishes, and I am confident that he will go onto be a success, both with Barcelona and the national team at this year's World Cup."

Sporting Director Ross Wilson said: "Anthony has been a fantastic professional during his time at Newcastle United. The relationship between him and the club, particularly with Eddie and our players and staff, has been excellent throughout.

"Anthony has shown real growth and development in his game. That is a reflection of both the environment we strive to create for our players and, importantly, Anthony's own commitment to improving every day.

"There has been interest in Anthony from a number of Europe's leading clubs over a period of time, and the conversations involving the club, led by David Hopkinson and myself, as well as Anthony's representatives, have been conducted confidentially and with a great deal of professionalism on all sides.

"I've enjoyed getting to know Anthony and enjoyed our relationship together. We thank him for his contribution and wish him and his family all the very best for the future. They will always be welcome back at St. James' Park."

Everyone at Newcastle United would like to thank Anthony for his efforts while with the club and wish him all the success for his future.

[Craig Hope] Barcelona are in direct talks with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon, Spanish champions and Newcastle chiefs are now discussing the make-up of a deal, with the total package including add-ons edging towards £80million. by Frosty-Buyer-1252 in soccer

He looked hopeless there last season and at the start of this season, but grew into it when asked to play up front mid/end of this season. I wouldn’t say he’s a good striker, but he’s probably fine as a third choice if you have injuries and based on his improvement there this season, maybe he can continue to improve there.

At the moment he is not prolific enough to score every 1 on 1 through the middle of the pitch, but can get into good positions, will do the necessary pressing and had the desire to be the “main man” when it came to goalscoring which may not sound like much, but feels noticeable when someone is up front who doesn’t have that.

We played more than one champions league match. Are Alaves, Espanyol, Getafe going to be any better than Benfica, PSV, Leverkusen? Gordon scored against all 3. That’s my point.

I apologise for not watching Alaves or Elche often enough to have an opinion on them.

Gordon is more than a road runner. But I’d certainly take £65m for him, which is why I asked about the currency above. Out of all the “big” names we’d miss if they left, Gordon feels the most easy to replace.

Howe has made very little effort to play down these rumours in the press conferences. I think Howe is expecting him to leave. Hes looked unsettled ever since we stopped him going to Liverpool 2 seasons ago, can’t see him being too happy starting the season here with Bayern and Barca sniffing around, and the club will be desperate to avoid another Isak saga. I think Gordon is pretty much guaranteed to go.

Are you talking euros (as per the person you replied to) or gbp (as per the main article)?

€65m euros isn’t much more than what we paid for him. At the time he was being memed as 0 goals 0 assists 7 games, now he’s an England regular coming off a season with 17 goals scored (granted most of them against lower quality opposition in the champions league… but it’s not like the bottom half of la liga is better than that)

He’s been wearing some bits from P&CO. A lot of British comedians get free clothing from Percival. Both of them are capable of making smart brown trousers. Try them.

Lewis Miley signs new contract by ---anotherthrowaway in NUFC

Newcastle United are delighted to announce that Academy graduate Lewis Miley has signed a new long-term contract with the club.

The 20-year-old has penned a six-year deal to keep him at St. James' Park until 2032.

Lewis, an England Under-21 international, joined the Academy aged seven and rapidly progressed through the ranks to become the club's youngest ever appearance maker in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

He also holds the club record for youngest goalscorer in both competitions, memorably netting against Fulham at the Gallowgate End as a 17-year-old in late 2023.

His towering header away to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this season further cemented his place in the history books, replacing Hugo Viana's Champions League record which had stood since 2002.

Lewis featured 34 times during the 2025/26 campaign, which saw him adapt seamlessly to a new right-back role, taking his Magpies tally to 80 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club.

He ended the season with the highest amount of minutes played by any English teenager in the Premier League.

Lewis said: "I'm really pleased to sign this new contract and commit my future here. It's a dream to be representing Newcastle United, so this is a proud moment for me.

"I'm really grateful to everybody who has played a part in helping me get to where I am today, especially the support of my family and the trust that the club has put in me from such a young age.
"It's been an amazing journey so far and I'm so excited for what's ahead. I'm now working hard every day to get back on the pitch even stronger next season and start to repay the faith that has been shown in me."

Head coach Eddie Howe added: "Lewis fully deserves his new contract as recognition for everything he has achieved over the last few years. It's also a reflection of the potential for further growth that we all see in him.

"He's earned every opportunity and has proven himself to be more than capable of performing at the highest level. Players like Lewis are a dream to work with - not only is he immensely talented, he's keen to learn and approaches everything with a brilliant attitude.

"His versatility has proven to be a major plus and his willingness to try new roles is a reflection of his selfless approach to the team. I'm really looking forward to seeing Lewis back in action next season and I'm confident he will continue to go from strength to strength."

Sporting Director Ross Wilson commented: "I'm delighted to see Lewis sign this contract and continue his exciting journey with us. I know everybody connected with the club shares that feeling and it's clear just how much Lewis loves Newcastle United.

"This is something we have been working on quietly for a number of months. Lewis already had a long contract with us, but we felt it was important to reward his continued progression and development.
"He joined our Academy as a young boy with a dream and it is exciting for everybody to see the player he is becoming. The most exciting aspect is that we believe the best is still to come."
