00:00 It's transfer deadline day and as much as we'd like to make a big song and dance about
00:05 it, in reality it's going to be very quiet for Newcastle United.
00:09 They've tried, they've looked at midfield additions, loan sign-ins and they'll probably
00:13 still look, though the reality is PSR, as much as people hate to hear it, has shackled
00:20 them this transfer window and it's going to be really quiet.
00:25 It will have one incoming, I say at least, but in reality it will probably be the only
00:31 one in Alfie Harrison joining from Manchester City.
00:34 18 years old, it was confirmed by Eddie Howe last week he would be joining the club.
00:39 It's not a first team addition but the reality of Newcastle's quiet transfer window is sign-ins
00:45 like that will get more attention because there's been no other this month.
00:49 There's been a lot of noise but in reality, in terms of what's actually transpired, very
00:54 little, one departure in Javier Manquio, as I say a lot of speculation, a lot of interest,
01:00 genuine interest from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier and Al-Shabaab for Miguel Almiron
01:06 but nothing's transpired in that regard.
01:08 Newcastle rejected the bid for Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron keen to stay at Newcastle
01:15 as opposed to joining the Saudi Pro League.
01:17 So yeah, those two players set to stay.
01:19 Wouldn't expect any first team departures as such this deadline day.
01:26 Isaac Hayden, that's what we're down to now, that's how quiet the window is.
01:31 Isaac Hayden, we're paying attention to him, not part of Eddie Howe's first team plans
01:35 but were called from his loan at standard liaise, likely to go out on loan again.
01:41 Eddie Howe confirmed that a couple of weeks ago but asked about it the other night if
01:45 there was any update and Eddie Howe said he wasn't sure.
01:48 So as we saw in the summer, Isaac Hayden did move after the UK deadline day, Belgian transfer
01:56 window open later.
01:58 So we might see that again, there's championship interest in him but yeah, like I say, that's
02:03 probably the extent of Newcastle's first team departures if you like, if you can even call
02:08 it a first team departure.
02:10 Potentially a couple of younger lads going out on loan too as we usually see in the closing
02:14 stages of the transfer window but yeah very quiet and Newcastle United.
