"Seems a bit unfair to me. potentially Neves can now join Newcastle in January................""on loan"" 13 Clubs voted in Favour, 7 against. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67490620 The seven clubs that blocked ban on signing loan players from partner teams were (according to sources) Newcastle, Sheff Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Everton, Wolves, Forest. Some other clubs angry that Saudi-owned Sheff Utd joined the opposition bloc."

The Saudi takeover of the Geordies should never have gone through. How the premier league said it wasn't the state buying them is absolutely ludicrous. And given their human rights abuses it makes it even worse .

God damn Rosie the dog criminal mastermind....

A detailed report from The Times claims ‘The FA has said it is prepared to review evidence of potentially serious breaches of agent rules in a transfer involving Tottenham, Portsmouth and Defoe’.

"And just look at the (potential) talent available to Newcastle in January............... Other high-profile former Premier League players currently at PIF-owned clubs include Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr), Roberto Firmino (Al-Ahli), Sadio Mane (Al-Nassr) and Riyad Mahrez (Al-Ahli). But it is a potential January move for 26-year-old Neves - who joined Al-Hilal for £47m in June - which could help the Magpies fill the midfield gap created by Sandro Tonali's 10-month ban for breaching betting rules."
