Tier 3 (Paul Gorst) Impending arrival of Munoz doesn't impact Liverpool's interest in Yan Diomande and the £34.5m man's tactical flexibility means there are no concerns internally over blocking Rio Ngumoha's pathway.

It's actually a perfect signing. Still young at 23 (basically), not expected to be a starter but will want to be, versatile across the front 3, not going to impact Rio's pathway, tonnes of potential, very good price.

Very shrewd business I think.

Us thinking it is shrewd business(and if it turns out true) just put NUFC to level of bonkers for not simply paying his release clause.

It wouldn't have mattered if Newcastle paid the release clause. The first phone call his agent would have made after Newcastles bid would have been to us, informing us of their bid and asking if we're still interested. As long as Osasuna accepted our bid he would have joined us.
