Your views on Anderson's departure and Gordon offerpublished at 12:59 1 July

We asked for your views on Newcastle's recent transfer activity, including selling Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and offering Anthony Gordon to Liverpool.
Here are some of your answers:
Mark: Anderson leaving for around £35m is good business. It's a shame to see academy prospects leave though. Gordon should not be allowed to leave, with Bruno and Isak they are our future, the team should be built around them.
Tony: I'd rather sell fringe players than suffer a points deduction for breach of FFP. Yes sympathy for Elliot Anderson a Whitley Bay lad, but his new financial package will more than make up for a sense of being surplus to requirements.
Darren: Selling Gordon would’ve been the sort of thing Ashley would’ve done. Us fans were under the impression that our new owners are here to compete, how can we do that if there’s talk of selling one of, if not our most outstanding players we’ve had in a while? The majority of our attacking play goes through Gordon. The club need to hold on to him.
John: Anderson is good business but letting Gordon go is utter madness. If the team doesn't have quality players like him then they will never attract quality players or win anything.
Jonny: The sale of Anderson, while disappointing, is understandable and something we need to just get used to. Nobody wanted to see Andy Carroll leave but when the price is right - it’s right. At least this time we know the money will be used well. As for Gordon, the idea of losing him is absolutely ludicrous. He is going to be a huge, huge star!

Newcastle United have signed Lewis Hall on a permanent contract following the defender's successful loan spell last season.
The left-back made 22 appearances for Eddie Howe's side throughout the 2023-24 campaign, scoring two goals.
After signing his long-term deal, the Chelsea academy graduate and boyhood Magpies supporter said: "When you pull on the black and white shirt, there is no feeling like it - and playing in front of the best supporters in the country is extra special for me, being a Toon fan.
"I gained a lot of experience last season and, with the squad we have, we will be looking to push on even further this season. I can't wait to get started."
Howe added: "Lewis was a very good addition to our squad last season - we have been delighted with his progress and his contribution to the team.
"As well as being a talented player, he has a great attitude towards the game and his own development. I'm excited for this next part of his journey."
Meanwhile, the Magpies have also signed 37-year-old goalkeeper John Ruddy following his contract expiration at Birmingham City.
Ruddy, who joins on a one-year deal, said: "It was an opportunity I couldn't turn down.
"It is a huge club which is only going one way and to be a part of that, however big or small, is going to be very pleasing and very exciting."
Howe added: "He has a huge amount of experience and adds a level of support and competition that we need."
The announcement follows the arrival of goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos from Nottingham Forest earlier on Monday.

The summer outgoings at Newcastle United have started as Elliot Anderson, who has been at the club since he was eight, signs for Nottingham Forest.
Newcastle's proposal of letting Anthony Gordon join Liverpool in a deal which included acquiring Jarell Quansah has been rejected by the Reds.
Do you think Anderson's departure is a good bit of business for the club and player? And are you open to last season's stand-out performer, Gordon, also moving on for the right price?

'I hope he loses in the game' - Gordon on facing Dubravkapublished at 10:07 29 June

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon is putting aside club friendships as England come up against Martin Dubravka's Slovakia on Sunday.
The Magpies team-mates could come face to face when their two nations meet in the last 16 of Euro 2024 in Germany.
Goalkeeper Dubravka has featured in all three of Slovakia's games so far, while Gordon had his first and only minutes in the Three Lions' draw with Slovenia.
Speaking at a pre-match news conference, the winger said: "Dubravka is a top guy. I've played with him for a year and a half now and he has been really important for Newcastle.
"A top guy and a top goalkeeper. I hope he loses in the game, but Slovakia are very organised and have threats on the counter, direct players and experienced players.
"It will be a very difficult game and we're preparing for that."
Dubravka, who is Newcastle's second-choice goalkeeper, became a key figure for the side last season when he had to step in for the injured Nick Pope - featuring 30 times.
Asked whether they spoke before heading off to the tournament about playing for their countries, Gordon said: "No, we didn't speak too much.
"We spoke about the tournament in general and excitement of it, but not too much about the individual teams."

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon says he knows he is a "nightmare" to play against.
The 23-year-old winger was brought on as a late substitute in England's final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday - his first taste of major tournament football.
Gordon was able to impact play when he came on, providing width and pace to the left side of the Three Lions' attack, but afterwards said he was "frustrated" with his lack of involvement so far in Germany.
"My strengths are I'm direct, I'm quick," he said.
"I'm a nightmare for anyone I play against. I'm positive when I get the ball. I'm always trying to make something happen.
"I'm not a very safe player, I'm always going for it and I'm always trying to put people on the back foot. With the other players we have, I think I add a different element to the team.
"If and when I'm called upon, I will be ready."
After lacklustre displays from Gareth Southgate's side so far, many fans and pundits have been calling for the former Everton player to start Sunday's last-16 tie against Slovakia.
"It brings a lot of unpredictably [how I play]. I win a lot of fouls and it can put teams on the back foot and that is just the way I play football," added Gordon.
"That works for me and that is the way I feel best playing. I know how hard I am to play against. I can feel it. I know people don't like playing against me so it has worked for me and I'm going to carry on doing it."

Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon on that accident during a bike ride with the England team:
"I was going down the hill and tried to take a picture for my family and before I knew it I was face first into the floor. It's only few cuts, it’s not anything painful.
"The front brake is on the left-hand side and I tried to press the right one to slow down - and it didn’t slow down, it came to a full stop. I’ve gone 10 feet in the air, chin first.
"I just carried on and finished the bike ride. When I got back to camp, I had to put stuff on it, which absolutely stung. To be fair, no-one saw me thankfully."

Newcastle United have confirmed they will travel to Championship side Hull City for a pre-season friendly.
The game against the Tigers, who finished seventh in the second tier last season, will take place on Saturday, 27 July at 14:00 BST.
Following that match, the Magpies will travel to Japan to participate in the J League International Series 2024 where they will take on Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama Marinos.
Those fixtures will take place on 31 July and 3 August respectively as Eddie Howe and his team continue their preparations for the new Premier League season.
Which Premier League teams have the most players still at Euro 2024?published at 13:29 28 June

Managers will always outwardly support their players on the international stage, but you can be sure one or two will privately be hoping for an early exit from Euro 2024 for a few of their star men.
International tournament summers disrupt pre-season for managers.
Various players from different nations return to their clubs at different times, sometimes with injuries, holidays get postponed and rescheduled. As a general rule, the best players are more likely to play for the best nations and therefore go further in international tournaments.
The Euro 2024 final will take place on 14 July. Over half of Premier League clubs already have a pre-season fixture scheduled within 10 days of that.
Of English clubs, unsurprisingly, Premier League champions Manchester City have comfortably the most players in the Euro 2024 knockouts. The best represented Premier League side at the start of the competition have a full line-up of 11 stars still in Germany.
They are followed by the rest of last season's top three - Arsenal and Liverpool - who have eight and seven respectively. Manchester United also have seven while Brentford - aided by their healthy Danish contingent - have six and Crystal Palace five.
Championship play-off winners Southampton's three representatives were all eliminated at the group stage, while fellow newly promoted side Ipswich have not seen their summer impacted at all by players at Euro 2024.
Of the Championship-winning Leicester squad, goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and defenders Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard remain in Germany - as does Turkey's Yunus Akgun, who spent last season on loan with the Foxes.

McNulty Q&A: Is it time for Mainoo, Palmer and Gordon to start?published at 12:29 28 June

Before England's Euro 2024 last-16 tie against Slovakia on Sunday, the BBC's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering readers' questions on all things Three Lions.
Mike asked: Do you see the previously benched players who made an impact in the last game (Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon) starting against Slovakia? Or do you feel their positive impact was as a result of the time they came on?
Phil answered: I can see at least two [of Mainoo, Palmer and Gordon], or possibly all three, starting against Slovakia. Mainoo gave the team some urgency against Slovenia, while Palmer looked confident and creative when he came on as a substitute in the second half. Gordon only a got a couple of minutes - but he has a chance because England look unbalanced on the left flank, which is his natural position.

Mamardashvili? Williams? Your ideal Euros signingspublished at 16:46 27 June

We asked for your views on which Euros player would be a good fit for Newcastle United.
Here are a few of your suggestions:
Jack: GiorgiMamardashvili, if we are seriously looking for a new long-term number one goalkeeper. He looks great value at the £35m Valencia apparently want, although I would imagine that will be higher given how well he's played in the Euros so far.
Ben: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. I just saw the guy make a mockery out of the Portugal national side. A statement wide forward would be a key signing for us, so why not?
Joe: If money were no object, and the player would come, my top pick would have to be Spain's Nico Williams to fill the right-wing slot.
Harry: Nico Williams from Spain. He is exactly the sort of creative winger we need on the opposite flank to Anthony Gordon. He has got magic feet to beat his man and he has got a quality pass and shot on either foot. Benjamin Sesko is also a good shout, especially with the injury issues we have had with our strikers. He is big, strong, quick and clinical.
Krish: If Guimaraes does end up being sold, Fabian Ruiz should be his replacement. He has been great for Spain and he is generally quite a good rounded player like Guimaraes.
David: Marc Guehi for me. I think he would be a great addition to our defence.

Anthony Gordon has been pictured this morning with a graze on his chin, nose and with some red marks on his hands and wrists.
We've been told that he fell off of a bike yesterday at the England camp.
We've seen pictures of the team riding bikes around their base on recovery days and it looks like Gordon has taken a fall.
All is good though and the Newcastle forward is in full training.
'So many imbalances about the team' - Rooneypublished at 08:00 27 June

Former England captain Wayne Rooney feels there are "so many imbalances" in the Three Lions team, with the left side being an "issue".
Given Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is still not fit, Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier has been deputising on that side of defence.
Without a naturally left-footed player in that position and Manchester City's Phil Foden being played on that side of midfield, England have struggled to generate width or create chances from the left.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, ex-striker Rooney said: "At the minute, it's Tripper or [Joe] Gomez, for me, who should play there. I was very surprised and really shocked that Ben Chilwell didn't get picked - just for the balance of having a left-footed player there.
"He plays at Chelsea and has played well for England in the past. He's a good left-back - he's been in tournaments as well - so I was really surprised he wasn't selected."
Gomez, who has yet to feature this tournament, regularly covered for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson when he was injured last season.
"So do you play Tripper or Gomez there? Do you bring Kyle Walker across?" Rooney continued. "Over the past few years, Kyle has been the best right-back in the world. Do you take that away from him and put him at left-back? There's so many imbalances about the team.
"Should Foden play on the left, on the right, or as a 10? There are so many questions."
