Here is the Newcastle United news, views and opinions for Thursday, June 22.

There are plenty of transfer rumours as usual this morning - we'll look at some of the big names being linked with a move away from St James' Park, and some who could be heading to Tyneside.

Our understanding is that Lazio are the latest team to show interest in Magpies flop Florian Thauvin - with Marseille also interested in welcoming him back. They also signed Remy Cabella earlier this week.

There are other players linked with exits too, including midfielder Cheick Tiote who almost left the club in January.

We've got all the latest news and views with Chronicle chief sports writer Lee Ryder, NUFC writer Chris Waugh, NUFC editor Mark Douglas and Andrew Fowler.
