00:00 Hello, it's Joe Buck here with all the latest Newcastle United transfer news for the Shields
00:05 Gazette. Now in terms of outgoings at the club, we've recently seen Karl Darlow linked
00:11 with the move away from Newcastle and you know, reports very recently have suggested
00:15 that Ellen Rose will be his destination next year. Now Darlow spent the second half of
00:20 last season on loan at Hull City, impressed by all accounts, you know, won that play of
00:24 the month for March and you know, put in a very, very good set of performances, you know,
00:30 in a difficult time for him obviously, seeing his position as in Newcastle's number one
00:34 slip behind Martin De Bravka and then again when Nick Pope joined the club. So he's probably
00:38 the third or fourth choice keeper at the end of last season and that will be the same,
00:42 you know, this year if he stayed at the club. But it's clear that, you know, he was going
00:45 to get moved on and Bournemouth were interested but it appears that Leeds are the ones who
00:49 are, you know, in advance talks of signing him. I think it's a good move for all involved.
00:52 Leeds obviously got Elan Mellier in goal and he, you know, is a very young keeper, he's
00:57 got a bright future in the game, a lot to learn. I think Darlow will come in and act
01:00 as great competition and maybe even their starting keeper, you know, we saw how well
01:03 he was, how well he played in the Championship for Newcastle during that season. So I think
01:07 it's a good move for him. There was talk about Bournemouth being interested in Darlow and
01:12 there was reports where they, you know, vitality seeded on Ellen Rose but Bournemouth have
01:17 recently agreed a deal for Andre Radu from Inter Milan so that's, you know, that's sped
01:22 up Darlow's move to Leeds rather than Bournemouth. You know, they've clearly got other options
01:28 there but as I said, for Darlow it would be a shame to see him leave, you know, he's been
01:30 a very good servant for the club since joining initially in 2014 and then again in 2015,
01:36 you know. Plenty of memories, plenty of, you know, very good saves he's made, everyone
01:39 remembers that double penalty save against Nottingham Forest's old team. But the club,
01:44 like St Maximin, the deal finalist at St Maximin, they've got to move on, they've got to sell
01:46 players and Darlow seems like someone who, you know, the club can move on this summer
01:51 now, they'll get him off his wage books and so unfortunately he won't play a part in Newcastle
01:55 next season but, you know, he should be remembered for what an excellent servant he's been and
02:00 I think a lot of fans are wishing, you know, all the best of luck and, you know, I'm sure
02:04 Darlow won't be the only player leaving Newcastle United this summer and of course the best
02:08 way to stay up to date with all the latest Newcastle United transfer news and updates
02:12 is with the Shield cassette.
