Can someone explain to me how this is a done deal? As I understand it, the transfer window neither here nor in Europe is open, so this is really an agreement in principle, but what happens if / when he gets injured in the world cup? Could they then turn around and say "unlucky toon, can't sign him now, injured" ?
A mate down the pub told me that you can do the deal early but you just can't register it until the window opens. This, like most of what my mate down the pub says, could be total rubbish of course. 
k cancer.He announced it last night live on stage, he was remarkably light hearted about it all.
Bit of a shame seeing the headlines as even though there were reporters n the audience they were asked not to report on anything that wasn’t already out there. That’s the world we live in I suppose.
I was there in a meet and greet and he was on absolutely cracking form-it was more akin to a comedy gig than anything approaching a farewell tour-he looked well and had boundless energy-lovely seeing Pedro and Beefy turn up unannounced for a crack as well.
He was so appreciative of the Geordie support and for those with season tickets, he did say he thought it was a good idea to finally come back to st James’ park for the first home game next season. Just don’t build a statue of him (in his own words!).
A remarkable guy, legend isn’t always deserved but there’s no better word to describe him. You forget how early his amazing career started out if like me, you really only followed him from the mid eighties onwards. I must admit I never realised how small he was!

Didn't help that they got it wrong!
It's obviously one of his most famous moments but I think this sums up the man better;

There's not many men big enough to be so honest and appreciative in defeat.
