Newcastle United's recent signing of Harvey Barnes from Leicester City for a reported fee of £39 million has sparked debates among fans and experts about whether he is an upgrade on Allan Saint Maximin. In this edition of Alex Crook's Transfer Notebook, Crook shares his insights on the matter, providing analysis on the players and their potential impact on the Magpies.


Crook starts by praising Jordan Henderson's contribution to Liverpool, lauding him as a phenomenal captain who has been instrumental in the club's success. He dismisses the criticism surrounding Henderson's new contract, emphasizing the positive influence he brings to the team.

The discussion then shifts to Liverpool's transfer prospects, with Crook expressing excitement about potential midfield additions like Lavia and McAllister. He also sees Curtis Jones and the talented youngster Bet as players with promising futures for the club.

Addressing the transfer activity of relegated clubs, Crook expresses concern about Leeds United's approach, with several key players being loaned out. He predicts a title race between Southampton and Leicester City in the coming season.

The focus then turns to Newcastle United, specifically the signing of Harvey Barnes. Crook believes that Barnes is indeed an upgrade on Allan Saint Maximin, praising Eddie Howe's recruitment strategy and the improvement of players under his management.

Crook also discusses the scrutiny faced by Newcastle for trading players with Saudi-owned clubs, but he dismisses the criticism, stating that the Magpies are now a wealthy club and here to stay.


With the Premier League becoming increasingly competitive, Newcastle United's signings, including Harvey Barnes, could play a crucial role in their quest for success under Eddie Howe's guidance.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power.

The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
