Hello and welcome to the Newcastle United live blog for Monday, January 22.
It's a huge week for the Magpies on the transfer front with time ticking away before next week's deadline.
Manager Rafa Benitez is ready to add to his squad, but faces a key period if United are to get the players he wants.
Mike Ashley walked away from takeover talks with Amanda Staveley and PCP Capital Partners after talks proved to be 'exhaustive'.
We'll have the latest on the takeover and also all of the January transfer rumours that are starting to stack up. Meanwhile, on the pitch, we will have all of the fallout from Newcastle's 3-1 defeat to Man City on Saturday.
