I'd have to agree, mate.

Honestly think the first proper signing we make will generate such a feel good factor for the club Cant wait for the NUFC photo spam, the shit interviews we do, the Eddie Howe handshake at the training ground etc etc

Hopefully we are preparing a bid, somewhere, for someone, maybe...

Random fact and probably a Giggs, our former player Daniel Cordone was booed & jeered in Brazil playing in a Brazil v Argentina "legends" game, as they tried to pass him off as Caniggia and the fans sussed straight away. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37407467/the-toe-poke-ex-newcastle-flop-dresses-fake-caniggia-charity-match

Caniggia to Dundee as well. Didn't last long before Rangers snapped him up he was ridiculously too good for them.

You trust that with the demands of CL and PL?

Edwards is such a slaphead

I'm actually really excited by this transfer and would be gutted if it doesn't happen Would I want this signing to happen at the expense of a RW or CB? No but just because we sign a GK first doesn't mean that will be the case. I can make those judgements when the window closes Trafford means that is the GK sorted for the next decade easily and he has the profile that will help us improve. I don't want a keeper to be good with his feet so he can play daft little suicidal passes like some of the lesser sides foolishly do but I want us to have a keeper that can present himself as a passing option when any of our defenders have the ball. Currently we avoid passing to Pope as much as possible and on the occasions we do pass to him he mostly shanks it out I don't think Traffords all round game is as good as Pope's but he's still young and will get better at that as he gets older

I'm sure he said St James' is his favourite away ground, too. Which to me, means he's choking to sign for us with Scalvini

Bet you log back in and check within the hour

Clubs dont make offers if the player categorically has said no. Personal terms might not be agreed, but certainly Guehi didnt say no to us.

Same here, literally find it boring now. Golf course until end of July sounds more like it

"Could advance" "one to watch" "still keen" "interest remains" Yeah this is boring now. Journos just rehashing nonsense I'll mentally check out until the season starts

On the other hand, how many risky signings can we afford? What if a couple of them don't hit?

I think Gordon or Barnes might be sold, more likely Gordon

Hmm, kind of, I was assuming an upgrade on Willock because IMO he offers very, very little now. We still wouldn't have a replacement for the main 3 that is any quality, except Miley who is still very young. I think Pedro would play instead of a midfielder rather than as a midfielder. So in a game where we wanted a midfield 3 he wouldn't play there.

You nailed it.

This is where the hesitation and frustration around Elanga and to a lesser extent JP and Guehi comes from. For the fees mentioned we would want higher ceiling players.

Waffle waffle waffle from Luke again.

Agree with whoever said we need to take calculated risks on potential world class players that other elite clubs are lot confident or ready to pull the trigger on. OR/AND pay a premium for those players. I think that’s what we’ve done with Tino, Hall, Isak and Tonali. That’s where I trust the counting teams judgment a lot.

Bruno Tonali Joelinton Willock Miley Pedro when needed and to maintain his game time… Think that will be enough as Miley got little game time nor Willock. Obviously Ederson would be nice

Also, Scalvini has never been mentioned by NE journos until today - why even pretend you know the info that we 'like' him, Luke.

wow. A paid journalist is hoping to 'reverse jinx' an action he is supposed to report to his followers. That full tweet could easily say: Don't know whats happening.
