Saying he's right because we got relegated is mental though.

Wasn't it more Jill saying Shearer was coming to the end of his career? I know he said yes but I'm sure he's aware 29 year old Shearer wasn't near retirement.

He's not really said anything offensive there but we've had a few that struggled and had bit of sour grapes after leaving. But ultimately we were always proved right in the fact they never went on to do anything better post nufc? Souness would slags us off all the time but didn't manage again after us did he? Gulitt managed Feynoord and La Galaxy but was crap at both. Pardew faded into obscurity after failing at palace and west brom. Dalgleish had one more poor stint at Liverpool. Etc etc. People in the media have put the boot in over the years but when old managers like to point the finger at Newcastle being the problem for their failure, the easy response is, what did these guys do after leaving?

It does, but Brentford have another one-year option, so it’s effectively two years.

Does Mbuemo's contract run out next year? I think he's great value at £60m. The question is how much of our budget does that take up.

Mbeumo plus some Mitchell gems would do nicely

Seems we're quite content for the Huijsen, Guehi, Mbuemo and Cunha to be public knowledge. Give they'll all be subject to high prices and significant competition, I'm not convinced.

Some of his stuff was incoherent and not to do with language. He was asked several times what his problem was with Shearer and couldn't answer. Just some random comparison to Mark Hughes who was 5 years older.

That’s not really relevant tbf the point is it was around 10 years after he left that we got relegated. That doesn’t make him right or prove his point

Not keen on blue trim. Prefer when it's purely black and white personally.

Oooo..looks a lot better with the descriptions you have mentioned. What colour is the adidas logo? and what about the away and 3rd kits? You did get to see them right? @Kid Icarusgive us one good last shot at the home kit, please.

I don’t think there are many to clubs who would prioritise him/be able to get him. Arsenal and Liverpool have players in that position. City a non starter, I don’t think Chelsea and Spurs will be able to pay the money

Correct for the away game. According to Sky no Big Joe for the home game.

I have read recently that the money ‘saved’ from parachute payments is split between the PL clubs, but not sure if accurate

This is what I was thinking as well. I would even consider it for home fixtures against potential banana skins like Chelsea.

Says a lot about where his mind was at here when he can't remember managing Duncan Ferguson given it was his most expensive signing here.

Hope so too, 18 goals mostly from the wing is absolutely elite.

That was Bruno, i think.

Thats a beauty

It took almost 2 1/2 years after gullit left to get CL.

Shame the old man only went on to bag another 120 goals after gullit left. Yes his mobility had went after his injuries but Robson worked on that straight away by buying Bellamy to do his running.

Hope these links to Mbeumo are right and I hope we show the ambition to go for it. Absolutely ideal for us and takes us towards a title battle imo

Looks infinitely better than the tartan abominations we had before.
