You’d suspect if we do sign him the benefit is there is more chance of retaining him for a decade. Other GK’s mentioned probably more at risk to be tempted away/back home etc. Put this lad behind a good back 4/5 and he’ll do a great job IMO. Very good fit all round.

Aye I know mate I also know that you know that I know that you know.

The 'get rid of it!' quota will be met by mid August man.

Once he does get in ahead of Pope we can expect medical emergencies in the East Stand to drop by at least 50%.

I think we'd all love to see him try.

Is it also maybe not a case of the Occam’s razor answer to this being that the budget isn’t as restricted as reported?

I did, it wasn't a serious reply.

Juicy extra dimensions to our balls out from the back!

Nearly wrote the same 😂

If he can get Newcastle to 5th he could win the treble with us I reckon.

Eddie will bed him in over the next 42-48 months

Most important thing for me, sounds like a signing that really wants to be here judging by comments last week. Exciting one!

Straight in ahead of pope?

Looking forward to quick balls to the fullbacks.

This excites me

Mildly surprised it's finally happening. I'll expect elanga, guehi and tranquillo barnetta to follow.

WELCOME TO NEWCASTLE JAMES TRAFFORD

Even a mid price flop would have an impact.

GET THE THREAD STARTED Oh wait

This.

Reckon Trafford will be a fantastic signing.

We're not really competing with those clubs in the transfer market. Not even close, really. Unlike them, an expensive flop would be a major set back for us - both financially and on the pitch. We're in very narrow performance window where we need top 4 capable squad players, but on a top 7 budget. We need to buy extremely carefully.

Think it will be same as usual, buying long term targets regardless of the position. Trafford has been on the radar for a year, if we can get the deal done, we'll just do it rather than buy someone we aren't convinced on.

Im sure you got the point.

Hope he's your next manager.
