Our Kryptonite does certainly seem to be any teams between 8th and 12th.

Vlahovic is absolutely built for the premier. Juve are just ran horrendously. I'm surprised no one has took a punt considering the prices of some strikers

The first dive was ridiculous and it probably contributed to him not getting a call in the second half. I don't mind him deploying dark arts to get something if it's warranted.

Just the Italian press thirsting for Tonali and using Vlahovic as bait, thinking we’re not worthy of such a player and that “he’s Italian so must hate Newcastle and dream of returning home asap because he was forced here against his will”. They’re like the ex who thinks you still want them back and you never actually even think about them. Their world is one where Botman and Sandro wouldn't even spit on us but in reality Sandy’s agent said he imagines Sandro’s future being “far away from Serie A” and Botman wanting to sign a new deal here.

What I have learned from this thread: The less they can involve fans in the creation of this new crest, the better.

An explainer of our potential riches https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/13364260/champions-league-prize-money-how-much-premier-league-clubs-could-earn-from-revamped-competition

Vlahovic is on ridiculous money at Juve, so I think we all know where that one can be filed…

It's mindblowing to me that people think we should sign a CM over a GK! Pope can go down as a legend for the club for what he's done, but I guarantee no top 6 clubs in the Premier League would want to take him, you can probably go as far as to say top 10, maybe even top 15. Some people massively underestimate the power of an elite GK, it's essential we upgrade our GK in the Summer.

Delap would be a great signing and seems like a great addition to the dressing room, where thats not known with Sesko. Its Sesko at 60mil that would get me interested, if he played that well in the prem he's a 120mil player.

Dusan would be an opportunistic move at low transfer cost (high wages) with a clear intention IMO that he will be sold in 12 months.

He’s still basically ‘cheif scout’. Mitchell being around probably takes away the need to use his name to fill column inches though.

Trafford is a no brainer for me. Should have got him last summer but IMO we can't afford to miss out on him. Pope is fine and maybe he could go another season as first choice but I think we'd hugely regret not getting Trafford while we can. He'll be the best keeper in the Premier League in two/three years time.

Does anyone know what's happened to Nickson? He was deeply involved before Mitchell came, rarely hear of him now days

Sweet little pass to Bruno too. Drags the ball back and then plays it with the outside of his foot, defender was not ready for that shit from Burny.

Personally, I'd rather have Delap than Sesko.

If I was being kind I’d call those amounts ‘optimistic’. If I was being less kind, I’d call them mental.

Ibra 2.0 3 years ago 😅If we're signing a pure striker for more money than Delap at 30mil, its gotta be Sesko, one of the few strikers in the game that can compete with Isak.

If Rice is still out we will have a better chance, he really is their Tonali and what makes them tick. Looking forward to see Tino against Saka!! Think he will take care of him nicely.

The two newcastle ones that spring to mind are the miggy one trying to get a pen last season launching himself in the air he was carded for as a bad example and the pen Gordon got when Phillips tried to clear the ball and got the player as a good example if he didn't react the way he did it may not have been reviewed at all.

Vlahovic to Arsenal that January a few years back was a tortuous saga, a sure illustration that mouse clicks can't make a transfer come true. Though clever of Vlahovic to skip the whole going to Arsenal stage of revealing himself to not be a very good striker. I'd say he has the game to do well in the PL and would be a good case of buying when the stock is low but Juve at that time were fairly spendthrift so can only imagine he's on a big wedge which would rule him out. Feels like a Chelsea signing but then what signing doesn't

Two purples to ease out the current RW & RCB; Mbuemo & Guehi/Huijsen (=100M) Looks like Howe is set on Trafford from Burnley also. (30M) We need two or three up and coming youngsters to fill out the rest. (20M) Could well be a 150M outlay with perhaps 20-40M recovered in player sales... Sell Longstaff (12M), Willock (20M?), Targett (10M) & two goalies vlach and Ruds (10M)

And he's definitely in the category of not wanting to be second choice.

There's a list somewhere online of all the free agents available this summer. I hope Mitchell is perusing that and eyeing up some potential options. Surely there are one or two.

Yeah common sense should apply when the simulation is unclear. I just think blatant diving and rolling around happens all the time and has been condoned to the point it's now ingrained in the game.

Vlahovic is looking for a free transfer with humongous wages. I could see him ending up in Saudi.
