Yeah, that's the Brighton model - not the Newcastle one where we outspend everyone in the division. Shame that last season's top spenders were Brighton, and we were 18th highest in the division. But you know, who needs facts.

“We don’t demand a team that wins… We demand a club that tries…” Funny how everyone gets it wrong 😆

He is a professional with no links to the club prior to his signing. The way the financing is structured some clubs will be able to pay much more in wages, often the clubs that have the best chance of winning things. Funny that,eh? Were I him I would probably be off for double the money, if he does I hope he goes abroad. I have enough faith in our manager that he will have ideas about a replacement and make the right choices, Isak wasn't a lucky guess. I certainly won't be devastated if he left, we are way off being a one trick pony.

I appreciated Humphreys sometimes he did that, but also there was a time on bt sport champions league coverage where he got confused about (AC) Milan and Inter and I was wondering how you do that on that stage...also I can't stand the concept of the high performance podcast....I get it, sometimes, but some of us don't want to wake up at 5am, some of us are quite content with mediocre peformance to be honest

Happy to read the rumours this morning! Would fit our style of buying elite talent when others won't take the risk

I do find the podcast annoying, but that reaction seemed a bit more than that

That podcast in general is pretty nauseating, Jake Humphreys basically just blows smoke up the arse of whoever is on there for an hour. It reminds me of those Inside The Actors Studio interviews from years ago that were kind of the same. That said, Humphreys used to stick up for us on BT Sport when you had idiots like Rio Ferdinand saying Rafa should spend his own money. There was probably him, Colin Murray and maybe one or two select others who weren't Newcastle fans but really seemed to understand and get the Ashley thing and put it forwards properly.

What’s he done to you?

Why?

Fuck Jake Humphrey. Sorry, Dan.

You're all forgetting we have Fab to come in if he does get injured.

Was very good in the Euros last summer.

I did, and the guy said something about him being bald. I was more interested in talking about Giorgi Kinkladze Couldn't be arsed to mention Zurab Khizanishvili

If the Saudis get involved they'll be on our side. Saudi hate Iran. The ones who go on about the ME know nowt about it.

Most likely we start negotiations with Trafford end of this week, so yeah a good chance something happens.

I’m away to the lakes. Last time I was there the takeover happened. Just sayin.

I hope you mentioned Ketsbaia.

Not sure we're after a carbon copy of Isak tbh, although I do like the idea of us signing a country like Georgia's best striker. Sat with a couple of Georgians in Crete watching the CL final and they were basically PSG fans because of Kvaratskhelia.

Georges Mikautadze. Striker at Lyon. Player who compares closest to Isak on FBRef: https://fbref.com/en/players/4788cb6b/Georges-Mikautadze

Smokescreen my moneys on Bastoni.

Tony Bloom-ball on a watered down version up at Hearts. Braga the most expensive signing since 2007. Club record is still John Robertson from Newcastle when they gave us the money back that we paid for him for around £800k.

Ask Mark Douglas.

Next week. Or the week after.

I’m sure this is the week we’ll step up our transfer activity. Or was that last week?
