Look up.

He's certainly worth a lot more than four pounds and fifty pence.

Nobody

Still not confirmed by NUFC.

You're an idiot.

Dominic Cork (the ex cricketer) doing the reporting from Stoke's training ground just reading out some notes.

That's five development squad players out on loan now. Things a bit different now emergency loans are banned in the football league.

Just turned SSN on, fucking hell Stuart Pearce looks rough. He's never been a looker but looks like they just pulled a tramp off the street and put him in a suit.

Been rubbished already.

Seydou Doumbia on loan.

Very overhyped as he is local. We have seen how good our youth players and signings have been over the last 5 years or so. We are aiming to be a top half premiership team again soon. We need better than Adam Armstrong for that He's 19 years old and just off the back of scoring 20 league goals in League 1. FFS. He still has plenty of time to develop and already shown more than the likes of Adam Campbell. By no means a guarantee that he will make it here but he's not really over-hyped by many on here, he's well thought of because he's done the business so far when given the chance. Now is the chance for him to show that again at the next level up.

The biggest difference is we now have (in the main) players that want to be here and want to play for Newcastle United and buy into the managers methods.

Sorry but that's just horeshit, prefer him to Perez? And as for Murphy, well they are two entirely different players. Murphy is here to be back up for Mitrovic and another big lad - nothing like Armstrong. This moves makes sense, his game time will be limited as he will rightfully be behind Gayle and Perez. He did well last season in League 1 and this will be a good test to see if he can bang them in at the next level. Ayoze said he was ready to lead the line while he looked anything but, in fact he was horeshit, hence prefer Armstrong to Perez. Perez will be just fine once everything has settled down but he shouldn't be leading the line, it's not his game and it isn't Armstrong's either, not Gayle's really. That what Mitrovic will do, with Murphy as his back up. With Gayle and Perez in front of him it makes total sense for Armstrong to head out on loan. You also can't write off Perez after a couple of games - he did a job for us on Saturday but wasn't great - playing a role he should never have to play.

He's also responsible for the greatest headed clearance from a corner of all time.

Agree with that, his ambition seems to outstrip his actual ability though. He thinks Real Madrid, reality is Real Vallecano-ish. I feel like I really don't have a handle on how good he is tbh. How would you guys describe him? Like a low-rent Yaya Toure? He dribbles the ball more than Yaya, not really sure how to describe him. Powerful, good dribbler, decent header (attacking only). Passing meh, brains (zero), thinks he's top notch. Talented, but will never be a top player imo. A comparative player would actually be Diame imo. Yeh Diame who scores more goals and is a fraction of his asking price. A good attacking header? Don't think he has scored a header for us! Scored the header to keep us up under Charver.

He's talking about Dummett.

Decent signing for this level imo. Appears to be a bit of a cunt but if he does the business on the pitch I trust Rafa to manage him appropriately.

If he was fully fit he'd come in for Gouffran.

Will try and get along to this. So many things wrong with my body at the moment not sure I would be able to turn out.

its amazing he's still playing top flight football Errm.

Speaks five languages, clever bloke.
