Menace

ASM and Hatem hadn't just received a £400k a week contract and weren't 32. I understand people are excited with the names being linked but imagine your captain being frozen out by your club and not being let to train, what kind of example would that set really? Auba isn't the same player he was a year or 2 ago. There's far better choices in the transfer market. We don't necessarily have to pick the easiest one every time now.

I can count on one hand the good games he's had since signing his new contract at Arsenal.

He was under Bruce, no one knows now. Got plenty wrong in the past though, Henry Mauriss, PIF walking away and not being interested etc

I find it odd that there is Newcastle supporters that post frequently on there to be honest - for what gain?

I suspect most top tier clubs won't touch him because of Wanda. That whole saga is embarrassing tbh.

See Icardi going Juve for 35m euros. Mental. Also why are you on a football discussion forum if you're "on board with everything the consortium/Howe do" Surely the main idea of football is opinion and debate? Not having a dig by the way, just confused

Phillips is out until March, Leeds aren't getting out of it this year. Bielsa really has no plan b and they have struggled with injuries and no Bamford. A draw tomorrow is the best result we could aim for. The bottom 4-5 being as close to each other as possible is good news for us.

He's been absolutely minging all season. Funny how the sky pundits don't seem to mention that

On top of that he's barely played football in the last year or so For 6 months it's fine, I wouldn't want him on a full time contract however.

Couldn't give a fuck about the price, get it done. Full backs have been our weakness for years now. Matt Ritchie and Krafth starting as a Premiership pairing is fucking embarrassing. If the rumours are true and we end up signing him and Digne that's potentially 12 points saved already, the difference between ending lower table and top 10

What a shit game of football

What's funny? I'm confused

Absolutely. But it's not someone you want for the future, for 6 months yes

His legs have gone

He even scored 17 goals in that crusty West Brom team basically playing as a right winger

That was a horrific post tbf. £300M Imagine a player tanking at Man U and still being sold for £80m, then later being sold for profit. They should just hire some people off here in future for their transfers

We need 2 midfielders. Shelvey for the rest of the second half of the season doesn't fill me with confidence. Willock has been absolutely pony. Longstaff/Hendrick aren't good enough.

The crazy thing is there is plenty of good options with an expiring contract - so we really don't have to spend £100M to see an instant improvement. Plenty of clubs will want to cash in on players who will go for free in the summer - plenty are good enough for us.

The original story came from a shitty paper in Italy and has been recycled constantly. There's nothing to it.

Best we've played all season.

Another thumping. 0-3.

Every game gets streamed now days

Trippier would be one of our best players. We don't have to penny pinch anymore, if we even get 2-3 years out of him and it enables us to move to the next level, then it's a job well done.

Christ I forgot he played for us you know

It's incredible how much has gone against us, and even with 1 win and it being December, it's not completely out of sight yet. The bottom 4 in the prem is absolutely horrific this year mind
