Menace

Isn't it mad Shearer cost £15M and now days that barely gets you an Osula. Football inflation is very real.

I like the lad but I find him incredibly frustrating to watch, I hope he learns to use his body a bit more next year.

Let him play until 38 like Thiago Silva

Was unlucky not to come away with the win - that formation worked well. Please more consistency in the league and all will be well

Chuffed to see us through, the day will come when we don't get cheated at Parc Des Princes

That's a horrible team

I could - no.

Sterling at Arsenal was sad to see. He could barely run. City bought him at the best time and sold him at the absolute top. Great business.

His Mrs signed for Leicester women so it makes sense for them

Just read Liverpool have one CB available for our game. No reason we can't get a result here or Anfield tbh

It's been 24 hours, has TCD told us how poor this signing has been yet?

He's literally 29 in a few months, do you not get bored of this shite?

If our youth are any good they wouldn't end up playing for Gateshead or Carlisle. That Australian tour told me all I needed to know about our youth.

Really?

Probably cause he's shite?

Honestly shocked 7/10 and 8/10 are the most chosen - unless this was voted in early September and people haven't changed their votes since.

One deal, which would have involved Yankuba Minteh moving the other way, was thwarted when Calvert-Lewin rejected the switch to Tyneside. Another swap involving Scott McTominay was mooted, but never got over the line.

Howe has always been involved in player recruitment, this is his team. Its no surprise we have the same players linked every summer despite upper management coming and going

The days of asking £70-£80M are long gone imo. Your average football fan still rates him but top clubs won't spend that on him - plus who does he even start for in the top 4?

That's what makes it even more frustrating. The gap was there to be closed, Isak leaving and the recruitment has really set us back. Incredible what a few weeks can do really.

His family are all Geordies aren't they? I doubt it'll be that easy

I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run at left wing because I've still yet to see what he does that other midfielders we have don't.

There's more to it than just "he doesn't fit the system" I honestly don't know what he does well in the last 2 months. Looks like a complete passenger. Hopefully just fatigue because for me it's worrying.
