Enjoyed that, the guy talks a lot of sense. The part where he says this is a signing that 'feels like this is the one' and 'signing that will start the wheels turning' gets me particularly erect

That'll do for me bonny lad. Julien Laurens is the boy on Euro Leagues podcast so if he says its done then its done Edit - Just seen Lyon's statement literally 2 minutes later FFS

Dont think he'd get in Chelsea's centre midfield with Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic there. Still incredible praise

This could be a monumental signing as its a big enough name along with Trippier to maybe attract a couple more big signings before Monday night. Get a centre back (Carlos? Burn?), maybe another midfielder (Lingard?) and a striker (Zapata?) and that looks outstanding Even some Mackems are saying he's a quality signing. Although the few bitter ones are saying he must be shite as Fred starts for Brazil infront of him and one said the last big thing from France was Ndombele and hes crap.

Football Insider 247 having an absolute blinder this morning if this comes true. Would people be happy with Dan Burn?

Those who doubted FootballInsider247 - Shame on you! Guy was legit the first to break it As for the signing itself, I'm buzzing about this. If we can get Carlos and Zapata we genuinely have a mint starting 11

Wasn't sure but after watching that video Looks like he can thread a great through ball and has a lot of confidence running with the ball, decent tackler also. Youtube tend to make players look class I know but he definitely looks the real deal

Still just the one source or has any of the British journo's reported it yet? Not seen much of him but glad we're looking at centre midfield

Nat Phillips and James Tarkovski would be extremely disappointing. If anyone listens to 606 phone in on Saturday and Sunday with Sutton and Savage there's a Burnley fan who always rings up and he constantly moans how bad Tarkovski is. Used the old 'Id drive him there myself' when they mentioned him coming to us. Based on him alone I think he'd be a very poor signing

A new left back mentioned here. Must admit haven't watched Sassulo play at all so cant comment. Says Bakker isnt convinced by NUFC

Can anyone summarise what happened with the story linked a few pages back about some lad finding a phone number from Sophie. I got to page 6 then kept saying errror, going really slow and with 69 pages to read I gave up just as it was getting good. Did anyone meet her?

Would rather try and get Botman ilf we're paying £45m plus on a centre back. Surely Lille would crack for that price and we'd have a defender for next 10 years

Could've had 3 penalties at Arsenal. Particularly Schar being pulled back off a corner Leicester won a penalty despite Maddison falling down before he was touched. Brighton got iffy penalty against Clark although that was a 50/50

God a bad feeling Burnley will sneak a 1-0 win here like

Yes you're correct. I wasnt sure so went back to transfer thread 1 on January 9th and it was Edwards and only him who was running with the Chris Wood story so guess he deserves credit for that. Saying he is 'Working on a big story' and just writing an opinion piece the next morning isn't what fans would've been expecting but guess it might have got him some clicks. He's not a bad journo when he's not having meltdowns on twitter and arguing/winding up toon fans.

Is that the big story he was working on? At least once a week tells us he is having a a glass of wine. Cheers Luke. Now could you maybe lget an exclusive once in a while. Always seems to be Hope or Ornstein never him

He just loves being the voice for them. The sad bastard always posts the shite he spouts on twitter onto RTG minutes later so all his mates can like it and pat him on the back. Just an attention seeking arsehole who hates Newcastle so much and has found something to leech onto with regards to human rights. Never a peep regarding human rights before PIF started to show an interest

Dubravka - 8 (looked solid, collected all the crosses) Trippier - 7 (solid) Schar - 9 (thought he was magnificent, so many interceptions) Lascelles - 8 (thought he was playing well until he got injured) Sub Clark - 6 (didnt fuck up) Dummett 5 - Leeds got in behind him so many times. Sub Manquillo 8 - Dont get the hate for him. Always looks decent for us and gets forward. Won free kick which got our goal Shelvey 8 - Looked our most likeliest scorer all match Willock 8 - thought he was poor first half but made up for it with great 2nd half Fraser 7 - cant fault effort, especially at the end Joe - 7 (looked good again but off injured early on so cant mark higher) Sub Longstaff 7 - was involved a lot. Best he's been for a while ASM - 7.5 (Can understand the annoyance when he goes alone but he also created all our chances from open play. Did set up Willock and Wood and Should've had a pen Wood 5 - Early days but god he looks poor. Very slow and 2nd touch was always a tackle. I'll still give him time though

2 quality midfielders and a centre back and we'll look so much better. If we had a good attacking midfielder today we'd be ahead I reckon

If we could get in 2 decent midfielders it would make a hell of a difference. Willock is so fucking slow, Fraser offers nowt either

Not that many more points on the board. Only 3 ahead of Norwich although 2 games in hand. Massive chance foe for us to get a win when we play them week on Tuesday

Honestly think Ranieri should have refused. Shithousery at its finest but could have got it postponed. And its 2-0 Norwich. Goodbye Claudio

Hope Watford and Ranieri refuse. Be pure ructions on

What if they cannit get it going again. Do they play with 50% light, abandon the match and replay later or make Watford forfeit and give Norwich a 3-0 win
