Didnt he go out on loan?

So they will run with Zouma and Thiago Silva at cb?

The 5th place season he and Tiote regularly controlled games over a 3 man midfield In the latter half of that season yeah. A lot of the 5th season we had really jammy wins where we barely deserved it until Cisse came in.

Who is this Fabrizio Romano? Seems to be breaking every deal at this point. Feels like he's the Woj of football.

I feel he didnt control a midfield as much as he should have. Whether thats on him or Pardew is another thing though.

Werner has the potential to bang in 25+ this season. I'm not sure what to do about Ziyech and Havertz or how Chelsea are going to line up.

It looks decent but I can see Bruce not playing that line up for some odd reason.

I bet he turns out to be fucking class if he doesnt sign.

I'd rather he stayed tbh.

Better goal to game ratio as Joey and is a CM

Just sign Deeney on a free and loan the lad out.

It says he has ambition, so he obviously didn't want to come.

It's a really disappointing pod, I've been a subscriber to the Athletic since the launch and Pod on the Tyne is nowhere near the quality of others. It feels like a bit of a laugh for Caulkin and he doesn't take it too seriously and is more like a fan site pod rather than a premium subscription pod.

We really should loan Joelinton out to the Portuguese league or something, try and build that value up.

Joelinton 2 goals in 38 league games. Florian Lejeune 2 goals in 6 league games. What a sad stat

Joelinton is actually far too good for us, funnily enough. We are an archaic club stuck in the dark ages. We shouldn't bring such players to the club. He's too fancy a toy for the manager. Get a robust lump that can give and take lumps and get him up top to barge about and battle for direct balls. Forget all this fancy dan tactical stuff. Needs to get stuck in. I get your point, but Joelinton is just shite unfortunately.

Ok so Bournemouth havent even received our low ball bid yet? This one ain't happening folks.

He had a very good season.

Rather play with Ronaldo than Joelinton? Pathetic

Cool, so welcome to the club Tom.

Messi has told Barca he wants to leave apparently. I wouldn't mind him here.

I'd be happy with those three signings, I very much doubt we get any of them though.

So he is saying someone tried to drug his sister and needed to take her to hospital?
