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.

Glad we have another England international to complain about when he doesn't get selected.

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?

Man City really should have their approval rescinded in light of the PL's about turn with Newcastle. By all means the bin Zayeds can continue to own the club, just don't allow City to play in the Premier. If PIF try and mirror the city model, taking piracy out of the equation it would be very difficult for them to justify blocking it on ownership structure alone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they working on something like this now, or changing percentages. I think PIF have long forgotten about Newcastle.

That game against Huddersfield then fuck all

Not a chance we spend 30m this summer including wages or not.
