TRC

Why is Ronaldo there? He just a Hatem fan boy like us?

Didn't the press say he had an attitude problem before he signed with us? Seems like a really likable guy to me.

He'll love watching long balls fly over his head.

We should just stop predicting scores and just who will be injured. Lascelles and Almiron this time.

I still don't get why Ashley came out and said Rafa thought Joelinton was only a 20m striker. Just a bizarre statement from a cautious businessman.

What a random player to be linked with. Why do we keep getting linked with strikers? We need someone who can actually control a midfield.

I'd like to see Joelinton in a different role, just not fair on the lad to expect him to play like Carroll. Not sure Bruce will though.

Wasn't he really good in the West Ham win that kept us up? Love Willems like

Surprised at the lack of 5-1 vs Sunderlands

It's ridiculous Bruce hasn't considered just swapping wings once.

Apparently he won player of the month for us in Jan 2014

i love watching him, is there anyone else in the league at the moment who can ghost past people through the middle of the pitch like he does? that's what has surprised me the most about him, assumed he was going to be a straight up winger but what's setting him aside is that defenders can't send him inside as he's just tearing through them when they do it as easily as he can out wide as others have said considering he's playing under steve fucking bruce and team that clearly has no attacking plan he's doing remarkably well imo He makes me forget we have Steve Bruce. I don't think I'd even bother watching games this season if we didn't have him and Schar

This thread should just be a 27 page wank fest. The man is class.

Toronto is taking over the world.

Are we just trying to repeat the January 2013 transfer window?

It's all relative, 50k a week isn't much for a 40m striker.

How is it a much worse team? Much worse system yes, but not team IMO.

Think Jonas was a much cleverer player, he knew exactly how to win a free kick when we needed it.

50k a week is nothing these days in the PL. Pretty sure when we signed Duncan Ferguson over 20 years ago he was on 40k.

What's going on with Zinchenko, time to drop him?

He's already number 3 on my all time NUFC players list.

Think he's been doing a tonne of charity work since he got to Newcastle.

A Kaka post that aged well

I've had it for a while for the US content and it really is excellent. Not sure Chris Waugh is up to the standard of writer I expect from the Athletic, but let's see what he can do when not being edited by Ryder.

Enjoying his twitter interactions. I'm on board
