Lack of reliable snatch squads, no good last minute flight offers...

This gives some reasons why it may be a Rafa decision. Trust over his hamstring issues, and his 'levels'. etc. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/what-s-going-on-with-dwight-gayle-his-unease-at-newcastle-explained-1-8729482

Wait, have the European wide roaming charges been dropped yet? Bit worried we won't be able to afford to contact him to sanction all these deals if the tariffs are still in play.

Borderline hope he doesn't tbh. Absolute circus. Hope he does. Absolute circus otherwise.

We weren't linked with Manpillow or Marino either much to be fair. Haven't a great deal of confidence we'll be surprised by some decent last minute signing, but equally not fussed about the lack of rumours.

Little over a day to go until the window drops and locks, loads of people looking at the forum, but the Rumours thread is a goddamned ghost town.

Says you. Come on Charnerz, let's see you shove that assessment right back down Stiflers pipes.

I don't share your certainty here. I was surprised to read it, but even under Ashley, statistically speaking the amount of players we have replaced still outweighs the amount of players that we haven't replaced. The hurt will never fade, but the odds are with us. Stay strong brother.

yeah, lad i know spoke to him. said he is 'clearly pissed off with the market and the club'. Gone before the plane touches down.

Lee f***ing Ryder ladies and gentlemen. That to me reads "I know shit so I'll be noncommittal and then I can claim to be right whatever happens down the road". He is ITK, right on the inside track!.. of knowing absolutely nothing.

Lee fucking Ryder ladies and gentlemen.

Silly sausage. Stick him in the dunces corner with Shelves 'til he can concentrate on not being such a fucking idiot.

Yeah, thanks for that Grant. Thanks Grants... Thants.

As if we'd go into the season with two unreliable strikers... ...would we? Surely not, shut your face, that can't happen... Can it? No. Maybe? Oh God.

Be pretty exciting if we do. In my opinion we should/could actively try and upgrade him as I just don't rate him that highly, and hopefully that's what we're doing. Be staggered if Rafa actually pulled it off mind. While an upgrade would certainly be decent, we shouldn’t be letting our only decent striker go, full stop. A club our size shouldn’t have only one first team striker in the squad. Mitro hasn’t proved that he can be the teams main goal scorer when called upon. If we go into the season with Gayle, Mitro, and Joselu I'd be worried. If we go into the season with Gayle, Mitro, and Joselu, and bring in some chancer on loan, or an old journeyman as back-up, and I'd be worried. Go into the season with Mitro, Joselu, and a significant upgrade on Gayle, then considering we only seem to play one up top, that'd do for me.

My God, the fat man is trying to offload Marino!

As if any club would agree to that.

Must be a stipulation in his contract. Beardsley as caretaker?

Since when was that bald twat a good judge of playing talent. You know nothing of his skills Bontempi (if that is your real name).

That other bit.

This is absolutely gangster. I fucking love this man. For all those years of Pardew and McClaren, of JFK and Carver, we finally have a man in there with a spine, self-respect, and on the fans' side. 2min 10 secs in. https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/latest-videos/benitez-pre-huddersfield-a-media-briefing-17-18 Again, the quote seems much milder in context.

It was. It all was.
