  1. Expect Burnley to go down. Won't be too dissapointed. Certainly would like to see us pick up Raphinha and Phillips though should Leeds drop. I don't see us losing to Burnley and I don't think Brentford will beat Leeds. They should both be a good watch. Ideally we win and Brentford win.

    Dan Burn

    If Dummett didn't come up through the club he wouldn't be getting kept on imo. Possibly longstaff too. I think Howe is very intentional with rebuilding the bridge with the community which will be pivotal in making our Academy the place to be not just in the North but for players from all over. Local players that know the area are key as a PR/ambassador exercise. BDB has been largely excellent though. Incredibly shrewd business. I rolled my eyes when I first saw the link lol.
  3. The gap in quality between this and Joey Bartons Bristol is astonishing. Would have thought it was the Gas going into the champ and Sunderland promoted to league one!
  4. There is no way he will say anything other than downplaying before the last game is out of the way. So wouldn't be surprised if it was a slip. Seems like someone we wanted in January and seems like a loan might be possible.
  5. Bit more subtle use of wearing the black and white shirt this time! Join us.. Despite all the teasing.. doesn't he have a match with Lyon on Saturday? Why is he in Newcastle half the week, friends Birthday or not? ?
  6. Not getting old watching this or the other videos on youtube. It's the most wholesome shit I have watching in good while. Genuinely feels like both the end of an era and the start of brand new one. Lots of emotions there for players on their way out, those overcome with the magnitude. It felt like we just won the league ffs. Incredible.
  7. Feel manquillo will be moved on with Krafth staying. Couldn't have predicted that happening! Always rated Manq as a great squad player but none of our managers seem to really rate him.
  8. Would make sense with kids moving schools etc. Eddie will have until the end of next season at least, probably the year after unless things went tits up and we were in bottom three in December! Think that would be make or break time for him to see if he was the man to take us all the way or we bring in a finisher like Conte at that point. Would be soul destroying if he was replaced now. Really want to see Eddie and his team continue to grow and succeed. Absolutely want him to be the guy to finally have us lift a trophy.
  9. Potentially means they play hardball on the fee more too. Granted some stalker has snapped them likely in a private space, it's still madness and misjudged to be wearing another teams top! Doubt it upsets the player that much but Lyon and their fans will be likely seething. Obviously they spilt something on Paquetas top and he had to borrow Brunos.
  10. Paqueta is getting into some shit for that lol Surely he is on his way! Would be mad to see him go somewhere else at this point lol
  11. If we are lucky we could potentially get another million knocked off if we also throw in Ritchie, Gayle, Clark and Hendrick.
  12. Jury's rigged by the top 6 lol

    Joelinton

    Honestly wouldn't swap him for anyone right now. One of the craziest turn arounds I have seen. Can't wait to see him continue to grow with this team.
  14. Can't believe the pace shown by Joe there. Thought it was Bruno. Amazing assist.
  15. Just tuned in and rewound to see the flags. Jaw dropping. One word UNITED And not the shit red kind.
  16. It would be a blow for Burnley but when it comes down to it, 17.5m, it's all about the brass. With his style of play, fans would soon be buzzing.

    Jeff Hendrick

    To be fair to him, he has always seemed like a sound lad. I think he will want a move to keep playing. We are going to have to buyout the contracts for the likes of Gayle and Clark who will be harder to find suitors for.
  18. If the press/ITK's are to be believed we pretty much have the following in the bag: Lodi (LB) Tarkowski (CB) Ekitike (Wide Striker) Would be a really solid start. Id hope we shift Lascelles, Clark and Fernandez and bring in a real top class CB. A pool of Tarkowski, Schar, New CB and Burn would be great. Then top drawer Striker and AM. Still think we need a destroyer though. I just don't see us bringing in more than 6 though. The best thing with other club links to players like Ekitike is that for the first time, maybe ever I am not concerned if players turn us down. We will get someone else at a similar standard. Happy times are a coming.
  19. Howe did say he wants to look at him again in pre season and that he had a rough year with long term injuries. Could definitely see him being an option to stay as back up. It seems Howe rates Krafth over manquillo though so it would be Manq or Lewis. Not convinced Dummett can play LB anymore.
  20. Saw that yesterday. Was stunned he is 35. Scary how time flies. Good bloke. We have been linked to better.
  21. Love the Shak-attack. Congrats to him.
  22. Despite their complete disaster of a year I do consider Everton as a top ten (ish) team in this league, or should be given their support and spend/infrastructure. It would be glorious to be taking players (that arent finished) away from clubs in the top 10 again. Still think there is better value than DLC but I'd certainly be happy with him.
  23. Is André Hernan reliable? Looks promising on Lodi for sure. Feel bad for Targett. http://sportwitness.co.uk/fullback-join-newcastle-summer-negotiation-going-talks-happening/ Lodi, Paqueta and Raphinha. ALL THE BRAZILIANS. Do it.
