1st year in a new country and completely different more physically demanding league, thrown into a horrific coaching set up and team with zero morale. Think he would have shown his class here in time and certainly will at liverpool. There is far too much go for the jugular and scapegoating here when there could have been plenty of reasons at play. Regardless the end result is the same, he wasnt consistently good enough, so I understand some hesitancy, just not the pitch forks coming out for the witch hunt. If we had stayed up half the OTT posters would be fawning over his potential and have the opposite reaction to selling.

Luke Chadwick says facelift.

That was my initial thought, although my liverpool supporting mate was gutted at potentially seeing both leave.

LOL what? On fifa or champ manager? Sentiment echoed though.

One more CB would be fine til Christmas when we can reassess. Plenty of coverage and possibly a surprise graduate from the youth team. Didn't realise manure had a bid for Findlay rejected by celtic last summer. While lascelles and mbemba should be our starting cbs. We definitely need people to be pushing them. There is no point buying players that aren't good enough to demand a starting spot. Morally I feel there should be a balance with giving those guys priority but that's not how to be successful. Competition is healthy. All that said the centre would still feel like it's missing an experienced leader if we bring Hanley in, even though he has years experience.

This That'd be mindblowing/incredible. And begrudgingly this

Tom lees or Richard Keogh according to rags. Ayala is wanted but too expensive and maybe wont fancy the move. Lewis Dunk is also likey out of reach now. All quiet on the caulked front.

Ings would hardly be a squad player. We are looking for a striker and rumor is Ings is available. He is hard working, pacey, very rafa type player, obliterated the championship before and is also far better than the majority if players linked. Either way rafa will get what he wants. People on a message board fantasizing about players they think will improve the team won't change that. Lighten up. Talk of player exchanges had been going since this forum existed and before, granted they never happen. All this being said I agree there is an argument with buying squad players over players better than what we have. That's where we are at with our cbs. Either way if they are good enough for rafa they are good enough for me.

Getting Ings as part of the deal would be a very good idea. Even if it's on loan would expect they would want 10-15 for him tbh.

Have they actually interviewed anyone else yet? Other than Arry bumping into someone and forcing them to pay for his lunch and calling it an interview.

Shades of sid justice. Could be a career ender that. Get well soon demba.

Ince scores and provides assists in this league. Depending on his price tag he would be a no brainer for me. Better option than Sinclair who had done nothing since Swansea.

Word be happy with both. Would be ecstatic with sakho.

Do he and Mbabu room together or something? They must hang out with haidara too. Absolutely gutted for the lad. Even if he gets fit in fear he is going to be too mentally scarred.

Play Vancouver on Monday. Hope we smash them.

We are only losing potential and hope he will stay injury free and finally prosper here. He has been utterly useless for us, granted fate has lent a hand. I'd think we are serious about keeping moussa/wijnaldum if he goes. We need an attacking mid. Maybe rafa fancies Perez there.

Why are people so obsessed with this idea? The last time I was in Newcastle, in like 2003, was just about around when they stopped brewing it there. It is only Newcastle in name now. Great logo that carries amazing memories though. I think you answered your own question there. Increasingly torn about the strip. Don't want to buy it with the wonga logo. Yet it looks soo good and my optimism and passion feels like it is being slowly restored alongside pride in the club.

Told him he is free to leave?

A New England manager for a New England.

Ideally we need another couple or cbs. We could live to January on just Hanley coming in though. Lascelles, mbemba, hanley with hayden, dummett, gamez and maybe other younglings to step up should be fine. Might also be frugal to get a loan or wait til January anyway so we know where we are at. It's hard brining in new players when lascelles and mbemba should be our first choice.

Why? He's not an established prem player. Still a young guy looking for an opportunity to feature week in and week out, which he'd get with us. I just think he's good enough to play regularly in the Premiership, and for a decent side. Yeah, I agree. I just think the kind of club likely to give him that kind of opportunity I the prem would likely be a newly promoted side, or one that is not that established or high profile. So joining a club like Newcastle under Benitez that is clearly pushing to return asap, is likely an attractive proposition. If he does well, like Townsend did, and we return straight back up, he'd be a fixture in the team going forward in the prem under a great manager, and a at a club with a lot more potential and better profile. We need another winger so will be interesting to see whats going on. He is clearly holding out for something, scousers are inserting and insane amount of clauses into sales though including sell on and by back, this could just be the hold up too. I thought the Bournemouth deal was already done a couple of days ago.

Allardyce reporting he hasn't been contacted! Still haven't heard anything.. feel free to call me anytime like. I have my mobile with me at all times. All times..

18m plus ibe would be nice
