I'm only worried we are predominantly being linked with strikers that are lone target men. We already gave that imo. Think Mitro will be boosted by the goal and raring to go on Saturday.

Remy staying at Chelski til the summer. Insert sad face here: Think we have to go domestic. Think Austin is too similar to mitrovic to play alongside him long term but would be short term boost. Personally I'd rather we stuck we Mitro. We need someone to compliment him that could play alongside him and also hold his own as needed. Going foreign is a too big a gamble imo.

More worried about perez suffering tbh. Mitro is always improving imo. Another striker is important but not another target man, rather someone that can both hold his own and Compliment Mitro. Remy can do that.

Tin hat on* Other than the obvious, thought he was better tonight. Some half decent diagonal passes. That said hard to see him get worse. Has to be dropped for shelvey/saviet.

At the cotton wool store, lost track of time.

Considering he is only still acclimatizing to the league and country he looks head and tails above when he is on..so does sissoko but gini has a step above in intelligence and skill. Huge huge player for us but as mentioned needs to be more consistent, he is not alone.

Personally thought it was a nice touch to have Ketsbaia there to greet him and turn over bald nufc tips and advice. Changing of the guard and all.

Me too think he will change us. Hopefully another 2/3 to come. Remy and a CB/LB preferably. Won't turn my nose up at Townsend though. Could be the missing link on the left.

If Townsend is coming in it probably safe to say we are shifting sissoko this window. I think that's a big gamble. While andros is probably a much better and natural winger our right side works fine with sissoko and Janmaat, could be dangerous changing our only tracking outlet that works. That said maybe he wants to deploy townsend on the left.

Amdy anad Abdoulaye pissed all over colback and Anita tbf.

We will drop a striker or defender to accommodate Colback don't worry. Wijnaldum Sissoko Colback Shelvey Saviet Honestly I am not sure. I can't see him dropping Colback. Hopefully replace Colback with Perez and use Gini as #10. If he ever stays fit Aarons would be in with a shout too. Still not sure why I am entertaining ideas. I am still sure he isn't coming.

Could be our Kevin Nolan or our Alan Smith. Let's hope he is our Jonjo Shelvey and he excels here if he comes. If he turns up to play he will become a cult figure here very quickly. Still expecting him to turn us down tbh.

Not to worry everyone..we don't need to debate his attitude or how e would do for us. He wants to move to London apparently, can see him turning us down quickly.

Saviet will be the shelvey fallback. Remy will be plan be if we don't get a permenant deal for an overhyped but ultimate flop forward. By the time we realize plan a b and c won't happen Remy will likely be at another club. Can't really afford to go foreign this window imo. We need proven and tested in this league.

x100 Pardew is utter wank, entirely dislikeable and his track record show that he can't cope at clubs past two seasons. Despite contrary opinion from outside of the club, no Newcastle fan should need telling how much he and his staff ruined this club alongside Ashley and co. That said, sometimes clubs work, fit and click for managers or players, maybe Palace is that club for him somehow. He inherited a good squad and in something akin to Ketsbaia taking over here, got full support from Palace fans as he was a former player. Something he never had here and his track record never afforded him anything but blind hope things might turn out ok. We are still waiting for manager that clicks. Hughton clicked on many levels with the fans and had things going on the pitch imo, for me the last time we looked like being consistently dangerous and free flowing in attack was under Hughton. SBR and King Kev are the only others in my lifetime that have taken the hotseat.

The raptures already happened.. being a newcastle fan is part of purgatory before the true end. The return of JFK.

They are hurting just the same as the fans and sick of it. Difference is you are paid to fucking do something about that. Classic empathizing with the aggrieved to get the heat off your back when you are the root cause.

Palace will win the FA Cup. It's destined to finish off our relegation season.

Will still be stuck on the bench behind dummett.

I've got more pleasure watching Vancouver Whitecaps and the mls over the past few years than watching our shit show. Also probably play better than we have the last couple of years.. actually hard to find anyone in world football worse than us.

Just bad luck wor jack got injured. We would have been fine with the chosen one starting.

We've still got a relegation 'fight' to 'enjoy'. Damn right we have 18 cup finals to look forward to. Why bother with this one.

Can't see a return for mitrovic. All this constant bollocks crammed down our throats about how we profile to make sure we get the right characters for the clubs. The likes of Cabella, Thauvin and Mitrovic are undoubtedly talented but the are confidence players that become irretrievable under pressure and shit form. Hope I'm wrong and these players turn it around but our track record is become a pattern.

We finally start creating chances and we have zero strikers capable of scoring.

Howay lads... 45 mins we are playing for Schteevies 8 year contract here. It's all on the line.
