Can't believe all this preciousness from the Argies.. fucking retiring at 29 with others likely to follow suit. Pull yourselves together and man up. I forgot doing something for your country is only an opt in opt out situation dependent on your mood. Absolutely disgraceful.

Probably still has that "promising" reputation there as he joined us as Monaco's top scorer. For a club like Nancy they will think maybe he just wasn't suited to the league and can do it for them. A potential steal given he won't go for much.

Don't see any indication why he's better than what we have though, it certainly isn't his goal record. I'm not against it, but i imagine if you are to sign a striker it's for someone whose more of a guaranteed goalscorer not another promising, young but raw talent to go with Perez, Mitrovic and Armstrong. He's quite quick though isn't he? Pace is something we definitely lack up front and if we're going for a striker, one who can motor a bit would be a good addition to the squad. Different to what we have for sure. Definitely Pacey but good in the air despite his height.

No idea Ian, last time we were down Watch ESPN website carried most of the matches. This time, it definitely sounds like BeIN and maybe Fox+ will carry a handful (May have made up Fox) so will have to pay for some official radio subscriptions or something to follow I guess? I'm abroad (Turkey), and obviously won't have the pub option any longer as they tend not to show anything outside of the Premiership. However, if you can find someone with SkyGo who isn't using up their four devices (I use my dad's) and then use a VPN, you can watch anywhere in the world. I'll probably see more of our games this year than last seeing as we'll be a popular draw in the Championship. For what it's worth my Aunty and uncle who live in Canada said the last time we went down they saw more of our games than ever before. Currently though no one had the deal for Championship games over there, but with is and Villa both being relegated I can see them selling deals across the world. Fingers crossed. Think there will be a fair few games on, Shaw doesn't have BEIN though. Provided they are on somewhere we should be able to get them online.

Love it. Cheeky hint maybe? Would be genuinely shocked if he came back. He looked like he had a ton of promise but we never got to see it, for reasons we are all aware. That said would think there are better options out there if we are bringing a central mid in.

Daily fail saying talks have taken place. Seems weird unless we are selling Perez. Armstrong and Perez aren't instant starters bringing in another similar striker at the same stage of their career seems strange.

20m would suit me. Could absolutely find two players with that money that will have the desire and hunger to perform for us every week not just when they feel like it.

Actually be more pissed off if he stays at this rate..

Exactly this and the case for a few players. Benitez went tried and tested and in some cases found out the hard way that while in training some players look great they never translate it to the games where they bottle it. I think Saviet will stick around next year and could be really important. Either way I think everyone here trusts Rafa's judgement on whether to keep him or not.

Poor choice, Definitely a sidekick name.

Huge news if we can keep him. Could become legend at this club.

Gayle isn't a bad shout. Rather him than Bamford.

Weird this 8m clause and palace rumor is still being peddled since local journos have confirmed it is 13m. Will have to get used to it though. This type of stuff us going to happen for every player until the window closes.

He is from the Ketsbaia school of madness.

Along with chancel the only two players I don want to lose. Rated him before he came, rate him even more since he came. Don't begrudge him a move but desperate for him to stay.

Dembele at fulham too. That said we have 4 young strikers that could light the championship up. We need experience upfront imo.

I'd have expected more from a cousin of Stephen Ward Ha, read that too and was insulted and embarrassed for Anita, Antia and more so Steve Waugh.

I love the club I'd still be s**** up front though This guy is crap and needs replacing now as if we go up hell only need replacing then 16m for a carthorse is a no Brainer He got 1 in 2 in a team that dominated a league similar standard to what he'll play next season. If he stays, he should be in a similar situation again, with the benefit of a season in the Premier League and now Benitez in charge of him. Why don't you feel he could score the required goals? Biggest victim of the shit atmosphere, culture, mindset and results caused by years of inept coaching that has made everyone suffer. If we had finished mid-table he wouldn't have received half the flack he has on here. He is among a group of players we looked at to save us, as he clearly has the talent, reputation and price tag but didn't always deliver. Yet still managed to score a great return which would have been seen as promise had the team survived. To evoke more eye rolling and yawning I will bring up the age old..."Look at Henry in his first season adapting to the premiership" to go further see an Argentine that flopped at this club when it got relegated last time but went on to be an absolute leader and rock for the next 4 years. Hardly the first foreign player to struggle. I agree he has looked complacent and lost at times but I think there has been some prime scapegoating. Again not that he doesn't deserve some flack but I would be happy to keep him here next year, he could be instrumental.

Highest rated English player, four years in on in my Fifa 16 at 86. Never lived up to potential unfortunately and turned to Glass. That combined with his inconsistent ability to properly engage his brain he was a liability at best. Best of luck in your future endeavors Saylor.

Put money on it being Zenden tbh, he was interested in the past and has links to the area. Have full faith whomever comes in will be great!

JFK tbh. "I'm honored to be back at Newcastle, It is mutal I am sure, I've always had a great connection and felt fully supported by the great fans supporting the iconic red and white stripes."

Absolutely gutted for him, think he would have been a great option of the bench. Lets hope someone gets injured and he can be on standby or is that already too late?

New assistant manager.
