mbemba back up RB

most exciting move in the past 4 years lol

And the award to the least exciting team in the premier league goes to... We really have zero quality in the final third. What is wrong with our players, they have to think so hard about coming forward there is no natural attacking ability on show, by the time we have carefully considered our attacks the opposition is always re-organised or back in numbers.

We need some serious stability in the centre.. Colo needs to sort himself out, whether he is having another crisis in confidence or not the club has backed him a lot since he went awol last time. Seems we can't rely on him anymore. Another CB is critical. Have been pretty sceptical about Austin coming in with mitrovic here as well but it gives us a proven goal scorer in this league of the bat and helps mitrovic settle. I hope it comes off. Still not convinced about playing them both. Still need a right winger that can cross and dare I say score a goal from outside the box. Would still like Matt Phillips but for the price quoted we could surely do far better abroad.

Tbh I took that as 18/20 people he sees as potential starters going forward not an 18/20 squad with no backups. Likely to be some players he doesn't rate/don't figure In his plans long term that we are looking to shift and younglings coming through.

Why is that hard to believe? Hasn't Steele already got himself a new job? Missed the above completely. DOH. http://www.thefa.com/news/england/development/2015/jul/four-new-interim-coaches-appointed-280715 Steele's new position

http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/andy-woodman-finally-leaves-newcastle-for-palace-with-simon-smith-set-to-replace-him-1-7387631 Simon Smith not Steele coming in according to this.Find that hard to believe but I guess Smith has more recent history with the club.

You know it's possible to do more than one thing at a time right? http://www.nufcblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/mike-ashley-laughing-360.jpg Oh thats just the height of too muchery..

Louis is actually 45. He was desperate to meet a kindred spirit in Chancel.

I think wages will be an issue - we won't want our highest paid player sitting on the bench. Is essentially the problem. It is a no brainer to keep him but he probably earns more than Saylor and Williamson put together, for good reason but still too much for a bench player.

Let me in, I play here too honest. Security don't believe me.

He's shit, didn't score 11 goals when he came on today, flog him to AC Milan.

Sad thing is we struggle in the same way at full strength. Honestly Carver really excelled like in his coaching with this pre-season prep. Has to be the worst preseason in memory. Absolute shambles.

Ha, that said strong rumors NY Red Bulls are talking to Gourcuff.

Fucking great, Steele is very highly rated. Great addition, glad Freddie gets to move near his dad, but hoping he improves to fulfill his potential with us.

It's obviously not the player being interested. We must have been told different or we wouldn't still be trying. He is just placating his fanbase and club, dare I say being professional about everything. Its the club that wants a wad load more money than we want to play, nothing new there.

That ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Aye, right. http://media.giphy.com/media/vrbhWfh24BY1W/giphy.gif

We sign some young world beaters before we beat them down and smash their dreams into conference fodder.

Absolutely, a creative, exciting right winger and another CB are hugely important pieces we are missing. Obviously a CB is needed but we are stuck with no ideas attacking wise and an expensive striker that will be isolated and unlikely to make too many opportunities by himself. Yes we could do with another Striker, starting LB and backup RB but they are lower priorities imo. Another winger is hugely important if as promised we are looking to have a supply line to strikers we have one in our squad that has demonstrated they can cross.

The above teams apparently falling over themselves to get him but we don't rate him? Hopefully he gets some minutes tonight.

Been said he is interested in coming here if we matched his wages hasn't it? Or is that giggs? Said in l'equipe he would be open to a move to AC Milan. Probably bollocks but did some digging and found it here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aleksandar-mitrovics-newcastle-transfer-expected-6093891
