To be fair, it’s what we’ve been consistently told since Botman signed and the actions of the club seem to back that up

I’m gonna end up looking like a twat when he is class for West Ham aren't I?

Reckon his cover will be a late loan. Maybe a young player like a Broja or a player getting pushed out like a Werner

I’ve no bother with anyone. Just didn’t like the suggestion that I had unrealistic expectations of was ungrateful because I didn’t like a player we are linked to. KI is a good poster we just disagree here

Ahh so you are mental then. Only kidding I’d be happy with a player that isn’t expensive but I rate. I’m not asking for the world. I just don’t rate cornet. As I said I believe their is a strict budget and I’m fine with that. brennan Johnson for example if Forest hadn’t came up I’d have been very happy signing him as I’ve seen him a lot and never failed to be impressed but that’s my own person view and I’d be more than fine with anyone that preferred cornet or would have been underwhelmed by him

You replied to a quote agreeing about a comment that was about me

I haven’t said anything like that at all. Don’t attribute comments like that to me. All because I don’t rate cornet. Individuals are allowed to rate or not rate a player without their view getting thrown back in their face and called ungrateful. Im practically the only person on here that believes their is a strict budget around £40m left and got hammered for believing it and I’m ok with that so to say I’m ungrateful or to think about last year is just shite

Mate, it’s just a reaction to a potential signing. It’s no big deal. I’m not the only one that would be underwhelmed with Cornet. Someone posted as much just a few posts above mine. My opinion on Cornet has absolutely no relevance to the team last year. If we sign him I’ll hope he makes me eat my words. My only point was he’s underwhelming compared to other players we’ve been linked with. Jesus I’ll assume you haven’t said anything negative about the signing of wood

Definitely, it’s just my initial reaction. If he does come in, just like wood in January he’ll get all my support

Yes I’m excited for the season and it’s miles apart but the Ashley era has fuck all to do with this transfer window. I find this view that you can’t want the best because of what we used to have. It’s the shittest patter ever. i mean even the Club don’t see Cornet as a top target or we’d have activated the release clause Close all the threads, no point discussing anything KI says we have to be happy with everything the new owners do or every player we sign because what we had a year ago

If he was brought in along side Maddison I’d be all for it but If he was the main attacking signing of the summer it’s very underwhelming. To be seriously linked with Diaby, Maddison, Barnes, Harrison and even Paqueta all players who potentially take us closer to the next level to end up with Cornet just isn’t that exciting.

Cornet & broja unfortunately

From Maddison to Cornet

This cunt seems to be meeting everyone

Ekitike would have cost £30m to be Wilson’s understudy. I think they ideally want a striker that can play across the 3 so both can be on the pitch at times

Had Ekitike signed then it pretty much would have been. I think we’ve found it quite difficult with everyone else as we seem quite strict with rigid valuations

Are u ok?

It’s not just hope tho, almost every journo who reports on newcastle have spoke about this budget. Douglas, edwards, hope, Waugh, downie and graves. Are they all making it up or have they been briefed ?

Me either but proof is in the pudding so far we’ve been put off/walked away from Diaby, Harrison, sesko, Toney, DCL, Paqueta and now Maddison and haven’t seemed to have bid over £40m

He’s been saying £40m left since botman signed

are we forgetting Downie, Graves, caulkin & hope were all in jesmond dene house with Staveley and co before any news of the takeover broke. They obviously have sources within the regime. I think people don’t want to listen because it’s not what they want to hear and it doesn’t tally up with their view of things. I’ll keep an open mind but as someone said hope was spot on with the lawyer appointment and the Carrick brother appointment why wouldn’t he know about transfers. if Hope said on the radio we were tabling a £60m bid tomorrow very few would be saying he knows fuck all

Yes

I just really hope we don’t get desperate and activate Cornet’s release clause

He said £40m then sky said it was indeed £40m
