So we've reached the political discussion stage of Transfer window madness.

I hear he is available

He’s thick as pig shit to go with it. He’s unintelligible and has zero stature in terms of how he presents himself. 

Unlike anyone here

last season was a leather card holder, a monochrome pin badge and a leather key ring strap thing (no idea what you’d use it for).

 

I realise that doesn’t answer your question but hopefully gives you an idea of what to expect!

The Daily Mail says we are getting a copy of the Quran too

Botmans fee gets split over the next 5 years - £7.5mill p/y [approx.] 

With our Noon sponsorship he's cost us nothing in regards to FFP.

Except for the £5m pa or so in wages

I've said that we had some very fortunate goals in some of those games, Shelveys free kick vs Leeds was lucky as was Trips deflected one vs Villa to name just a couple. Like you say a few of those results could have easily been draws.

But then we had some own goal and shockers of our own.....Darlow against Brentford for example

Has Howe ever worked on with a 5 at the back?

 

Having Schar, Botman and Burn in there sounds sexual.

His first game against Brentford 

I know there was some regulation a few years back on agent payments but it seems to me FIFA need to re-visit. A player's agent should be paid by the player; a percentage of their salary/benefits. That same agent would have a conflict of interest if they were receiving anything from the buying or selling club. Don't know what has happened here but other sports have absolute transparency on player deals. Seems a mess nobody can resolve.

We have also had a Judas or two, over the years.

We've also had some lamantations from the Chronicle

It's World Cup year. Pope is only coming if he gets to start the season as #1

I was thinking totally new commercial deals as our current ones are lacking. 
 

But of course, it’s very much wait and see. 

If it is true that the Fun88 deal is being cut short then it will expire on 30 June coming. I just think the club will let this pass before announcing new deals.

I’m wondering what’s the hold up on hiring a CEO. It’s been totally silent on that front for awhile now. 
 

Im also surprised we haven’t signed any new sponsorship deals either. I’m assuming the ownership are fully focused on the playing side for the time being. 

You'd suspect sponsorship deals will be announced from 1st July as this seems to be the general break point for existing deals.

Dunno why people rate Dubravka so highly. He makes the odd save every few games, does OK but never really does anything that any keeper wouldn’t do. And he looked very shaky when we were playing badly and under pressure. 
 

I don’t know that much about keepers TBF. 

He was shaky when he first came back from injury but the save he made away at Leeds helped turn the season round. 

I rate Pope but would prefer Sanchez.

Lascelles gets an early return

Isn't it weird looking at the league table without thinking "At which point can we be safe from relegation?"

and looking at the last game against Chelsea and wondering if it will be a Top 4 decider

I do wonder if Scotland left if theyd accept Geordie asylum seekers. I live closer to Edinburgh than I do London and if they leave, I'd rather join them and let little England craic on and tory their way in to oblivion. 

 

If the Tyne could be the hard border I'd be Buzzing.

At least he had plenty leg room with the flight not being full.

Seemed like he was until Ashworth came in. 

Wonder if Ashworth is going to push for be Sanchez from Brighton?

It's going to be really interesting to see how this all plays out with Newcastle.

 

I'm not a 100% convinced we are going to be anything like PSG or Man City at all.

I agree, I think we will be way bigger in time.

Does he not send signals by baking bread?

Just now, Dr Jinx said:

I don’t think he’s worth that much but he’s a very good player. Not worried about his height as he’s very aggressive in the air, same height as Coloccini iirc?

 

What would give to have a player like that on our books again.

I do worry about his height and size as I've seen him bullied by Lukaku type forwards. Strangely seems a goal threat in the air, must be good movement.

No doubt he is a decent player but I'd be concerned if Fenandiho was picked ahead of him by Pep unless there were injury issues.

This doesn’t sound like a Howe tactic.

But he was watching A Madrid in his time off who used Trippier and Lodi with three CB

If even half these links are real we will end up with 7/8 Brazilian first teamers 

 

 

 

It would be more environmentally friendly if Brazil just switched their home games to SJP
