  1. I’ll give Wullie and Joeyt £100 each if either finish 10th or above If I don’t I have to be banned and ridiculed. Deal? *Bet only counts if Rafa stays because he’d finish above both with a cigar in his mouth.
  2. But you seem to think “Potter Ball” and Bournemouth will give everyone a football lesson next season just like Fulham fans thought Jokanovic would come and show us how football should be played Do you want £100 if either finish 10th or above next season? I say 10th becuase Rafa got that first season up with one of the lowest net spends
  3. Just watch how “Potter Ball ” does next season I’ll gladly put my hands up if I’m wrong Reported. Can people not make predictions now Is it too early to get it right? Bottom 6 next season. 15th Burnley 16th Bournemouth/Brighton/Villa 17th Brighton/Bournemouth/Villa 18th Villa(If they spend)/Brighton/Bournemouth 19th Sheff Utd/Norwich 20th Norwich/Sheff Utd *Bottom 3 will be Norwich, Sheff Utd, Derby(IF Derby County come up.) We’ll be in that bottom 6 if Rafa goes though.
  4. Just watch how “Potter Ball” does next season. I’ll gladly put my hands up if I’m wrong
  5. Watch how “Potter Ball” does next season just watch I said the same would happen with Jokanovic last summer Brighton and Bournemouth will finish 18th/17th next season playing “Total right way football” With Bournemouth conceding over 70 goals again. IF Rafa goes though we’ll automatically be 18/17th next season becuase we’ll join that silly can’t defend but Skysports absolutely love us association.
  6. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48386784 Chronicles take : https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitez-newcastle-arsene-wenger-16323544 Wenger comes into the category of manager that would be terrible without great players. A manager that would only look great in a league like the French League with PSG or a Big 6 club in England with great players. Rafa Benitez over Wenger every day of the week for me. Not that Arsene would ever take on that type of challenge of his managerial skills He got Monaco from finishing 5th the previous season to 1st in his first season there and would have probably won more but for Marseille's cheating there. He also got some pretty poor Arsenal teams finishing comfortably in the top 4 "Not like Arsene would ever take on that type of challenge of his managerial skills" I don't understand this argument. Why would someone go to a shite team when they have the chance of managing a good team? To challenge your managerial skills like Rafa Most of them know they’d fail without great players and without big money come and try play that way with rubbish players I’d love to see these brave “Total football” managers with bottom 3 squads let’s see how that would go in the Premier League oh we already saw how that went down with Jokanovic. And Potter next season. Guardiola would get massively exposed great manager for a club like £City or Messi F.C. though.

  8. Apparently head guy of that Mexican group has confirmed they want Newcastle United. Said they wanted us during the season but had to wait due to the relegation risks. All this is according to some Mexican translation of qoutes coming from their recent press conference on Twitter so not sure how legit Their definitely legit at buying football clubs though
  9. Ah, man I was hoping we'd be looking at him as an option for central midfield. Hope he doesn't get snapped up too quickly. Just read Wolves are interested too Apparently might be sent out on loan again with a future fee attached.
  10. Very good ball winner. He’d get even better at his position with the team shape drills of Rafa Benitez that has been so well coached into Longstaff. £30million plus Mctominay or no deal
  11. It's absolutely hilarious that these are the standard of players Man United are going for/would look to transform their fortunes. Longstaff, James, Rice, Sessegnon while good players are only good British players and as much as you can rate them, they're hardly going to help improve their current plight IMO. Signing those types of players (British, potential - see Zaha, Young, Smalling, Jones) has hardly worked for them in the past. I think Longstaff would revolutionise their system tbqh. He'd sit and find people all day long. Completely freeing up Pogba.
  12. Exactly. Fulham sold Ross McCormack for 12m in 2016. He was then 2 weeks from turning 30 and had 38 goals from 89 championship games for them. Only fair that we start talks at 20m as Gayle is younger, has a better goal scoring record (although playing for better teams) and the market prices have been inflated Hopefully someone will actually pay it though Best hope is probably Fulham or a Premier League big spender like Bournemouth for £20million. Not sure the likes of Norwich or Sheff Utd will go over £15million.
  13. Never using Wiki for age again
  14. Aye right. He'll stay if he's told we'll do things properly. He's a mug like the rest of us. "Maybe this time it'll be different!!!!" He stays, Ashley stays, and in a good year we might make it to 10th place and the 4th round of the FA Cup. Woo. #TeamSpaceWullie Aye let’s just get relegated instead While everyone in the country has a party watching us go back down to the Championship again. I don’t ever want to see that League again. Hopefully Rafa waits Mike Ashley out if not not then at least he’ll have progressed the club and given a good platform for the next manager who then might get a new owner down the line. Going down took us back years but thanks to Rafa we’re now back to having a solid base to become a Top 10 club again the last 30 Premier League game table shows that. Makes me laugh how people are taking for granted getting 10th first season up and even more points this season look at how Huddersfield, Fulham, Cardiff, Brighton have done since coming up compared to us.
  15. West Ham want Camarasa contributed(Goals and Assists) to 9 goals in 32 games from midfield for Cardiff Very underrated player the type that would get a media love in if he played for Wolves. I’d carry him from Spain to Newcastle on my back if we could have him for under £10million. Hopefully we get linked
  16. Nah. McTominay is better, Longstaff more potential. We're looking at them two and Pogba as a midfield 3 though. Matic is done. At what playing 50/60 yard passes off either foot? At having a left foot as good as his right. At having Michael Carrick composure? What exactly is Mctominay better at? It certainly isn’t winning the ball back because Longstaff has that in his locker too. Longstaff is a better all round player I even like and rate Mctominay but Longstaff has far more in his game. I don’t think Man Utd would want Longstaff if they thought Mctominay was better than him.
  17. Are we allowed to remind you of what you said next season if Rafa isn’t here Rafa Benitez is building us back to being a Top 10 side even with less of a budget to everyone else he will do it. The last 30 Premier League games league table tell you where we are progressing towards
  18. I think demanding Mctominay coming the other way as part of the deal would have to be a must Mctominay seems a very Rafa type player, does everything Longstaff does off the ball just not in the same planet on it which explains why Man Utd want the talent with the ball of Longstaff. On what planet do you think we'd get rid of McTominay? You do realise Man Utd are trying to upgrade him with someone that can do what he can do but ALSO do what Michael Carrick could with a football at his feet? You’d have to give us that basic version of yours plus £30million. Joking but that is the only deal I’d do I think Mctominay is very good at winning the ball back just limited with the ball compared to Longstaff. Hopefully the board really test how far Man Utd are willing to go for Longstaff.
