I was adressing the points you raised about sportswashing, human rights, blood money etc. If those issues aren't the point, not sure why you mentioned them.

Maybe you should quite supporting Newcastle until PIF have sold up if you are that sensitive about these issues.

Same thing tbh, he was another one who wore his heart on his sleeve. We tend to like those up here, they get the place and feels like they have bought in fully.

The same happens during most summer friendlies tbh, and yeah, if we had some new signings to look at would probably take the edge off it a bit. Seeing Alex Murphy scoring own goals is probably setting off a few triggers tbf.

Same here. There's been so much interest in Sesko this just feels like another one of those where once we make a move it will bring the lurkers out of the woodwork.

I didn't sign up for these so not actually watching but it's bizarre reading the comments, you would think this was a PL match seeing the blood boil on some of the posters.

Think that's the same for most fans tbh, he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve like say Bruno does. He's a cold mofo but I think that's what makes him so clinical as a striker so I can live with it.

The football people seem to have either quit due to ill health or resigned. Not sure who is even running the shebang these days, could be Howe's nephew for all I know.

Who's that on though? We heard Howe in his interview yesterday repeating the mantra that he only wants to buy from a very small pool of players who will improve the squad. Most of the people moaning about our lack of success in the transfer market are putting it down to the board not backing Howe. Not sure it's on them if we are chasing targets who are beyond our reach.

It's understandable though, most people would want the chance to at least double their wages. If Wissa is on 25k a week he could probably quadruple it at Newcastle.

Can't take people seriously when their arguments are this fallacious. If ASM was sold on the cheap we would have had higher offers from other clubs around the world. We didn't even get any close to what the Saudis offered, otherwise he would probably have stayed in Europe.

I think Hope is alright as well despite him writing for the Daily Mail. Craig I know you used to post on here, so take some solace. You might be an insufferable twat but we take you more seriously than some.

Not scoring some of those goals in the PL like, but he does look like he can finish. Definitely looks a player.

Might not be as easy as all that the wages they are on. There again they could always sell them to Galatasary, they seem to have more money than the Saudis.

Some people just like to assume the worst regardless of the facts.

He'd need to teach him to finish then.

It will end up closer to £40m I reckon.

Depends what that wedge is. I was hearing 300k and while I don't believe that, even 200k is a bit much for someone who hasn't actually done that well last season.

Would love to know the name of the person who is actually charged with the negotiations from our side. Mitchell was an easy target, but how come we don't know who is making these decisions now he's gone?

Based on what? No one has actually taken a punt yet because his record is not all that. It's more promise than the real deal at this stage.

Keep hearing this name come up, and he does look a bit useful. How come we haven't shown some interest?

Well let's hope reality doesn't mimic whatever Bizzaroworld you pulled that idea from.

No more than Isak had before joining us. Hmmm....might be a bit risky.

I don't blame them, but we have to be more flexible about going abroad for a striker. They aren't cheap over there either, but at least they aren't batshit crazy prices.
