As harsh as it sounds, thank f*** he's gone.

Huh, nice..... If true, guess we may have to count on Raylor after all on Saturday.....

Absolutely imperative now to get him in today/tomorrow morning.

Looks like the move could be completed today. That's that then.......

Harper is definitely near the top in the list of long serving players. He's been here for 18 years (I think).

We'll have no chance without him tbf. Gervinho vs Raylor or Perch... Exactly, that was my point. Absolutely imperative. Most definitely.

Nice

Exactly. He should only play there as an absolute last resort.

Against us.

Oh and this as well to add to my post above. Though the Liverpool thing had made his imminent departure sour.

Actually, this is a much better way to do things.

I'll echo what some have said so far. His departure was inevitable, but to go to f***ing Liverpool of all places is f***ing annoying. But if we get Pieters at around the same time (say a few hours apart) Jose actually goes, that'll do

Hope so!

One of these: Tavernier/Dummett/Raylor/Perch/Ferguson (if fit)

Honestly can't see him going to Stoke.

This

Mark Douglas seems to think so. Really hope we get him in before Saturday. Can't say I'd be content with Tavernier/Dummett/Raylor/Perch starting at left back on Saturday (if Ferguson is back by Saturday and starts though, then that is somewhat acceptable).

We've only got a couple of days left to wrap this transfer up (provided that we are actually in advanced talks at this stage). Time is running out.

other than we're Newcastle and things are never that easy Ha, true.

Honestly, there's definitely no reason why we can't get a good result on Saturday!

Canny.
