It annoys me that I'm essentially waiting for someone to create a fancy video.

Not be long now.

I'd argue that Bruno and Botman are at least of those calibre (diaby etc) but I agree that things get harder with attacking players.

6th and above= dreamland 7th = really good season 8th= par 9th= think we could have done better Top 10 isn't a target or a successful season. 7th should be our short term aim. A trip to Wembley would certainly have a big say on how successful our season has gone.

By pie in the sky you mean ambitious? There's clear interest there but I think we won't act unless we can get players below 40m.

I think that would be smart for all parties.

Reckon Broja could have legs but we will have to wait for Chelsea to make their moves first.

Hope said 3x30m signings. So by my reckoning: 1. Botman 2. Striker 3. Winger Targett was last years budget and Pope's fee will be easily recouped through sales. Although, I think we will struggle to get the required quality in both striker and winger positions for 30m a piece, we may end up kicking the striker can down the road and concentrate exclusively on a winger. I've said all along that I think we will end up signing Ivan Toney and I will stick by that and I know I'm contradicting myself.

Surely all the paperwork/contract on this is done? I'm fairly sure it will be a case of signing on the dotted line. Fingers crossed it can be announced tonight.

It doesn't even make any sense either. If we are looking for Ekitike alternatives, that suggests we have at least the 25m we were outlaying on him. Besides, any loan deals we may do won't be without cost. The guys a muppet. However, one thing he will be correct about is a period of quietness while we concentrate on outgoings and the start of pre season.

You can feel his hatred for Newcastle. His journalism is always tainted by emotion. Luke Edwards would love nothing better than everything to go wrong at NUFC, so that he can talk about Steve Bruce.

Where do we reckon he's flying from?

Totally my thoughts. Botman was key for me. He was their no1 CB target and someone who we would have found hard to find to replace. Now we need some sauce in attacking areas, but there's an abundance of choice and we can afford to strike the best deals over the next 2 months. I also think we need to wait for other clubs to start their business, that will open the door to sales and more opportunities. I couldn't care less about Ekitike, it's time for us to make him and his agent stew.

He's like some car crash I can't help looking at.

Fucking gets me everytime.

I suggest you work out how value works.

If we signed Sarr, I reckon it would be less than 20m. Watford have already said he can leave and they aren't in any position to bargain.

2 will be free soon but thought Trippier will take it.

Genuinely couldn't give a shit which way this goes.

Should be all over this.

Yeah it doesn't work like that. I wouldn't trust Shearers opinion on any player and SAF probably thinks Steve Bruce is a good manager.

Precisely. Dunno why but I can see him in a Fulham shirt.

Don't you talk dirty to me Fabrizio.
