Fuck sake. So tommorow then? I'm an impatient cunt. Makes you wonder if this will be a quick once over.

What time they arriving in Romania? Just want to see him in a Newcastle shirt and I can rest easy.

You know what's naughty.... that I think Chiesa is doable.

Be crazy if we started going mental with signings.

Chiesa would be fucking unreal.

You know when you watch Modric or Pirlo it was always like "this fucker is playing his own game here", everything becomes calm and simple. That's what he's looked like to me in this game. Doesn't seem to fuck about with extra touches, just smooth and controlled.

That Caqueret is pure class.

Change it.

How do you know what's inside that thread like?

Definitely want to see a new thread, just so we can see what snappy title we can come up with? Transfer Rumours 8: Rise of the tap-in-merchants.

Football is finished for every club who it is finished for but not the ones who it isn't... Man City = Not finished Leeds, Leicester, Everton= probably finished Man united= wasn't finished in the 90s, definitely finished now, unless they get the takeover and then it's not finished again Football was finished for us 2 years ago... until we got taken over and now it's not finished anymore. When things are going bad for you, blame everyone else, it's the system that's failing you.

I echo the above thoughts... Tidy first half. Seems to have quite a bit of footballing intelligence. Good feet, smart with what he does with it, without being anything like a flair player. He certainly doesn't look right fitness wise, which is odd because he's lightning rapid when it comes to a short sprint. Is it fitness or is it a bit of confidence showing in his play? It's that hands on hips, not really making little movements sort of thing. Of course he's playing in a bit of an alien position tonight. Every now and then he sparks into life and looks a player. If he can just get involved more and show a little more aggression towards demanding the ball.

It was nickson who went and got Bruno.

Nobody is choosing Lavia over Tonali by the way. The whole notion is laughable, you can shove ya graphs and ya data up ya arse.

Some people are naturally negative, so even when we sign a top class player, who's own fans are furious about losing, they will still find something, just anything, to put a negative spin on it. Tonali is a great signing.

If I'm not mistaken, 18 and 20 are both available. Perfectly acceptable numbers for a class midfielder.

Thats just not how squad numbers generally work. Richie might want to actually keep 11. It's massively disrespectful to just take a number off someone, after you just said you want to keep them and hand it to some young player. Tonali can always do a year with a different number. Its not like it REALLY matters.

(Could be wrong)

Given that he has a game in Romania tonight, I'd be surprised.

It's the "leadership, warrior" comments that excite me (provided he can play a bit also, of course). It's high time we had an absolute Roy Keane type dominating the middle of the park. Another potential captain also. I'm going to be so intrigued to hear how we convinced him, what we have said to him and who he has asked about us.

If we finish top 4, we've had a cracking season.

It's nice that we help out the little fish.

Rory the Tory was quite complimentary actually. Not bad for a club who he claims Sunderland are bigger than. Jumped up little floppy haired shitehawk.

Using Maddison as an example Option 1: Bruno Tonali Miggy Maddison Joelinton Isak Option 2: Tonali Bruno Joelinton Maddison ASM Isak Option 3: Bruno Tonali Willock Maddison Joelinton Isak Options, options, options.
