Nobody

Göykeres to Arsenal according to Swedish paper Sportbladet

As someone who is getting married later this summer, this has hit me very hard. Definitely made sure to give an extra hug to our lad and wife to be before setting off for work today like

What an exciting non update. How many more tweets until we're at nearly at here we go

Bit of a random one, but if anyone remembers a tweet that was posted on here last year about FC Brunos Magpies, a club from Gibraltar formed by a bunch of Newcastle fans in 2013 (IIRC), who were about to embark on their first ever European journey? Well that same team has now been drawn to play wor Isak's first club AIK if they get past a from Estonia in the first qualifying round of the Conference League.

Don't think we will or should. £55m seems to be the going rate for wingers this summer.

Fucking hell

It's absolutely insane how some quote what happened on day 1 amongst all the hype and try and use it as a stick

Winning trophies and qualifying for the Champions League.

Aye, that's what I remember as well

Most disappointing part about this is how well his name fits to the opening line of La Isla Bonita

I don't mind the longer stoppage times, especially now that they've been reigned in a bit. But the 5 subs is so fucking shite, I really can't stand it.

I'm at this stage now with literally all of our supposed transfers. The money other teams are spending now just makes it feel utterly ridiculous that we should have to worry about what we're spending. Fuck PSR, fuck FFP, Fuck UEFA and the PL and fans of other clubs. If Howe and NUFC want a player, I want him too and I won't lose any sleep about how much it might cost or how it will affect our other targets.

Or if they've been bought for £100m and have been caught doping and face a lengthy ban while on an 8 year contract. Something like that should be devastating for a club that hasn't even got a front of shirt sponsor, right? Right?

Wirtz need a better agent if he's just become the British transfer record and is only on half of what Salah makes.

Wasn't it more like £8m? Owen was our transfer record until Almiron

I see a lot of people saying this, but I don't really see the upside of that for us (regarding Isak). As it is, he's still under contract for another 3 years, where we hold all the cards. If he signs a new contract with a £150m release clause, he's probably leaving next summer and there's nothing we can do about it. All the while we'll be paying him more for the next 12 months as well

Wasn't he like 32 when we signed him?

I literally remember nothing about him Suspect he was a shite Cm/DM, feel like we had fucking loads of them during Ashley, most of them having been mentioned lately.

Ridiculous they couldn't announce the first say 4 fixtures straight away. What the fuck do they expect will change from now until July?

Mate was at the same wedding as him last week, got a video of Isak wishing my son and stepson a happy summer Absolutely made our week that did, what a guy.

12 places for Europe, not 6

Not that I really care but what were even the criterias for who was picked for this shite anyway?

Tbf a completely meaningless friendly between Man Utd and Leeds is pretty much a sell out in a 50k arena in Sweden in July. So aye, shove any two relatively big clubs against each other pretty much anywhere in Europe and it would probably sell quite well. That doesn't mean there's any actual interest in the tournament though, it just means people are desperate to see their team play live.

I would watch our games if I had nowt else to do, same as I do with our friendlies. It's more to do with how much I enjoy watching Howe's Newcastle than anything else really. I would feel quite embarrassed about watching them mind, which I don't feel about watching a friendly, so I guess it's fair to say that it'd be ranked lower than friendlies for me.

Nah, both came through at AIK, but Isak left well before Ayari came into the team.
