It’s only really the suggestion that he disclosed details of the Newcastle/Brighton negotiations that he’s on the hook for here. Nothing wrong with talking to prospective employers while employed elsewhere (how do you think we sounded him out in the first place?).

 

It’s Berrada who could be in hot water, as he was operating on behalf of Man Yow while on gardening leave at City.

Citeh are too busy with their own legal cases and won't have time for Berrada. Besides, what can they possibly get out of suing Berrada. A couple of million quid won't mean a thing to them.

I know what he meant, just comes across dumb

We're already out of the FA Cup. The only opportunity left to get into Europe is for the best team to do us a favour.

I rather leave it in hands of Man City to help us secure a place in Europe than for us to face Man U in Cup Final. Less pressure and hope Pep wants to win another trophy to add to his collection

Man U got no manager at the moment. Why would Tosin want to open himself to so much uncertainty. If the rumours are true that he has spoken with Howe & staff, at least he has the assurance he is wanted. Unless he loves waterfalls more

Finally, I quite like Yasir. He doesn't come across as a remote or arrogant figure. I think he's enjoying the ride and has made decent relationships with those running things. The early indications have been good, as far as I can see.

Yasir has wowed by the support and has been in from Day 1. Big question remains if PIF will continue to be interested in project if Yasir is replaced for whatever reasons. Successor may have own pet project

More like clubs outside the "Top 6" developing players to be sold to "Top 6"

When I last went to a Canada in 2016, there is a football shop near my aunt’s & uncles.

It had shirts from all over Europe in, not even just the usual clubs, but some smaller ones as well.

They even had the latest Villa kits in and some Scottish clubs, come to us and I’m sure I only found 1 shirt and it was from a few years previously.

The Toon shirts were in high demand and all sold out 

Saudi colours as far back as 1999-2000 season 

Wonder how will PCP keep up with matching their 10% share of new cash injections if this continues. Ruebens are probably fine, but Amanda & Mehrdad have their limits.

Eddie's biggest enemy is Eddie himself. With his own high standards, coupled with expectations from everyone associated with the new Newcastle United, his innate intensity may also cause him to burn out lot faster than his time at Bournemouth.

I think he messed up his own situation by insisting on a move, he could have still got his agent to look discreetly for clubs, but have one eye on January so an amazing world cup could get him the dream move he actually wanted. Instead of 'settling' for West Ham which, even though they've had a good window, they've been operating at their ceiling for 2 seasons now, not sure they'll get to the next level. Whereas we're currently a bit further back, but the ceiling is a lot higher and it's a more exciting project to be part of. He left Lyon because they finished 8th. West Ham with the start they've had aren't guaranteed as high as that. So it is definitely a strange move. 

Howe and owners probably not impressed by Paqueta pushing for a move. If he can do it once, he can certainty do it again if he doesn't get his way.

It’s unprofessional for them to speak on players who we didn’t sign for a start. Also, anything they say will likely come back to haunt them. Saying Botman wants to come and still does is I’ll advised and not something which should come from our owners. 
 

I’m all for transparency and I fully support them but they might need to give more political answers in future to avoid binding themselves. 

Botman has been quoted as saying he is excited to be part of project so nothing new there. The only other name they mentioned openly was Lingard and that again was open info.

 Bruce and his 3 Steves were more like CRT TVs and he is shaped like one too ..

When's the deadline to announce the new squad of 25 players? There could still be some twist to who gets into final 25.

Other than the unwanted players, for a team to release their "star" on deadline day, they must have been signing replacements in the runup to close of window.....
