Can't see us counting on the City case. That would be reckless. If there's no significant increase in commercial income or the Premier League blocks our sponsorships for being 'above value', it's looking certain one of the trio of Bruno, Isak or Gordon will need sold in the next 12 months.

The breakaway 6 are essentially globally established due to their relative success coinciding with massive global growth. We could have been one of that six. Ratcliffe maybe had a point - it's arguably in the Premier League's commercial interest to keep these clubs near the top and in Europe. 'Small' clubs like Everton aren't really relevant any more.

Yes, Gordon to Pool and Bruno to City would certainly perk up our interest

Wouldn't be surprised. PSR doesn't really afford us the 'luxury' of keeping Almiron as a backup for a quality right attacker. We can have squad depth with some bargain basement players, or further quality funded through sales. If Gordon has indeed only 2 years left and we can get £100m this summer, his immediate sale to Liverpool has to be seriously considered.

Been waiting over a year for some announcements to be made. Likewise with the ground. Don't have any reason to believe there are some sponsorships pending approval. We could have had some easy hits by now regardless of the breakaway six and PL trying to stand in the way.

No way we can afford to drop £60m+ on Guehi without a major sale, surely. I fear Gordon will chosen to depart to fund 2 major signings.

With 3-8 months seemingly being a typical lay off for our own players, 2 months out seems fuck all to be honest. In fact I consider it quite fortunate. Man U should count their blessings.

I'm not convinced our squad is top 4 capable without a quality centre back, right attacking midfielder, and a decent back up striker. Feels like PSR has essentially placed a cap on our progress, and we're not going to strengthen in an meaningful manner unless we add another £100m to our income.

This should end any talk of using the empty land by the Arena https://www.northeast-ca.gov.uk/news/housing-and-land/-from-brownfield-to-beautiful-mayor-and-local-leaders-progress-major-newcastle-regeneration-scheme Very much doubt Castle Leazes will ever be an option. So either go out of town or expand St James'.

Been told to get his head straight before being allowed to rejoin the squad

Murphy staking his claim as our starting right winger

With Botman and Lacelles still out long-term, Miley missing start of season, Wilson possibly missing start of season, Willock made of glass, and if the Chronic is to be believed, Longstaff still struggling and a few other not yet in proper training, there's going to be an obvious impact next season too. Even without Europe, we could be stretched to breaking point again if we do well the cups. We need 3 high quality players minimum.

Would be sad to see him go - essentially the founding player and leader of a new club era. But equally would be very frustrating if we get a fee that would have allowed us to retain Minteh. If it's relative pocket change, think I'd rather keep him on the books.

Well that's a load of bollocks. May have been somewhat possible 15 years again, but that ship has long sailed. PIF are surely aware that we're under a very constrained budget and having to sell good players just to avoid points deductions. Top 5-7 (with hopefully the occasional 3-4) is a reasonable long-term target under the circumstances.

Wish we had a player like Minteh on the right

We can't really afford any more players.

Are we top of the injury league table yet?

£2bn stadium in Newcastle Not a chance in hell they'll be spending that. £300-400m for a major revamp and extension of St James maybe.

Unless an announcement is imminent, we're getting too close to Euro 2028 to achieve any noticeable enhancements to St James. Personally I think I new stadium will not happen, so any Gallowgate expansion and Leazes refurbishment will come around 2029-30.

Lining up Tripps and Gallagher after we'd equalised finished Southgate for me. Clearly just wanted to try and cling on for dear life and hope for pens.

Eddie will make good use of him at the WC 2026

Outclassed by Spain. Can't complain. With a less gutless manager, we could have had this mind.

Stop kicking it out like that Pickford man

And there we go ffs. So used to Newcastle or England never winning anything, kinda felt numbed to that goal.

Kane is laughably poor ffs. Gets the ball deep, then can barely move forward before getting dispossessed. What a complete waste.
