Sounds like that's more your area of expertise man. I have no idea on such matters.

Well thank God for that.

I really like Guehi so would be very happy with that for sure. Would love even a speculative loan on the right too, just for something different. Those tend to open up at the end of the window, and so still hopeful.

Okay, well when all these pundits make baseless claims about Newcastle fans then don't complain and get wound up. What Eales has done to be categorised as a prick, cunt or little salary man I really don't know. No one is saying you have to like the man, but for goodness sake guys.

I don't think people wanting better from that side hate Miggy man It's just not giving us great balance going forward, and if Gordon isn't flying it limits us so much. We've somehow ended up with two players on the right that are not good ball carriers or passers of the ball, which is quite awkward for the team.

Yeah, I agree. But, I just think the timing has to be right. If we were set everywhere else in the first team then for sure go for it. However, I think I'd have liked to split the money between CB and RW at this stage. Especially with how well we've done getting players at the £35 million price range previously.

Was a metatarsal I think? So might be a little while.

Tonali coming in at RCM and/or Trippier starting, and we should be fine. However, any kind of rotation due to players being injured or needing a rest and it all gets tricky, when Longstaff comes in and is paired with our current right wingers and Tino. Really think we've lost our way a bit with recruitment this summer at both centre back and right wing, and are going for absolute guarantees. This is a real shame because we've done well landing really good players that weren't that when we got them, but reached a higher level with us. But let's see where things are come Friday, before going too deep into this.

He's not 6 ft 8 man!

Fine to question the work they've done. However speculating over their character and who they are as people, when none of us know them personally, is pretty grim stuff.

Think that's why we started hearing last night/this morning of a new bid likely being accepted. One thing missing a couple of Prem games, but being cup tied would be ridiculous.

Think Atletico Madrid are going to have a really strong season.

Interesting that this says we've been priced out of right wing options in the Prem, and are looking abroad. There's a young guy at Mitchell's previous club Monaco that we haven't been linked with yet I don't think, that's a lot like Olise. Name is Maghnes Akliouche. I wonder if he's on our list.

Hated the 'statement signing' talk from Shearer.

These guys haven't even done anything wrong and they're being labelled as being all sorts. Mike Ashley and Llambias really may have been a true reflection of what a good number of the fans deserved. This is horrendous.

Seems to me folks choose to believe the worst of everything, when half the time they rubbish what these guys report. There's been just as many reports saying we have other options that we've been working on concurrently, and that we are still looking at options for the right wing. We'll know for sure in a few days.

People continue to claim it leaves us with no money to do anything else or it leaves us no time to do anything else. Neither is a fact we are certain of. Does it just make people feel better to assert these things or what?!

Ah, okay. Depending on how much Gomez is valued though, they would likely only need to pay around £30 million to swap the two though, right?

Is this what you've heard?! Can't lie that would make us look so dumb But as long as we look elsewhere and have another option it will be fine. We will get clowned for that though.

Still get wound up remembering how we battered them at home last season, only for them to throw on a bunch of attackers at the end and have Nunez smack two in to beat us. So yeah, you should probably prepare yourself for that.

I've seen between 6 million and 9 million euros a year he's apparently been asking for. Seems he's willing to go lower for the more attractive teams like Barcelona, but is asking more from clubs he doesn't fancy as much.

At the price it's definitely worth it I think. Unfortunately, they're saying he's been after a club in the Champions League. I really do wonder how much that has affected our business this summer, being out of Europe. Similar was said about Mamardashvili and Nico Gonzalez both wanting Europe.

I really don't think Chiesa is finished. And it's going to be sickening having Liverpool have him as yet another wide option. Especially if Friday rolls around and we're still in the same position. He's going to cost £12 million.

It's not because he's broken. It's because he refused their contract terms and he will be on a free next summer.

Yeah, but think it still gets recorded separately as an incoming deal, and so is probably included in our spend.
