You’re putting the discourse on here above the success of the club, which seems an odd order of priorities.

Fortunately the club are going to continue to do what's best and keep on with the progress they have made since taking over, so no need to worry.

Or maybe you could stop acting like a zealot and expecting everyone to be happy with every decision the club makes?

 

 

Some of the stuff being said is just so ridiculous man 

Push Dan Burn to Everton as a Branthwaite replacement instead?

Do you think these people are fools?

Come on man!

We should be trying to push one of Wilson, Almiron, Murphy or Longstaff on them rather than Minteh. Even Dan Burn as a potential Braithwaite replacement.

 

 

Maybe you could step in on behalf of the club and do the negotiations.

What would in effect be a Minteh DCL swap would be nothing short of Championship level management. Unbecoming of a side looking to be the very best

Did anyone watch him that much last season or are going purely off YT and basic stats ?

 

 

 

Nowhere near as much as the manager did that's for sure.

In what sense?

Minteh is clearly the key piece to getting us out of the shit. And this deal with Everton is mutually beneficial in that sense.

With all the complaining about it, maybe it would have been better if we didn't even have the option, and we were then forced to sell one of Isak or Bruno, to really give people something to cry about.

You signed Isak, Bruno, Botman... But then Howe started to make the market and he knows only PL players. For the same price of DCL you could sign Zirkzee or Santiago Jimenez... 

 

 

 

Yes, I'm sure Zirkzee and Jimenez would just love to come and sit behind Isak.

Pains me to say it, but what was probably needed was for us to lose one of Bruno or Isak to an Arsenal and/or Man City because we had no other option, to really sober up some folks on here.

Saw this one the other day. Really good player. A signing I think everyone would love.

Happy the Netherlands have been using him off the bench and not starting ahead of Dumbfries.

If he was starting he'd start getting too much attention like Guehi and Calafiori have this tournament.

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

As I said previously I’m not completely against the signing if it allows us to bring in a top RW and CB. On the face of it though I’d prefer a younger option with a different profile.

Yeah, that's fine I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Perfectly fine, if people prefer someone else.

I've already clarified the kind of comments I was initially responding to, but like @Ikon said, best just ignoring those, as irritating as they may be.

Wilson stats at Bournemouth are better than DCL at Everton.

Wilson's record at Bournemouth was nothing to rave about, and he was playing under Howe in a much more attacking team throughout.

DCL has mostly been stuck in pretty poor Everton teams. The one time he had a really good manager and some better players around him, he performed at a better clip than Wilson did.

It's really not that different when you look at things a bit closer. They're actually quite comparable in those periods.

Kaka once again defending a rumour (at best) that hasn’t happened . At least wait until it happens, if it does. Personally I don’t think we’re after him. Also not wanting him and preferring other routes/options is not wrong in any way at all. IF he does come in then everybody will want him to do well, and he might do so. Just because people prefer someone/something else doesn’t mean that anyone has to be gloating about it and be all “I told you so, now eat your words. Hypothetically speaking, if he came in and did reasonably well doesn’t mean that other options still might have been even better. We all want what’s best for Newcastle and it’s a forum with opinions. You might think he’s a shrewd bargain and that you think he would (WOULD) be a good signing and such, fair enough, nothing wrong with that. But please skip the attitude about gloating/eating their words, I told you so and so on. Both now and afterwards IF it was to happen. 

'What a waste of funds'

'Brexit signings'

'Keep Howe away from signings'

'Bring back Dan'

These are the kinds of comments I was referring to, and other similar types. They are just so silly.

In any case, don't worry about me. Just do your thing. When it all works out, we'll all be happy and enjoying the team perform anyway.

It's a strange one as he's no better than Wilson , if he's cheap though I suppose he's not a bad backup option for when Isak is injured.

It may seem that way since Wilson joined us, and has had a chance to play with some better players.

However, at Bournemouth Wilson regularly scored single digits in goals in the Premier League, only managing double figures at Bournemouth once.

Don’t then  people can have their opinions without people hoping they can get giddy about the thought of proving them wrong in 6 months time. It’s such weird behaviour if im wrong im happy to say i am, ive been wrong before. If DCL gets injured in his first game i wont be looking for posts from months previous

It's calm man. Lets see what happens.

If Isak is staying, we'll find it hard finding better? Someone who can take a bit of the weight off Isak's shoulders and still a good age. 

Think he'd be a great back up striker option. Arguably one of the best in the league. 

It's quite important we have a good one to keep Isak fresh throughout the season, and to give us a legit two striker option at times.

DCL has had one really good manager so far at Everton, in Ancelotti, and he was very good those two years, and that manager raved about him.

His profile as a player fits very well with how we play. Looking forward to seeing this whole thing play out if the move happens.

Think it will be yet another case of people eating their words, but lets see what happens.

Because people don’t want DCL. I’ve seen far more horrendous takes on here

I'm not getting into any back and forth about this.

Lets see what happens when the season rolls around.

When we turn in to Bournemouth you mean?

We'll see. Just remember all this gloating then, and don't start getting angry when it's brought up, as is typically the case.

Think it's going to be really interesting looking back at some of these posts in a few months.

In a twisted way I'm enjoying seeing fans of the so called 'top clubs' suffer with seeing their favourite players from their clubs be mismanaged to this extent, and look terrible, and them complaining non stop about them being out of position and the tactics.

The dismissive nonsense I had to take from them during the Ashley years, when I would complain about how bad the managers were, was maddening.

It's genuinely like Steve Bruce is manager now.   

He is in charge.

We've suffered under enough of these types of managers to know the template and playbook.

It's always the exact same terrible product and litany of excuses.

Please take Dumfries off.

It's Weghorst time!

That Geertruida that came on is quality.

Surprised he doesn't start ahead of Dumbfries.

But of course. My goodness 

When it's an English refs, is the VAR also an English crew?!
