From the Athletic - also, Fede was the last CH we signed - August 2018 As Benitez would regularly say about his Newcastle signings, many of whom were very low down his list of targets, “It’s not about who I want, it’s about who I can get.” Had he been backed, Benitez was adamant he could have acquired, among others, Mason Holgate, Wes Morgan and Marlon Santos, although the latter’s loan from Barcelona in 2018 fell through due to work-permit issues, rather than because of Newcastle’s unwillingness. Nathan Ake, too, was courted by Benitez in 2017, but Newcastle were unable to match AFC Bournemouth’s £20 million offer to Chelsea.

Jota is class

The complete silence from when Bergwijn shoots is a thing of absolute beauty! It must have bedlam in that away end!

He'd be a superb signing - fingers crossed!

I said that on Sunday - it’ll be ironic if an Everton win up here rubber-stamps his return!

Our current dog-shit position should work in our favour here for a change as surely Man Utd won’t want him to go to West Ham or Spurs?!

I know he's never broke a contract but he must regret turning us down in October (well, going to Everton was absolute lunacy!). I never knew that he turned down Atletico after his short stint at Chelsea! https://theathletic.com/3078146/2022/01/19/what-next-for-rafa-benitez-everton/

Class!

Oliver Holt absolutely hates us! wanker! “The last guy who upset him was carried out of the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in bin liners.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10406881/OLIVER-HOLT-Newcastles-players-watch-step-grim-tour-Saudi-Arabia.html

Bring him home!

Bring him home

Lumped on us!

Very pleased with this - great character, big presence and has double figures in all of his Premier League seasons. For where we currently are, he's a great signing. New Zealand vice captain so another leader like Tripper - something we're desperately lacking!

I see they're all mocking the Wood signing - apparently, the 'Loch Ness Drogba' () is better than him

Barca 0-1 Real Thoroughly deserved and class finish - V Jnr!

Nailed-it!

‘The King’ ha ha ha

Pleased with this - 12 league goals last season, 14 the season before!
