Thought so too, couldn’t hear the rest of the words though.

Looks mega fit.

Might be too early but I’m thinking statue.

Having Targett and Lewis playing is hilarious.

I think with his fitness issues, cashing a massive cheque while you can is a decent idea.

Have to wonder why we’ve arranged these friendlies so early when we’re clearly not ready to play a match. Better than a training game I suppose.

Popping to the working men’s club before the game.

Wouldn’t think he’ll ever make a big move again if he goes to Saudi.

Was this house thing well known?

Mainly due to employing the Juventus manager TBF.

I don’t want to sell Maxi but have no issues with Barnes, I think he’ll be a great signing. I would be much happier going into the CL with some kind of wildcard like Maxi though. Like Taylor said, we could end up quite workmanlike in wide areas.

But surely if that easy to spread the cost of transfers, we can afford them anyway?

Have they all been holding these tweets until someone leaked the Maxi deal?

Why do you say that?

Barnes is class but I’d rather keep them both. We should be allowed a good squad. Liverpool have about 7 wide forwards.

This would be a fantastic signing.

Course, there’s also green.

If that's a requirement then of course, I just assume most of our FFP chatter is bluff. We spent over £50m on our first signing. But, I obviously don't actually know.

I mean, fair enough his fitness hasn't been great. On the other hand, he could easily have had 10 assists last season if anyone in our team could finish. One thing I will look forward to is this debate being over Don't think it will stop until he's gone.

In terms of squad building I'm not sure it makes sense, if anything Maxi becomes a better squad member the less we need to rely on him. That's the biggest shame for me, I can see him becoming a really useful weapon next season. Optimism bias maybe.

Really rate Fofana, he’s class. Very sad what he’s been through.

If Pep didn’t exist.

I can't get interested in them at all. Might end up going to the Sela Cup but I know half way through game two I'll wish I hadn't bothered

At least old men will stop slagging him off for doing perfectly good stuff on the ball.

It really annoys me how people just assumed he was going or it was automatically correct to sell him. Even worse with Miggy, guy has just come off the best season of his career in the best Newcastle team we've seen for 20 years
