Just him setting up a smokescreen for us so Chelsea don't bid. He loves the Toon

Also, isn't Tiote Muslim as well? I guess doesn't need food.

Yeah, this would have been an amazing transfer window if we hadn't been hit with a 35m windfall. Unfortunately, we were.

It's not complete fasting, just not eating while the sun is up. I was just in Bahrain and Oman for a week and people there seemed to have no trouble eating copious amounts of food after 7PM. Someone even told me that most people actually put on a couple of pounds during Ramadan I'm sure the club could arrange a reasonable diet for him where he can get the nutrition he needs through a dinner and a late snack every night. It's not ideal but it's hardly sack-worthy.

I suppose we can console ourselves with the fact that most clubs at our level have had pretty unremarkable transfer windows as well. The only mid-table club that's significantly stronger than last year is Stoke City. We can still compete decently enough despite standing still.

Ramadan is over. Unleash the beast.

Can you imagine if we'd lost to the Mackems and were in the relegation zone? Silver linings ftw. Good day at work? I'm going to be in some mood. I snuck off during lunch hour to take a nap. Got six missed calls from the office while I was asleep. Fuck this shit.

The next two weeks are going to be terrible on here. Transfer window closed, no match to look forward to... Just more time for us to stew and be miserable about our failure.

We expended a whole lot of effort into standing still. Shame we didn't take the opportunity to move forward, but I guess it's questionable how far we would have gotten by being more ambitious anyway. In the immediate future, mid-table is and always will be our fate.

I console myself with the fact that even if we bought a striker, we probably would have ended up mid table. As it is, it feels like shit to see Ameobi and Loven on teamsheets, but we'll probably still finish mid table.

Stoke spending 22 million on the last day. QPR wrapping up 4-5 signings in less than a week. I wouldn't endorse making similar transfers to what these clubs have made, but still there's something we could learn about how to conduct business WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF FUCKING TIME

Vastly disappointed and angry with the amount of investment. Reasonably happy with the quality of player we were able to find with the tiny budget we were given.

Just piss off. What a fucking shithole. Fucking embarrassment.

Sounds like us, tbh. Probably doing the exact same thing we're doing.

Don't know what kind of helicopter we use, but he physically needs to be at the helipad just about now to make it to SJP and sign a contract within two hours. why would he need to come to newcastle to sign a deal with us ? i'd be surprised if the club didn't have somewhere in london, a central hub, to make this sort of thing easier. Why do we have a chopper on standby at all then? have we ? Well, David Craig says so.

Hope we're on the phone offering improved terms. And begging. Lots of begging.

Hopefully we'll at least get this through and deal with the defensive depth problem. Best and Ba up front better fucking work.

I've just fucking lost it. Can't believe our first choice striker is Shola AGAIN.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW MANY STRIKERS IS THAT WE'VE TRIED AND FAILED AT THIS WINDOW. 15?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Chrissy can have his choice of Ranger and Lovenkrands. Maybe both.

Fuck it, screw sleeping. I'm ordering breakfast.
