Newcastle Fan

Saw that Vilca is still playing with the U-23

I was looking at him and thinking how lucky is he to get paid as much as he does to just pass the ball to the nearest player the minute you get it, no intention whatsoever to take a man on.

If its Barnes that we see as his replacment then thats quite the downgrade

Hopefully he can get more chances to impress in pre-season, had some nice plays today,

Really good so far in pre-season, Rangers fans think they will do great if they can get him on Loan.

Considering some players only trained for 4 days that was a good run out, no players injured and everyone got minutes. We do need more players who can run at teams, its a shame we are losing Maxi but hopefully we can replace him with someone who can also do some damage from the wing.

Looks absolute quality.

I don't think any Saudi club will buy any of our players to be honest.

The guy got cleared twice, i don't understand why people here are angry about it?

Diaby was one i really wanted for us, surprised we are not in for him yet.

Really well done for him for helping the U-21 win the Euros as well as getting player of the tournament, hopefully this will give him confidence ahead of the next season.

ASM is decent and Joelinton did a fantastic job there when called upon.

Right wing Is our problem not left wing, surprised with this signing.

Every time i open this thread it gets weirder.

Weird one this, he has only just returned from not playing for more than a year so he might not be the same player he used to be, and we already signed Ashby with the hope that he will be a cover for that position.

This is a guy who's agenda is to be number one in anything he touches, neither he or the people backing him will settle for anything else but what's really nice is seeing how he fell for the city and the people as well and his talk about being part of something bigger than himself was really nice to hear.

Is the rumor solid enough to deserve its own thread?

Literally any striker from League one and above could've given the sort of performances he's put in with us

Murphy (Isak)'s goal vs Everton for me, knowing him the Almiron goal looked like a fluke to me.

Good job getting his first goal, he will have a proper pre-season with us now and we can judge him again come the start of next season.

He seemed to be a big fish in a little pond at Leicester, technically gifted but dosn't really graft much. for the sort of side we are building we could do better especially with the fee they will be demanding for him.

I think this season benefited him more than any loan move would, and we will see a better version of him after this summer.

Everton really are the turd that won't flush, but with their financial situation they will only get weaker, hope we spank them home and away next season on their way down.

Looked calm and composed; shame that shot didn't go in.

Hopefully he'll look fitter and better with a pre-season behind him. Looked much slower in recent times.
