Wish we'd signed him years ago.

All the officials' fault. Mark Hughes said so. He's such a bitter cunt. Never got over Fabregas telling him his football was shit after that FA Cup game. Always shifting the blame.

Yedlin came on on the wing today. Albeit, for only a few minutes. Makes sense. We've got better options at fullback than we have on both wings at the moment. Looking forward to seeing what he and Lazaar can do.

Good. Need more of this.

Love this guy. Also refreshing to see a player in a Newcastle shirt give a fuck about playing for the club.

I'll be surprised if we don't see this guy and DeYedlin on the wing at some point this season.

The need for another winger is clear then.

We have never needed to buy more than 1 striker, we have always had enough in terms of numbers just the quality. We have swapped the likes of Cisse for Gayle and Doumbia for this guy. People need to get their heads out of theirs arses a bit. What nonsense. I hate this type of attitude. So folk are not allowed to criticise? Anyway, of course we needed to buy more than one striker. The very case being this afternoon. Both Mitro and Gayle injured and, of those two, only one has shown they can score goals at this level. Listen, if he proves doubters wrong, brilliant. But on face value this seems, at best, like a panic buy. Plenty of other options out there that could have provided much better squad depth.

So this is it? It's embarrassing tbh. And before folk start labelling those that think this is anything other than a shit signing 'knuckleheads', try putting it in context. We've needed to sign more than 1 striker all summer and the best we can muster is a last minute bid for a Championship clogger. It's bollocks.

It'll be a lazy, pointless, signing in if it comes off. Stump up some serious money and bring in someone that could make the step up. Assombalonga, Forestieri, Rhodes, etc.

No Gayle or Mitro? Bugger.

Would be close to Kuqi levels of disappointment if we sign that lump.

Learn to pass the ball forward and keep your fucking hands off other players you useless sack of shit, because unfortunately no other cunt has been stupid enough to bid for you and we're likely stuck with you for the rest of the season.

Fulham bringing in some decent players. Think they might well be the dark horses this season.

Assombalonga would be a great buy. Would certainly make the step up to the Premier League and would make a real statement if we were to stick in a big money bid. Murphy can fuck off.

Wouldn't recognise him if he chatted iz up in Powerhouse. 5/7.

I reckon we'll see him on the wing.

Should be in there if Wham are selling, but can't see it. They need all the strikers they can get atm. So much for your international player Tony, you fucknugget.

Loss. 2 or 3 zip.

Hasn't he just moved to China? Don't know if this is a good signing for them or not.

Got to say we have to have faith in Rafa but I am left a little bit puzzled by some of the signings and some of the players he has/is shipping out. Prime example is Krul who is a far superior keeper than Sels and yet we appear to be loaning Krul out and paying over 4 million for Sels - just doesn't make sense. This. Unless Krul has said he doesn't want another year in the Championship and that he's looking to go?

Just got back from the game. Agree with midds entirely. We looked ok once the second goal went in, but typically nervous beforehand. We look scared to lose sometimes. I can't fathom why Rafa is so blind to Colback's deficiencies. An appalling footballer. Lost possession countless times and, when one would think he would have a bit of courage to take the game on given the opposition, simply passed the ball backwards and sideways. So frustrating.

Aye.

This squad is nowhere near deep enough in terms of quality yet, man.
