Toon No9

Yeah, probably the Puma deal expires in June and the new store and new kits will be released by Castore in early July or when the shop is ready.

I would not include Woodman in a deal to get Willock here. I think Woodman has a great future and could be our no 1 keeper for many years to come. Would still love us to buy Willock though. Sell Ritchie(replace with Willems on a free), Shelvey(play Shortstaff or Hayden instead), Hendrick, Gayle and Joelinton. Use that money to get Willock. Sell Lejeune and one of Schar/Clark. Replace with Ajer or Nat Phillips. Bring Saliba in on loan with option to buy. Get Armstrong in and an experienced back-up striker on a free.

The papers say the price is down at £8M. So with the 40% sell on that would be £4,8M. But my guess is it will take more, so maybe a bid at £10-12M would do for us I think. Rather we sign Arma instead of King!

Signing Armstrong must be a no-brainer. £5-8M for a 24 year old local lad who's just scored 28 goals in the championship is just too good to say no to. I would do a deal even if the price would go up to £10-12M. Much better option than Gayle, Carroll and Joelinton who all should be sold imo.

That's really ugly!

So it's £50M to get a new contract for Carroll and buy him a wheelshere? ?

What I meen is that if they haven't agreed about this for over a year, to start a third way will take at least 6 more months or so. It was also ment to be sort of a joke, just like everything has been this last year regarding this. ?

Oh no! Not a third way!? We have gone over a year just to get a simple yey or ney. We don't need a third way now!

New awayshirt? https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-uniteds-away-strip-leaked-20741879

Why change a clubs crest? A clubs crest should always look the same. It should be the DNA of the club.

I think we still sit here in 2 years saying that in 2 months it will be done.

Not even the arbitraitors(or what to call them)?

Does anyone know when this arbitration is taking place?

Ivan Toney!

Matty should be a starter in our miedfield. Matty, Hayden and Willock is our three best central midfielders and our 4-3-1-2 system should suit them perfect. Hayden as a more defensive one and Matty and Willock with a lot of energy making runs in to the box.

I would say Sir Bobby Robson as a manager! Should just have been here forever! As for players I'd say Mbabu, Merino, Ferdinand and Woodgate.

Yeah, I know. But say IF they we're(or somebody else for that matter) is there any tests for a new owner to go through? Yes there are EFL tests. and then they'd still have to pass the PL test if we came back up. It's supposed to be carried out yearly, amazed how Chelsea still have their owner. Really?! What happens if somebody who already owns a club fails the test?

Yeah, I know. But say IF they we're(or somebody else for that matter) is there any tests for a new owner to go through?

IF we go down and IF the saudis are still interested in a takeover, is there still a test for them to go through? The PL O&D test is not something they have to go through but have the EFL/Championship any tests or is it just up to the owner to sell to whoever he wants?

So can anyone explain to me, as if I was a six year old, what's going on? Is the takeover any closer or more far away than it was yesterday?

Elliott Anderson to score a screamer in his full debut! 1-0 to the Toon!

Shelvey offers nothing! Just a lazy passenger! Should be dropped for Matty Longstaff. Would like to see a midfield three of Hayden, Wilock and M. Longstaff.

We really need to give Elliot Anderson some time on the pitch now. We can't wait for our promising players to be 20-22 years old to give them a chance. Needs to get a taste of it now. Not saying he should be a starter but needs to play 30+ minutes for some games and start 1 or two games so we can see if he got what it takes. If he takes his chance it's great, if not send him out on loan next season so he can develop. Same goes for Matty Longstaff, needs to get minutes under his belt now. Problem is that we're always in desperete need of points to avoid relegation so our managers are not brave enough to play our younger players.

Its been a problem ever since Bruce arrived here, it's not something new. Has been a problem for many, many years except for the time when Rafa was here. Whatever he did it worked and was something we should have learned by now. Must be a basic thing in football, how to keep players fit.

Sean Longstaff is 23 now and has been missing a good manager who can develop and guide him in the years he needed it most. Will be a squad player at best in a PL team or a decent championship player. Matty Longstaff is a few years younger and need to play games now to develop. Either at Newcastle, I don't think he's any worse than Shelvey right now and definitly better than Hendrick. Or he should've been loaned out to a championship team and get games every week. Matty has a big chance to become a regular at Newcastle but need to get games now and need another manager.
