Toon No9

If they're talking to three parties then they must be able to sell to one of them.

"A deal could be done as early as tuesday"?

Very quiet on the takeover front today. Waiting for a bomb: "Deal completed!"

So, it's leaked in the media. So what!? That's not a reason not to sell.

I agree with you. A whole fresh new start from top to bottom. Why? Who would you prefer? I've been thinking this as well. Love Rafa as a person and his comitment and passion. But last time he was here we didn't play the most attractive football. He is very defence minded. I would like to see Pochettino. Did a great job at Tottenham and really built a good team. Broke the dominance of "the top 4". Would be pleased with Rafa, but Pochettino would be my first choice.

Ut usually means desperation tactics by one of parties, and that usually means there isn't a deal in place. The buyer to try and grt fans onside and apply pressure, the ahem, seller, to flush out other parties. Not always the case mind. If it's a genuine leak, ie some cunt got word rather than planned, then it doesn't make a difference. So which one is this? Well, I'm gonna treat it like a fakeover anyway untill proved otherwise! Nah, who am I kidding! IT'S HAPPENING THIS TIME!!! :frantic: :frantic:

I don't understand why the deal could collapse because it's being leaked to the press. What differens does that make? Anyone who knows?

Just get it done, and unveil Pochettino at the same time! ???

The story in the Chronicle says David Reubens son, Jamie Reuben, is set for an executive role at Newcastle. He is currantly a board member of QPR though. Also at QPR as a DOF is Les Ferdinand. Les Ferdinand was recomending Bentaleb to join Newcastle. Just saying...?‍♂️

It's on!!! It's really happening this time!!! :rolleyes:

Agree with that. Either a 4-4-1-1 or a 4-2-3-1(wich I prefer). Think it's something to do for next season. With a full preseason for everyone to get used to it.

Behave yourself. Piatek upfront, Bowen on the bench. Piatek would be great! But I think he will end up elsewhere. Would love us to play 4-2-3-1 with a front 4 of: Bowen Almiron Saint Max Piatek But it depends on if Lazaro can play RB.

I'd like to see this team after this window: Dubravka Shar Lascelles Lejuene Lazaro Rose M.Longstaff Bentaleb Almiron Saint Max Bowen

Done deal! http://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2020/01/24/leaked-pictures-show-valentino-lazaro-holding-up-the-nufc-shirt-on-tyneside-done-deal/

Good to see players coming in! Also time to get some of the deadwood out.

Hope he scores before halftime. Then rested and taken off at the break for Shortstaff who scores the second. 2-0 to the Toon!

Players wearing Barbour jackets when coming to St James' today.

Brooks, Fraser, Wilson, King and Howe from Bournemouth would all be good additions imo.

If he's about to sell Roma for $872M, he at least have the money to buy Newcastle for £350M (or even more) and still have money left to take the club forward.

Bowen on a permanent deal and Lazaro on loan with an option to buy would be mint!

It's on!!!!! :frantic: :frantic: :frantic:

Barbour our new kitsupplier next season? To keep ASM warm and injury-free!?

Josef Martinez would be great!

Can't believe he was even on the bench let alone risked during this game. Bruce deserves what he gets sometimes. Should have been Sorensen on the bench instead of Carroll, imo.

Sorensen's not even on the bench, man!
