Toon No9

Fair play to them but that's why i didn't go, not enough numbers. Not enough numbers because you didn't go... And you, and you and you etc...

Did we ever get to know who the mystery signing pictured with a shirt at St James Park is?

Just saw Norwich starting eleven...? That's not players for a PL team. They're going down.?

Bruce will love him. He's a krafther!

Haha, we're just like the NorthEast reporters here! ...we have no clue, do we??????

Probably a signing for the U23s.

See us linked with Derbys RWB Jaden Bogle. Could be a good signing!

Know he played for Djurgården () in Sweden for a bit. Know someone who knew him back then. Djurgården!??? Well, the kids turned out well anyway...??

A right wingback(not Krafth, we need better), a backup striker and Thiago Maia. That's what we should get at a minimum. But time is running out as usuall...?

This is the only thing I can see with Maia and Newcastle. Looks like Genoa is going for him. Wasn't he to return to some club in Brazil? Wouldn't mind him though.

If we're about to keep Yedlin, I hope we doesn't use him as an RB or RWB. He could do a job as a winger, but then again, we don't use wingers...?‍♂️ Simply don't see a place for him if we sign Krafth and Manquillo being ahead of him.

Also think he's been more than ok lately.

That would be a good solution. Also need to sell Saivet, Aarrons, Lazaar, Sterry and Colback. In a perfect world Muto, Atsu and Gayle would be sold aswell, but all of them needs replacements.

If we're willing to pay £15M for Jordon Ibe, I'd rather put in £5M more to get Bowen or an extra £10M for Wilson. What's another £5-10M for the wealthy man (or what he said about the BZG).

So, time for Bruce to pick the 25 man squad for the season. Who's gonna make the squad and who will miss out? We simply have to sell a few players before the window closes. But the time is running out as usual. Is it ok to loan out players after the window closes?

Surpriced Gucci is given the no.10 shirt. Would have expected Almiron to get it this season and Gucci to wear no.7. Murphy to be sold, go on loan or get no.17.

3-4-3. In a front three with Joelinton. 3-4-3 worked last season and most of our players know that system. Also don't see the reason to have 3 central midfielders when we play 3 central defenders. I think you get more balance between defence and attack in a 3-4-3 than in a 3-5-2. 3-4-3 is the best way to play football at the moment.

Good move if he will get enough gametime. I'm not sure he will though. Two senior keepers at the club already. One of them is a swedish international. It's very important that our loanplayers get gametime, otherwise they could just stay put. Rather them playing in league 1 than on the bench in championship.

"The modern day player..."??

Think we really need 3 more players as a minimum. 1 striker (Marrony?) 1 winger (Wilson) 1 left wingback (N'soki) But only think we'll end up with Andy Carroll as a deadline day free transfer. ...and he will get injured in his big comeback game and out untill christmas.?

Wilson and Bowen for me. Not sure of this ASM. And after Ritchies injury today I hope we go all out for N'soki.

More setbacks for Ashley and SD!!! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/markets/article-7302187/Mike-Ashley-suffers-fresh-setback-auditor-quits-troubled-Sports-Direct.html

I don't understand why we are trying to sign wingers when we're playing 3-5-2 and using wingbacks. Would love us to play 3-4-3 instead with wingbacks and two wide forwards/wingers.

Thought we were gonna play in the orange kit today. Hope we never use it.

Dubravka* Blob Darlow Woodman Yedlin* Manquillo Lascellout* Schar * Lejeune * Fernandez * Dummett * Clark Lazaar Ginger dog Hayden * Ki * Jonjer* when he can be arsed Longstaff * Almiron * Atsu Ritchie * Murphy Aarons Gayle Joelinton ? 25 man squad. I make it about 12 that are serviceable/ proven to do a basic job in the PL. ones worth having and who can do a job in the PL 19/20 marked with a *. Very harsh on Clark and Atsu. Manquillo > Yedlin imho
