Toon No9

Yeah, I'm with you on that.?

Is that a real picture? Then why is last seasons shirt in the background?

Watching Colombia vs Poland now. Very impressed with Johan Mojica, the Colombian leftback, no17. Plays for Rayo Vallecano but has been on loan at Girona this season. Also no.20 Quintero from Porto would be a good buy, but maybe too expensive. A perfect no.10 for us!

Why is nothing happening?! - Nothing new on the sale of the club! - Nothing new on Rafas contract! - Nothing new on the transferbudget! - Nothing new on any signings! - Nothing new on the Beardsley situation! Nothing new - same shit every season! Why is nothing ever happening when Ashley is at the club. No information on anything. Can't belive he can be aloud to run the club the way he does without the fans getting more on his back and protest more against him. We have a great manager now but if he is not backed he will probably leave. If not now, he will probably leave after next season. Would take it if Rafa left the club now so Ashley could understand what a misstake he is doing by not backing him now. Because then the value of the club would definatly go down. Back Rafa NOW or leave our club NOW! ASHLEY OUT!!!

Hope the sponsorlogo will have the same blue colour as the blue on the badge. And of course stripes on the back with red numbers.

Nice kits again from Errea. Would love Newcastle in Errea kits!

Kinda hoped for Steve Watson to take Beardsleys job at the U23s.

He's had his time. Hasn't really produced any player for the first team, bar Dummett. Time for a change! I'm sure Rafa have someone lined up already with the contacts he has. If only Ashley could let Rafa take care of everything (transfers, academy and training facillity).

New keeper kits are ok. Not great but we've had a lot worse. Hope Dubravka has no.1 on the back. He has earned it!

All time low on the mockup front this year!? Are the leaks we've seen the real deal?

Mee Too! Would also add Errea to that list. Often have good kits, training gear, jackets and stuff!

That Arsenal 3rd kit is awful!?

Any chance of us wearing next seasons shirt today?

What's the situation with Beardsley? Is he still put on leave? I think that if Rafa stays he will get a new man in charge for the reserves and a few good new players too.

That Icland top is ok. Errea always do nice kits. Would love to see them do a Newcastle one.

Jackson Martinez has been released from his chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande and is now on a free transfer. They bought him for £37,5M and is now released! He's now 31 but must be better than what we have at the moment. Was very prolific at Porto a couple of seasons ago and we've been linked with him many times before. Someone to consider as an early transfer in the summer?

That looks good. But I would swap Murphy for Atsu.

Would potentially f*** up morale in the final, critical part of the season. Rafa not willing to take the risk, I'd say. Yeah, he probably would. But at the same time we don't have any player with that quality in the final third (maybe Kenedy?). If it's worth the gamble I don't know.

Nasri is out of contract and could sign on a free transfer. I know he's a tw*t but could be exactly what we need as a #10. Short term contract for the rest of the season.

Just buy him then!?? ...or Sandro Ramirez.

This team would've been canny: Darlow Hayden Lascelles Dummett Yedlin Kenedy Shelvey Merino Luan Ayoze Batshuayi Not going to happen though...?

Nobby Solano had it for a while.

I also wonder if he is thinking about a 3 at the back / 5 at the back system, utilising Kenedy and Yedlin as wing backs. Again it's an extra formational option that isn't really a possibility with Dummett or Manquillo. That's what I would like to see. Mbemba, Lascelles, Dummett as centerbacks and Yedlin and Kenedy as wingbacks.

I'm with you there. But the asking price and the low bid is there now and it's time for the next step. In this case Ashley is very stubborn and are ready to walk away. I don't say she has to pay the full asking price but she must now know what it will take, so go ahead and offer it or leave it. If it were me. I'd get the correspondents and make them public (taking out the bits which would get her into trouble). Mike Ashley said he wants this. (Show the email). I've bid this. (Show the email again). Balls in his court. If he doesn't accept his own asking price... there will be a strongly worded letter heading it's way South. But she haven't made a bid that's the same as the asking price.
