Toon No9

For the other teams it is. We're the Grim Reaper, man!

Good to see him getting some minutes! It will do him good and he will learn so much from it. Going to be a good player for sure.

Gordon coming on now.

I'd say we should go full strength for this. If we can get past Man City it's a bigger chance to win this cup than the Champions League.

Our man I hope? ?

Would have loved it if he had scored his first goal today. Really good game from him though!

Longstaff has been really good the last few games. Our midfield is so much better when he and Bruno plays together.

Yeah, we're competing again!

First of many to come I hope.

Isak scoring for Sweden!?

Problem today was that we should have played two defensive midfielders and one infront of them. Brighton pushed up one of their midfielders(Gross) and that made Bruno have to mark two, or at times Burn to mark both Gross and Ferguson.

Would say none of thoose teams in the group are better than Man City or Liverpool, and we weren't far away from beating both of them in the last couple of weeks.

Or just bring David Batty back!

Maybe try Joelinton as the defensive midfielder and play Bruno and Tonali in front of him?

But all the others are quite bad actually. To be fair almost all of the Castore kits have been good disigned, even though the quality has been not so good.

Joelinho?

In Sweden you can see the game through Aftonbladet if you're a plus member.

Strange that Miley's wearing 67. Should have a lower number imo.

2-1, early goal by Isak, Diaby equalizer and a winning goal from sub Anderson in the last 10 mins. Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Tonali Bruno Big Joe Almiron Isak Barnes

Not acording to Richard Masters: "Premier League regulations state that every deal that is agreed above the value of £1m have to be checked to ensure they do not exceed ‘market value’, regardless of whether associated parties are involved or not."

If we put it the other way around, when we bid for a player the price always seems to go up because our owners is mega rich. Is that setting a fair price acording to market value? For example the Livramento negotiating. We start with a bid for £12M, we've said to have a bid of £30M turned down as Southampton asking for £50M. Is that a price of market value? Or are the PL gonna tell Southampton that they must sell for say £28M? The rules must surely go bothways? Not??‍♂️ I mean if Southampton don't want to sell they will put a high price on their player to scare the bidders away.

I think the hold up of the Barnes deal is that acording to new rules PL has to investigate the ASM deal when two clubs with the same owner is doing a deal with each other. Just to see that the price is of market value. An investigation that, I'm sure, would lead to a positive outcome for Newcastle. There is nothing strange with the fee if you look at todays market. But it takes a few days and that's extremly frustrating for us fans. Sounds on Howe that he's not to worried about it, even though he would prefer to have Barnes in the US for the training camp.

So, a few deals this summer to compare with: Mason Mount £60M Ruben Neves £48M Riyad Mahrez £30M Moussa Diaby £52M Sandro Tonali £55M Andre Onana £48M Declan Rice £105M It's also said Harvey Barnes will cost us £38M and we've had a bid of £30M for Tino Livramento turned down, as Southampton value him at £50M. So then to say that Newcastle are putting an unrealistic high price for Allan Saint-Maximin at £30M is just ridiculous!

He's becoming an expensive back-up player...?

Who's Saint-Maximi??
