They must be mates otherwise with the amount of love heart eyes and the frequency it’s a bit

Remember being linked with him when he was out of favour at Barca, we were linked in early days of PIF. A few times as I recall. Howe would have gotten him this Ballon D'or sooner https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/newcastle-plotting-sensational-swoop-for-barcelona-star-ousmane-dembele-report-transfers-gossip-signings-nufc https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/17184048/newcastle-make-ousmane-dembele-transfer-offer-barcelona-wages/

Was good to see Lascelles back

We’ve tried two of the biggest names i don’t mind a smaller a name as long as they get the job done and have a good track record hes gotten plenty of good business done at forest giles at Brentford would also be good he negotiated for Wissa well

Have to say Pardew should thank his lucky stars we got Bruce. It's really shown there are levels to crapness. He was bad but he was nowhere near Bruce bad, that's as bad as it gets for me

Some clubs don't have ceilings.

Harvey Barnes cost us £38m. Seems as though Murphy is worth at least that given his productivity. We do need more flair and technical trickery in the team - otherwise we are far too predictable. Can't outmuscle or outpower every club - our players have limitations too. Tonali, Bruno, Wolt, Schar, Hall, perhaps Botman, Thiaw too. They are our 'technical' players - and damningly, only Wolt and perhaps Bruno are forward players.

Agreed Leao or Savinho please. Would be fine with either of Gordon or Barnes going, perhaps even both

At least his name isn't Steve

Will he or Wolt he?

Spot on As was Havertz who hasn't been great, as was Timo Werner

Sickening

A shame Wissa got injured as they would dovetail beautifully

True and not even sure Isak would have buried that, heading wasn't his forte

someone should do a Isak Vs Pedro Vs Ekitike Vs Sesko Vs Delap Vs Woltemade Vs Wissa tracker Would be interesting to see how it all unfolds Perhaps same with Kudus Vs Mbuemo Vs Elanga vs Semenyo

What has he said?

This was the first choice front three when this bloke first signed. We should not have any complaints when Barnes or Gordon or Elanga have a bad day

On this showing tho, were going to have similar depth problems to last year. The team just isn't that strong in the key areas. Something happen to Bruno or Tonali or one of the two main strikers and there's a lack of options. GK, CB, RW, LW we're ok and all of the players are a much of a muchness, there's no real drop off as the players are of similar quality. At CM, the big three Vs the replacements are huge drop offs. FB is ok but relies on having only one injury. If two injuries the drop off is big. At CF if one of the big two are out like today the replacement is a huge drop off.

We should have bought Miley on for Bruno after 70 mins or so. Willock looked decent I thought. Such a similar profile to Ramsey.

Barnes genuinely does look like he's struggling not sharp at all Livra has lost it a fair few times too

I was too young for Liverpools dominance of the 80s but grew up amongst smug Man U fans. It hasn't taken Liverpool long at all to be the worst of the worst smug arrogant fanbase of all time. They've won one title and acting worse than Man City or Chelsea in their period of dominance. Horrible. Even Man U were never this bad or at least were less infuriating

It would have to be 50m plus Leao

Agreed with everything here But I also think Keegan would have worked very well with him, he told Beresford to work twice as hard to make up for Ginolas work ethic. Keegan loved flair players and in an alternative timeline, when he was here in 2008, he would have stayed and signed HBA to be his Beardsley/Ginola

He would have loved it under McClaren - no discipline, can do whatever he wants etc Wouldn't have minded it personally - he was way better than Cabella and Thauvin and all the other wasters we signed to try and replace his magic Agree he's levels above Taraabt, annoys me they're both considered 'streets wouldn't forget' players in equal measure and that's all
