Go to every game from now on!!

Yes but not an Isak or a Tonali level Dibling / Harwood-Bellis would be a Hall and Tino type Mbeumo / Guehi would be the Tonali type Guler would be a mixture of Isak/Hall in that very young but one of the best youngsters in the world

Glad we got him over Szoboslai Much better suited to us - if we had gotten Szob - it would have meant Bruno at 6 - not his best position Tonali unlocks Bruno so we get the best of both worlds

Lascelles

Dibling yes defo - he can play across the front to be honest. I would also take another high level RW ABout time we had some bloody options. I would like a creative 10 type of player - especially for Europe. I think it was Aston Villa on the opening day last season where I last remember a strong team and a strong bench.

Yes Perhaps more than we think. I do think it'll be a proper changing of the guard. Longstaff, Wilson, Lascelles, Dubravka might all be sacrificed for new blood. Maybe even Trippier, Willock, Targett, Pope too (depending if EH wants to keep the experience) Vlach will probably go too. That's minimum 4 highly experienced players gone (6 if you include Almiron and Kelly) - with a maximum of 8. A third of the entire squad. So it'll be a proper refresh. I'm expecting 3 first team starters (GK, RW, RCB), 2 youngsters and a couple of backup types. Not sure if some of the youngsters we've gotten in will be first team ready by that point. GK: NEW Pope OR Dubravka (knowing they're no.2) Vlach (could leave) Ruddy RB: Tino Trippier (could leave) Krafth RCB: NEW Schar Lascelles (could leave) LCB: Botman Burn LB: Hall Targett (could leave) CM: Tonali Bruno Joelinton Miley NEW Willock (could leave) Longstaff (could leave) RW: NEW Murphy LW: Gordon Barnes ST: Isak NEW Wilson (could leave) Osula

Have to say it’s annoying they got Chiesa for 10m who never plays for them, he looks decent and could defo have done a job for us, depth across the front line and potentially even starting in front of Murphy

We lack the depth, but first XI I agree purples only Salah = Isak Trent = Hall Szob = Tonali Gravenberch = Joelinton Mac Allister = Bruno Diaz = Gordon VVD = Botman We don’t have an Allison, Konate. Their ST ( Jota Nunez etc are probably more highly rated than Murphy but Murphy more productive) Tino is better than Robertson a few purples in the summer and a few freebies for depth and a couple of youngsters and we can catch them up especially if Trent Salah and Van Dijk leave

This guy has got next level speed and stamina - that sprint towards the end was crazy

Yes agreed - he's above all of those characters for me - plus that 5th season was the best year of Ashley's era. Even though I hated him for the Ben Arfa treatment, he still got Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye and the others to perform to a high level that season. He's been complimentary consistently enough to know that it's authentic

He wants videos instead How about the video of Yasir saying this is the first... it's definitely not the last

Miley to score second half to have the 2025 version of Mil-Burn

Double omen Parvadeh is pronounced Pardew

Lee Carsley would have had MGW, Gomes, CHO, all the players he knew from before in. And probably deservedly so on this season's form.

If anyone was going to guess on a random Newcastle inclusion in the England squad, everyone would have said Murphy. At a push, Miley (if wanted to blood him around experienced players). Don't think anyone would have put money on Dan Burn - but he has genuinely been solid so it's well deserved. Makes me think Tuchel could be very refreshing, as a foreigner he's less naturally biased and exposed to the Southern media nonsense as much as an Englishman. Plus Tuchel has always thought highly of Newcastle as a club, even contemplating coming here before McClaren I believe? Or post Rafa, I forget which.

Last season we actually played great football apart from that patch we had tons of injuries mid season. Tons of goals. this season has definitely been worse and I think the team has regressed majorly whilst others have gotten stronger. But the fact we are still competing and playing decently is down to Howe. what that athletic article refers to is Stavely originally and everyone at NUFC now think Howe is super elite and has potential to have a lasting legacy like Ferguson. I hope he does because can’t imagine anyone else being such a good fit whilst also being a classy operator and great communicator

He was always a visionary, just misunderstood. In hindsight, his Joe Kinnear appointment was strategic, the ultimate chess move so when he appoints Steve Bruce years later, we actually appreciate him

Or even better, PIF @ St James Park for £100m a year

Disagree. He has that geordie passion so rare in a foreigner. The heartbeat of the club would let Gordon or Botman go first before Bruno, even Tino

Can see a Trippier free kick goal to immortalise him hopefully with a better result than the 2018 WC semi when he scored

PSG all is forgiven for the dodgy penalty, good job tonight

I can see us going back in for Arda Guler this summer. He hasn’t played much and we were very keen before he joined Real. Could lock off that RW spot for a decade. The wait would have been worth it.

We hammered psg 4-1 who beat Liverpool so good omens???

This is nail on head

yes, remember his embarassing interviews - i preferred it when he was a recluse We're going to put the cart on the horse or some nonsense
