I’d love him to be the super sub we bring on against tired legs and to sign a marquee RW it’s a shame we went into last summer thinking we were only a RW GK and back up striker away from great things with Isaks nonsense and the signings we are further away than we’ve been in a while. Serviceable PL players cost 30-40m first team ones cost 50-60 marquee ones cost 70-80m we need marquee striker RW first team GK DM serviceable LB RB all assuming no one leaves if Tino or Tonali leave then add rb and CM to first team or even marquee

Any reports from Spain about what they thought about Newcastle overall - across the two games. Obviously they’ll be pleased but is it one of arrogance or mutual respect knowing that they were in a competitive game for 75% of the tie?

Honestly don’t understand where Wissa is

Could be Toni Like Toni Braxton the harder one is if it’s Sven Botman

Club World Cup - in the new format is probably higher than Conference League now - just due to the calibre of teams in it. Agree with it if it was the previous format

What does that line about Thiaw say?

Sadly can see Liverpool all over that as Van Dijk replacement Without CL we may struggle with top tier this summer

Is that lamine camera a pure DM? That would be interesting with him at 6 and then Bruno Tonali Miley Ramsey or Joelinton as the 8’s

I think Spurs going down would officially make NUFC the sixth member of the big 6 unless Villa get CL - it may be that they get it instead or do you think it’ll go back to being a big 5

We need a LB and GK too Double deal with Alikouche please

OMG yes. Although I bet Arsenal go in for him

We do need these kind of numbers to be in with contention of 7th

Wow - had forgotten about a lot of those moments. Unplayable on his day. Hardly wasted the ball - and it wasn't just his dribbling, his vision and passing were amazing too, as was his strength on the call - he was hard to push off the ball. He needed a Keegan who would have built the team around him.

Surely play Wissa from the start for this one? He should have fresh legs in theory Tonali may need a rest - perhaps put Willock there and Elanga on LW, Murphy on RW Also Tino should be good to start this, put A. Murphy at LB (but he may struggle against Estevao so ok if Burn goes there and Thiaw and Botman in the middle)

I would play that crappy Amorim formation just so we can get both Beardsley and Ben Arfa as number 10s behind Shearer Given Coloccini Schar Woodgate Solano (RWB) Hall (LWB) Bruno Batty Ben Arfa Beardsley Shearer Subs: Krul/Pope Burn/Botman Tino/Domi Cabaye/Tonali Ginola/ Robert Ba/Isak

Saw a tiktok where a football fan attended the europa league final (probably at Chelsea) and ended up sitting next to Rafa Benitez and was gushing saying how it was the best conversation ever and how knowledgeable Rafa was and how he told him things that he made him promise he couldn’t repeat. Such as he was close to getting the Juve job. But he’s doing it now because Rafas since told a lot of those stories on various podcasts

Play Burn at LB or Tino? Or Murphy?

They would also hardly score

He's our equivalent to Adam Johnson at Sunderland

Alan Smith has to be up there

Yes wouldn't mind a couple of their players plus money. Trafford Khusanov Gonzalez Savinho Doku Echeverri Nypan Reinjders 2 or 3 from this list would be great - none of them are starters Would even do a straight swap with Marmoush or Cherki

We need a 1997 esque run to the final, just once bring on the Stevenage and Sheffield United in the semi finals we never get any luck at all

Why can’t Barnes play CF instead of Gordon out of interest? much better finisher and less defensively sound on the wing than Gordon surely makes more sense?

We weren’t outbid for any of Pedro, Ekitike and Sesko. The player just preferred the alternative. The most annoying one is Ekitike because he’s an Isak regen and he would have come given the consistency we’ve shown in interest in him. Any one of them and it’s looking like a different season entirely because all are more suitable than Wolt Wissa Gordon Osula up front
