My god please don’t go any where near Nunez.

If you had a choice between PIF giving us big money for one of dispensable players or us getting some of their superstar players on the cheap which would you prefer?

Could be Wilson's replacement? A nice young CF to support Isak. Osula out on loan. I'd be very happy with that.

Imagine Ben Arfa's talent with Almiron's work ethic To quote Rio.....Ballon D'Or

He would be a like-for-like replacement for Willock

Agreed, we’ve gone for a different strategy designed to have us competing at the top. Elite superstars coupled with high potnential youngsters. Quality over quantity. Hence now why Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon are coveted. Villa have got good but not great players. Other than Martinez I’m not sure I’d swap any players in their respective starting XI with ours

Has become our Kieron Dyer pacy and versatile CM but always injured (Dyer was a much better player though)

What I don't get is that NUFC are genuinely an exciting project, ambitious owners, deep pockets, trying to become those clubs that win. Elite potential. With some of the others, Bournemouth, Brighton etc - it's not quite their business model, or sustainable etc. But it is for us. It's like Ashley's NUFC has become the stereotype version of Newcastle, not Keegan's. For me, Keegan's NUFC represents what Newcastle is supposed to be about. What we're doing now, is finishing the job Keegan started.

I bet they bloody are

Good shout - a Jonas is about right. Not the best, certainly not the worst and always gave his all. Tbh - I would have liked to have seen him under Rafa in that central or LW role for one more season at least - he had an explosiveness that first season. But got injured and then Rafa left.

Murphy is to Isak this season what Willock was previously

Miggy miggy miggy Can't you see the lack of a right foot is why they criticise me Miggy miggy miggy Can't you see thanks for the purple patch, hard work and the goal against P-S-G

Spot on the worst thing Ashley didn’t even seem to care about making money eithet, through the club. So there was literally no point to anything. NUFC just existed to promote sports direct

Forest losing 5-0 is like our Pardew season where we lost some games heavily and had a low GD at the end Forests is only 6 at the moment despite their high points total

Proper PlayStation FIFA type of goals for

What’s really annoying is that Man C and Chelsea operating in the same market as us, highly rated young gems that could develop into elite talents. So you can’t compete on that level given their huge revenue advantages not even mentioning their academies. At least Man U, Liverpool and the others tend to have a different strategy for more established players.

How about Saud James Park?

Just believe brother.

No - would hate him to go to Liverpool tbh - more than Arsenal. If anyone in the PL - Chelsea. They never really become part of the club - like Ba - and would forever reminisce about NUFC. They could afford it too.

Sign him as Almiron's replacement on RW until the summer Not even joking.

100% Need to get probably 5-6 first teamers to properly refresh the squad and add more youth and pace. 1-2 purples (P) 1-2 squad (mid) players (S) 1-2 youngsters (Y) GK - Y (Trafford) RW - P - (Mbuemo, Kubo or that level) RCB - P - (Guehi, Tapsoba or that level) CF - S (Delap) CB - Y/S (Harwood-Bellis or similar) AM - Y (McAtee or Dibling) Would set us up for next year nicely with talent across the park, nice blend of youth and experience.

Offer Longstaff in exchange + 35m. Lascelles even. Both would be good in a promotion winning side. If we wait until summer he'll go elsewhere. Now is the time.

Ahhh ok didn't realise that - I thought it was 10 points max as that's what the precedent had been.

Why don't we just go crazy for one summer. Do a PIF special - £500m. Kit out the team fully - everything needed. Even if there's a transfer embargo. Look to win the cups or CL the year after - even if we get a PL fine and points deductio, we can try and get Europe another way. It just feels frustrating that there is literally no movement and everything takes forever - even the sales. How do other clubs act so fast?

It's extremely annoying that Man City, in one window have picked up ALL the young CB's we were looking at - Khusanov, Juma Bah and Victor Reis. That's proper FM hoarding tactics. Between Chelsea and Man City - how is anyone supposed to compete for any young player? The numbers are eye watering - Khusanov was bought for £84,000 - was linked with us for under £20m but went for £34m. We bought Botman for that - who was much more developed. It used to be you could buy 5 or 6 PL players in a summer - top end was £10-15m. Even the summer we bought Mitrovic and Wijnaldum, we spent £80m or so but 4 or 5 top class young players. Now - £80m gets you 1, maybe 2 players at the most. You're not actually allowed to rebuild your team at the right level. It doesn't even make sense.
