Aye, we've had offers accepted for Delap, Pedro, Ekitike and Sesko tbf

Correct James. It's pronounced Viper

Looking at our reserve team, you think it's quite decent and filled with quite a few signings we've made in the last couple of seasons, but we're just absolutely miles off it still when you compare to the likes of Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal etc

I never understood why he was seen as a bad option tbh. People were twerking over Ekitike and Sesko, but I bet if Jackson signed for us he'd score more than both of them this season. There's a reason several clubs are supposedly interested - he's a good young player with a lot of good attributes. He's not as good as Isak but we aren't realistically able to sign anyone who is

Has Douglas ever been right about a transfer? He never seems to get any scoops, not sure he has great contacts at the club tbh

It winds me up no end when he's antagonising Newcastle fans, but when he's winding up opposition fans on Newcastle's behalf it is a good watch tbf

I live in York but I'm considering getting the train up to watch this in a pub in Newcastle. It's almost got a cup final feel about it. Absolutely desperate to hammer these twats, the players are going to be so up for this

The "Liverpool FC" bit at the end of Romano's tweet was fucking ridiculous like. Guess who currently owns him, pays him every week, and can decide what to do with him Fabrizio? Newcastle United FC. Now fuck off you detestable cunt

Yeah my opinion would be to not having anything that directly addresses Isak. Keep it positive around the team and club being together. We Are United would do

It's defo Willock. Big pals with Isak and thick as mince

It's just the same situation we had with Anderson isn't it. He probably didn't want to move and Villa didn't want to sell him, but they had to due to their PSR situation. Anderson has gone from strength to strength though and it was probably actually better for him career wise to make the move, hopefully it will be the same for Ramsey here

What's the likelihood that 5th in the PL will be Champions League this season?

The whole "we win that if Isak plays" is a bit weird, as the whole team dynamic is different when Gordon starts up front and the game could have turned out completely differently as a result

Tonali was still training the whole time with the first team though wasn't he. I imagine the training Isak is doing is lower intensity

Having Thiaw should push Schar to new heights this season, he seems that sort of character. Last season he basically knew he was first choice for every game if fit, but having that competition with Thiaw now I reckon will do wonders for him

I think he's improved a lot on the ball in the last 12 months. Doesn't go for anything too ambitious, but he hardly ever misplaces a pass now, and he turned out of some awkward situations really well yesterday. Love him

Phwoar. Look at the big handsome bastards

Plus Lascelles, Krafth and Targett who at a push could come in and do a job in case of an injury crisis, with the young 'uns like Park, Neave, Hernes, Sanusi, Shahar, A Murphy etc to fill the bench

When's the deadline for registering your 25 man squad for the season - presumably just after the transfer window closes? If Ramsey signs, we must be pretty close to that 25-man limit now?

Good signing this. He's perfect for that left sided midfielder role. If Isak wasn't being a cunt this would be a good window - we've got a really strong first eleven and we've upgraded our squad by adding Elanga and Thiaw, then replacing Dubravka with Ramsdale and Longstaff with Ramsey

For example, here's Joelinton compared to midfielders. If you look purely at the numbers rather than percentiles, a lot of Ramsey's numbers are actually quite decent compared to Big Joe

Is he not more of a centre mid? Would probably be better to compare with other centre mods rather than attacking mids and wingers

Have we got a sell on?

Class, get him in

Where does El-Khannouss usually play? In a midfield 3 or as a number 10 in a 4-2-3-1?
