Barnes has seen something the others haven't!

Joined on loan in 99 from Deportivo. Here’s some quotes from him re his time here "I have special memories of my year at Newcastle and still speak about it quite a lot. I'm still in touch with a lot of the boys from that time, I speak with Nobby Solano a lot, a few weeks ago I spoke with Alan Shearer and people like Rob Lee and Shay Given now and again. It was a good time for me to play under Bobby Robson and I was part of the team at a time when they needed help but already had good players. Once the phone went and Bobby called me, I accepted straight away. I knew him from Portugal because he was very successful with not just Sporting Lisbon but also FC Porto. He remembered me from my time at Benfica even though I'd had a long break through an injury. He gave me my opportunity to resume my career. I was able to play again, be part of the Premier League and be part of a prestigious and historic club like Newcastle. For me, it was a fantastic time in my life." What 12 games, 1 goal but it was a priceless goal and well worth the £500k loan fee we paid for him - the goal coming against the unwashed from down the A19!

Baggy was the thing.

If they are not chasing the money, I can’t understand why more don’t want to play under him. But yeah the money.

Eddie Howe hands = safe hands.

" One of the really enjoyable things about watching Tonali play is how everything he does is “in motion”. It’s all part of progressing the play, immediately moving onto the next action so that everything looks continuous. It’s next level ability" Him and Bruno are in our team and they love us.

As Newcastle look to kickstart their season with a win over Wanderers at a packed-out St James' Park, Woltemade can't wait to repay the faith shown in him by new boss Eddie Howe. Woltemade said: "Even though it was the first meeting it felt like I'd known him a long time. "It just felt really good. We were laughing and talking (like friends). "It was just about football, and that is important to me, to feel good. If I have a person like that, where I can feel good and feel myself, it's good. "When you can talk with your coach, not just about football, that is so important." The 6ft 6in striker had spoken to Howe over a video link during initial transfer talks and when opening up on his first meeting said: "When I met Eddie in person, I said: 'Don't be shocked, I'm really tall!' But when I met him, I felt really happy, it didn't feel like the first time. "I don't know the players personally yet, but I have met them and they have been really good to me. I am now just looking forward to playing with them."

No as that house will be taken down brick by brick and the foundations grassed over. Like an unmarked grave. Where the dogs will come to crap and piss.

If it’s him, let’s hope so. Some confidence & stability re these positions is long overdue. Get Wilson in and kick on.

Yes, available for European competition.

He on here?

He seems to have the tools. Hopefully Eddie can help him find his best form. Gradual introduction seems to be the way to go.

I didn’t, but I will now

Yeah and Wissa still banging them in and running round like a whippet at 33

Just had time to watch the video. I warm to him. Excited to see the fruits of his labours.

Just get Bruno and his Dad to drive him around the sites in his taxi.

Shirley thread title should be DR Congo's Yoane Wissa.

Hadn't noticed but yeah. They can fook off he's ours
