Or we’ve given him the used car salesperson routine and over promised. Hopefully it’s the former

Wouldn’t say he’s that unrealistic. Spurs fans want rid and I think Conte sees Skipp as the better fit for that role. I get the feeling he’d take 30 mil and bring in Brozovic. Regarding Hojbjerg, he’s very very good at breaking up play and recycling possession. His lack of mobility and slowness on the ball however can often mean that he’s the target of an opposition press. I reckon Spurs will want to upgrade him but for us (although I’d prefer Philips) I think he’d be a great signing!

Also rumours we’re looking at the young striker Kalimuendo from PSG. Seems very sensible; in terms of numbers, the best young prospects in European football seem to be coming from France and England. PSG in particular have a very underrated youth set-up. This is kind of what I was hoping we would do with Carr’s talent-spotting before but we didn’t have the ambition or the finances to really go for it. Really hope we do a turbo-charged version of that model with our new owners.

Indonesia by any chance?

Think his alleged lifestyle choices have had a major impact on him. Our resident coke expert HTT (safety smiley ) might have something to say about it but if rumours are to believed he’s fucked himself going that hard in the formative years of his playing career. Fwiw I hate to judge if true (it’s so prevalent nowadays, god knows I’ve dabbled); but there are such fine margins for professional athletes at this level.

Can confirm. Not back in Newcastle that often these days but witnessed firsthand him kicking off and acting like a bellend because he couldn’t park his car literally right in front of the swinging doors at the main entrance of the hotel. Caused such a fuss and really inconvenienced a load of people trying to check in. Was at it for almost an hour. I’m pretty patient when it comes to these thing but man, what an absolute tosser.

I fear for my mental health if Everton somehow manage to win this.

Sooo petty but :

Philips and swiping Coutinho off Villa would be dreamy; not hugely unrealistic either.

I like Grillitsch but Philips is perhaps the perfect midfielder to compliment Bruno imo. Would love us to sign him.

20 minutes left yet, mate.

Love that we’re still going for it.

love it. He was snarling while trying to compliment the lob.

Ooooh this could get tasty.

Bruno!

Not particularly. Norwich defenders are wearing clown shoes it seems.

Joelinton will cost us a new striker. Stop it man. He’s not even going mental either, so casual with his celebrations.

I’m welllll behind. Get in!!

No surprise our defense looks all over the place with Jamaal back there. Unless he’s winning headers, he’s a liability.

Lascelles really annoys me. So bad with the ball at his feet…

We’re looking a bit disjointed. Understandably, with all the changes I suppose.

I mean if Wood was just up front for his pressing and as an outlet for the long ball, I can’t see how Joelinton can’t be used to produce a similar effect.

A better manager and they’ll be around 12th-16th imo.

Love the sly digs at Bruce; the amount of times he uses the word professional ffs.

5) The way they treated Rafa, who was never going to take them down.
