The Prophet

For any budding scouts.

According to Waugh we'll assess our new Greek keeper before deciding whether to move for another.

You're misrepresentating my original point though. I was responding to a post about whether these signings would be a good fit for Newcastle. At this moment in time, given our overall squad needs, along with the prices and wages involved, they'd be non-starters. It wasn't a comment about Man United.

Seems like a non-starter based on this alone. It seems TalkSport, Bailey and Nickson all have a similar source, they all tend to break at a similar time.

I'll bite. Your commercial revenue far exceeds our own. We're hamstring because PSR is preventing us from growing, as opposed to poor spending and an enormous wage bill. Yes, last season we spent circa £30-£35 million on full backs who weren't instant starters, but it's not £100 million and I can guarantee their wages won't be as high. Don't get me wrong, if Yoro fulfills his potential he'll be far better than Schar, but it sounds like he'll need to time and patience to develop and play through his errors.

Brexit Eddie showing he isn't ruthless again. It won't be long before PIF take matters into their own hands, they don't tolerate second best.

It'll be good to hear from the main man again.

Depends on the fit. We're not in a position to be spending £50 million plus on an understudy for Schar, we'd probably feel obliged to start him at the price. By all accounts he's very talented, but still has a lot to learn I've seen more of Zirkzee, really interested to see how he gets on. Looks a good footballer, but not an out and out goalscorer. He'd definitely offer us another dimension off the bench but we'd need to upgrade Almiron to get the best from him.

Fucks sake, I'm going to bed.

Aye, but did he have any wheel analogies?

Ornstein saying Liverpool were interested, but not at the fee and couldn't guarantee first team football.

I saw Savio signed for City. Any chance Bobb is available?

By all accounts he's very talented but very raw. Over to ten Bald...

They're getting a good arse kissing from the client journos. Maybe see if he's any good before you get on your knees?

Oh this was in the Athletic this morning. Nor that it means much.

They allegedly want a couple in by the time we fly to Japan, which is a week on Sunday. You'd imagine the wait for news won't go on too much longer.

He's in front of the press tomorrow, he's guaranteed to be asked about it. Not that you can take anything he says at face value like.

Hey Will.

Why are Twitter discussing Kang-in Lee. Is it off the back of that alleged bid that PSG rejected?

Aye, but it'll almost certainly be leaked by the victors.

A bit worried he's a flash in Japan.
