Considering David Villa didn't even manage 40 goals+assists in any of his seasons at Barca, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest you'd struggle to get anywhere close

To be fair the few years before were vile too, they just had Messi to mask it

Not even remotely subtle Has all the typical clichés in there Just shows how broken they are that one of them is going to lengths to pretend to be a Newcastle fan that's criticising our fans

And if that ever happens then he'll move if he's a good player

According to our neighbours the takeover isn't what it seems but when you list what they've done so far then I'll happily take this takeover that "isn't what it seems"

That's exactly what it is, a coping mechanism They think the appointment of the CEO is a bad sign because none of us knew who he was yesterday What they ignore to help cope with the situation is that 1) It's a role we've never had before, which shows how serious the owners are 2) His CV is credible 3) Ask the majority of football fans and they'd struggle to name more than 1 or 2 CEO's But instead they think it's "funny" and it's a true sign of the owners not being who we think they are

Again, so what He owes us absolutely nothing and it won't surprise me if we use interest in other players just to force decisions from players, so we play the game as much as anyone Think some of our fans need to develop a thicker skin, not like Bruce obviously, where he just talked about a thicker skin but in reality he was so fragile

It's crazy how a section of our fanbase is taking his rejection really badly He's allowed to make whatever decision he think is best for himself, no need to take it so personally Players have rejected us before and will reject us again Him joining PSG isn't ridiculous if you try and remove the nufc bias from the situation

I'm conflicted, on the one hand it's a role we've never had due to Ashley running us like a ghost ship, the guy is clearly credible with a solid CV but Mackems reckon we should be fuming because we've never heard of him (ignoring the fact most football fans would struggle to name more than a few CEO's)

I'm sure Amanda and Mehrdad said they'll still be involved as there is lots to do and it will allow us to move quicker

He was reportedly leaking stuff from the dressing room, obviously not sure how true that is but I remember seeing it reported last season @Froggy probably knows more on how legit the reports were

Betis have reportedly had a bid accepted for Aouar but he seemingly is holding out for a PL move His stock was at it's peak after they played City, seems to have fallen a bit but he's a lovely footballer, would happily take him here

Don't rate Kimpembe, think he's average but Koulibaly is a top signing

That's correct FFP or whatever it's called looks at the previous 3 years Would be interesting to see how they stack up though, not really had a big sale in a while but have spent big and are doing so again

Ah, ignore me then, I assumed it was 2024, must have gotten him confused with Hendrick

Disappointing but not at all surprising They aren't particularly good and are on wages beyond their actual level, so loan is the most realistic outcome Hopefully Clark loves it so much that he pushes for a move next summer with reduced wages

He's as reliable as a chocolate fireguard

This might be the best place for it https://twitter.com/iammrazul/status/1546576078109646850?t=AKPSsZ_iNpk_4pWxY-pwnw&s=19

Clark like a few others was signed to primarily get us promoted and he certainly played his part in that, he also played a part in helping us stay up to begin with It was clear he was out of his depth as each season went on but Ashley obviously saw giving him an extension as the cheaper option It's not his fault he was offered that extension so hopefully it's a case of thank him for his services, wish him well and we can move on.

Nah, I'm sure after that we regularly had "Sunlun get battered everywhere they go" but that fizzled out as they started to just draw 1-1 every week

Agreed, doesn't make us massively better off really If he does leave then I hope we are in for a younger keeper that's better than Darlow

This is a ridiculous and self harming attitude to have Gayle needs to go, for it to be on a permanent someone will need to offer close to what we pay him which is unlikely. A loan deal where some/most of his wages are covered benefits us

They obviously didn't get carried away with thinking Dell were going to buy the club, oh wait . . .

It's funny how he couldn't get away from Juve fast enough after they got worse, now seems set to do the same to Man-U. For all that he's spoken about as this mentality monster he seems to run away quick enough.

Surprised no one picked up on this part of his interview "I think Newcastle for now is the best step for me to develop myself Doesn't bother me as ultimately he's signed and as long he performs and we remain ambitious he'll be here for a while but knowing how some of our fans are I'm surprised they haven't panicked over it
