Getting Harrison is a bit like the Targett signing imo, the other team has just strengthened that position, so may look to offload, like Digne at Villa. He's nothing flashy, but you know what you're going to get, a player who consistently puts in a shift, has good numbers, and a solid top-ten player, that will progress us and be a stepping stone player whois better then anything else we currently have.

Plus just lost there two biggest players, so another one at this point would probably be "meh" at this point

Remember the game against Burton whereby the ref (Keith Stroud) disallowed a scored Ritchie penalty to give Burton a free kick as one of their players was encroaching the box.

Worth creating a Jack Harrison thread yet?

Hope doing a Romano...

Satisfied, I'd be fucking ecstatic with that.

On a serious note, I never really took to Gayle for some reason, maybe because in the Premier League he offered nothing, but he always gave his all, never seemed discontented despite being on the fringes the last few years, and his goals got us promoted, so wish him well, it's a good step for him.

Permanent too, decent.

Would honestly take Perez for the RW slot for a year ngl

Forgot he even existed

Someone like Luton would make sense, they play decent attacking football and are a top 10 Championship side.

"I look about 40"

Neither, Matty Longstaff.

I love it when people go overboard with friendly results, it's only our second real friendly, the whole point is to iron out any kinks that appear, get the players up to match sharpness and set out a tactical plan. Mainz are also further along in there prep as it was there last pre-season game and there season starts at the weekend. Do you think Klopp was worried after getting dicked 4-0 to Man United last week? Arguably you gain more in these sorts of games, then you do if you just smash 3/4 past a championship side.

Jesus Christ, him and Colback in the same team, sends a shiver down my spine.

From what I can gather, we didn't learn anything we didn't know in this game

Almiron has looked alright over these last couple of pre-season games imo.

Glad the club is finally recognizing the contribution @Stiflerhas made in the Newcastle fandom.

He looked alright, solid and with a decent touch and passing range. I did find it amusing how his first attempted pass was an easy 10 yarder, and he kicked it straight out of play mind
