Scoot

It used to really bother me years ago when other fans would say that Newcastle fans are never happy and are always complaining. These days, I totally see where they were/are coming from and take back everything I said sticking up for us. The fucking whingiest bunch of fans on the planet some of our lot!

70 million euros is the price (apparently). That's £59 million. Maybe negotiate it down slightly.

When we're not buying anyone there's people complaining, when we're (seemingly) trying to buy players, there's people complaining.

Had my fingers crossed there when I seen this thread bumped!

And the fact it's only 1 game on the Saturday rather than 2 games, 1 Friday and 1 Saturday.

Exactly. The same people twisting about Elanga will be the same people who cried about the Gordon signing only to then a year later be singing his praises whilst pretending they never said a bad word about him. Trust the manager. He's earned it.

If Eddie wants him, I'm all for it. Every player we've signed since his arrival has been a hit 1 way or another so if he wants Elanga, that's fine by me.

It's Paully

Waffle waffle waffle!

Yeah that's right. Chelsea currently in court to see what sort of little fine they have to pay UEFA. UEFA's punishments are pretty pathetic. That's why Chelsea did it.

Probably true. Not 1 of them had a clue Mitchell was leaving, it was a club statement which broke the news. But of course they all know who our targets are and how much we have to spend.

Surely time to sell the Stack to ourselves for 5 billion?

I agree

Aye, I seem to remember having to do that a couple of years ago for one of the Sela cup games. I felt under pressure and hated by everyone.

Must be allowing season ticket holders/members to buy more than just their own ticket as I've just bought 2 in my name. Edit: For the Sela Cup game against Athletico Madrid.

John Prescott?

Bet the mags are fuming again!

Luke waffling as usual.

Yeah I know but we have no idea who our targets are.

And who were our targets?

Can people stop flying off the handle every time we're linked with a player who then doesn't sign for us 99% of players we're linked with won't sign for us. Stop believing everything you read on twitter.

Off the scale mental/weird them lot. Getting noticeably worse too.

Another summer of Chelsea being linked with 100 players a week it seems...

Exactly. Such a short term view to think we wouldn't sell someone who won't play just because he's academy trained. Someone offers £10m plus, he's gone. Like I mentioned before, I remember Howe's comments from a few weeks back and it didn't sound like he thought Longstaff would be staying.
