Genuinely think we should pull the plug on this deal if we can’t get a cm replacement in. We’re an injury away from a infamous Schar cdm game.

What a guy

Jorginho to Arsenal is such a perfect deal man. I’m convinced the Brighton lad is vastly over priced so they may save themselves a fortune.

Will be disappointed if we don’t sign a cm today because i’m greedy.

Forgot about this

He’s also got a half decent shot from distance unlike any of our other centre mids

Came to say this. One of the best fullbacks I’ve ever seen.

Aye. Sign him or don’t and move on.

Has he done anything since he left?

I’ll be sad when he’s leaving but it’s probably the right time given his wages and contract situation. I do think he’s under appreciated by a lot of the fan base as any upturn in form we’ve had he’s usually been an important cog in it - he’s an easy scapegoat when things don’t go well as he isn’t one of those all action players. He’s had some huge games for us. The Man U victory on Dubravka’s debut really stands out. He dominated Pogba. He’s also really bought into the North East and loves the area. Assuming we get to a final and finish well in the league I think he deserves to be part of the first Newcastle squad to potentially achieve something in decades. That said, the decision seems to be his. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the right decision for the club and financially probably for him too but feel he deserves more respect. People buzzing he’s leaving feels a seems a bit shan

Will be sad to see him go if it happens.

Pleased with this one. Seems a no brainer at that fee.

I’ve totally u-turned on this transfer like the complete fickle mug of a fan that I am. I’m a sucker for a new signing and now think he’ll be good. Based on nothing at all I should add.

Signing Madison this window would be a massive statement of intent. Can’t see it happening but wow!

Was that when Sissoko put in the worst outfield performance in living memory? If it’s the game im thinking of I was sat behind the dugout while he was playing right midfield and I watched him amble about completely disinterested for the entire half. We nearly scored late on as well and it would have been a robbery.

I’m assuming this has been answered already but did he play for Everton in the carabao cup?

… may have slightly exaggerated that

I’m pretty sure every single one of us that thinks he’s shite and we’ve overpaid will be absolutely buzzing if he turns out to be great. Hopefully he’s given a fair crack of the whip

The only positive way I can spin this is I used to have a friend who was a massive Everton fan. When Stones wanted to leave he was absolutely shit and overrated according to him and it seems to be a bit of a theme from their fan base. I’m hoping that’s the case with Gordon.

Saying the same as everyone but Everton have got the better deal here. He’s got to improve a lot to justify that fee and it’s a big one for a club in FFP turmoil. No one else was gonna pay that. Despite thinking he’s shite I’ll give him a fair shot from now on as I’m sure everyone else will. If he’s the only incoming it’s a missed opportunity for us to ensure European football though - it’d be very underwhelming when so many others are strengthening.

I’d honestly forgotten about him. I bet he’s on good wages given he signed on a free.
