Probably on wages that would break our wage structure i would have thought

I mean kane annoys us all too, he keeps doing this illegal rugby tackle that is really dangerous and refs dont do anything in league, and scissor tackling. Swear every season we lose a game he should be sent off in. Good for england mind!

When you're in champions league, you just won league and you're ac milan you can get plenty of defenders. if you cant somethng is wrong.

There are plenty of defenders to go round, i dunno if you miss out on a player a competant club looks for more, this narrative of victory in transfer is kinda mad. If he had stuck to his guns to join a club that just won serie a and is in champions league would be mad and insular to think that unreasonable lol. Milan shouldnt have a problem finding a player of similar or better quality lol

Good if true. Ambition, we are so used to having none. Players should want to qualify for the champions league, even if we probably won't make it so quickly £70m hardly a bad profit lol

Can we have this gif permanently on the forum banner, feels a good middle finger to the world

I imagine we will have a late go for him or one of the ambitious targets that we are priced out of at the moment if there hasn't been converted interest from elsewhere close to end of window in case we can get substantially cheaper. I understand the club feel clubs are adding 20m or so to price tags right now cos it's us and we're rich...

That's a waste of time Steve Bruce as a kebab is just Steve Bruce

There is a huge amount of exploitation of kids strung along with hope they will get signed and then dumped after they've given up their education with little subsequent support. Plenty with good reason to feel hard done by

There may be an inexperience factor there but there may just be a still barebones backroom staff. January window was just Mandy, Howe, Nickson and that consultant dude locked in a room at all hours doing everything themselves wasn't it? Now they have Ashworth too but no CEO yet. The staff carried over were minimal as is and have experience scrabbling for bargains not dealing with big agents. It will take time.

I suspect a bit is to see if player will fire agent or drop all demands then maybe comes alive again but no more effort from our end. I dont think it will happen

Good. Can't allow ourselves to fleeced, plenty of agents will try

I know reasons why that might be teh case but god that would definitely be one of my top priorities. I know he was good under Howe but he has good patches, he cannot be relied upon.

Yeah I think may come alive if noone else is in for them later in window but I would be minded now to leave offers on table (unless alternative found) and stop wasting energy chasing them and move on.

I would much prefer a keeper who was good with his feet tbh but still decent price for him and will hopefully be a bigger presence in box

Aye bit disappointing. Do think they need 2 proper midfielders before anymore tricky attackers though

You can bet that they would be lobbying to be excluded from relegation due to 'historic importance to the premier league brand' and that some media types would back them up

Obvious lie

I really dont think anyone should give a shit

Oh must have been taken down, here it is

Pay linekar nurses wages and all that...

Yeah was a pretty silly analogy, but the idea that to be pure he shouldnt go does have a little weight but also is also the same argument that all newcastle fans including myself who do have some qualms about the ownership should boycott it completely. I use petrol, I use Amazon (trying to ween myself off it lol) I am a hypocrite. If you expect purity you can invalidate anyone anywheres argument about anything. As a human being Linekar is entitled to be critical of the world cup and also enjoy his job covering it and shouldnt have to apologise for taking pay he was offered by the bbc entirely of their own will.

I'm fairly sure whenever the only link a club has to a player is in relation to another club trying to sign them and says 'face competition from' and there are no other links (correct me if I'm wrong) what is almost always happening is it is leaked by the agent and it's a LOOK WHO WE COULD SELL TO THEYRE DEFINITELY TOTALLY INTERESTED HONEST move to get them to give better wage offer
