That'd be quite the list.

Bye Steve. you've had a go and its just not good enough. Stick to being a coach and you may keep that hair.

Whilst I agree with this, the premier league is full of clubs I absolutely loath. If we were a decent ran club it'd be nice to see us get one over on a few constantly, instead of the other way round.

I think Ashley would consider selling if we spent a good few years down there, but that's the problem. We'd have to be rotting into nothingness like Leeds for him to go.

Fer's alright tbh, the two relegations probably aren't a reflection on him rather the shite he played with.... and still will.

Aye, not saying they won't be productive, but it's not as glamorous as they'd like to think. Motivation (except vs us) is a problem of theirs and these just seem to be players of the same ilk.

M'Vila hasn't settled at any club and doesn't look one bit arsed. He's got loads of ability, but the fact his stock has fallen so low that Sunderland look to be his next club says a lot.

If I had the choice i'd probs take Berahino, talented player who makes things happen. However I think the link is rubbish and we seem to be back in this situation where no-one has a clue whats going on. If Austin is our true target then i'd take him, looks the type who might thrive in a Newcastle shirt.

I think Berahino would be a better partner for Mitrovic than Austin. By a million miles. He's also a far better player in general. Only thing Austin has over him is he seems less of a mardy modern footballer type. Regardless, it matters little because we'd never pay the money to sign Berahino. Ah but Berahino is an arrogant tit whilst Austin has scored at every level he's been at. With Austin you pay for an effective goalscorer, for Berahino you're paying a higher price essentially for his potential. And personally I think it's potentially he'll never reach. Perhaps harsh, but feel he'll fall into a similar category of footballers as Scott Sinclair in a few years. So what? how about we analyse what the team needs instead of going for " goals tho!" and completely ignore the balance of the team and what would compliment what we have. Not like it matters as we won't get him, but i'm not sure why people want Austin so much when he's an extremely bad fit and would completely imbalance the team. You call it imbalance, I call it the ability to rotate/have options when the inevitable injuries and suspensions come along. If Mitrovic doesn't fire then all the pressure is on Perez and Cisse (if he stays) again. Riviere simply doesn't count. The 11 purples only routine is a failed approach, limits what a manager can do and doesn't push players who know they're guaranteed to start. This is throughout the team mind, having plenty of good options in the squad is essential. Austin may not be the most fashionable player but given the complete and utter disgrace of our last few seasons I reckon i'd take him at Newcastle.

Probably Nathan Ake.

If you'd said monitoring i'd have absolutely believed you.

Shawcross would improve us, but if he was as good as some make out I think he'd have left Stoke by now. We should have signed Aldwerweireld when we had the chance, think he's a brilliant defender, or just kept MYM and coached him better.

unreal. brings up illness issues that has literally no else mentioned and then forgets despite lifting a trophy Moncur now actively promotes a regime that does everything in its power not to win one.

Pete Graves losing his shit on twitter over fans criticising Moncur.

Gotta be Lascelles ahead of him next season, if we're daft enough to keep him.

His goal was a fine finish. We've been priced out of the Lindgard market and now this lad, poor Charnley.

How many scouts do we actually have? Carr and that other bloke?

Graham Bailey has gone all goal.com since going to ..goal.com mind. He reckoned Ashley was gonna sack Pardew and also said the Austin deal was as good as done.

We all would but it's not happening lets be honest. I just think that given the desperate plight we're in i'd take almost any half decent striker, even for giving the club and fans a lift. Balance issue's to one side, saying you wouldn't take Hernandez right now coz we've got Cisse is to me madness. I like Cisse, his goals have gotten this club outta the shit more than once, but he's injured lots and his discipline is shocking tbh. Given the choice I would keep him, although a lot of that is down to mistrust of the clowns running the show.

Aye lets not have strength in depth, not how NUFC roll.

Well Cisse was our top goalscorer and will likely leave. I reckon we could do with Hernandez. Clearly he needs good service mind. We're not really in the position to be picky with competent centre forwards imo. The team is an absolute mess.

clearly. just going off what others have been saying.

the deal is practically finalised then 20 minutes later it's off.

Daniel Wass to Celta Vigo. Another one we monitored the fuck out of.
