I remember his home debut - totally looked a player. And he's still in there...somewhere

Of course ..ta

..........who is SN?

We're at huge risk of not getting anyone else through the door by persisting in trying to get the players from Clubs that don't want to sell. I understand wanting to aim high but atm we just need players who will improve on what we have got and am sure there are plenty of other players who fit that mold.

I'm sorry to be constantly negative but this is an absolute shambles. It all started so well with Trippier but it's been all down hill since then.

More than one source reporting it https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1552828/Newcastle-Hugo-Ekitike-bid-rejected-impossible-clause-included-Premier-League-transfers

What's the latest on this one? Trying to agree a fee?

Who knows if it's true - but can't blame people questioning it.

Dunno like - we are about to be relegated to the Championship so it is kind of ridiculous. And how much of the 35 mil was if we win the Champions League? 5, 10, 20?

It would explain the lack of movement on other transfers if those are the types of add-ons being added.

He's probably right though.

He will help- but we need to sort the defence. Scoring goals hasn't been our biggest problem it's been conceding.

All good bar Shelvey- just a massive whole in CM. Needs replacing ASAP

ok Dummett is back but we've conceded far too many goals from that area. Also Richie is just a knock away.

So is it one of Botman or Carlos because we need both

I so hope we sort this before Leeds, imagine Lascelles benched

Agreed. He'll be better than every player we currently have

Does handing in a transfer request force clubs to accept a lower off? ?

Has he been injured?

They needed to identity a set of targets for each position, if their bid gets rejected - move on. We've not the time to negotiate, if we were sitting mid table it'd be different. In the Watford game we were crying out for a DM someone to control the midfield. If they had got one in we could have potentially won that game. Leeds next which is another vital game but as yet still no movement on new players. We need to be moving fast.

Bar Tripper - still no CB, still no LB, still no CM and Wood as our striker. We're two week into the window and games are passing us by. Just don't feel that they had a proper plan.

I'm starting to hate this transfer window - it is turning into an utter shambles. You don't feel like there is a cohesive plan.

Well that didn't last long
