Deuce

The players we’d have wanted to sell to Saudi are not players wanted by Saudi. Isaac Hayden ain’t exactly Franck Kessie.

We’ll bid, Chelsea will swoop in, and he’ll be a Blue.

Gonna be laughs when he strings both of us along and ends up staying at Leipzig

Isn’t Jackson blindingly fast, too? Think of a counter attack with him, Elanga, and Gordon flying up the pitch.

Can definitely see why Arsenal fucked him off for Gyokeres

Also think we get waaaay too hung up on wanting players that truly, deeply want us back. You’ll get the odd Ramsdale who seems to genuinely be jazzed about putting on the kit, but it really doesn’t work that way for most players. Even someone like Wissa, who “only wants NUFC” probably doesn’t much care about joining NUFC for the club itself, but because we can offer him CL football and higher wages.

Sure, but he’s also just 22 years-old.

I’ve not gotten the impression that the player’s “only wanted” any particular club tbh. We’ve been in pole position, and then manufactured interest in/from ManU started popping up. Plus, Sesko is his agent’s only real meal ticket. The dude represents a bunch of nobodies otherwise.

this thread creeping up the page every time there’s bad news

Reckon Sesko’s agent is the real villain here.

“Newcastle and United” oh Fab you are a star.

*NUFC negotiating team submits highest bid for player* “worthless fucking CUNTS”

Didn’t even see that post initially

Unconfirmed, too

Is there any evidence that ManU are actually in for him? Or are Leipzig just peacocking?

It’s also just a turn of phrase in a tweet, mind. We’ve thoroughly scouted him already no doubt.

*Mike Bassett klaxon*

In the post-Given era… 1. Pope 2. Krul 3. Dubravka 4. Harper the rest aren’t worth ranking

Get this sick filth across the line. Tell Isak we need one more season from him. Sit the lads down and hit ‘em with:

Gonna be furious when we buy him off City for £50m next summer

It’s kinda moot, though. We weren’t gonna sneak him past City (maybe last summer we could’ve, but not now).

Not shelling out £40m on Trafford makes a big difference though

now THAT is a meal ticket if I’ve ever seen one

We already bought our Dibling: https://newcastle-online.org/topic/38344-antonio-antoñito-cordero-joins-westerlo-on-season-long-loan-official/page/11/
