Hope he plays today. Such a joy to watch. Imagine how it will be in a few years when we have 11 players on the pitch that are on his level

High line against us could work to our advantage though. Fraser and ASM looking to get in behind with a through ball from Bruno

One on one from the halfway line MLS style

? (please don't be seriously injured)

Why's he got a picture of Hitler on his wall?

"ok listen so we know he's got a release clause of 10m and if you don't accept our offer of 8m we'll come back and give you 10m ok?" "So what do you say"?

Heard a lot about him in the past but never seen him play. Can I have a scout report please.

Deadline day is going to be absolutely crazy for us. I think there's every chance we'll be that club that loses out on a player because the clock has ran out. I think that will be the day when we make a marque signing though, just hopefully not the one that applies to the above

Where did all their money suddenly come from? And its basically all gone now right?

Nearly as bad as Martial clause of winning the ballon d'or. That still helped the sale

Hit 7 golas and 6 golas twice already in games this season. Is it their squad or their manager making them an absolute goal machine team? Fans must be loving it

Lascelles man absolutely terrible. No awareness and a liability. We need a whole new midfield to even have a chance of staying up. Can't see it happening and can't see us staying up. We don't deserve to stay up anyway let's be honest, we are without doubt one of the bottom 3 teams in the league and have been the entire season. Can't beat Cambridge or Watford at home. That's so fucking bad.

This. The quality of his crossing we need to utilise. We have no decent attacker who's good in the air, nearest being joelinton. This will be a feast for Wood.

Never mind prime Shola, moments Shola is what you need. Not many of them mind.

Cantwell was absolute class for Norwich, a creator and a goalscorer. A lot of my mates are Norwich fans and they're just bitter because he got in a strop, blaming him instead of the club/manager. Nobody really knows what's happened behind the scenes. We need a creative player though, and lots of them, so would be happy if we bring him in.

It's hindsight obviously but we really should have had a striker lined up to be signed on the day the transfer window opened. We have problems all over the squad but it was clear that an injury to Wilson would be an absolute disaster. It didn't have to be a marque signing, just a proven out and out striker. We had plenty of time to get this done.

Mate said to me tonight, "getting pissed off with Newcastle, all I hear is them being linked with every player on all the media and TV channels" Gonna keep an eye on him as the transfer window has only been open 7 days. I guess 10+ years with no mentions in any transfer window kind of makes people forget

Reliable as in PIF have walked away and the deal is dead? That went well.

On the plus side this will only help us in the future ironically, once we get to the level we aim to be at, no other club outside the current big 6 will be able to even have a hope of keeping up. They're trying to stop us from being a big spending top club but it's inevitable, our owners want it and so do one of the biggest investment funds in the World. You can't stop it and the clubs are just killing themselves in order to scratch us, it's ridiculous and what football has become. Will this rule now encourage sugar daddy type owners to buy the likes of Watford or Leeds and turn them into a powerhouse? No. Ironically they want a better future for their club.

He is. Been said before but I can't think of anyone who is more reliable than him. He has contacts all over Europe. His "here we go" is a done deal.

Thing is though if we're in the league we could get legal teams involved to see if we would have a case etc. If we're not at the table there's literally nothing we can do except sit back and watch. I guess only Man City would "be on our side"

If we do go down you can bet the PL and all the clubs will be passing new rules left, right and centre to stop our owners plowing money into the club. As we won't be at the table any more I think they'll really tighten things up. It won't be impossible of course but you can bet they'll do everything they can to slow our spending power for when we come back into the league.

Bet he's going crazy locked in a hotel room. Walls covered in tactical analysis and player stats while rocking back and forth on the end of his bed repeatedly saying "Hendrick is not an option"

I'm actually feeling positive we'll be ok. Do we look like a team certain for relegation, no imo, we've been very very unlucky even with the cabbage as manager. We'll be a lot more organised now and play with more attacking intent and desire. Will we strengthen in January, of course we will, this will be massive as if we bring in the right players who settle in quickly, games that we would lose with this squad we can draw and games that we would draw we can win. Also looking at the table we're roughly 6 points behind Southampton, Brentford, Villa, Watford and Leeds. Can we make up 6 points on any or all those teams over the remainder of this season, I think so. We really need more goalscorers though, especially from centre midfield.
