He f***** himself during that Spurs game in May with the red, lost the managers trust despite playing well in that game and scoring a good header. His 4 game ban meant he was out of the picture and his season has never got going, I still think there is a player in there but his days here are numbered. He looks very sluggish and for whatever reason can't seem to get his head straight on the pitch, letting league 1 defenders wind him up is case in point.

Think he will go and have a good career, most likely at this level

A cobbled together team that was always likely to be s***, although we should have been 1-0 up at half time and at least level in the second with the pen by the sounds of it. It's a crap feeling this and one as NUFC fans we are accostumed to in the FA cup. Just need to move on 2 massive home games this week coming and hopefully a transfer or 2 in.

Curtis Good was an absolute bizarre selection like I take it Findlay wasn't available because he looked quite promising against Birmingham

Whoever it is it's going to drag on for another week

Caulkin has tweeted again that he's pretty certain Townsend deal is off, also says we are currently negotiating with a PL centre mid - loan to purchase deal. Says it is someone we've been linked with recently.

Cadburys Premier League from next season

Pace is one of the key things needed to break a team down who sit deep and just defend imo. Being slow, ponderous and having no pace makes it easier for a team. This lad is obviously quick, never seem him play but no reason to disbelieve a lot of people who say he's s***. Hopefully at the level we are at he'll be a decent addition until May.

He's one of their key attacking outlets, who is going to go there of genuine quality in the state they are in?

This attitude of "he left us so f*** him" is nonsense imo. His attitude and application while here was first class and clearly the manager was getting the best out of him. Aye, he's made a mistake and it's pretty obvious that his move to Palace hasn't worked out. But if Benitez likes him and wants him around then that should be good enough.

Still suprised that this could be happening, would be a great signing. Rafa seems to really like him and he just seems a good fit in how we want to play. Townsend and Ritchie either side of Gayle, with Shelvey and one of Diame/Perez in behind would be fantastic, not to mention Yedlin's pace on the right. We would be able to stretch teams far more easily, please happen.

If I was a betting man I would have a bit of that....still very likely at this point because we are not convincing despite yesterday's scoreline. Difficult games coming up and a couple of decent signings would make it less likely... It's 'very likely' we will finish outside the top 2? Of course it's a possibility but it's unlikely. Given our current points tally, goal difference and squad. History suggests 2 points per game will see you home, well on course for that.

K-Knockeart. Shut the f*** up man

Haunted to f*** ower here like

Sounds like he's never been away, gives an effortless performance. Keep him right for the rest of the season we'll win the league. He is that important to us

Get in, would love a good run in this. The league cup run coincided with our 9 game winning streak so hopefully more of the same. Plus no poxy warm weather training camp bollocks during 4th round weekend

Wish Tiote would just hurry up and leave

Sounds like Findlay is the stand out player of the 3 youngsters

Find that worrying like, any Newcastle fan should.

We won't be able to buy him so it would be a loan, it just seems impossible. He starts games for Palace who are looking to strengthen their squad, not weaken it. Loaning Townsend to us this window seems completely implausible, won't happen.

Rafa will say in his press conference tomorrow you'd imagine

Another good away win churned out, sort our home form out and we will be there. The return of Shelvey is massive in that respect.

We wanted Galloway. What is worrying is he's been to the last 2 games, then this £33 million story surfaced. This article probably won't be bang on but the truth maybe somewhere in the middle. Uncertainty and doubts around our policy is the last thing we need at this time of the season.

This Townsend rumour is so bizarre, he's starting games for Palace and they need to keep their players for a relegation battle. Absolute zero chance of this happening imo
