I think people under value Gordon massively we'll miss him if he goes this summer (which looks likely). He's a full backs dream as he always drops in and is a willing option for Hall etc. We haven't had that in forever. He then opens up the pitch driving inside after receiving ball to feet. I do agree that he isn't the correct profile to work with Woltemade though. I think Nick would be better suited with more an inside forward style either side of him. My worry with Nick is I just can't see him ever getting to grips with the Premier League. He doesn't have the aggression or the tenacity and that's before mentioning his lack of pace.

Was on about this last night with a mate. Everyone naming players to come in to replace Sandro if he leaves. If it was up to me I wouldn't look to sign an out and out starter. I'd be determined to give Miley a chance there in that role and see if he flourishes which I'm confident he will. Im afraid if we pay top money for a replacement Miley will get buried again when I think next season he needs to play 80% of the games in a specific role and let him develop. None of this squeezing him in at RB or various roles in midfield here and there. I don't think that will do him any good at all. Look at what Forest done with Anderson and it's paid off. Put faith in the lad.

Yeah Tah looked like Titus Bramble.

Never seen the hype around Adeyemi either.

Third time I've seen Wirtz play now and all he does is lose the ball.

DOF/CEO is vital for future windows it feels like we haven't got a single ounce of value in any deals in or out this summer.

Really happy with Wissa as I'm defo a fan but I don't think we've gotten value on a single deal this summer.

My worry with bringing Larsen in alongside Woltemade is we will not really have any players that won't to get in behind. Outside of Elanga who else is there to attack space? I could be wrong but isn't Larsen a more penalty box poacher?

Openda? Isnt he a pacey player who looks to run in behind?

The part in hopes article about the split dressing room of players who support him and players who don't is rather worrying mind.

Was saying this to my brother last week. I can't wait until 2-3 weeks when the windows closed the dust has settled and we can just concentrate on the football.

I'd put money on him getting a standing ovation at chicken town if he ends up at Liverpool

Liverpool will try low ball us last minute hoping we panic. Hope we tell them to fuck off.

My worry now is teams/players know we're getting desperate and fees will now be ramped up

Joelinton is like a dog chasing a balloon in possession

Man United are still one of the biggest teams in the world up there with Madrid and Barca. For all they have been on the decline since Ferguson left they've still won a number of trophies. We could only dream of being that successful during that period of time. Players will always back themselves thinking they can be the one to turn it around. Saying that if players think logically and look at Howes track record of improving players we've got to be a very attractive option. I'd imagine the Šeško to Man U is more agent driven knowing they're more likely to get an attractive package from the Mancs if history is to go by.

Where is Livramento supposed to be playing?

We seem to shop in the market of young academy projects and then elite players that are £50M +. There's a big gap in between that we are currently neglecting.

Starting to feel like Mitchell is getting used as a bit of a scapegoat now

The noise is only going to get worse once preseason starts. Everytime Howe is in front of the press he'll be asked.

Typical Newcastle wait 2 years for a first team signing and the first one is a Keeper which we have an abundance of I do think he'll transform the way we play though. Can see him being eased in also.

https://x.com/pedrogva6/status/1931649740363485292?s=46 Seems unlikely as he'll be 30 this season and wages would be astronomical.

You can't tell me we can't find any viable players outside of the premier league?

Feel like we rarely have concrete links with players abroad unless it's developmental youth players. All of our first team recruitment seems to be from the premier league.

Can we not at least get a different profile winger. Can't wait to see us totally void of ideas again against low blocks.
