Gouffran has never looked better than anybody for about 2 seasons.

Are the reserves in Holland atm?

Na. But a back four of Bigi, Staka, Ferguson and Aarons tried to replicate his achievements.

I never back tracked at all, I am happy we are signing them both you divvy

Where there does it say they can't sign him due to funds? Or that he went to Roma or Porto to check out the facilities? That shows interested parties. Well done.

He put a fair few crosses in last night, but what incentive does he have for floating them in? Maybe with Mitrovic he might start standing them up instead of drilling them into feet?

Why did he have the armband on for most of the second half? Is McClaren taking the piss out of us?

This lad is shit. And it's worse because he's 24. He's had worse development over the last 4 seasons than our up and coming academy star Sammy Ameobi.

Your missing the point I am making now like. People HAVE and DID slate Mitrovic within the last week because he was APPARENTLY waiting for Roma / Porto. Now imagine adding those Mbemba quotes to Mitrovics scenario. Would have been WWIII in the Mitrovic thread. So your point is 'imagine if something that didnt happen actually happened?' Like Mitrovic apparently wanting to go to Porto or Roma, yet we have absolutely no evidence? Yet people went mental? Aye. He spoke to Roma, Porto & Benfica about contracts, we know that. We also know we were the only side prepared to pay the required fee. None of this is even remotely close to what Mbemba said No, we know his dad 'apparently' wanted to talk to Roma and Porto over us, but no quotes. And he certainly didn't say it himself. Anyway, lets stop this. Av admitted am happy he's coming, but the Mitrovic thread was constantly full of "f*** him", "Walk away, doesn't want to be here" posts, off far less, which is why I mentioned it.

Jesus man That's all am saying, am chuffed the bloke is coming here, probably for all the coon. But am just saying, people would have taken those quotes out of context had it been Mitrovic.

Can't really blame players for preferring clubs like those mentioned over us like. After the last few seasons, you'd have to question the ambition of any player that saw us as a priority. I am not blaming him at all, he's a cracking player. But people were going to town on Mitrovic, yet he didn't say anything remotely similar. Imagine if he said "I went to Rome, had a look about, but they couldn't afford me". People wouldn't even want us to sign him man

“I went to visit (Borussia) Monchengladbach’s facilities. I had a good interview with their management, and the coach tried to sell it to me but the club could not pay what Anderlecht requested. “Atlético have also made a offer, but it was refused for the same reasons.” That to me, doesn't say "Newcastle was my first choice", it says "I would of signed for BMG, but they can't afford me"

Some people where complaining that Mitrovic was taking the piss by hanging around for either Roma or Porto. Yet Mbemba admits that the only reason he is coming here is because Broussia Monchengladbach and Atletico Madrid can't meet the asking price that Anderlecht set

They've been pushing it hard the past few weeks. It was disgustingly bad when I had it a few years back. I wonder how long this free content will carry on for? Anthony Marshell on twitter (our club editor) was asking what fans wanted to see done more often, or if there was anything they could change after they started increasing YouTube content. Loads of replies said NUFCtv should either be free or included in the cost of a season ticket. He said he would look into possibilities. I assume this free stuff is a trial run, unless they have decided that everyone can see big news like signings etc.

Good little interview. I think he's gonna be fucking ace

I love how the club haven't actually mentioned its the PT reserve team facing us.

16.5 mil euros. About 11million quid.

Doubt that, he's bigger than Hatem.

Just looks like a polo top? The one Disco posted.

Jetro Willems is injured for around 2 months with a knee injury.

Haven't heard of the other two but Martial is extremely talented, surprised if he goes for less than 20m considering the hype he's got in Europe. Embolo looks mint, he's one of these terrifying Lukaku types who are built like ogres at 16 years old. Sure he plays upfront for FC Basel.
