Yeah noted, and the front pair are some distance from the midfield at times, but Almiron has started to drop off and collect a bit more

Joelinton looks excellent. Not sure I'm enjoying Ritchie at fullback ?

Finally signed Douglas

After being away on holiday and finally catching up on the highlights from the friendlies, this lad needs to work on his finishing quite a bit, he had some great chances and some really easy goals had he been more clinical. I'm not having a dig at him but with a bit of work and when the real test starts in the league we will need him to take the sort of chances he missed. On the plus side Shelvey just kept putting the ball on the ground and putting him through with ease, so hopefully their understanding and a bit of work on Miggys finishing the pair will create plenty of chances.

Hope to God not

Yes but, we signed Mitro,Mbemba,Wijnaldum,Thuavin, under McClaren and at the time I would have considered them better than what we have signed. It was a disastrous season. Bruce is probably as shite as McClaren in terms of each managers records.

These were all players we were linked with 12 months ago, so Rafa would have refused them because he wanted his own signings, all of the sudden Rafas gone and Charnley's having secret conversations with Carr probably about who we can sign that will turn s profit, This is Steve McClaren Mk2. Bruce is just getting a load of players signed and told to get on with it. We all know how it ended with McClaren, I can see it all over again.

Brucey paid him, so it reflects well on him.

I'm on your page ??

My life Absolute ballsacks, bottom to the top.

Getting tiresome now. If you don't give a f*** then don't open the thread, no need to have the same s*** spammed everywhere every day. Disagree. Everything needs to be pointed towards the source of the problem. f***s should not be given about this. No-one should be discussing anything other than the removal of Mike Ashley. Go start an Ashleyout forum and bore yourself to death saying the same thing over and over again then. We have an Ashley sympathiser. Bet you still go to games Everyone on here hates Mike Ashley pal. Theres really no need to panic about who does or doesn't, because if you put a poll up right now, it will be over 90%, because you always get the jokers, and mackems who use fake accounts making up the rest of the percentages. My only interest in this player, is the fee is ridiculous, and what can he offer us goals wise now we flogged 3 players with nearly 30 goals. I just think everything we do is fucking stupid, and Scouts have bigger roles than experienced footballing managers at this club, because what their role is, is very similar to how Ashley runs his tat shops. They go in hunt for something on the cheap that will turn a profit quickly, instead of Ashley investing in his manager long term, and being patient to see the bigger picture, where investment could bring success, trophies Europe etc, that's where the real money lies. This daft fucker runs his club like his shops, everything is a comodity. I'm just interested in his latest Brazilian stock.

Got 5 assists as well, so a direct contribution of a goal every 2 starts. If he did play out wide then that's not too bad and still only 22. Still seems a tad risky though. My assumption is based on the 3 forwards starting quite a few games, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have used all 3 off them as target men, so I'm guessing for him to be starting 25 games they weren't all as a striker? But I don't know facts.

https://www.bundesliga.com/en/player/current-season/DFL-OBJ-00264Y/joelinton/stats His stats last season. They can afford to offload a guy who cost them 2.2m a couple of seasons ago, he managed 7 goals from wider positions (I'd assume) as their main hitmen ex Leicester City player Krameric who could hardly feature for Leicester when he was with them made 30 appearances 28 starts and managed 17 goals, Belfodil a bit of a journeyman making 28 appearances 20 starts hitting 16, while I assume Joelinton played wide because he also made plenty of starts,25 total starts,28 appearances, but only 7 goals. So the three of them featured heavily across the campaign but the other two strikers produced most of Hoffenheims goals. Not sure how his value has rocketed to 36m with a long time spent out on loan in Austria, what on earth would they value Krameric at? He finished joint 31st with a few other players on 7 in the final top scorers charts. From a goals point of view, he hardly looks like the answer to the 3 players we just moved on that produced nearly 30 goals between them.

Steve Bruce keen on players. Theres no chance in hell Bruce will be choosing or negotiating any incoming player, he's the head coach. The title given to Steve McClaren when he was also the donkey who had to stand by and try to figure out who to play where from Graham Carrs signings, and look what happened there.

Rafa must have known ages ago he wasn't staying if this does go through, because it's quite obvious someone else is recommending this player and someone else is making our signings of the back of the recommendation.Bruce cant know fuck all about this guy, we were linked with him way before the Bruce fiasco. It stinks of Keegan with Nacho and Xisco signed above his head. Rafa quite obviously wanted to sign Rondon not this lad, but the club see a potential profit strategy? Curious to wonder who's behind the recommendations? Did the club secretly keep carr on in some sort of discreet role? Because it's funny theres speak of him returning possibly. Find it all bizarre.

This is what is necessary really.

?? I watched a video with him before not denying hes held talks, and when asked, would he like to become Nufc manager, he went on to say let's see what develops over the weekend. Actual quote was the next 24/48 hours but that was yesterday. Its imminent regardless I'd probably have to say.

So today's the day. Most of the finished season discussing, Fake Sheikhs,and ITk arsehole attention seeking weirdos needing their little moments, and now it all boils down to chasing after an ex Sunderland manager with a shameful record as a manager, another nodding dog to sit along side Shola and any other Cretins we decide to bring back through the doors. This club is finished.

Fucking class from Corbyn. You would never get any other wank stain politicians from other parties giving the slightest fuck. For the many Jezza lad. Tory cunts may as well support Ashley. Greed over sharing.

Sounds like a good idea. Because of that fat twat, we near enough all have nothing but negatives to say on here, bitching moaning. One fat piece of shit has taken the one thing that is supposed to bring people together, "United" the clues in the name, and made us all reject our club, and literally not care anymore. I cant ever give up the connection I have with Newcastle, but from 11 years old in 1990 I enjoyed some of the greatest footballing times in Nufc history, and then there were ups and downs as Dalglish dismantled KKs entertainers, after a slump with Dalglish and Gullit, the good times returned under Sir Bobby who I hold in the same category as Keegan everyone was buzzing. I can honestly say the past 12 years have been some of the darkest times I can go back to, I thought the club had finally woken up when they appointed Rafa Benitez but the lack of ambition was so blatantly obvious Rafa was never going to stay with us, and now we are going back to all Mike Ashley understands, making a profit not being a success, back to trying to buy players in their final years of contracts, back to searching Holland and France for cheap players to sell on. Back to having a nodding dog for a manager. In the 29yrs ive supported the 16 managers we have had, I only believe the best to be the ones that get it,the ones that understand the fans and the City, Keegan,Robson,and Rafa. 29 years 16 managers and only 3 managers I truly felt belong with Newcastle. I've not been for a good while but I know for sure I'll not be setting foot inside St James park until its Ashley free, I only went back a few times because of Rafa but I need to stick to my principles and withdraw completely. Think I'll just show up for protests or any kind of support that will drive Ashley out.

Eh? Penfold's mam's on twitter? Yep

Is this not a wind up. I can't understand why they would pay to release Bruce when there are plenty of managers available without any upfront fees. I'm not sure I'm buying it. And Charnley's mum hasn't liked the story on her twitter, yet she did like Claudio Ranieri.

Why is this Darren Carter chap taking the piss? Don't get why a fan would pretend he's ringing up Benton.

Perplexed.
