Some mentioning we could still also go for that Ojo youngster. Didn't even realise hes been playing at such a high level, since the age of 13 he was training with the mk dons first team before Liverpool swooped. Looks a really clever player.

Cheers Lee

I wouldnt walk just because im struggling to sign average underrated players for 25m. Its a joke, I dont see the point in signing players for the sake of it. Obviously we need players, but if you get priced out of the market you just dig in together and do what other sides have had to do before us, Burnley, Bournemouth, Leicester. Think we need to move away from the english market its ridiculous. PSV managed to land Hirving Lozano for 8m beating off competition.

Ojo or Murphy.Guess this is to push Norwich into agreeing a deal that will save us a few quid. 10m for a liverpool fringe player is a bit crazy.

You have to count all the returning loan lads as new signings. Sadly the one who was the most successful didnt return to make matters worse.

Hows De Jong today?

It's not Charnley, this is all trickling down from Ashley. If the will is there to get deals done we'd already have a few more players in. There was no problems getting players in this time last year, so what's changed? Pretty much the fact he had Carr to hold his hand through deals is what I think. No Carr sat there to help him through negotiations, and if he's a poor negotiator with demand for player's rising and a tight budget that could explain a bit? Its a fucking queueing process. Should just be Rafa direct to Ashley.Fuck all these little suits stealing a living. You mentioned about Huddersfield spending. That will be down to the clubs outgoings overall being relatively small. Plus they will need a squad to compete, they had a fair few players on loan last season who will have returned leaving a smaller squad to try to stay in the division.

Probably be something like charnley not having a clue how to close a deal without Carr by his side. Rafa should just oversee the whole thing start to finish. All these suits just slow the process down.

The black is now allegedly the away kit. Green blue third kit?

Chronicle have said it has been leaked today, that black kit is pretty much the real one. Its brilliant ? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-away-kit-black-13313998.amp

Both, played a bit on the right for cov and he scores a lot of goals from central positions, so could be a good fit for a few areas?

I can see why its frustrating when sides are demanding 50m for Ross Barkley, and also Sigurdsson 50m price tag. Ridiculous! Its no wonder we are considering so many alternatives. Id be guessing thats where the crazy transfer market quote came from.

Mentioned this lad weeks ago.Got the feeling nobody really rated him on here. He did superb in his championship spell off the back of a equally impressive loan at Coventry (whith Adam Armstrong) Although he returned to his parent club and had a superb season. And then continued to carry the form into the recent u21s tournament. You cant argue he's not been consistent or progressed over 2 seasons. Would be a great purchase. Im sure if it is genuine legit bid/interest then many will get on board instead of thinking hes turd. I honestly can't say I've taken much notice of him. However if he's performing for the U21's and did decent in the Championship last season and League 1 the season before, then for £8m-£10m he's worth the gamble, especially when you consider what the alternatives are for that price. Is he a winger (if so, which side) or a forward? It says winger on some websites and forward on others. Winger on the Right, sometimes Left. He could have been tried upfront I dont know.

Really? Why? What does he actually do? He did fuck all other than run in a straight line every now and then for us, and seems to have done the exact same for Boro last year. He's big, stocky and quite fast, but he has zero football awareness. I remember Village Idiot on here telling me *exactly* the same thing when we signed him, and he was absolutely spot on. I find it utterly bewildering anyone would want him, let alone pay some of the figures mentioned for him. He's not a winger. He's not even a footballer. Sounds like past players we have loathed here Obertan & Lua Lua spring to mind.

Totally get why you have that opinion. But I do believe there is a player in there with Aarons, and possibly managers that have managed him see this. He needs to get a consistent run and injury free season to push on. Or i fully understand why some would totally write him off. His explosive style in games like the final game vs Spurs before relegation and the Man City Away in the cup show glimpses of what kind of player he could be. Im on the fence with him,but i can see why he is possibly kept in.

They dont make them for pie eating piss heads these days. They think everyone is a gym freak and toned to fuck obviously.

Loftus Cheek has never been tested anywhere on loan etc. He will likely never really make it into Chelsea's first 11 as a permanent member. I would loan him in and do a deal like with Atsu and pay after the loan if we are satisfied. Is the other lad Baker out of the question? Hes done more on loan and is just as coated at all England youth levels.

Im not convinced this suddenly propels Man Utd into sudden favourites for a title challenge. I can still see them battling with Arsenal and Liverpool for that fourth CL spot.

Thought we might have made some kind of approach for Iheanacho, obviously not a Rafa player.

Ben Arfa on a free. No brainer.

The season we surrendered the league title (finished runners up) was certainly down to our defence and bottling the final run in mentally. Our mentality under Keegan was we will score more than you, not we have a sound back four that rarely ships goals. Cant say we ever had a solid back four. Flawed debate.

Seriously we have been linked to Jonathan Cafu.

Benitez is probably the most defensive sound Coach we have ever had. So its probably fair to say how ever long he's here he will look at our weaknesses and defence has troubled us for as long as I can go back.

Thought Rafa was off though? Watson was pretty much the Perch of the 90's just about used anywhere the guy wore about every number available at some point or another. Comparing him as a CB and against a player who has still got a decade ahead of him is pointless. I think my opinion was Watson was better in midfield scored quite a few decent goals. Dont think he ever nailed down CB as his best position. And again on Rafa hes still here. If he was lied to in January fair enough its out of order, but bed-wetting like you and so many were last week didn't do you any good at all. Row-naldo.
