  1. We've all been moaning regards league positions, unusual defeats followed by beating top sides etc, for me the league is the most bizarre this season than any I can remember. When you think you're well out of it a stretch to far perhaps, those around you lose, and next thing you're back in the mix for European spots, although Eddie's had some stick regarding our position, I just feel anyone is beating drawing with anyone, and the league is unpredictable.
  2. Felt rigged that by Nunes With all the betting scandal, that's a challenge everyone knows you don't make....
  3. Yeah good point, I was never jumping for joy when Steve Watson came on, mainly because he wasn't as flamboyant as those around him in Keegan sides, but, his versatility, and his attitude were of a high standard. We used him all over the place, ended up loving him, and gutted when he moved on.

    Lewis Hall

    Are you kidding? He's absolutely growing into everything I want from a fullback, still learning, he's come on more than any player, I thought Livramento was going to be the one, however, it's this lad, if he keeps doing the basics right, listening, learning, his trajectory is going beyond.
  5. Gordon resurrection after 4 months of mediocre shows, aggressive showing all over the pitch, a clean sheet, lots of chances. Still I'm sort of reserving judgment, because Leicester were toothless, absolutely caved and let us do what we wanted. Need to see that showing on Wednesday to understand if we're finally turning the corner, because Brentford won't bottle it like Leicester.
  6. The reason so many get behind him, is because he's a tryer, a guy who'll never moan when left out, a lad who raises spirits and puts a smile on other players faces, is he good enough to play in our first team with our ambition, no, is he good enough as back up in the future, probably still no, but given the restrictions put on us, we have no choices but to use him, he frustrated the shite out of me today, then he scores, then he scores again, ironically at the time he's hauled off, I'm then wanting him to stay on? That's what you get with Jacob Murphy.
  7. While I obviously understand that, January just doesn’t seem to be a window where there's a necessity to be hasty, top of Citys lists are Wurtz and Zubimendi, still I'd imagine both those deals being made next summer. Pep has only ever said Guimarães is a player he likes, but, I'd imagine Pep has praised a lot of players, off the back of such praise, people here and particularly NE journalists need that narrative to have stories to write that keeps the bills being paid. Plus other than Arsenal from memory, there's not many clubs who sell their current captains, especially midway through a season. Regardless of Bruno, I really don't think we'll do anything at all in January. I just think lots of people get carried away, year after year, with reality checks landing on 31st January.
  8. If anyone thinks anything will happen in January, you're mad. It just won't, move on.
  9. Any truth in what people on twitter are starting rumours off that he's been made available for transfer?
  10. Ferguson being behind Welbeck is concerning, is he just another Ameobi ?
  11. Why is this even a topic to be discussed
  12. Would be a steal, no brainer for me.
  13. I'm a bit lost that a player of Tomori's quality would be available for 20m KaKa, surely not?
  14. Grealish terrible, others mention Doku/Savinho, Walker struggling, Rico Lewis looks like he has no place in the team, don't get me wrong he's a nice player, but there's no real position he can make a real claim for, definitely not good enough or disciplined enough to play fullback, and although he often finds himself in midfield, he isn't of the calibre to make a claim on a midfield spot. Its tough on City right now, they're looking like they need to spend.
  15. Callum once played over 30 games for us and scored 18 goals. It's a nightmare what's happening to him. Feel sorry for him, but the club can't keep carrying him.
  16. Kevin Zenon, release clause seems fairly low rumoured 17m. Plays multiple positions.
  17. We think that, but Burn always seems to be untouchable.
  18. I hope this doesn't mean Hall loses his spot so Burn can go back to the left, that would be mental.
  19. Impossible, Eddie has chosen this way, the harmony was probably working before with the core English lads, but including Bruno in that, but one can only assume, the former leadership of Tripps,Wilson,Lascelles,Burn, perhaps the fact those three could be sold sooner rather than later influenced his choice. My opinion for what it's worth, means Bruno is captain unless Howe left, he's not at all bad at the the role, but perhaps he demanded it, rather than earned it? Assuming his team put that forward in contract talks. Tbh though, I've no idea though, based on assumption.
  20. Trippier was a miles better leader, that's not taking anything at all away from Bruno, but Bruno is the guy who rallies up the crowd with his personality, for leadership and talking on the pitch Tripps was always in peoples ears, did it with us and with England, Bruno is about moments, you rarely see him rallying the troops on the pitch, talking, pointing to players where to be, motivating and mentoring.
  21. You've got to look at the past four fixtures and say these are getting it 👊🏼
  22. Literally can base it on MVP since we are indoctrinated with United States corny shite. On Value to us and market value. 1. Isak 25yrs 100m 2.Bruno 27yrs 80m 3.Gordon 23yrs 60m 4.Sven 24yrs 55m 5.Tonali 24yrs 50m 6.Joelinton 28yrs 40m 7.Livramento 22yrs 40m 8.Barnes 26yrs 40m 9.Hall 20yrs 35m 10.Willock 25yrs 30m 11.Pope 32yrs 25m 12.Miley 18yrs 22m 13.Longstaff 27yrs 19m 14.Kelly 26yrs 19m 15.Miggy 30yrs 15m 16.Wilson 32yrs 12m 17.Trippier 34yrs 10m 18.Targett 29yrs 9m 19.Schar 32yrs 8m 20.Burn 32yrs 8m 21.Osula 21yrs 7m 22.Lascelles 31yrs 7m 23.Murphy 29yrs 7m 24.Odysseas 30yrs 7m 25.Krafth 30yrs 5m 26.Dubravka 35yrs 2m Many I've not included, either raw or no value. Info from: https://m.aiscore.com/salary/team-newcastle-united-2j374oiy4nirqo6 Can someone please explain why Lloyd Kelly is allegedly on 150k pw ? This is more likely what Paul Mitchel could have been eluding to regarding our business being daft, tripling his salary because he's a free agent, ridiculous if true, ive looked around online many sources claim it is possible.
  23. Ratcliffe is the worst thing that's happened to that club, worse than the Glazers. He'll destroy them.
