I do like those stats for a non regular starting young English forward, they're rather good. Also just after 'he's a future star' came 'or not maybe' ' but he's worth a punt'. Quote the whole thing young man, not just the bits to suit your argument if you would. Read between the lines and you may notice my arse is purely on the fence.

If you think worth a punt means excited then OK, i think you need a sherry and lie down mate.

95 Apps - 24 goals (wiki) - I would hazard a guess not that many starts, i like those stats. He's a future star, or not maybe, but he's worth a punt as a young English forward.

We have to do things step by step, we stay up and we'll replace those bought now (Bruno and better players if you can sign them now the exceptions) with better as we progress. After all that's gone on in the last 14 years, we have to have some perspective.

Signing don't always have to be big stars or from abroad to turn out good like, sometimes a boring old home grown young player might be mint.

After all the despicable we have more rights than you. The, we should be able to dictate who joins our gang, and have a say in who owns you. Man Utd and the rest of arrogant bunch of arsehole can really just fuck off.

Options Baby, it gives us options.

Sorry i should have said, the previous two. They're checking the Alisson one now, should change his mind the ref, it's accidental for me, a bit wild but more the player running to Alisson's leg on the way down.

It's been mad, but both were reds imo mind.

Jeremiah St. Juste from Mainz according to Sky Germany. https://sport.sky.de/fussball/artikel/fsv-mainz-transfer-news-sky-info-newcastle-an-st-juste-interessiert/12526832/35311 According to Sky information, Newcastle United are committed to Mainz defender Jeremiah St. Juste. The transfer window is on the final straight. Newcastle in particular is still extremely busy at the moment and wants to implement a few more transfers. A Bundesliga cracker could be there. According to Sky Infos, the Magpies are interested in St. Juste from Mainz 05. Discussions between the clubs are already underway. Whether there will be an agreement is still completely open. Mainz, however, is ready to talk. Newcastle apparently has to transfer around 15 million euros to Rheinhessen to sign the 25-year-old defender.

It popped up and then disappeared as quick, it was only on there briefly. Weird.

Forgot to do this Saturday, Manq was superb when he came on. He won every tackle, used the ball well and won the free kick for the winner. A very very good cameo, which should get him start for the next game at left back, he couldn't do any more to earn the place.

You gave a fair point, I'm still of the mind we're over thinking it though.

Probably another thing we need to get used to. Multiple jobs around things like scouting and recruitment. Not the shambles of one bald thumb, Rod Stewart's brother and a fax machine.

I wouldn't think Eddie's influence would stretch to keep the fella place if he was doing a terrible job. I just think we're over analysing something rather than judging the fella on his merits (the nephews), which if you look at Bournemouth over his ten years, he didn't do bad, despite Eddie's ending there.

When we appoint a manager be it Rafa, Eddie and even Pardew. They all bring their own staff, that's nepotism too but we say not much, and why would we ? Because we don't recognise it as nepotism ? Maybe but it's no different.

Fair point, but why does it have to be simple nepotism as if the bloke is only there because who Eddie is. Eddie left Bournemouth how long ago ? If he was only in the job because of Eddie wouldn't Bournemouth have got rid ? The lad was still there, and had been for 10 years (if you believe the info). At face value I'm taking the positive, not the negative on this one. Just me maybe, but it's clearly not simple nepotism imo.

What has top clubs clamouring for him got to do with it, is that the yard stick on how we appoint someone ? Of course there's nepotism, it's his nephew, but the point still stands, if he's good at the job it's irrelevant who he is.

Nephew or not, if he's doing/done a good job where he's been, it's not a problem is it ? Managers like people they know and trust in place.

Please don't put pictures of that confused bumbling albino womble in the football Forum, its my escape in here.

There's a good point there, if you don't get off the pitch right, you'll never get on the pitch right.

I'm not overly worried about his performance yesterday, he had 2 days with his teammates. If it carries on into game after game then yeah, but he needs a bit time to settle in, time I'm aware we don't have.

Apologises as my post should have said, 'i can understand why he hasn't' You're not wrong either, organised we haven't been. But his defensive record at Bournemouth was atrocious, it was about goals scoring, that's not going to work with us, especially with our lack any forward attacking plans over the last few seasons.

That is something i totally agree with, and it does look grim. But with a couple more buys in the right areas, and only a couple of points adrift, well there's a chance we can stay up imo. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, just not defeated would be the better phrase.
