Patter like this is shite man. This signing will just set a precident for us paying twice the going rate for anyone in the future.

What was the real figure though? More back-handers than a tennis match in that transfer.

If was 2 or 3 years younger then aye, but he's 30 ffs.

Absolutely desperate signing at that price. Every other club in the country will be laughing at us.

Well for starters I'd of had Manquillo in ahead of Ritchie. Midfield two of Hendrick (yes he shit but there just to protect the back 4) and Shelvey. Either Willock or Almiron (lol) playing the no 10 role with ASM and Murphy on the wings, and Linton as a link up man up top, which would have left Fraser and U23 striker to come off the bench as impact subs if needed. Yes I know Hendrick and Almiron are shite and Linton is not a striker but at least we'd have had a coherent formation instead of that dogs dinner yesterday.

I'm sorry like but I've got better things to do than pretend to be a Newcastle fan.

You're right there like, I've just looked on .com and it looks like we don't even have one in the first team squad list.

Aye against a PL team but haway man, Cambridge were in the 4th division last season.

He's doing exactly the same thing as Bruce by trying to put square pegs into round holes. Fair enough he's limited by injury/covid but that midfield and forward line was an absolute mess yesterday. It's ok to play 4-6-0 if you're Man City or Spain but plainly not us. It should have been the best available young'un playing as a dedicated striker.

This. I've got the feeling we'd end up with half the Bournemouth team that got relegated if he had his choice of targets.

£20M for this useless twat. We'd be lucky to get a quarter of that for him now.

One crumb of comfort is it'll probable be the last time Longstaff ever starts a game for us. But as for Howe, it's all been a bit meh up to now, feels like a stopgap appointment.

I'd snap their hands off for a million tbh. One third of a season purple patch aside he's been utter dogshit.

Yesterdays man.

Yes, being paid ten times more than our current highest earner might do that.....

It's a three team mini league now of us, Burnley and Watford for 17th.

Tabheeds time has come.

I hope this is a wind up.

If they're out for the whole of next month that's it like.

We really should have tried to engineer a covid postponement for this one. 1-3.

Wilson, that's about it.

I apologise, I'll give you Hendrick and Krafth as well.

Almiron should be second out of the door after Clark.

He needs to fuck off with this 4-4-2 and 3-4-3 shite, we don't have the required personnel to play it. 4-2-3-1 or 3-5-2 are the only viable formations with the dross we have atm.

Lets be perfectly honest, assuming we lose the next two games before Jan we would probably need 26-28 points from the last 18 games to survive., basically top eight form. Anyone good won't want to be anywhere near us unless we pay them an absolute fortune knowing more than likely they'll be playing in the championshit next season.
