I'd say if he does well there's every chance we'll sign him. Arsenal are looking to offload the likes of Maitland-Niles, Nelson & Willock to go some way in funding their much needed squad rebuild. All surplus to requirements.

Because we're absolutely shit at being a football club AMN desperate to play centre midfield, would have surely jumped at the chance should assurances have been made of his position. He's the exact type of player we need. Yet we let him go to a team who are going to be relegated and instead go for a player who has shown nothing to suggest he's particularly good or effective in the premier league. You don't think the move to the north east might have been a factor? Honestly, no. I just don't think we would have even tried to convince him. Just took the easier, shitter option.

Over 100 apps for us. An important player in the championship season. Should go with nothing but our best wishes tbh. Likeable guy too.

Yep

AMN is the man we should be after.

I'm not sure about that like. All for him coming in to add some depth, but he's done nothing of real note in his career so not sure how he'd be our best midfielder by a long way? Most Arsenal fan's see him as surplus. (I understand it's probably more a product of how little you rate our current crop than how much you rate Willock, something I wouldn't argue against)

Remi Streete.

Schar & Clark ain't a bad pairing tbf. Well balanced.

Probably can tbf, he's better than a lot of strikers playing for top 6 clubs. Reckon Leicester could be a decent shout for him, although when you look at the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs. He'd be ahead of Werner, Origi and Vinicius.

Fraser's becoming a bit of a joke tbh.

I'm looking forward to it and thus I feel like a fool

Always feel like it's more attitude that changes in the short term, which is where we get these turnarounds in form from. Better attitude, more confidence, more ability unlocked. I think they just get out of their heads and start expressing themselves. Getting out of their own way in a sense. As time goes by, you tend to see a slight drop off whilst the players go through the process of learning and becoming fluid with the new instructions being asked of them. Think we will see that with both us and Chelsea in the next 2 month.

He's on 11 with a lot of games left 10 currently with 17 games to go. Slightly better than one in two so far so all signs point to him getting it. Without those pens he's roughly 1 in 3 so 5 more in 17 would be decent enough imo. Not that many 15 goal+ strikers in the league anymore, you're lucky if 8-10 players reach it in a season.

He seems to set himself a very high standard, both in regards to personal stats and contribution to the team. If he manages to hit 15 goals this season it would be some achievement.

I thought he scored against Chelsea away but I think it's more because it was arguably his best performance for us that I've noted it in my mind.

Was glorious. He is in general tbh, the real deal. I loved Rondon for his warrior-spirit, exceptional touch and the general atmosphere that surrounded that team; but Wilson has to go down as our best striker since Demba.

Not been that impressed by Willock like. Looked some way behind the likes of Saka, Smith-Rowe and AMN to me. Same with Reiss Nelson and Nketiah. Maybe they all just need more game time, but not convinced on evidence so far.

wer...what...now? Former City and Hull player Omar Elabdellaoui. Norwegian international which I'm guessing is why he's on Kaizero's radar.

As a Fulham or West Brom fan I'm looking at us 8-10 points ahead after beating Everton today and thinking "they're going to be safe". As a Newcastle fan you're looking at it thinking there's a long, long way to go yet. Probably a 4.

He was on form with his interrupting the interviewers question thing today. You would think he was on a game show with the clock against him or something. "In which country does th..." "BACON".

He's got decent pedigree having come from Le Havre's academy into Manchester City's development squad. Must have something about him.

Corners are such a weird aspect of football. I reckon all professional players can put in good crosses in training, but come match day you would think it's the most difficult skill to execute with the amount of terrible corners you see each week (not just from us). Fraser has always looked capable of crossing well and consistently, but Shelvey who couldn't beat his first man a few weeks ago is now doing it too. Confidence in football is everything imo, in that it unlocks players ability, without confidence ability seems to go out the window.

Aye, granted. The guy he replaced at Luton was really well-liked by the supporters for his style, so he was probably up against it from day 1.

Not to be negative, but I reckon it's more having someone, anyone in other than Bruce & Co giving instructions that's lifted the players this week. Which is pretty indicative and damning given that he's a coach from the championship who was hardly heralded by fans of his former clubs.
