Kid Icarus

Very broad and not that important itk stuff, but sharing nonetheless because it's definitely true. The rental company that manage houses for Newcastle have been told to keep one of them available (Bruno and Thiaw turned it down) because they're expecting upto 3 signings, one of which is expected to be very last minute.

Aren't they just trying to squeeze more out of this story? We already know he's on strike ffs What part of 'I'll never play for Newcastle again, even if I'm not sold' doesn't include being on strike from playing?

Not saying Wissa is Isak level, but let's say he'd taken and scored all the pens Mbeumo had last season... Wissa: 26 Isak: 27 He's clearly a good enough stop gap vs rushing into the wrong young marque striker.

As expected? Man City's APT case?

Seems like Rogers has taken his spot so he played more as a LM/LW recently. A rotation of 22/23 Ramsey with Joelinton in the real backs to the wall games would be amazing like.

Howeh lads, take the positives where you can get them. It's been a bad summer and I've been as downbeat as anyone but there's no point still being grumpy when positive things happen.

Yes! Risky!

Would feel 100x worse if we hadn’t sorted out CB and (hopefully) 1 CM position, but this is bad like. We essentially have no striker going into the season.

It's this. We need a new quality over quantity reporter.

Think it's more Downie tbh, but I'd be surprised if Romano was wrong about it being basically done.

I want El Khannouss anyway, so if this facilitates that then good.

I would have thought there would be an agreement not to play him on Saturday tbh.

We're all passengers to it unfortunately

It's an cognitive engagement thing. All the research shows that our brains respond more to them than to words alone.

That well known choice, Stack or the complete opposite side of town to Lady Greys and PTMY. What a load of nonsense man.

Wonder if they also noted his celebration where he said he was staying.

Just realised that if this goes through then at some point we'll have Gordon Ramsey down the left hand side and Peter Drury will do something about what they're cooking. Michelin Starred machiavellians or some shite.

It's according to Ornstein and Romano too. Very strange transfer for Man City like.

He's one step away from twiddling his Dick Dastardly moustache man. It's not that deep tbh, we already know Liverpool tap up players and that VVD knows about that better than most, this is just another bit of potential circumstantial evidence that points to something we already know.

Think he's just been heavily linked with Southampton today.

Any bets on our Longstaff replacement? Think we can write off Gallagher and it'll be another £40m-ish player.

Still think the Longstaff upgrade is to come. For me this is Howe giving up on Willock.

Both players probably have fees lower than than their ability for the same reason (injuries and not developing) I remember Brummie describing Ramsey as more or less priceless when Emery first came in and he had a hot streak, a couple of years and injuries later and they're happy for £40m Likewise Willock, after 22/23 he was probably a £50m+ player. A couple of years and injuries later and we'd probably get £20m for him from a club hoping he could put his injuries behind him.

Definitely feels like it's in that bracket of successful signings we've made so far doesn't it? The ones we're slightly dubious about that work out. Barnes, Livramento, Hall, Gordon.

Very hard to find recent highlights of him
