I fully agree, he should be rewarded for his exploits. He knows he’s loved here

So what’s his value? A year ago people would have said less than 10 million.. for me at this point I think he’s up on what the club initially paid for him.

I’m really glad we didn’t go for someone smarmy like Peter Kenyon, not him but you know what I mean. This guy speaks well and comes over as a likeable person. He’s obviously very good at his role and will be interesting to see how much we hear from him in terms of his plans, or perhaps we’ll just get press releases as the coming announcements are made.

Not interested in him in the slightest now, not our player and I hope he won’t be. There’s loads of players out there who won’t want to play for this club, that’s fine. This time last year we were scrounging around for a loan deal with Choudrey, now we’re linked with great players. The rise in our fortunes might come a little soon for some players.. but once we get into the top 6, then top 4.. attitudes will change and that arrogance from certain clubs, agents or players won’t be a thing we have to deal with.

Can we delete this thread now?

To be honest, I’m just as excited to see if Elliott Anderson will be involved, is he the real deal etc.. if he gets the backup position to ASM then great, he’ll get game time. I think the best position we can fill is right midfield, not forward.. for value at least, if we’re more dominant in the middle, the less tracking back the likes of Fraser or Miggy would have to do so we might see more from them going forward. Or that’s the theory anyway, give them till January and then upgrade if it’s not working.

A family friend who lives in LA used to see Klinsmann playing in a local 5-a-side and then got to know him as he’d be coming into a local bar/restaurant in the early mornings to watch the premier league games. When playing in the local side, he’d be lashing in overhead volleys and screamers from all angles and celebrating like he’d scored the winner in the World Cup final ? really good lad apparently but frugal as fuck

He won’t be given that long.. be gone by end of November at the latest.. it’s exactly what he wants. Man is an absolute charlatan, all he sees is his next severance package to add his his retirement nest egg. He’ll take as many of them as he can get.

Seeing clips like that triggers ptsd where that cunt is concerned.

At this stage, Diaby is the only one I’ll get genuinely excited by. Hope we’re really in for him as I reckon so much of the “interest” in players we do have is massively overstated.

PSG are no further than we were in terms of this deal. They haven’t even agreed a price with his club yet. Just wait until they meet his agent.

Isak would be an upgrade on Miggy and Fraser but probably not as much as we think or hope he would, he loses the ball an awful lot.

Should have taken that 50m off Chelsea ?

I think the idea of it is far better than the reality, Messi hasn’t got much time left, Neymar isn’t wanted and Mbappe is on that retarded contract where he’ll be a poisonous influence if he chooses to be. The club have basically said the party is over in terms of Hollywood signings.. they want locals, ideally Parisians but at the very least French players. They paid big for a champions league and they failed, repeatedly. I said it before, once the World Cup is done with, their interest in PSG will dissipate.

Any Newcastle supporter who’s followed him on Instagram should cut him loose immediately. He’ll be back to a few thousand followers and realise the supporters of the club he’s going to don’t give two shits about him.

I think the main factor in his reasoning was buying into a project that would take 3-5 years to reach the place he thinks he’s capable of right now, he thinks PSG are that club. I’m not so sure, but I, like all of you are biased so we’re hardly gonna say he made the right decision. I’m not annoyed about it. Only want players here who want to be here.

As much as i would love us to sign Paqueta, he's not going to suddenly transform our midfield into one that's dominating possession. We need a proper defensive midfielder, yes Big Joe and Bruno can win the ball back and be progressive but that's very suited to the counter attack style. Imho, someone to sit in the middle that has the size and mobility to just cover that space and give the others (including Willock and Shelvey) the platform to do their best work. Shelvey in particular has not been the player we thought we were getting, he was never supposed to be someone sitting in front of the back 4.. we thought we were getting the Swansea version with lots of long range shots etc, and the truth is he hasn't really had all that much chance to be that guy because we were basically overrun in the middle over the last 5 years.

I’m really not holding any grudges against players who weren’t up to speed by the time Howe had his first few games. Most of them were capable of better but had been trained poorly by Bruce and were shell shocked by mid season. Slow physically and mentally. I think a Clark at 100% of his abilities would have been a solid 2nd/3rd choice for us before Burn came in. He’ll do a job for one of those sides looking to get promoted. His level is definitely top end champo/bottom end PL. Which you may ridicule but still puts him ahead of 60% of every other defender in English football. He’s had a decent career.

I’d say he waited to have at least a few training sessions to assess what he’d be up against and now clearly doesn’t fancy the fight. That should tell you everything about what we’ve just signed.

They actually have a retro shirt for sale on their site.. not a bad effort either

Some company who want to make our jersey posted a concept. I’d buy that..

3 years.. we’d have possibly the best defence in all of Europe. He’ll probably end up at Bayern or maybe Chelsea.. but for now I can dream.

Koulibaly has rejected Napoli’s contract offer.. would be available cheap enough but with massive wages I guess.. we should be all over that, be the perfect partner for Botman.

It’s very clever how they did it, outsourcing the work to medical companies to sign off on it, so it puts a distance between them and the hammer should it ever fall down.
