Are you infatuated with Benitez?

Rafa is a no-go boys. Pochettino deal is done and Harry Kane will be on his way too!

It's more interesting to read than a Hatice Cengiz letter to the Premier League though.

Sometimes the shit he spouts (like this latest vid) is just funny. Even Andy Gray winced at it.

Who was it that was quoting June 1st, Chronicle? That date is next week anyway.

Fucks sake. Admin trying to have a crack on man

He probably only wanted Loftus Cheek on the chance he could get him on loan as Charnley/MA wouldn't give the go-ahead for a fee big enough to get Barkley or anyone else of similar ilk.

Rafa would make Stones better when Guardiola couldn't? I feel as though Stones knows if he makes a mistake he's out of that Man City team. Rafa would put an arm around him and make him part of the backbone of a new look Newcastle. Stones has been poor of late but I definitely think there is a better player in there. I think Stones needs more than an arm around him. Benitez doesn't improve every player. Stones hasn't came close to being the finished article they thought he would at City under Guardiola. Doubt he would here.

Rafa would make Stones better when Guardiola couldn't?

Take him over pochettino

He has also tweeted if it doesn’t happen this week then it’s time to question if it will happen at all. Wonder if Keys has twisted his other arm

I wonder if Jason Burt has twisted his arm

That article is 3 days old. We're due a new fresh article out in the next couple of hours from Craig Hope that will put the whole deal in jeopardy.

See what we sign first before deciding which of our shift to bin off.

At the end of the day, as long as we're no longer signing cheap shit like Ki or Bentaleb I'm happy.

Quality that McClaren one.

We should probably put all this transfer talk on hold anyway. We're a few hours away from Craig Hope or Rob Draper publishing details that there's new evidence that has put the takeover in the balance

Just buy ten Ajax players and play them with ASM.

I remember it being on nufc.coms match report for that game that their groundsman went in a right tantrum at full time in front of the Newcastle fans and had to be escorted down the tunnel. Or something like that.

Aye. Tbh, Roan only asked what every other reporter would have asked had they had the chance to speak to Masters . I don't see what Roan has done wrong in that clip in fairness.

If we can afford to get Benitez back at Newcastle and out of his contract in China I'd imagine we'd have a deep pockets. Rondon was cracking for us and I was disappointed we didn't sign him permanently but it is what it is. Do you think if Benitez had total control of transfers during his time at us do you reckon Rondon would have been his number 1 target in the summer of 2018? Im not so sure. We only moved for him because he was cheap and we could swap him for Gayle. I bet if Benitez had a decent sum to spend on a striker back in 2018 he probably would have looked at other options before ending up at Rondon.

Roan replied to a few tonight saying he reckons the deal will go through. No idea if that's inside info or just his hunch.

If we have money to burn we can do a shit load better than Rondon.

I don’t read his articles but on Twitter he’s far from ”ok”. You get the impression he knows nothing at all. Just stirring shit and hunting clicks. Almost as if his step up to the Telegraph hasn't been what he had expected it to be. I bet he's like Veronica Corningstone in the Anchorman when he's in office. Constantly asking the lead editor for better stories whilst Jason Burt and the boys get all the juicy scoops

Luke Edwards trying to put a pisser on it tonight.
