A lot depends on where Howe sees Bruno playing long term aswell, is he our holding player or more advanced ? I thought Longstaff did really well last couple of games and we looked much better without Shelvey. However, if Bruno plays advanced we definitely need another genuine CM to avoid the risk of having to revert back to Shelvey due to an injury.

Aye, Paqueta wouldn’t be your stereotypical speed merchant wide right, but he’d offer another type of threat in that line up.

What happens if Bruno gets crocked are you as confident in our midfield then ? Personally i want both another CM and a right winger, but we have to accept we might not have all bases covered by the end of the window.

Sangare looks a serious unit, I was personally hoping we’d go for Haidara but they seem pretty similar in terms of style. Sangare apparently has this release clause which would make it a cheaper and an easier deal to do. If we can’t get Diaby I see no reason not to go for Paqueta, unless Eriksen is a possibility. We’d still have St Max, Almiron, Joelinton, and Anderson for the wide areas. Ideally in terms of options going forward I’d love to see Antony and Eriksen signed. We’d have our right sided forward and another creative midfielder.

Surely just a matter of time before Fabrizio tweets ‘here we go’ on this now….. Paulo admits there is no way they can compete with a nation, unlucky Paulo we’ve been there to.

Any chance if Lascelles, Clark and Fernandez go that we sign 2 centre half’s this summer ? I think this is going to be fluid and if a good bid comes in for Lascelles I could see him leaving aswell.

The PGA tour are shitting themselves a bit like the American PL owners at the minute. Something about the yanks and not liking competition.

Looks a right hard fucker Bremer but apparently not the best footballer.

Was watching this yesterday and he does love a sliding tackle this lad.

There’ll be a restraining order served on you soon Fanny lad.

Oh dear Hugo’s stock might have just fallen.

?

Let’s hope the video of Nunez being a dud is an accurate reflection of him then. Must admit I’d gone off the idea of signing him for the price quoted, but it’s hard to argue if Klopp rates him that highly.

Surely if the billionaire man child feels this way and is committed to these cunts, he’d just make an offer for the 39% himself ? “Neither I nor any employee from SAFC has had any dialogue with the cryptocurrency group 'The Fans Together' and although a timely conclusion to this matter is preferable, any transfer of shares must not compromise the club's integrity. All shareholders must also be qualified to take the club forward in line with EFL Governance and have alignment with the values and principles of SAFC and its supporters, as well as our long-term strategy."

Would save us 50 million on Paqueta aswell and allow us to spend it elsewhere. Bruno’s fucking great but having someone else who can unlock the door in a tight game would be massive.

Could have been worse surely, they could have been taken over by wealthy murdering Arabs. The new moral guardians of football should surely be welcoming this fan owned initiative ? They’ll have their club back and it’ll have been paid for by pure, hard earned supporters cash. It’s not about being rich for these lads, get the cans in Glendenning and Exile great day for the North East.

Would love Eriksen for a season or 2, so intelligent he could be our catalyst to become a top 8 team. Surround him with pace and he could be our Henrik Larsson or Jari Litmanen.

This was the journalist mentioned obviously wasn’t Haidara then. Was very excited when we signed Silvio Maric, hopefully this one would turn out better.

Think there might be a link to Haidara from one of these foreign journalists on Twitter today. Hopefully it has substance as would be a tremendous signing.

Ake does nowt for me would far rather go for one of the younger European options that have been linked. We got an experienced PL defender in Burn, we should gamble on someone with a higher ceiling than Ake, especially at the price quoted. Ake and DCL are lazy options, there’s far more exciting and better value options out there.

Ndicka or Badiashile would both fit the bill if he does choose Milan.

New name in the mix and fits the age profile they’re looking at.

This bloke was a regular caller after every match on radio newcastle, sure he was from the Boro but big Newcastle fan.

Michael Beale has been the tactical nouse behind Gerrard’s management from the off. Be very interesting to see if he can get another top coach in, if he doesn’t I can see it unravelling at Villa next season.
