Alvarez to City is still to be announced ?

Midweek league game sold out well in advance, it’s a long time since we’ve seen those days.

Absolutely, they’ve been very agile in the transfer market. Very impressive January window for such football novices.

Still tentative links to St Juste and Fofana. Would be absolutely over the moon to add Fofana to our midfield, we’d instantly have an elite midfield overnight.

At this point I think a decent CB signed and I’m confident we have enough to stay up. The midfield position is a key upgrade, it should make a huge difference to us in terms of possession and protecting the back 4. Being greedy though, if we could still pull Lingard off it would gives us another dimension alongside St Max and potentially make us very good to watch for the remainder of season. Still think we’ll see another big story in the next couple of days involving a striker, potentially Nunez, Zapata or Isak, but have a feeling that might be just out of our reach this window. Great times.

Most attacking centre back partnership in the league alongside Schar. Attack attack attack attack attack

Parallel negotiations for multiple players if it is us, back up option in case Bruno falls through perhaps.

We we’re also linked with Paqueta earlier in the window, I’m presuming he is a more attacking midfielder. https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/8100426/lyon-lucas-paqueta-newcastle-transfer-snub/

‘A deal for Lyon’s Bruno Guimarães is close. Arguments over the fee aren’t thought to be unsurmountable. They are working on other eye-catching deals’. “If they don’t have their players in before Monday it’s going to be carnage,” one recruitment executive predicted of the last minute rush. The first big test of the takeover is fast approaching.

Good watch that, particularly when he talks about how he’ll fit into our lineup with Shelvey.

Chelsea forging links with a Newcastle school really boiled my fucking piss. Under Ashley we’d even accepted defeat in scouting youngsters from our own catchment area.

One of the best things about the takeover for me, it’s great being able to sign top players but keeping our best young players is just as important. Gone are the days when this club bends over for the scousers and co.

Exactly, if we stay up there’ll be few places in football more exciting this summer.

So much for us being a feeder club for Inter aye. Guess the mackems and everyone else will just have to accept we’re a global super power forever.

We’ve got the worlds most fanatical fans and we’ve also got Ferdinand and Ginola, la la la la Ginola.

I get the distinct impression Edwards would love Staveley to lose the management contract. The bloke certainly isn’t on the same wave length as the support this morning.

Probably waiting for Matt Lawton or Jason Burt to file the article. They’ll give him a line to add on at the end so he can add his name.

Same with ‘we are the Geordie boys’ sang at a 1000 mph. You only need to listen to Rangers singing their version of it to realise slower is so much better.

Hopefully some good social media content from the club on this trip, sponsorship announcements and new signings flown out. Exciting week ahead for the club HTFL.

Massive upgrade but would spar well clear if he has investigation going on. For 50 million Kamara is out of contract at end of the season, you could probably get him and Fofana for 50 million.

Great view of away fans here, goal celebrations @7.13. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cpywMFRhWVM
