What about that Kevin Zefi kid?

Conspiracy theory: wonder if the Saudi league taking all of Chelsea’s deadwood and bailing them out ffp wise might have earned us a bit of favour with Chelsea and they might be willing to do some business with us now? Don’t think we’ve done business with any of the ‘big 6’ so far despite being linked with many of their players.

They were all busy finding out if our Barella smoke screen was true

His switch out to Barnes was great too, don’t think any of our other players use that technique to switch the ball

This is what I’m going with

Don’t think he’s overpriced, he scored more than Trent last season who costs 8m. I think our tough schedule to start off the season is what’s putting people off him.

Saw someone post on Twitter that we’ve always made our big money signings at the end of each window. Bruno, Isak, Gordon were all close to deadline day.

Do we have a league for Newcastle online?

Wonder if it’s a great idea telling the whole world that playing hardball is one of our negotiation strategies

Miggy got the goal but his link up play is really frustrating at times. Murphy didn’t look out of place at all next to Botman. Wonder what’s gonna happen with Gordon and Barnes minutes considering Gordon hasn’t played any of the pre season games at RW.

As much as I hate to say it, Man Utd are definitely going to be better this season. Just replacing Dea Gea with Onana is going to give them a massive boost with how Ten Hag will be able to implement his style of play

Wait we didn’t get 15m for Wood?

I think it came down to wages in the end. I’m glad we didn’t give Maddison the wages he’s going to be on at Tottenham.

Anybody got any NUFC podcast recommendations? Or any good general football podcasts?

We need Milanista part 2, Inter edition. Hopefully it’s not another 2 transfer window saga

Really want to see Gordon start. 40m+ and he’s only looked positive when he’s been ok the pitch.

A Howe’d Heung Min Son anyone? His time at Tottenham seems to be up.

Anyone else wonder if this whole thing is just a part of the sportswashing process? As soon as the fans (who are desperate for new ownership) are pitted against the PL or other powers that be, that's when the fans start arguing the case for why Qatar or whoever should be allowed to own a football club. Same happened when it was NUFC fans vs the PL.

The Liverpool vs Man U 7-0 was: Liverpool 2.09-0.48 Manchester United for comparison

Antony lacks explosive pace to go past his man, this means he lacks the ability to go both inside and outside and makes him too predicatble to defend against. He's good at dribbling and maintaining possession (which is why Ten Hag likes him in his system) but he can't actually create anything in the premier league. I think Sancho's problem is down to his mentality.

Klopp is a long term admirer of Willock and he would solve the problems they have had since Wijnaldum left them.

What do people think about taking a punt on Isak instead of Watkins? I'm thinking of transferring Haaland (who blanks this week and plays liverpool the week after) to Isak or Watkins who play this week and have a double gameweek the week after. And then Transferring Toney to get Haaland back in gameweek 30.

Last time he went on international duty was when he picked up his injury I think

Yeah. Arsenal also do similar with White making the 3 and Zinchenko going wherever he wants. They also used to do the same with Tomiyasu on the right making the 3 and Tierney bombing forward.
