I don't hate Bellamy at all, he was class for us and it was the knacker Souness that got rid of him.

Bloke has been cleared of rape , absolutely nothing wrong with fellow professionals liking that, I bet they have to put up with these sort of accusations all the time .

Can you not just terminate the contracts of all the dead wood we have ? Pay them off and free up more wages for FFP?

I agree they will get a European spot, but it will be Europa league or conference league .

True but it’s not as simple as that, think they had the best form in the league since Emery was appointed at one stage didn’t they , that sort of form isn’t sustainable in the long run as we all know, if it was then they would win the league next season.

I agree but I would be surprised if they finished above us next season.

I wouldn’t swap Eddie for Unai.

Emery wouldn’t have gone near Villa unless he was told they had millions to spend , it way always going to happen. Still be very surprised if they finish anywhere near where we did last season.

Buy Barnes, sell Maxi, buy Chiesa.

13 league goals last season , more than Maxi has scored in his entire time here , great signing if it happens .

Jacob Steinberg Wed 5 Jul 2023 19.32 BSTFollow Jacob Steinberg Newcastle are leading the race to sign Leicester’s Harvey Barnes, who is a target for Aston Villa, Tottenham and West Ham.

Barnes is a good player and has lots of potential, he got 13 league goals last season in a relegated team , for comparison Maxi has scored 12 league goals in four seasons for us .

Barnes fits our system a lot more than Maxi and Eddie will obviously know this .

I like him but you don't get very far with inconsistent injury prone wingers, no other teams in the top 6 would want him and we should be no different, if we can get 30 or 40 million for him we should sell.

But but but the nasty glazers don’t spend money .

Agree with most of that but Joelinton should be A.

They reckon Clarke should be going for like 25 million , how many championship players ever go for that?

He was obviously a wanker but comfortably did better for Newcastle than any other manager Ashley appointed. Unless we include Keegan in that but he Doesn't really count under Ashley.

It’s obvious he’s not the right fit for our intense pressing style , good player no doubt but not the right fit for us and Eddie obviously knew this .

If I was Kane I would certainly value winning a few Bundesliga titles and German FA cup equivalents, along with a good chance of the champions league ahead of wining nothing with Spurs but beating the goal record .

He is a typical Spurs signing , very good player but not elite , they will finish 6th or 7th next season with a team full of Maddison level players .

The fact I couldn’t care less if he goes to Spurs over us says it all.

I don't think we can opt into it until Monday?

Not sure on that, I genuinely think Arsenal over achieved massively in the first half of last season, the second half of the season and the results they had from April onwards I think are more representative of the level they are at. I think they will be anywhere between 2nd and 5th next season but nowhere near challenging for the title.

Better for us if Rice goes to Man City, we aren't catching them whilst Pep is still about but no reason why we cant compete with Arsenal.
