This is all going to come down to Isak and if he is going to agitate for this or not. I'm worried Liverpool are making an approach to us. Usually suggests they've already sounded out the player.

This season may the first one since I was a kid where I buy a keeper top...

Aye, you have hit the nail on the head in that second part. If we had made those signings in a year where we had no Europe then this squad, with those additions, assuming some luck went out way, could have at least pushed Arsenal/Liverpool.

Everyone just ignoring how lightweight we look whenever Joe doesn't play. He don't have anyone else like him.

Feel like thats his agent (or even Atalanta) putting the word out.

Do not underestimate their match day/stadium income. Pretty sure it's the biggest moneymaker stadium in Europe.

Once again, won't happen till tomorrow. The announcment that is. I imagine the lad is already officially a Newcastle player.

It will be Friday. Not ITK, just have a feeling. He will likely train with the lads today though.

These both ignore the fact we take aaaaagggggeeeeesssss with this stuff. I am saying 5pm Friday for the official announcement. But I expect he will be training with the lads from tomorrow.

Lad clearly learned his lesson re posting any random crap someone DMs him........

I cannot condone the levels of cringe found in the last few pages of this thread. Almost makes me long for the days when we had no clue what was happening with this!

Funnily enough, and kind of encapsulating the general online toon discourse, the truth is somewhere between these two extreme points. Would concur that the two headline bits of our business would be done. Would also suggest that, if we do indeed have some PSR space, this Summer is a good chance to add 'project players' and prep the squad for ongoing European competition.

Was also Ashworth who got Botman over the line, after we had failed to do so in the window before he arrived. Genuinely think if he'd not have had his head turned by those cunts he'd be thriving here now. Supposedly one of his big gripes was Staveley.

Not normally a negative lad, but why do I get the feeling that this afternoon we'll either get a "Much more work still to do on this, the two sides aren't close on a fee" or "Chelsea submit offer for Elanga" type tweet??

Fucking awful news. RIP.

I'll wait for @The College Dropout paragraph by paragraph rebuttal before taking it all in. Not reading it twice like.

The state of this thread. The window is open for another 2 months yet.

Technically we've already had the Romano 'here we go' on Pedro... was just back in 2022.

I don't think they have a limit they will spend on any one player. I think we refuse to go above what we value a player at, still trying to train clubs that we won't be held to ransom for a Saudi tax. I think that 50/55m figure is more down to us knowing we need a few players and still having a limited budget

Miley will get way more minutes next season, think he will move past Willock as being the first midfield sub

George Lucas two/only notes he would apparently give whilst directing were 'faster, more intense'. Pretty sure Eddie could knock out a decent Star wars film.

People just say this like he isn't the player we miss the most when he isn't playing.

His seeming refusal to do any sort of intense pressing surely rules him out of our scouting immediately.

In addition to this, I think our first transfer will come from out of nowhere and only break when it's almost done.
