Ffs had forgotten about him, geezz they horde wingers dont they.

Good Willock replacement

Another young talent about to get lost in Chelsea’s loan army…

Can this thread not go the way of the dodo bird now please. 🐦🙏 I do get hate watching but this is a bit over the top.

Kroupi and Rayan are prime examples. They've only been in the league for one season and they're already worth more than double what Bournemouth paid. With a budget of 150 million, you could get 4 or 5 really good youngsters to mix into our team, and we'd be right back in the hunt for the top 4 or 5. We just need to get our scouting right, like a lot of people say. Let's just do what Chelsea and Liverpool do to us and gazump the Brightons and Bournemouths.

They've moved on from the Tonali or Bruno talk, they're on Hall now. Clickbait.

We should not be selling Tonali. Unless he pushes for the move ala Isak.

They need less than 14 points imo.. 30 points should be about enough to stay up this season.

It's kinda funny how we're still chatting about Big Joe, Anderson, and Miniteh. Folks like TCD, debate endlessly and over and over about how we lost two young players and 100 mill worth etc and how our money situation isn't great, etc. We sold them four transfer windows ago, and what have we done since then? We won a trophy folks and scored a goal at Wembley in a cup final. Some of the players we bought last summer have settled in, some haven't, but are we already calling them bad buys after 6 months? We all know how eddie improves players and how we have been successful with that. As forum posters, it's easy to form an opinion and go all out with it. If it turns out to be wrong, you'll just make another one and go all out with that, over and over again. (Ahem, TCD). The people in charge, like Eddie, don't have that luxury; they don't hide behind a keyboard; they get one shot at it. So far, I don't think they've led us astray. The last four years, which most people are criticizing, have been the most successful in recent memory. Go figure.

These opinions usually pop up when we're not doing so great. Last season, after the Brentford game, the same folks went wild about it. Once we started winning, got a trophy, and made it to the Champions League, they shut up. Now they're back at it. Talking about long term strategy etc when we literally in the CL, semis of a cup and in the top 24 of the CL. All whilst being 4 points of 5th, which most likely would be a CL place again this season. We are on a bad run yes..but we not in the gutter just yet.

Again basing on speculation that someone would pay 100mil for Bruno.. or 60 million for big Joe with 18 months left. Why not wait till the summer and get him for 35. Also Luiz went for 42 million not 50. And Villa had to buy 2 youngsters from Juvie as part of the deal. Dont let facts get in the way hey 😂

How much would we have gotten for big Joe? With 18 months left on his contract? Also you are basing thisnon the fact that someone was in for Big Joe that January.. a lot of ifs in that scenario. However even if we sold him and kept Anderson and miniteh we we still would have needed to sell in order to buy again. I am only disputing your claim that he had everything under control. He definitely didn't thats why he jumped ship at the 1st opportunity.

The issue with TCD's argument is that he only looks at resale value for every transfer. Wissa was brought in to replace Wilson, as an older, experienced EPL striker who was averaging 15 goals/assists a season. He was supposed to help Wolte settle and join our leadership group. Remember Bruno's goal against Burnley? Wissa was celebrating front and center with Howe. Same with Miley's winner against Fulham. Elanga is 23 and hasn't been "Howe'd" yet. I'll give him some time to settle. Gordon looked awful when he first came in, and Murphy was a League 2 player, but Howe turned them around. I'll give Elanga time. Some of these opinions might not age well, Howe has proven himself time and again.

Didn't we sell Minteh and anderson in order to satisfy psr? Didnt we not sign a player for like 3 windows ? I mean what psr game was he playing? He saw the psr hole we were in and jumped ship at the 1st opportunity.

So, if we'd given Isak a new contract last summer, would that have stopped him from leaving this summer? I think you're making this too simple. We could've given Tino a new contract last year, but would that stop him from wanting to go to Man City next summer? Same goes for Hall and all our best players. Gordon got a new contract, but do you really think if Liverpool came calling this past summer he wouldn't have pushed for the move? As Newcastle fans, after the whole Isak thing, we should know by now that contracts and extensions mean squat if a bigger club comes knocking. We just have to hope the player doesn't make a scene. If Isak doesn't go on strike, we'll probably get more than 125 for him or he would still be leading the line for us. That goes for Tino, Hall and Tonali, they dont do an Isak then I think we get our valuation or they stay.
