Yeah agree on the ground requirements probably not great. My comment was more the odd t20 game to grow the sport. E.g. they already play the odd game in gosforth. Your rugby comment doesn’t make much sense, Leazes Park is probably closer to gosforth than Kingston Park. Also historically they were Gosforth, they are now Newcastle.

Excited to see some plans. I may be dreaming here but with the Falcons in trouble and if they fail to find investment Kingston Park stadium could potentially be turned into housing. This would leave nowhere for the women’s team to play. Could a 10,000-15,000 seated stadium be built next to the new stadium? Would be perfect for big u21 and women’s game. We could also rent it out for Falcons games, Durham cricket games in summer? And smaller giggs helping FFP throughout the year. Would be great for the city to have local sports teams playing in the city centre.

Yeah agree with all of that!

The majority of our recent goals conceded have come aerially. This would definitely help us going forward but it may make us concede more.

Were you at the Forest Newcastle match? Or a different one? He was brilliant. Throughout the whole game we only started playing well after he came on. The pundits had a 10 min analysis on how well he played after the game. He’s had a tricky time of it over the last year but as a fan it’s important to give credit where it is due.

Best player on the pitch after he came on. Fair play

If only it was all that simple. The truth is there is a trade off between keeping players and the ability to buy new players because of the legislation in place.

Apologies for saying I don’t think Guehi is worth £70M. I’ll try not to disagree with you again.

Read your post back. Put emphasis on ‘Honestly you’d think some on here had decades of experience working in football analytics they way they speak with such utter authority.’ And try to see the irony lol

has a go at someone else ‘starting a fight’. Starts next post with ‘excuse me’. Califiori was just named in the Serie A team of the season. Hes not tested in the premier league yet but over the last 12 months he was one of the best cb’s in Europe…

Calafiori?

Ok, I’ll sit back and wait for all these £100M CB’s that will be bought/ sold. I don’t think there’ll be many…

Similar money? Just the 30% less for a player with a far greater ceiling.

Not that many. The highest transfer fee this whole summer is £65m. Other than Brighton clubs have spent less this summer than the last few windows. PSR/FFP will cause transfer fees to drop as we are seeing now. I honestly don’t think the list would be that long. Arsenal have just signed one of the best defenders in Europe for £37M.

How many CB’s have been sold for more than £70M?
