Paulinho

Can people not see it’s the midfield that’s the problem? It’s completely non-existent.

Not cashing in last month will come back to bite us.

They’re randomers who’ve never stepped foot in Europe and probably had a Newcastle result in a bet. Do you think they’re remotely arsed?

The last 6 weeks have been absolute torture for a lot of hysterics.

Midfield remains our weakest area - very little mobility or protection of the defence in there. Would expect Semenyo to cut through us at will. Hopefully their finishing is as bad as Wolves’.

Net score of 24-3 in the last 9. Pretty mad.

Is that what’s happening at Newcastle? We’re losing our best players while getting further and further away from winning a trophy? Completely bizarre fantasy where people think moving to a 70k corporate bowl at the Silverlink would magically produce success. It wouldn’t, it’d just further neuter the match day experience while allowing gorms on the internet to brag about attendances like Top Trumps.

Any fee would be <£1m and completely trivial for PSR purposes. If Dubravka contributes to us finishing a single place higher than otherwise - which is hardly implausible given how good we and he have been recently - it would likely generate more revenue in this PSR period than whatever fee we'll get for him.

Barnes an absolute horror show anywhere outside the final third.

Gordon’s turned into Grealish.

The hardcore anti-Howe element amongst our (online) fanbase are such low-IQ creeps. They make my skin crawl.

Same with him declaring the Euros a failure in that ITV interview. He’s right obviously but the lads who actually played every/most minutes and got to the final probably won’t appreciate it.

Gordon has lost all conviction in his game. Worrying (unironically).

One of the darkest days in the history of this club.

They might be shitting themselves over having to embed two new centre backs straight into a faltering team and what it could mean for Premier League survival.
