Who you preferring for midfield and a forward (assuming one of them is Wissa)? Is Pacqueta pie in the sky? We saw the pull Osula had for Elanga, so maybe that would help here. Think Luiz could do a job too and Juve had made it clear he's available by trying to chuck him in that rumored Vlahovic <> Tonali shambles.

We watching the same game? I mean he's just a young'un, but he looks properly out of his depth to me. Has done next to nowt on the ball. Lacks the physicality we've traditionally wanted under Howe. Obviously just opinion. Hopefully he can kick on.

Missed the Targett a bit there, am I right?

Matt Targett the next midfield experiment from Howe. Joelinton 2.0. You heard it here first

Jumping the gun a bit but tomorrow: Pope Tino Botman (injured last we heard - maybe young Murph?) Lascelles Trips Tonali Hernes (?) Joelinton Barnes Gordon Elanga

Tomorrow's game innit.

They'll probably get £100m from PIF (Saudi team)

Hopefully. Also mate, can't believe you're rocking the proceding hairline fella as your profile pic. Feel like I'm being haunted whenever I see you in threads now.

Nee fucker will take that flaky scab like, not on his wages. Good chance he starts the season too with Hall getting back to fitness.

Tryna eat lunch pal, can ya not?

Absolutely. We cannot sell Isak to Liverpool. It's not even that I dislike the scousers (at least historically), but everyone and their Da would have our fucking eyes out over our purples season-in season-out. It sets an absolutely fucking awful precedent.

Odds we get an only wanted Newcastle from the Fiat Fucker if/when this goes through?

Basically holds our crumbling window up now. If we fail on Wissa I might become a Blue Star fan.

Bring him hyem

That's a shot out of the dark regarding Pavlidis. Not sure on that Brazilian journo. Link seems tenuous. Anyway, there's a decent article on Pavlidis by a young Swedish scout/analyst titled The Striker Your Club Should Sign, if you're into breakdowns.

Aye but gotta do something to stave off the abject misery and boredom from the proper state of this shite window.

My perfect scenario would be PSG and though Isak has thrown his toys out saying only Liverpool, surely PSG has some draw? Current champions, fantastic team, money fits. For us it could work too, they have players we could use + money. Ramos, Kolo Muani, Lee Kang-In, Asencio (at a stretch). We were interested in Ramos prior to signing Isak, since his Benfica days too.

Nevermind deadline day, we play Villa next Saturday and it's looking likely we'll have Gordon/Osula upfront.

Nee way. At that price we'd get dicked on by bigger clubs even if bids are accepted.

Agree with your former point. Latter though.. Not sure how you see this as a failing on the club (although there are many others). Brentford are unwilling to part ways until they get replacements in, and you can't blame them as they've also been fucked this window. Unless you think chucking £50m+ will force their hand, but not sure how wise that is.

We've been well and truly done here like. Usually the agent/player/club (and nowadays journos on the books) use competing clubs to drive up the fee and wages. In this case, they've accepted less on the fee and wages (reportedly, not sure I believe it) to go to Man Fucking U. At some point, rightly or wrongly, a general perspective may form that NUFC is an unattractive destination. The media are currently seemingly helping push this agenda. It's wank really. As usual, we need a strong year on the grass to keep proving (to others) why Newcastle with Eddie at the front is a team on the ascendancy. I back him regardless of this transfer window.

Getting blisters on me arse sitting in this cuck chair for so long. Fucksake

I disagree. Jackson only comes on the proviso is Isak is gone, Wissa comes regardless. We'll see soon anyway, and at the figures mentioned it's not terrible financially even if not inspiring.

Except Wissa is the replacement for Wilson and Jackson is for Isak (potentially).
