So as of now it's just Pope, Vlachodimos, Aidan Harris, and Gillespie.

As of now we'll have only Pope, Aidan Harris, and Vlachodimos under contract I think (?) Assuming the latter two are loaned, I think we'd definitely be: -retaining Gillespie for another year as a practice goalkeeper -signing a real rival for Pope -signing another Ruddy-type veteran as backup.

Not saying Gordon's behaviour has been exemplary all season, but if I'm Ross Wilson/David Hopkinson and I've got this 70m deal lined up for Gordon with us in 15th place with 4 games to go, I'm absolutely telling Eddie Howe not to play him.

Who knows, but it seems pretty clear to me that from the club's point of view, given the risks involved and the past few transfer-window fiascos (Anderson/Minteh fire sale, Isak debacle), the order must have on not to risk playing him in the last few games (when the chance of making Europa league was very remote anyway).

I think it was the club's decision, or maybe agreed between Newcastle and Barcelona. From the club's point of view, they have a huge deal lined up that will set the terms of the entire transfer window (which has to be successful this time), they can't risk Gordon getting injured and messing it all up.

Bring him home.

Need a result from Spurs here to keep our Conference League dream alive.

Can we try him as Why not just bring him back and make him our starting keeper?

I don't mind the stripe pattern but I don't like the blue everywhere. That design with no blue and a collar (black) would look better.

Can't believe nobody posted in his thread for 14 years.

He and Schar are the last two Benitez-signed players.

Our longest-serving current player now?

From Carabao to Qarabag

Couldn't decide between Gordon and Barnes so Eddie benched them both, I see.

Botman? Tonali? Pope?

Burn

They finished 17th last year, Frank has got them up to 14th at least.

Where's Murphy?

#3 Robson was replaced with #15 Souness, so why should Robson have been removed earlier (to give Souness even more time as manager)?

Asked for an update on fellow defenders Jamaal Lascelles and Dan Burn, Howe said: “Jamaal is okay. He’s still feeling his body is not 100% right so he’s not involved at the moment." wtf does that mean? https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/howe-fears-newcastle-star-could-235600433.html

Is Lascelles still alive?

Alex Murphy is on the bench.

Carver was interim too, he shouldn't even count.

Utter wok nonsense.

Yeah, if we assume 3 of the CL places will go to Arsenal/City/Villa, then we'll have to beat out either Chelsea or Liverpool for 5th.
