hope we arent paying salary for him last 2 weeks, and getting lawyers checking how much we can sue him for maybe if we sell him. Liverpool better gets the money to make it close to 150m.

cant help the feeling we would have got the 3 points if we managed to sign a blood striker in last 2 months. Villa was there for taking.

wish we actually signed striker all week but we couldnt. really hope its not gonna cost us points vs Villa. not even having yet a Wilson upgrade-replacement is sick. this fucker still not given up he wants leave us in the dirt, Liverpool just waiting imo for us to become very uncomfortable and accept a lower fee i last few days of the window?

huge cunt but karma wont forget this. someone will tackle him very hard later on if he plays for Liverpool thats all I am gonna say. he should pray this not to be Bruno. force as much out of those ugly fuckers Liverpool. surely needs to be lot closer to 150m than 120. will be disappointed otherwise.

didnt have time today to follow the news, so did he train, and still separately?

bit of positive news, it was ABOUT TIME

imagine Eddie puts him in the line up tonight and he makes a scene LOL this you "cant train with us" aint a real punishment, as imo thats what he wants. he is avoiding playing vs Celtic, Asia Tour and the two games now to avoid any injury that can change Liverpools mind.

so what is he like plan F or plan J? dont care, just get a striker with some potential at this point..

I am ok for Howe to win a bit of power over transfers and get this useless DoF out but then the way how summer unfolded so far sadly leads back to the interim transfer committee. High level decision needed from PIF how this DoF/manager relation should work in the future, problem is I can see Howe doesnt want someone to set a direction and have its own transfer ideas where Howe can chime in between vrious targets offered up and he wants the choose the targets himself but then that may not fit with DoFs overall ideas creating tension. can see this problem to arise when new CEO and DoF in place and a new CEO will want to give power to his own new hire of DoF. delicate situation that DoF doesnt want to be undermined by Howe and neither the other way around.

wonder if it would help if Shearer would put some pressure on PIF in the media. something to hurt their pride a bit and get a reaction from them. or a bit passive aggressive like "I know the owners working extremely hard to help making Newcastle Champions as promised and promises are extremely important in Saudi Arabia" and then Yasir reading it thinking oh actually we arent, but he is right, we should be

clearly we focus on outgoings last few days. incomings can wait...

good point, hard to say. usually some director and DoF for other clubs, almost always 2-3 persons. dug up from the draw of CL group 23-24, our delegate that time: Eales, Ashworth, who is the third guy (on the left)? asked chatgp, bloody hell first it said Eales on the left and Silverstone in middle, then told him its deffo Eales in the middle who is on left? he said Silverstone, I said thats not him, then he said that Steve Nickson, then told him he is way older who is on the left ffs, AI says good catch, thats actually Jason Tindall with the beard, I said impossible who the hell is that and this came up from chatgpt: "I am confident that the man on the left in this photo is actually Shola Ameobi, but the man shown here is white, with a trimmed beard, so that also rules Shola out." WTF

so he trained separately all week basically. tomorrow another training in the morning then friendly at evening vs Espanyol. he should be in the VIP if he has any injuries but I guess he will not be in the stadium. I bet he hoped we get there with Sesko and then we bend over to Liverpool.

Romano having a pic shared of him sitting with his agent on private plane to Manchester, didnt see that pic elsewhere, its clear proof agent is sharing stuff and intel with Romano.

I think it will be two different 11s for the two games, trying to give close to 90 mins for 20+ players. as it starts to get more and more likely we dont have a striker to play vs Villa, we need to try both Osula and Gordon up there I just dont think its a great role for them. what a shit window so far.

I think Spurs showed with Kane that temporary solution can work. of course him coming through their ranks was different situations but Kane really wanted to go to City, he had verbal agreement for certain offers with Spurs and Levy didnt care, kept him, then sold him a year later for lesser price abroad which is the main point, they didnt want to see him at league rival. Kane sulked a bit but then fought for Spurs even in that last season. Isak is in a year leading up to a WC, also in CL, lot to fight for, and we aint losing too much on his value even next summer. who knows maybe more suitors come to the front especially from abroad (Barca, PSG...) did he made it clear he wants to leave? maybe. we need to make it clear our situation too which is a fucking shit situation right now and more important than what Isak wants simple as that. selling him for 130-135 (I cant see Liverpool going higher), spend huge on Jackson who is half of the striker, and bit of liability mentally also off for Afcon for weeks. it also sends bad message to other players, shows them a way what to do if they want out.

I dont know if club fully aware we have CL this season which requires us to have much deeper squad with more rotation and heavy test coming to see how good quality are our 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th etc best player in the squad. because if Howe tries too keep same 11 during August through end of October, we will be fucked before Christmas. we have added Elanga and Ramsdale so far and a young Korean winger who may not even feature this season much. dont care we tried for bigger names, as trying wont get the job done when those games coming up vs Bayern, PSG, Atletico, Napoli etc, after a hard weekend game vs Arsenal, City or Chelsea.. losing Isak and replace with with a worse striker just adds to the issues. 24 days left of the window, really hope serious movements are happening in next 12 days rather than the 12 days after.

only tiny loophole we decided to go with those bullshit transfers of agreeing with Forest to buy Vlach, and they buy Anderson, sadly they came out pretty well from that swap they got a decent starter for them, we got a shit GK. Villa and Chelsea did few of these moves to help each other with PSR too. bringing in various sponsors, stadium, training kit etc., selling any infrastructure to ourselves, women team all could have been done without any repercussions. and then even the City vs PL fight on APT rules shed the light on Newcastle specifically how our takeover made rivals pushing through votes on illegal rules despite legal advice. we should have jumped into it asking for clarification ad put Masters to the test, but we are so quiet on that too we almost dont care and dont want to upset the cartel. and certainly the cartel doesnt want us to upset them either or become a regular CL side on their expense PIF needs to be more active, but not sure how far down we are on their priority list. Saudi world cup, the build up of Saudi league etc is significantly more important, and this is something PSG and City didnt have with their owners who kept pushing hard despite Uefa investigations etc. Qatar even did the whole world cup but it didnt effect PSGs finances, if anything they put more money into it they whipped up media interest at the time of Messi-Neymar-Mbappe brutal trio.

ok, so lets do a two weeks saga for him, only for him choosing Spurs and leaving as with red face around 22d of August with still no striker arrived. while Wissa picked up by a Saudi club lol.

Brentford havent got any attacker in yet did they? losing Mbeumo and Wissa and having 3 weeks left for replacements quite bad outcome if if they end up with 100m+ from sales. oh and Frank replaced by one of his staff member. expect a brutal shit season for them.

are we stil waiting around for him if Man Utd cannot turn up with the cash?

sounds like 2 weeks of saga after we wont get him and wasted serious time to find it out leaving us brutal desperate. who starts upfront vs Villa is all I want to know.

whats with training today? still separated?

haha PIF driving the price up for us on him?

2m fee most likely, not bad. bye bye Dubs so how many GKs we have left now? Pope, Ramsdale, Vlacho, Gilllespie and is even Ruddy still around? if yes I would still try to sell two...
