Yep, think Tomori is pretty damning proof that Southgate doesn't like picking people he can't go and watch week in, week out. That Tyrone Mings and Conor Coady went to the Euro's before him was a bit of a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It's genuinely going to be the best summer as a Newcastle fan since the early 00's, just enjoy it, don't get too hung up on every single rumour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just to throw my realistic shopping list into the mix: GK: Henderson. Will sadly spell the end for Dubravka, as he clearly won't want to be a number 2, but just feel Howe want's a keeper who is much more comfortable with the ball at his feet. CB: Sven Botman. Figure Fernandez and Clarke will be out the door. LB: Targett CM: Boubacar Kamara. Between Bruno, Joelinton, Willock and Shelvey I actually think this is the one area we don't need too much more cover in, but rather a top quality player who goes straight into the 11. Wide forward/inverted winger: Raphina. Will be tough as he will have plenty of options, but really think him on the right, Max on the left would be lethal. CF: Darwin Nunez. Don't think there's smoke without fire. We, as well as every upper mid-table side in Europe apparently, are being linked with him. Which would leave a 25 man squad looking like: GK Henderson, Woodman, Darlow DEF: Trippier, Manquillo, Botman, Burn, Schar, Lacelles, Targett, Lewis MID Bruno, Kamara, Joelinton, Willock, Shelvey, Longstaff FWD Nunez, ASM, Raphina, Fraser, Wilson, Wood, Murphy Extra space to make some daft signing. I don't know, Toni Kroos or someone mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bit weird imo, like its casual racism I was highlighting how African players and African people in general are often wrongly judged to fiddle their ages while also trying to throw my Mexican type shite banter into the mix, i.e all S.Americans are Mexican, all black people are African, all Africans fiddle their ages. Was funny in my own head I guess… If I offended anyone I do apologise and can also see how some people may misconstrue my post as something else. We all originate from Africa anyway, regardless of skin colour. Back to Zapata, even at 31 I’d still sign him, he’s dynamic from what I’ve seen, has pace to burn, presses so well for a forward and even if we only get a couple of decent seasons out of him it will be worth it.

I get the idea behind the joke. It was lame but not offensive at all (said as a black guy, Caribbean not African). The more egregious post was that recent silliness about a gut feeling Bruno will flop. And I say this as a long-standing fan of your posts (I’ve lurked on this site and it’s predecessor for 15 years + and used to love your epic essay posts - if you are the same person as the original HTT!)
