Bit more subtle use of wearing the black and white shirt this time! 

 

Join us..

 

Despite all the teasing.. doesn't he have a match with Lyon on Saturday? Why is he in Newcastle half the week, friends Birthday or not? ?

Will go check him out :thup:


 

 

You don’t know who he is? He was the best keeper in the world just two or three years ago. Last I heard he was having a bad season though. So not sure how I’d rate him currently.

It's happening isn't it?! 

 

Lyon have a game Saturday, a fairly meaningless one admittedly but still there must be something happening for him to be allowed away for this amount of time when he should be training.

I don't know. I suspect its something and nothing.

 

I'm 100% certain that he would join us and I'm 100% certain we can afford him but I just don't think Eddie will sign players just because they are mates with other players.

 

Maybe it will happen, but I don't think it's conclusive.

Sure we went for him before Bruno and he wasn't keen. Guess he's a bit keener now.

The last 14 years didn’t just kill my love for Newcastle, it also killed any interest I had in football. Just stopped watching games, so I’m now on catch up and trying to fathom out who the hell all these players are.

Really interested/excited to see what we do in the summer. I think we'll probably see 4-5 new faces, with 1-2 of those being of Bruno calibre and others being steady improvements.

 

I'm not convinced we'll go massive on a striker either. I could see us going for someone like Ekitike and going big on Paqueta or a right winger.

If he's going with a definite back 4 and a single striker then it's difficult to imagine Wilson being 'the one'. We could upgrade all positions tbh and it'll be a case of who's available and adding 4 quality players to the first team depending on availability and price. Having that 5 in between the back 4 and the single striker gives Howe loads of options - 2 holding and 3 supporting, 3 central and 2 very wide, another bank of 4 with a 10 etc. 

 

Just can't see Howe building it all around Wilson. He'll be first off the bench in at least 25 games imo.

Very true. I guess it depends how much they're planning on spending and how many positions they want to address. A top quality striker is going to blow a serious hole in the budget whenever they choose to bite the bullet.

I think we just go all out for Pacqueta. He’s world class and even just 1 signings improves us massively and with a good core we have right now, if we signed just him in the summer id be buzzing.

 

I'd be buzzing with his signing also.

 

But all my Summer is going to be looking at transfer gossip and news, be a bit of a damp squib if we only sign one player.

 

8 new players please barkeep! :smug:
