Day 50 of 84, in Newcastle Online’s transfer trek. We’re getting close folks, really close, I can almost taste it… (Hope it’s a magnificent Madgri and not a mirage) .

Haven’t watched this in a long time. 
 

Apparently they filmed John Mills downing a real pint for the scene and they had to do around 8 takes of it, so he was rather pissed by the end

Pretty sure Paqueta would love to come here tbh. 
 

Maddison would be a great signing, although given our system he would be on the left no? Makes me wonder if we have someone who wants ASM. 

What makes you think Paqueta would love to come here ?

Could be Maddison’s agent trying to get him a new contract at Leicester.


What, the agent has put a £40m bid in for Leicester to reject it?

I think Howe will be pretty flexible as long as he has players working hard off the ball to press the opposition. We'll have a pretty set defence, Wilson, and at least 2 hard working central midfielders but I think the other 3 can change depending on the circumstances. We've played with inverted wingers or natural wingers, 'shuttlers' or a two man pivot with a 10.

Maddison would be an absolute dream of a signing. Sub-question - do any of you think we are purposely targeting English talent over foreign imports or is it just coincidence that the lions share of the signings have all been English?

Whether we sign him or not, that sort of situation can’t not unsettle a player. One way or the other we’re potentially putting one over on Leicester who could be in for a struggle this season.

Lion’s share of the links (if genuine) haven’t been English. Doubt we’re doing a retro Yorkshire cricket thang.

I despise the little rat but I’d probably like him more if he got lots of goals and assists for newcastle. 

 

I despise him and I don't want him. If we bought him and he did well for us I'd be pleased, but I'd still despise him.

I think it’s very deliberate. Clearly backroom unity and club identity matter a great deal to Howe.

So why mention our name you absolute gob shite!

Because we've been linked to him over the last few days and he probably knows he'll be inundated with questions about us? :lol:

Anthony Quayle was base up here when he was in the intelligence in the army! He was in the same regiment as me dad!

Maddison would be fantastic but again, we’re going for a player that a club isn’t interested in selling. There’s no way we’ll bid the required 60m+ to get him, unfortunately.


I think Leicester are open to selling everyone to raise a certain amount then close shop.

He feels that sort of player where you love his shithousery if he plays for you, but is despised by everyone else. 

 

A bit like Gordon at Everton, although I think that's more to do with his face :lol:

Just looking at where he played for leicester last season

Right of 3 in a 4-2-3-1

Right forward of a 4-3-3

Centre of  3 in a 4-2-3-1

Right of a 4 in a 3-1-4-2

Right centre mid in a 4-3-3

I agree but also think (based on nothing) that Maddison would possibly force a move if he wanted it.

 

I reckon £50m and we’d get him - which would be an outstanding signing and reasonable value.

 

Would almost certainly be a statement too, walking in and taking their best player off them.
