Stifler Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 To be fair, since last summer, a lot of our targets were not really covered in the press. The Isak one came out of nowhere, we were only slightly linked with him early in the summer, but that was probably more of a case of us being listed as a club who could afford him.

r0cafella Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 If budget is an issue we really should be in for Tielmans as he can rotate with Bruno as a 6, it’s mad how basically any player with a modicum of potential is 50m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Isak (who was covered as a target just no one knew we had agreed a deal) who else would you say wasn’t covered ? I think every signing we have made has pretty much been spoken about by the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what stifler means is our targets usually aren’t called by the media until closer to the deal being done. the athletic mention nothing is imminent so maybe that’s what he’s referring to.

For me it was Hel Mempstead. A 30 minute express train to London Cross the road and I'm at work.Quicler than work transport in the toon. Wasn't quicker for me, my trains home where always cancelled. I lived there for 5 years. Place just wasn't for me. Now I drive my daughter to nursery through the South downs driving past a plethora of farm land and animals. Much better for stress and mental well-being. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we have some great dudes in their spots but eventually, with the club the brass are trying to build, everyone will have a replacement. We’ll have a list double digits long for each of the 25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel Hempstead was right on the edge of farmland with lots of great country pubs. I often saw John Barnes on sunday mornings with his newspaper walking to my local, the Fishery Inn which was situated on the Grand Union canal in Hemel. Happy days.

Dr.Spaceman Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 8 hours ago, Kid Icarus said: Graeme Bailey is probably the worst of the know nowt blagging knackers imo. At least Sean Casey's mildly endearing in a Kenny Sr sort of way. Bailey's just been on Loaded Mag. Here are a few of his corkers that I can remember. If PIF want someone like Neymar they'll go for it. Immediately followed by 'that's not the type of squad Eddie Howe's looking to build' when another star player was mentioned. If Newcastle aren't top 5 at Christmas, they'll get rid of Howe. Trippier winning Newcastle player of the Season was 'spectacularly bizarre' Trippier had an awful end of the season, Martinelli apparently took him to the cleaners. To say Bruno wasn't our best player last season is mind boggling. Bruno was only below an 8/10 once this season If you took Trippier out of the team and Bruno out of the team there'd be a 30 points difference between the two teams Nick Pope and Sven Botman were also better than Trippier this season Bruno doesn't get enough credit, but he bigs him up all the time. Newcastle fans need to start realising they have a world class midfielder on their hands ASM isn't as good as Adama Traore. ASM scored less than Chris Wood (implying that's how bad he is obviously ignoring the 5 assists and him starting only 12 games) All of it said with absolute assertion to a podcast and audience of people who watch Newcastle obsessively. Going 'do you really think Trippier was better than Bruno this season? Really?' to Pete who goes to loads of matches. All while Trippier's been voted POTS by fans, is in everyone's PL Team of the season, and is in Opta's Team of the season across the top 5 leagues. Such an obnoxious, clueless toad. Bailey is a Smoggie, no doubt on the wind-up. He absolutely despises Newcastle. Seen some very suspect stuff from him on Twitter over the years for a supposed professional journalist.

SUPERTOON Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 More about Maddison https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1667084027415625728?s=20 The expectation is Newcastle will make another formal offer for James Maddison. #NUFC plan to stick to their valuation from last summer, which was around £40-45m. #LCFC want more (£50m+) and are adamant relegation won’t force them into a cut-price sale.🦊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The Athletic sharing that same stuff as Edwards.
