Great move for everyone apart from Celtic .

 

I don't know, like. Their fans thought Joe Hart was a god. Imagine Dubravka will blow their minds. Such an odd league. Genuinely historical big sides in Celtic, Rangers, even the likes of Aberdeen, but quality wise it's truly Championship level.

From Scott Wilson;

 

Newcastle are also hoping to reach an agreement with Isaac Hayden that will effectively see them pay up the remainder of the midfielder’s contract. Hayden, who spent the second half of last season on loan at QPR, is contracted on Tyneside until the summer of 2026.

Mike Ashley was thinking, ‘this means I won’t have to buy anyone else’.

He’s much better than Joe Hart and any other keeper in that league.
 

Only issue for Celtic is his age.

Hart was a far better goalie than Dubravka ever has been .

At both their peaks for sure. Hart hasn't really been close to the Dubravka/PL standard for years now. It's why no PL team wanted him.

I know the link is a couple of days old but Iheanacho would be a smart piece of business on a free. Hardly gets the pulse racing but is PL-proven, can play on the right and is still only 26. If Wilson goes, I'd still want us to sign another forward however, and a first team level RW regardless.

Busy getting rid of half baked players surely were not recruiting more...

28 his year but other than that totally agree 👍Even though done very little to impress in the last seven years, he certainly looked like he had everything as a young player at Man City.

The dubs hate is so weird here... We had a back line that was practically rolling the ball into our own net at times. The guy wasn't manuel neuer but he did what he could on zero notice/ramp-up after being thrust into the first team for 25 games.

 

Hope he has a nice twilight at Celtic if they end up giving us something (anything... really) for him

The Man U move left a real sour taste, however the drop off was massive this season when Pope was injured, essentially making the majority realise he’s probably past his best for us.
 

Combine the two, and sheer pandering he did when he moved to Manure to be their third choice when he was leaving due to being ousted here, leaves little sympathy for me.
 

Came in, did a job, was half decent with the side that was in front of him, however won’t be missed.

Dubravka was atrocious last season like, anything low and to his right was pretty much a guaranteed goal. You could see with the eye test how little confidence the back line had in him.

 

I don't hate the guy, he's been decent down the years, but his decline has been pretty evident.

Aye, once mistakes start costing goals, games and points on a regular basis the previous good games go out of the window. It's absolutely true that when he walked in he was really good and a genuine asset to the team and the club. Now his performances have dipped so much that he's a hinderance and a genuine weak link. Not going to say playing him cost us European football as we'll never actually know that, but he was really really poor at times and we conceded far too many with him in goal. Frustration turns to anger and anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side etc

I have to agree. Sure he's stagnated the last year or so but overall, he's been here since 2018, he's been very good. There was a time when he was one of few shining lights in the tunnel and for several years he was one of our best players.

Player of the Year according to the North East Football Writers' Association in 2018. NUFC player of the season in 2019-20.

Now he's 35 and not all keepers are at their best in their late 30's. Hope he has a good Euro tournament although I suspect Slovakia will struggle.
