SteV Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 13 minutes ago, Sibierski said: 23rd December is their first game. Usually players have to be there I believe a week before first game unless giving special dispensation. So Fulham on 17th December would likely be his Final Cut off appearance before going (if he was called up and if he went). If he made it back to feature off the bench for 15 mins against Sunderland, then followed it up with a start for 60 against Fulham, he would need to score in both to soften anything for me (with wins in both too). Fulham have got three Nigerian players, so I wouldn’t mind if all the AFCON teams decided they wanted their players before the 17th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted November 29, 2025 Share Posted November 29, 2025 To start on Tuesday? Woltemade played a lot of football this week. Howe could have brought him off after 65... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted November 30, 2025 Share Posted November 30, 2025 (edited) Got a feeling he’s on the bench for Burnley. Edited November 30, 2025 by Fenham Mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 There's no way they just start him without minutes. A few appearances off the bench first. Hopefully Burnley but I think after that. Happy to delay it slightly so long as he doesn't go to AFCON Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 I wonder if Eddie might give him a late cameo debut before the derby to get it out of the way. He's done that a few times although usually with players from abroad - Bruno and Botman spring to mind - where their first appearance was 90+2 at SJP.

stozo Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 My prediction: he plays 30 mins tomorrow night. In Scunthorpe with the U21s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 There's probably some cunning work-around where we can justifiably ease him in gradually building up minutes whilst claiming he isn't fit for International duty. The bar stewards broke our new toy last time so surely they can't complain too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 (edited) Without even having seen him in a Newcastle shirt you just know that, with him being the type of player he is, we would have extra points on the board had he played. The absence of an out and out central striker definitely cost us in games like Villa, Leeds and Liverpool for example. Looking forward to seeing him, we continue to be a dream set up for an out and out striker. Edited December 1, 2025 by Benwell Lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too, comes through the game in the week we’ll see him on the bench, may even get a 5-10 min cameo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, 15-20 mins v Burnley. His pace when off the bench for a bit will give the attack and team a tactical boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 Considering Howe's use of language, wouldn't be surprised if the 11v11 game he'll be trying him out in is actually vs. Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 1, 2025 Share Posted December 1, 2025 Must be incredibly frustrating for Wissa to be made to wait even though he is in full training, must be champing at the bit. Got a feeling he will be on 4-5 goals by end of December. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
