Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
One thing I find frustrating with us in the last few windows other than the lack of signings is that the club came out and made a big deal about us signing the stars before they are stars, we were going to be sensible, yet now we go after Guehi after he has a top season in the PL, went for Mbuemo w...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
I'd also add, people are are short-sighted in how they're treating players' approach to joining Man U. Despite lousy performance this past year and the years previous, everyone of this generation will have spent their entire life seeing Man U succeed, with them still remaining one of the biggest fo...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Absolutely agree that we shouldn't be paying that much, and further highlights why I don't want us to keep paying the Premier League premium for players, as if we haven't already got multiple examples of players in our team who show you can take off without PL experience. I'd also add, people are ar...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
It'd be interesting to see if they rate Gordon high enough to pay what we'd ask anyway. They didn't push the boat out last summer - and he followed that up with a disappointing season. More than us, they've demonstrated a willingness to look to the continent for their big signings, and would be surp...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
David close to agreeing terms with Napoli... that's another one gone. I do wonder if their manager uncertainty could cast some doubt on whether he wants to commit to them. But I don't disagree, especially with my Canada hat on, I do think it's a great fit, with a clear need for a star striker, comi...

Re: Newcastle United appoint Paul Mitchell as sporting director
I don't think Mitchell and howe ever really hit it off, no ones fault just a clash of personalities which happen in all walks of life, like keegan and the bong eyed cockney gobsh*te Now having had a few front office folks come and go with allegedly poor relationships formed with Howe and/or his tea...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
I'd just say that people seem to overestimate the ease of completing player swap deals. Not only do you need both clubs to find alignment on transfer value, but then you need both players to agree to the club destination and personal terms. Maybe Pope would be happy to go back to Burnley, or maybe h...

Re: Football Titbits
Be interesting to see if any of them can - what is it... 2 seasons in a row now, all the newly promoted teams have gone straight back down? I think Leeds might this time as they've got plenty of money to spend with the new takeover. I'll think they'll have to do a Forest though and breach FFP in or...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
God I hope this is a joke <erk> Think it's clear the power struggle between Howe and Mitchell has been won by Howe. Not necessarily a bad thing, he's just got us champions league and a cup. He deserves the chance to call some shots imo. I think there's enough evidence he's called plenty of shots ov...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Hearing of a potential first out with Palace and Fulham in talks over a move for Willock fee in region of 25-30m He's exactly the type of player we need to be selling. Can be used by us for depth, but worth enough domestically to balance the books and free up revenue to apply to actual upgrades to ...

Re: NUFC Kits Thread
Looks much better when worn, I think my main issue is the blue highlights, this is probably because eit reminds me of all the s*** when we had blue accented wonga home kits. I wonder if you're a bit younger than me, because we'd had plenty of blue accented home kits before the Ashley years and many...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
To be honest when I've seen us set up with the back 3 in a few recent games it's made me think that it's something we might see often next year. A Schlotterbeck Botman Thiaw back three with Tino and Hall as wingbacks would make a lot of sense. Main problem though is we would only accommodate 2 in C...

WTF lol. I mean 'the season' means 2 games, so sounds a lot worse than it might be. Yeah dramatic headline 😁 Issues with his knee again so a worry.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Delap is apparently twerking for Man Utd. Still think David is doable though as he can be a little bit more flexible on the pitch and get minutes alongside Isak. Vlahovic is seemingly a more traditional out and out striker from what I've seen. Seconded. David is a very versatile forward - having sh...

Re: New stadium + Club Improvements
I didn't see the original leak of that design at the time, and I've no idea who the tweeter is, but they seem to be very defensive about those tweets and aren't presenting it in the light that others from the event reported it being shown - one of many very early sketches from the internal team try...

Re: Run In
Yeah I guess it depends on which side of the coin you look at. No doubt that teams that you'd expect to be in the mix at the top have struggled this season (Man City, Arsenal (tho they're nowhere near City/Liverpool levels)) and that has helped to mix things up a bit, combined with Man U and Spurs ...

Re: Run In
Complete opposite to last weekend with nearly all the results going for us. Glad we could take advantage. Feels like one foot in the Champions League now. Hopefully the players have their eyes on 2nd and take the game to Arsenal. Could make it four wins from four against Arteta this season. If that...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea
Agree with the above. Although the international feed commentary unanimously agreed with the red card, if anything I think McCoist's opinion reflects his bias towards physical striker play than it does anything to do with Newcastle.

These were his words afterwards, feels like both these and the celebration are pretty respectful of us.
