Re: Summer Transfer Rumours/Wishlist 22/23

DCL allegedly prefers joining Arsenal than Newcastle. Thank gawd for the shopping in London. We’ve dodge a fairly fashionable bullet there then ! I may be old school but this player is indicative of the last type that we should be looking at It’s playing football first and foremost with ambition in...

Re: January Transfer Rumours/Wishlist 21/22

People mocking the price tag but does it really matter when we're the richest football club in the world? This is the big thing for me, it's not like the dark days of the Ashley era where spending this money now meant the summer would be spent haggling over one loan fee. If Wood contributes to us s...

Re: January Transfer Rumours/Wishlist 21/22

Cantwell is the kind of player I'd have been happy to go for before the window in that he's young and already has Championship experience.

Seeing Trippier come through the door and hearing some of the other rumours however, I'd far rather take a punt on Ramsey on loan to see if he can stay fit.

Re: January Transfer Rumours/Wishlist 21/22

I did read that Chelsea (and napoli) were only interested in a loan for Digne, which could put us in pole position should we want him. Chelsea due to the fact he'd be an expensive backup as said, and Napoli I imagine for more financial reasons. Everton supposedly want shot on a perm. Have him in a ...

Re: January Transfer Rumours/Wishlist 21/22

Trippier and Digne would be amazing but I think the latter will end up at Chelsea.

Must be nice to spend £30m on LB cover for your £40m starter

Re: Toon Takeover Thread

I don’t know how Sky can report something like this? I remember when they used to be a credible news outlet. Staveley has played it public ever since 2017 but stuff like this (if true) is too public for me. It’s exciting but we still have a manager and leaks like this make me wonder how much is blu...

Re: Toon Takeover Thread

I'd imagine there will be a big legal dispute if the PL say no to this.

Hardly the ideal start of any takeover, regardless of your personal opinions on if they should be allowed ownership.

On the 'football' side of things, they are apparently likely to get Benitez in as manager. Can't wait <erm>

Re: Ashley Agrees to Sell Newcastle for £350m!

You can clearly see other brands in the skip too and if you look behind the skip inside there looks like what could be new boards standing upright.

The monochrome thing has my interest, this is just general housekeeping imo.

Re: Ashley Agrees to Sell Newcastle for £350m!

Kinda weird that the only ones handling this with a bit of professionalism is the club itself <laugh> To be honest I'm at the point where I just wish the news hadn't broke, as exciting as the first 24 hours was it's kinda getting annoying now, I just don't get why there has to be a rollercoaster ri...

This.
Nonsense. The club should make a statement once it's done.
This. The Bin Zayed company should be doing the same, it’s actually weird the daily statements and a big part of why I think this is all ****.

Re: Ashley Agrees to Sell Newcastle for £350m!

I’m still erring on the side of caution, let’s not forget he never provided proof of funds when trying to buy Liverpool last year.

Sorry to be the buzz kill here but the Amanda Staveley episode was mentally scarring for me.

Re: Ashley Agrees to Sell Newcastle for £350m!

Basically nobody has a f***ing clue. I see one tweet saying it's done, another four saying it isn't, then someone from Abu Dhabi pops up saying it's all but confirmed. If I had to take a punt, I would anticipate they've been in talks, the Sun have gotten wind of it and printed that story and exagge...

Re: Ashley Agrees to Sell Newcastle for £350m!

This mornings news was very important as to where this was going to go, it was either going to be confirmed, or where we are now (where we were with Staveley and to a lesser degree Kenyon). When we do eventually get taken over, it will be like a story out of nowhere and it’ll be done, doesn’t sound ...

Re: Game of Thrones

I definitely did not wait 8 years for that.
