Re: Yankuba Minteh
I'd like to see him have a run in the pre season, see if he can fit in to the side/tactics. Don't think he's ready just yet, even to be a squad player, but be interested to give him a chance. Would be good to see him in the bundesliga on loan, seen links there for next season. Yeah agreed.. I think...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Being linked with Chisea again. Only a year on his contract, and can play on either wing. Big concern would be that he's missed a lot of games due to injury Worth a gamble if it's 20-25 mil.. anything above that might be a bit of a stretch. Pacey, skilful and versatile. At 26 he's at a good age and...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
So in terms of other players we had scouts at both of Atalantas last few games with Ederson and Koopenmeiners being our watching brief We also had scouts in Tbilisi during playoffs with Marmadashvili thought to be high in our thoughts Diogo Costa from porto also watched. Lille keeper Chevalier also...

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
Lloyd Kelly and Tosin Adarabioyo on free transfers apparently near to done deals Very decent business wrapped up already if true. Experienced quality pros who know what this league is about and improves the depth in the squad. Heard Kelly can cover all across the back four positions so will be usef...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs
Cracking performance and even better result. Everyone was brilliant. MOTM Isak, Bruno was outstanding, Gordon n' Barnes ooze quality and the defence was a rock, Kraft did really well as a CB, Burn looks so solid there and Schar was his usual classy n' composed self. Anderson looks classy on the ball...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Spurs
There’s zero doubt that if it hadn’t been for catastrophic injuries this season we’d be 4th… This. We're playing brilliantly, Spurs don't know what hit them but there still dangerous if they score one they will have there tails up so it's important we score a third to kill there hope and spirit. I ...

Re: Joelinton set to sign new deal
Glad that this will be one more position we may not have to invest in - although I still think we need to recruit a proper CDM. I think Bruno, Big Joe and Tonali have the makings of a good midfield 3, however none of them are true defensive midfielders and I only think they could cover us with the ...

Re: Yankuba Minteh
This. Wouldn't say no to selling Miggy and/or Murphy if it means getting a quality RW and having Minteh as back-up. <scratch> I think we’ll sell Miggy if a good enough offer comes in. Hopefully get a first team quality right winger and Murphy backup. Tho Gordon showed v Fulham that he can still do ...

Re: Yankuba Minteh
Hugely impressive season…does he get a chance here next season or loaned out? What’s his actual position? If he plays off the right then there’s definitely a route into the first team for him next season. On the left no, as Gordon and Barnes will eat most of the mins. I don’t think he’s a striker. ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
3 points are 3 points but **** me that wasn't an enjoyable watch 😅 Grinding performance. But a win is a win. We improved in the second half and Barnes changed the dynamic of the game again. Awesome. We still 8th though after West Ham won but we have a game in hand on them so Europe is looking likel...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
To be honest it didn't look like much on Willock, kinda felt more like he just wanted off the pitch, he'd had a stinker. Murphy and Longstaff shocking as always, guaranteed at least one of them plays the 90 though. Getting to the point where I'm not even that pissed off at the performances because ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
Fulham attacking that left-hand side.. with Kraft being a weak link they know what's up. That's why Howe should have played Murphy at RB he can handle pacey tricky skilful players better as he matches them for pace/speed and played Barnes further forward. Looking awful right now surprised fulham hav...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
Longstaff won't lose his place this season, only way Eddie would drop him is if Tonali Bruno and Joelinton are available for selection, even then it's not a 100% guarantee. He's almost as bad as Southgate for having personal favourites. This. Burn at LB and Longstaff starting all the time. <erk> If...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers
I would have gone for Anderson over Longstaff. Started Barnes RW and Murphy over Kraft at RB as he can has the speed to bomb up n' down the right, has more pace than Kraft and can ping in a cross. But I guess Howes thinking to rotate and manage minutes for Anderson and Barnes who've come back from l...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Toffees
Yes, I think that all things considered, if we finish 8th along with 2 cups quarter finals it hasn’t been a bad season. If this team on its arse for 80% of the season with an entire first XI missing most of the time can do this, then if/when we sort the injuries next season we should comfortably be...

Re: Days lost through injury
<ok> <gent> <applause>. Dummet at LB doesn't look like a credible option now. <urgh> Who plays at LB tho if Hall is out at the weekend? Our bench v Everton <erk> Murphy at RB and Krafth at LB? Otherwise it has to be either Dummett or Ritchie (you’d think he’d go Dummett). Not sure. Murphy at RB wit...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Toffees
Yep, it has been unprecedented. Tho to play devils advocate, isn’t there an argument that we should have adapted our style of play to mitigate against more injuries given how the season has unfolded and how many we’ve had? Or do we only have one way of playing? If you continue to get injury after i...

Re: Days lost through injury
I agree with some of that, but there's no way I'm playing Krafth or Murphy at left back ahead of Burn, and certainly not Dummett or Ritchie at this stage (I'd rather have Dummett central as did against Man City earlier this season). He's had some shaky moments, but to pin everything on him in a sea...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v 'ammers
I think Trippier arrived with the squad today so can’t be far away, you’d think. That would be a relief. Hall - Burn - Schar - Trippier back line is pretty good IMO Also, I read that Lascelles' last two starts, he's gone off injured. He's out of contract in the summer and i would have argued that a...

Re: Days lost through injury
The only silver lining is that Burn now has to play at centre back where he’s more suited (and can be third choice next season when we sign a new CB) and *hopefully* Hall gets a run at LB. **** knows what’s happened to Targett. This. He made a real impact when he came on. Showed good energy, pace a...
