Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Man U

I imagine it'll be similar to the City game in defence.

No idea who will play up front.

1-0 loss unfortunately.

Going by reports from Italy it will be 10 months
Braced myself for a year. Assuming he's allowed to train at some stage during that he'll be back for early next season. Not horrendous all things considered.

Minteh is looking like fantastic business. Doing it in a decent league and getting CL experience too. Just need Kuol to start kicking on now.
3 goals and 1 assist in less than 300 minutes which is just over 3 games. All very positive so far!

At least it's in a position where we have cover. Would be more upset if it was Gordon out based on how he's started this season.
Definitely, imagine if it had been Botman!

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

Are more clubs beginning spread the cost of transfers over a couple of years / length of contract these days or has this always been the case? It seems like clubs won't have any money to spend until they sell a player for x amount and then all of a sudden it frees them up to reinvest x2-3 the amoun...

Re: Football Titbits

I think you can think that, but you don't say it out loud. The Athletic have covered it really well, and in fact Adam Crafton is probably the main reason he's gone. The Atheltic usually do a good job don’t they. Tho I did cancel my free trial when the £1 a month started getting charged <laugh> For ...

Re: Lewis Hall Deal Close?

Do hope he's as good as some of our previous dedicated Left Back signings such as Jamal Lewis, Achraf Lazaar, Danny Rose & Jesus Gamez.

Didn't realise how much we relied on Dummett until I started typing that out.

Re: Lewis Hall Deal Close?

Reece James out with another injury & Olisie rejected Chelsea and signed a new contract at Palace.

Hopefully neither of the above change the Hall deal in any way.

Re: Lewis Hall Deal Close?

Someone has to want Cucurella first. Telegraph reporting fee agreed at £28m (plus add-ons I assume) Cucurella really isn't a bad player tbf, he was just part of the Chelsea disaster. He looked very good at Brighton in a well organised and well coached team. I think Mbappe could have gone to Chelsea...

Re: Lewis Hall Deal Close?

He looked good in the game time he got last season, one of the few Chelsea players to come out of last season with some credibility. A mate of mine is a Chelsea fan and say's the feeling amongst the fanbase (almost entirely) is they want to keep Hall and get rid of Cucurella. Someone has to want Cu...

Re: Lewis Hall Deal Close?

I'm not going to pretend I've seen much of him myself other than when we played against them.

But the reaction of Chelsea fans makes me excited for this one.

Agreed, a strong yellow but a red would have been harsh considering where it was on the pitch and the covering defenders.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

I'm not sold on either Tierney or Cuccarella. Not sure who the answer is but I hoping we have a surprise and these are just the usual press smokescreen.

Re: Other Clubs Transfers/Rumours/Wishlist

Put Maguire in a low block team and he'll do just fine. Man U's high line and playing out from the back was never going to work for him.

Re: Newcastle pre-season fixtures

personally i dont think you can not start Wilson due to his link up with Barnes last match also, Longstaff is the greatest player of all time, so hes guaranteed Don't think Longstaff has played enough pre season to start.
