  1. I hope I can watch it from Amazon Prime in Spain.
  2. Anyway, I don't think much of Ben Jacobs because I remember him being the journalist who said that Newcastle had signed Trippier for a fixed 12M, and another 12M if Newcastle managed to stay. Many Spanish media copied that information. A few days later, Jacobs posted on his Twitter that he had no idea, that he had just posted something that made sense to him and that it was his thought and not information. I don't know how you will believe it over there, but in Spain there are still many people who believe that Newcastle paid Atleti almost €30M in total for Trippier.
  3. I like Kilman, but he doesn't fit me in the team because he's a left-footed center back who handles his left foot. We already have Botman as the starter and Burn as the substitute (and Dummett as the substitute's substitute). And Lascelles plays there even though he is right-handed. If we're looking for a replacement for Schar, it's not Kilman (unless we want to play Lascelles instead of Schar and Kilman is the replacement for Botman, which seems even worse to me). And it is very difficult to play football with two left-handed central defenders. It's like playing with two Mike Williamsons.
  4. Their defensive line is no better than Gateshead's.
  5. And that West Ham won't be interested in Manquillo, Krafth, Hendrick or Hayden? Look, we leave you the complete pack for 20 million and we give you Ryan Fraser.
  6. There is nothing good in Sunderland.
  7. Personally, I quite like Andersen. He would see his signing well. He doesn't seem like a very different footballer to Schar to me and I think that what these graphs basically tell us is that Schar is better in the opposite area because we have scored more goals in his corner shots. The other details are a little lower than those of Schar, but that can also be understood because it is not the same to play in a Newcastle that has been 4th than in a Crystal Palace, due to style of play. I think he could be an interesting signing to be the third centre-back and to play now that Schar is not here. Another option would be to spend a lot of money on a top center back and already trust him as part of the future with Botman and leave Schar in a secondary position. (Everything will depend on the severity of his injury).
  8. It's not official yet, but I've been told that Atletico Madrid is very close to announcing Riyadh Air as a new sponsor for the club's jerseys. Riyadh Air is a new airline created this year by Mohammed Bin Salman (our owner through PIF). So it would not be unreasonable for him to become one of our sponsors in the future (I understand that it is difficult because they could allege conflict of interest and illegal injection into the club, but officially we are owned by PIF and not by Bin Salman). I don't know how much Atlético will receive, but its last sponsor gave about 40M pounds a year to wear it on the chest.
  9. @LongTimeAdmirer We will get some ASM replica shirt from DhGate to his new team in SA. You can be sure.
  10. A player with outstanding qualities. He was too good for us on our worst days, but maybe he was missing something to fit in now that we have better days. Damn injuries didn't help him adapt too much in this year and a half. Anyway, all this doesn't matter to me. A special boy is leaving. And I'm not going to talk about football now. Maybe I do it because I'm a tribune/popular with the fans, but I insist, I don't care. From the first day he seemed in love with the city, with the community, with the club. He seemed involved with growing this team that was dead under Ashley's clutches. He never had a bad gesture, he always seemed kind to the fans, affectionate and careful with all the details of the club. A boy who seemed nice and was key to the good group in the squad. And his farewell message couldn't be better. At least I'm going to miss him a lot.
  11. All geordie socks in the same link. And I guess you can buy 3 pairs in a pack https://gambea.com/calcetines/geordies/
  12. A friend just gave me these socks. It's from a Spanish company that makes tribute socks and these specifically are from Alan Shearer. Since they don't have licenses, they can't put their name on them, or make them even more faithful or similar, and only 8Bits make them. At the moment almost all of them are characters from the Spanish League, but now there are also some from England and we have Alan Pardew, Jonás an Tioté as well. https://gambea.com/calcetines/
  13. Totally agree. He has been at a very high level in the Spanish League for about three years. Being very important in teams at the bottom of the table and scoring important goals. To make a parallel, in recent years it has been like when we had Rondón under Rafa's command, he alone generated all the danger above. And that has earned him to go with the Spanish team, where he seems to be in a magical and fortunate moment. If he hadn't signed for Real Madrid, he would surely have ended up as the starting forward for a team like Sevilla, Real Sociedad, Villarreal or Valencia, all of them with aspirations to finish in the top 5-6 in Spanish football. . But if you told me 4 years ago that he is going to hit this year in his career, I would have called you crazy.
  14. I refuse to think that this is the same Joselu who played with us.
  15. I don't really know if he's working with the club. Officially, I think nothing has been announced. A few days ago, it was announced that she would do a kind of meeting-clinic in the US, so maybe that's why she was with the guys on tour. Perhaps we will find an official announcement around the corner, if they decide to give him a position. Or maybe they're just doing this to bring everything to do with the club to that sense of belonging that we didn't have with Ashley (like they've done with Shola). https://experience.jugo.io/newcastle-event-meet-shay-given
  16. Because for them, buying for 150 or 300M is like one day I am deciding between buying a loaf of bread or two. And the best part is that according some media, Al Hilal let him go free to Real Madrid in 2024.
  17. If he doesn't go out on loan and stays with the team, I think we can be very surprised at what Anderson can bring to the table.
