Worryingly don't see progress on a CB now that Carlos seems down the drain.

Take care Ant and thanks for all your effort over the years. Can't be easy.

Get the fook in! Hope rekindled!

And how shit we played, didn't even work the keeper against these. Unbelievable that we are still within touching distance.

Aye true that's what they think but it actually isn't. I agree they'll want to bring us to the level of Man City but whether they manage to do so remains to be seen. Nufc are just one of a number of initiatives MBS has laid out to improve their image and catch up to the likes of Dubai in tourism etc. Not all have worked so far, it's not a given even with PIF's massive resources.

Anything to get us to safety mate, as has been pointed out here the state of people like Lascelles and Longstaff is such we are in zero danger of downgrading in any way.

Some Saudi club making a loan move for Aubameyang apparently. Surely thats worth a shot too alongside Lingard.

We've seen some shitty shitty players over the last 15 years haven't we? The performances from these 3 this season are right up with the worst and that is saying something. Lascelles man. Can't believe there was a time we actually thought he could be a decent player. That moment in the 2nd half where he let in King and you saw him try to get back to bring him down, I swear you just knew he wouldn't even come close and it would be funny as shit. And he's going to keep the arm band isn't he? Embarrassing

This. Can't stand watching them any longer. The team is a fitting final tribute to Ashley's reign.

Hey at least we get back to the fun part now for a few days, till this lot get to play again.

Nobody in midfield has any ideas or anything. They're all just so useless it's not even funny.

We're goners, this lot are abysmal. Fucking Lascelles. Can't wait to see the back of him, started to proper hate him and the prick is our captain. Says everything you need to know about this team.

Wow, knew the name sounded familiar. Welcome back Nut!

So that's how Joelinton got sanctioned.

80M apparently included all wages over the term of the potential contract, plus agent fees etc. It was clickbait nonsense from the Mail, was it, that first ran it? Seemingly transfer fee now includes every single penny needed to acquire and keep a player as long as he has a contract for the club

Aye, have a feeling we might need to score at least 2.

As tempting as it is to label this a must win, even a draw keeps us in touching distance with the rest of the window to go. Win and it'll just be so massive though, reinforce the positivity from the window so far and get the whole place moving forward with belief. So yeah, as others have said just don't see that happening. Going to be a shitty, nervy 90 minutes of football.

No medicals today? FFS

You know that's actually quite possible. If not MBS then there's a Sheikh or two above Al Rumayyan who comes in weekly, for instance, to sanction transactions and sign off payments. Having worked in finance for companies owned by royals in the UAE, one of the regular headaches was to get the payments into his highness's office in time for his hourly visit every Thursday, if he managed to get off his yacht that is. I wonder how PIF are structuring NUFC related transactions now, in the early days after the takeover and the DOF thing we did suspect issues in getting things approved right? Thankfully they seem to have worked something out for now. After the Cambridge debacle Al-Rumayyan probably stationed himself on a yacht somewhere for January, making sure his highness's fingers move away from the sheesha long enough to press the approve button on his laptop.

30M bids flying in left right and centre it seems

Personal affiliations and tastes come into it dont they? Plus boosting your social media numbers by winding up a large following. Fact is football folk are rattled by the takeover, most of them want us to fail, they never thought they'd see a Newcastle United with the ambition and muscle to match the potential of the club. It's scary, its off script. Makes it all the more sweeter for us and I for one plan on enjoying every step of the ride starting by pissing off Burnley of all clubs

Yeah, its almost like he's living 10 years ago when 20M would raise a few eyebrows. Surely just on the wind up. Another one pissed off by what we are looking to become.

Good. Was just getting bored with all this Wood lark. Next please

Making himself look like a real dumbass. Modern analyst that thinks a 20M deal for a proven premier league striker off your relegation rivals is bad business.

Hopefully the first of many to the clubs in this league with all the crap they tried to pull regarding our takeover and subsequent sponsorships/transfers. We're finally coming for you you corrupt fuckers!
