Aye definitely, it doesn’t feel real yet. Right, pinch of salt time lads as I’m just passing along what I’ve heard so take it or leave it. Botman and Diego Carlos want to sign, we want both, Howe wants Botman in first. Umtiti the alternative if we can’t agree Botman fee. Digne deal is dead in the water and we’ve moved on. Unlikely to sign a LB, may rely on Lewis and Manquillo. Vlahovic…. Wants to sign for us. Like Botman he wants to get in at the ground floor of the project and fears knocking us back now would mean we wouldn’t ever come back. Club not sure about the price (55m) as still fear relegation. Other alternative here is Isak who has been looked into today. Nothing in Ramsey or Coutinho stuff. Laters,lol

Agreed! I’d love us to sign him, I thought similar with Gini but then I thought about the PSG owners. Maybe it’s not a problem and it won’t be like that? I think he’d be perfect for us as imo we really need to improve CM. Like I get the defence is poor but we can’t get any sort of handle on teams as our midfield is a fucking sieve. It’s been better since Joelintons reinvention but he can’t do this on his own for 19 games.

My only thing about this is he’s at PSG isn’t he? I’m curious how much business we will ever do with them given the relationship between the owners.

Tbf when I mentioned him a while back Diego said he was shite. Said he was basically Lascelles.

At least he’s athletic, I imagine Clark struggles to put his own socks on.

Think it lost them the game as Lukaku was an inter player.

He’s on par with that Burnsey idiot. So I would discard his stuff tbh.

He’s crossing Edwards now.

The real source these journos use. Even when he’s stood right there at the scene he’s still incorrect, it’s almost like standing outside a training ground is pretty worthless.

What a fucking throbber. It’s absolutely impossible that the sky sports lads got similar information eh.

Someone has been told off.

Aye, he fell out with Rafa over tactics and Howe has been driving this deal as he did with the Trippier one. I’m just glad we’ve thrown a bid in, especially one Everton will surely accept (covers the fee for their new left back as well as gives them a player Rafa wants), now the onus is on Chelsea and West Ham to match it if they want him - I can’t see Everton accepting a loan deal if they have this offer which will pressure Digne a little. Hopefully we can get in Botman, or I’m hearing Umtiti is climbing up our radar, as I think having names like that alongside Trippier would help to convince if we are the only option besides staying.

I’m reporting Downie, maybe Edwards was right about him.

Preparing to sell Vlahovic?

I don’t think it’ll happen but could you imagine the fucking explosion of hatred towards us on Twitter especially if he scored from a Trippier cross against Southampton.

Reading my post it sounded a bit ITK, I’m not ITK it’s all basically third hand info tbh. I just think a lot of these journalists make leaps they hope will prove in the long run, I can’t see how Romano has some inside track into what Digne is thinking.

Imagine if they meant Luuk.

I think Romano is fine, but I think in this instance he’s making a leap to look more ITK than he is. He’s saying this expecting Chelsea to sign him then will say he knew, in reality it’s ongoing - from what I know Chelsea have interest but it’s for a loan, Everton want to sell permanently, we have interest in a permanent deal but haven’t bid either yet. If Digne has decided he absolutely won’t come to Newcastle it would be news to our side from what I’ve heard. Again not saying he will come to us but think Romano is making a leap here for sure.

Also, what a fucking turnaround in the 5 or so seasons since we were in the championship and had them with their “weeyah still one place above yazzz”.

Good mirnung to you as well.

It’s Digne he’s referring to, I want a written apology off this chicken and wine shagging little bitch as I mentioned we were in for Digne on here fucking YONKS ago. He’s getting a second slap if he mentions Diego Carlos.

If Lille’s financial troubles are real I can’t see them holding out too much longer at these prices, additionally I think that just about sees off Milan’s interest.
