I don’t see the point in bringing a painfully average bottom half PL player in, especially since he’s on a decent wage and we’d have to pay a fee. We need to be clearing out the ones we have of that level not bringing more in.

I’d sell Almiron in a heartbeat, he’s so poor technically on the ball and his finishing is fucking abhorrent. He scored 9 goals up to xmas and then 2 in the 18 games after that, his poor finishing made it far harder to close out the season. He’s fine as a rotation option but he’s the main position we need to improve this summer imo, the moment teams started showing respect and sitting deeper he was completely ineffective.

The turnaround since takeover is fucking insane, as the below tweet proves

“Great to see them running around together in our kits” it’s just fucking weird man, I’ve never heard Newcastle fans talk in such an odd fucking way about kids in football tops yet the weird cunts batter us for supposedly being obsessed with wearing toon tops.

I don’t think Gallagher improves us, we could use a Phillips in the 6 with Bruno and Tonali as 8’s mind. I’d prefer we signed Thuram or even Lavia tbf, right wing is still our priority imo as you look at how many chances we create and the ball control we have in most games neither is our main problem it’s the finishing.

It’s one’s like this that make me laugh . 2 year ago we struggled and failed to get Hamza Choudry on loan and now whinging we didn’t buy Tonali and Szoboszlai, fucking hell man we have no idea if we were even actually in for Szoboszlai same as we all had no fucking clue there was any possibility of signing Tonali. We clearly need more players but I feel some of our fans haven’t grasped just how massive a signing Sandro Tonali is for us, he was an integral part of a Scudetto winning side and people complain because we aren’t signing a Hungarian they’d only started hearing about this season. FWIW I’m disappointed as I was excited at the possibilities of both Maddison and Szoboszlai playing for us, but that’s what’s fucking class about all this we’re linked to these types of players and it’s possible, I’m confident we will sign what we need.

I’m sure he doesn’t have a job, but if he does I hope he quits it when he figures out they employ people that support Newcastle. I fully support his stance tbh, that list of boycotted stores should include every major retailer and supermarket since they all have Newcastle fan customers and staff! What a fucking knacker.

Aye I don’t think Leipzig would want to sell, they’ve sold Nkuku and likely Gvardiol this window which nets them a huge sum. Think it’ll be a case of a team either paying the €70m up front in full or he stays there.

This one is a weird one as I thought Milan were at their non-EU player limit once they signed Loftus-Cheek. The Chelsea situation is weird, this all no doubt helps balance the books but their team is looking pretty weak in parts especially with Kante and Kovacic leaving CM. Hope this striker they’re signing is a flop and things go from bad to worse at that wretched fucking club.

Tbh I’ve questioned for a while if we were even interested in Maddison since CL qualification. I feel like it’s similar to the Diego Carlos transfer where he suited our profile of target in that January window but we never went back in for him that summer. I’d have liked Maddison as I rate him as a player but Szoboszlai seems to fit the profile of player we’ve been targeting closer.

There’s a ton of absolute shite spoken on talksport but this might genuinely be one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen.

They’re so weirdly obsessed with Staveley, she’s a minority owner of the club. How would any of this be embarrassing for the Saudis?

Who gives a fuck? Italian journalists are constantly banging on about this shit, I couldn’t give a fuck. He’s advancing his career tbh and if people can’t see that they don’t understand football.

Aye, think I read somewhere that Howe sees him as very versatile so once he’s up to speed he will cover a lot of positions.

Tonali would be brilliant for us, a strong runner in midfield who will match our intensity but also has quality on the ball.

I said similar about the Chronicle but it seems to apply to most the NE coverage, they seem to focus on being negative about every fucking story and link. If we’d listened to them we’d never have Botman, Isak, etc and we’d have sold Bruno. It’s a story about a player who currently has no bids submitted for him, unless Scott Wilson is somehow getting the information from Maddison’s agent, or Maddison himself it’s nonsense, and I’ve no idea why either of them would want the press knowing where he was leaning anyway.

Aye, totally agree it’s no good for us. Sad reality is they have goals, and plans other than just NUFC. Shame it helps Chelsea but I have faith that Boehly and his crew of jokers will fuck it up anyway.

It’s not really how that headline tries to make it sound tbh. It’s a private equity firm that manages a bunch of assets for the PiF, they’ll also manage a lot on behalf of others, and the PiF will have a load of assets managed by other PE firms. They want to grow the Saudi league, Chelsea have a lot of big names they want rid of, and they clearly have worked with Clearlake and Boehly outside of those player deals so they see an opportunity that benefits both. The way some of the media is trying to make out that the PiF have some big investment in Chelsea, and are helping them get around FFP is a bit absurd iyam. Not that I expect any better from the media lot these days mind.

The Chronicle should be ashamed of themselves posting absolute click bait shite like this, rather than trying to enjoy the good times with the fans they seem to be focusing heavily on negative articles. Bunch of second rate pricks.
