:lol: 

I also love that the signing is absolutely fucking nothing like a Graham Carr signing aside from the player coming from Ligue Un. 

 Not if you say Botman’s name in Alan Carr’s annoying voice.

Think it’s more Leeds probably not willing to sell and better players being available for the prices that would tempt them. 

 

I assumed he meant "let's do a quick swap out for a bag of sand. Miggy!"

so - who is the pick of this lot? 

 

DCL is the most proven obviously, but they all seem pretty tricky to pull off in their own ways. Everton will be looking for megabucks, Broja will also likely be overpriced, especially seeing as Chelsea are already down Lukaku, I think I'm right in saying that the owner of Sociedad has said Isak is off limits, but perhaps that's a different player I'm thinking of, and Scamacca would probably prefer to go to one of the big Italian teams as young Italians are wont to do.

Newcastle have €35m bid rejected by Porto on Monday night - Report | NUFC blog – Newcastle United blog – NUFC Fixtures, News and Forum.

 

He only has one season in Europe, so Ashworth would really be trying to steal a march on everyone else in the major leagues with this, if we really are after this kid. It seems pretty risky to spend that sort of money on someone so relatively unknown, but then again Ashworth did want to buy Nunez for 20m before he went to Benfica, so his judgement should be respected. I think it has been said before that teams rarely buy South Americans after they pass 25 because they find it too difficult to adapt to European football otherwise. This kid was right on the border, so we'll see. Obviously Porto saw something that convinced them it was risk worth taking, and he did, if somewhat modestly, reward them with 6 goals and 6 assists across all competitions last season. He did only play 28 league games though. In any case I've see a few articles about this kid recently in relation to us, so there could be some legs in it.

Surely's he's got some family or mates that should be knocking some sense into him. Though judging by today's posts they're probably looking from a distance too afraid to get close. 

 

Finally finished watching 'We are the Geordies' yesterday. Decent stuff. Incredible though that anyone from the area could have the remotest of sympathies with Ashley and his croneys considering what the club has been subject to. And freakin Rafa man, we may still have been in the gutters if not for him. Arseholes like Edwards have had the audacity to compare his record against the likes of Bruce. Absolute clown.

:lol: Also, I must’ve missed those previous sharp and witty observations.
