Right now, who would you rather play for.
Amorim at United or Howe at Newcastle?
To me there is only one correct answer, but apparently Sekso doesn't agree.
Worlds gone mad.
With moore going to rangers has he signed a new deal with us before going on loan?
It's cos players have now worked out they will have to live in Newcastle
Honestly, I don’t think we’re signing another winger or striker until we manage to sell a few, that’s just how we operate under this current leadership, and the way it’s going to be. We’re sitting on a long list of wide/forward options: Richarlison, Yang, Solomon, Gil, Tel, Kulu, Johnson, Kudos, Odobert, and of course, Son. There’s quantity, but not necessarily the right quality or balance.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we keep Richarlison for another season. And even more worryingly, I think there’s still this internal hope that Kane might come back next summer, which could be influencing our reluctance to bring in a proper forward now. That kind of thinking is wishful at best and amateurish at worst.
The MGW situation says it all. If we did bid for him, it feels like it was more opportunistic than part of any real strategy. Because if we truly had a plan, we’d be targeting someone of his profile or someone like-for-like right now — not just reacting to availability, yet no rumours of any kind.
All of this points to a bigger issue: our transfer strategy is all over the place. There’s no clear direction, just scattered moves and half-measures. If we want to genuinely compete, that has to change.

Also players wives have a long journey to London. Even driving to Manchester takes the same time as Manchester tto London. So players families feel quite isolated in the North East.
We look for "opportunities" in the market
I don't think we've ever strategically gone out into the market and deliberately targeted players that we need
It's always about the possibility of good deal
We're basically vultures
Good move for him, at least Europa League experience for him there, preferably Champions League though.
(Although, would he be able to play in the CL for Rangers with Spurs also being in it?)
Let’s sell them Richy to make them feel good
Looks like he’s filled out a bit recently.
He’s in that teen period where he could suddenly put on a spurt and we get a much stronger player returning.
Excellent. A real coup.So is this Pooleenya any good?....
We've beaten off some serious rivals to secure the loan deal from Bayern.
Danny boy da cookin', bro'
I think this is how you do it
Yeah but not against us?
Location plays a massive part. Any top player is gonna want a fuck ton more money to compensate for living / playing up there.
That's why I was surprised the Saudis got involved with them tbh.
He’d be great, and the exact sort of signing we should be making. Which is why it won’t happen.
You think he can handle the PL physicality ?
