This window is gonna get pretty interesting if Newcastle has unlimited cash to try to escape relegation.
Not as easy as it sounds.
Neymar sounds good ...
... until he discovers jägerbombs and all those fucking slags from Geordie Shore

Which is why I wrote.. "we got ripped off"
I forecast that they will win nothing and once the regime have had enough they will sell at a loss and depart.
Surely an owner should be interested in football not publicity.
Spurs should bid for Ricardo Pepi for real. Special young talent.
Kane to Newcastle 200m - you know it makes sense.
I reckon they’ll end up buying all the unwanted at the top 6 clubs. Players like Martial, Lingard etc and hopefully a few of ours!
Winks hopefully.
Mad really isn't it?
Shows we have really poor scouting, not in base - going to cast the eye over - terms. But in physiology/background, we stank of a club that said "Wow, we've got £150M extra now due to going deep in the CL, we've got no long term data analysts for skills gaps, so let Poch use his gut".
Not blaming Poch, as the team should have been in place, to give 6 choices and RED FLAGS due to long term intense study, like "Poch are you sure about NDombele, he has multiple flags over training attitude, desire, physiology. Maybe player X.Y,Z better fits your needs of Mousa II".
Probably a side effect of crashing into the top table, without the structural growth alongside it to sustain it moving forward, suddenly players were giving us eyes we'd never been close to before and we truly ballsed it up! (Imagine if we'd got a couple of current quality Bissouma's, rather than two players for £100M odd who are not tough enough to play regular week in week out games)
I said it many times, I think we've previously and still under Paratici buy the individual rather than buy players for the purpose of maximising team potential. If we want to play a defensive midfielder go and buy a proper defensive midfielder not try and convert someone into doing the job.
Mentions that we'll be in for an attacking player in January, non-committal mention of Adama Traore, and that any Vlahovic move would be more likely in the Summer.
I'd love to see us try to get Raphina from Leeds. Watched him play the second half for Brazil last night and he was the best player on the field by some distance. Brilliant set pieces, set up a disallowed header from a deep FK and the eventual equalizer from a corner. Then made a nice run and pass to create the opportunity that resulted in Brazil winning a penalty, before teeing up Antony for their third goal. Think he's good enough to play for any team, but no doubt we'll be in for somebody much cheaper and he'll end up at a top club.
Emerson Royal came on for the last 20mins and did well, playing a really good pass for Raphina in the build to the third goal. Strong, front-foot aggressive defending from him too.
What's the rumoured change in system they mention in the tweet? If you have access to the Athletic that is.
FFP about to be made an even bigger joke.
Reader question asking about the likelihood of a 3-5-2. Answer given was just guesswork really, nothing implying he's been told a shift to three CB's is on the cards.
Cheers.
I am personally of the opinion that it is worth trying. So many of our defenders are used to the 3 at the back system already. But it may sacrifice Lucas unless we play him as a 10. And he is doing a lot of the ball carrying for us in the offensive half.
Sounded like a load of guesses to me. Will we really be in for Traore again for example? He played well when he was wanting to move to us but is now on the bench and has reverted to his level as he didn't get his move. Who's to say he wouldn't just do the same if we signed him. Weak mentality I reckon.
The only way we'll be in for Traore is if he doesn't sign a new deal.
