Newcastle have only themselves to blame. If you know you have an unhappy player on your hands who will likely leave, then you dont d*** around by sending a lowball offer for a replacement. Especially if you know a much bigger club is lurking in the background. You would have thought they have learnt from the Ekitike situation. Clearly not. Complete dumbf***s.

Yes but he is crude.

Leipzig know how desparate Newcastle are, so they will squeeze them as much as they can.

Yes Alan, we are paying for his goal scoring foot. The rest of his body is worth another £10 million, so £130 million should do it.

He won’t be when he gets here. First thing we will do at the medical is get the d*** out of his head.

Given their sh*t conversion ratio, they should put a bid in for Nunez.

I would like us to sign Rodrygo, Isak and a CB. Can't see it happening but here is my breakdown on how we fund this: Quansah £35m funds for new CB. Diaz £70m funds Rodrygo. Elliot + Nunez fetches £100m which will fund Isak plus £20m on top. The rest of the spend looks like this: Total gross spend (Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez, Ekitike plus Isak top up) = £280m less player sales of £63 m (Kelleher, Trent, Nat Phillips, Doak and Tsimikas). This gives net spend of £217m. If we cannot afford £217m net spend in a transfer window, then questions need to be asked especially after winning the league.

Still can’t believe we pulled this off. Everyone was lining up to get him but he is here. Love it.

Yeah they should sell him to us and they can buy Nunez of us. Saves them time Italian clubs must really be in a sh*t state that they need to sell to be able to afford a £10 million (or £12 million). Unless Hughes is using his black magic to coax £25 million out of them.

I would take a look at the tall striker who plays for Juventus, Dusan or Ramos at PSG. Both are available and gettable. I am still holding out hope for Isak though.

Why not spend a bit more on Isak instead.

This is an audition for Elliott to stay. If that is him grabbing his chance, he must be using buttered gloves.

I am not saying that but Slot has to take a large portion of the blame. We have looked completely flat in midfield for the last 3 matches. Why not start Harvey or Jones in the final or at least change formation where Harvey actually plays in the front 3 or just off them.

It was a poor performance today. Disappointed that we have not really turned up in the last 3 marches. The team has been physically and mentally drained, and it’s been clear that a bit of energy completely changes our performance—just like against Southampton. Slot should have learned his lesson, but he has mismanaged the squad. It was obvious and didn’t take an expert to see. The Gakpo substitution against PSG still doesn’t make sense. How do you put an injured player on the pitch over a fresh one in such a crucial moment? It’s shocking decision-making that has cost us. At this stage of the season, managing fitness and making the right calls is everything.

If rumours are true, can’t believe we rejected a bid for him in January.

That shouldn’t be the reason we lose the league. You can point to so many other reasons: Newcastle away, Fulham at home, scum at home, owners not investing in the summer or during the winter break.

For me the points we dropped against Fulham and Utd at home are worse. Win those matches and we are 11 points clear. We have made a habit of conceding late goals when we were so good at managing games early on. i would have preferred to have been much further ahead than Arsenal. Looking at their run in vs ours, they have a much easier one and potentially all winnable games except forest. Ours is brutal: villa away, city away, Chelsea away, Fulham away, Newcastle at home, bitters again and then we play Arsenal at home.

Bournemouth 3-0 now. Look like a proper team

Was he also commando or is that going a bit too far?

Are you Richard Hughes or Edwards? There is no one out there to improve our squad

That’s another d****eadish way of saying we are not signing anyone in this summer as we never had any intention to. For the record, Salah was plan B, Mane was plan B. Look how they turned out. I hope they are scrimping and saving so they can sell and f*ck off.

Yeah exactly. Well that’s what we keep getting told “if there is someone who is better than our current squad, then we will buy them.” Clearly, there is no one out there better than Endo or any of our other midfielders.

Not really an accurate comparison. The other two have a much stronger base and squad than us. Rodri is the best holding midfielder and Rice the 2nd best. Both those teams have a deeper squad than us. We have Endo and then dicking around with Gravenberch and any other midfielder we have that doesn’t quite fit there. Only Alexis McAllister gets in the City or Arsenal midfield from our lot.

Fair enough. But I doubt he would have left 2 years before his contract was ending looking completely beaten down. These c*nts just didn’t realise how lucky they were and what they had in their hand.

I want the truth!
