Guessing all the rejected bid and step-back chat yesterday is out of respect of Hughes/Edwards' relationship with Howe, so that they seem less desperate in their search for a replacement.

That (probable) chancer daveockop reckons Isak puts in an official transfer request if nothing shifts soon

So basically a transfer request and refusal to return means it happens?

James Milner is changing from #6 for Brighton to #20 in tribute to Diego apparently

Simao was the one where it was all done and he was on the plane right? I think teixiera turned us down for s***loads of money in China

We say £120m, they say £110m and then they can say they pushed us hard to £130m

Noticed Kostas features prominently in the kit promos, with no sign of Robbo. Or Dom with his devilishly handsome good looks

Ha not that I want/think it would happen. It does seem a bit bizarre that we might miss out on our top target cos we signed theirs. Surely they'll get their act together at some point as we all know they love a number #9 up there™

Ironically it wouldn't be the worst shout for us to loan them Ekitike for the season to help him acclimatize to the league. And really help them out by selling them Darwin too

On Watkins, I read something earlier saying he was Amorim's pick for the mancs but their head of scouting wants Sesko. It said Villa had been adamant Watkins wasn't getting sold anywhere, so they went all in for Sesko. Newcastle are really running out of viable replacements at the minute. They genuinely could do a lot worse than Darwin, though the optics of selling is their best player and taking someone we clearly don't want would be pretty bad

What happens when you mocker a reverse mocker?

5 year deal when he'll be hitting nearly 34. Can see why we wouldn't be keen on those terms, let alone the £

Think they're signing some young left back from Bayern and Moyes has said they need another 6 players in

I mean it's probably not really news but it can't be a bad thing:

So from now until forever, any season we don't win either is a failure that probably requires repercussions?

Such an odd way to announce it. That owner is something and it ain't good

Yeah, that Adam Clery guy they does the YouTube analysis saying how good everyone is was talking about how Wirtz is likely to occupy a sort of LW/Attacking midfielder hybrid. Which would see Robbo/Kerkez providing the actual width and a shift to more central through balls etc, rather than a winger taking on fullbacks

So what we're saying is that Nunez could actually turn out to be the hero in this?

FSG OUT Mingebags!

No Ekitike either. Get rid. And as for that sick note Isak

Man United fans willing their interest in Isak into existence as they're getting loan offers for Emi Martinez rejected

So €80mm then please

So us or Saudi?

Saw a clip the club put out of Ekitike meeting all the players and Slot jokes about having a Frenchmen that'll score goals as a dig at Konate before Gakpo says "so you're happy about having another Frenchman?!" to Ibou. Hardly seems like the chat with someone on the way out.

It's surely not happening but seeing reports of Isak wanting £300k a week to stay at Newcastle reeks of them saying they did all they could.
