Hmmm

Not doubting you… but he doesn’t sound like someone who is about to imminently leave, plus he played tonight by sounds of it?

I’ve got a hunch that Isak isn’t happy to stay at Newcastle. Nothing confirmed on that though.

CM 03/04, that was my favourite too. Tim Sparv scored an ET free kick to win the champions league for me.

At risk of being even more anal, it was at St Marys

Think we’ve had plenty (including some still here) that can’t do the basics well as a striker. Let’s hope it starts to flow for him when the first goes in.

Of course, that too. But don’t feel like we have a proper DM.

The issue with his two misses seem to be he hasn’t timed his run properly, been ahead of the ball on both occasions (plus a bit of a push). Gone too early.

Not sure we need another box to box midfielder at the moment tbh. Still think we’re missing a proper defensive midfielder.

He’s been taken out of the first team training because the expectation was the Everton deal was going to happen. As it happens, that’s not looking likely at the moment, hence why they’re talking about reintegrating. He’s been offered a very good contact. If someone doesn’t want to sign it you can’t force them to.

They have 100% offered him a new contract, months ago. He has chosen not to sign it at this point. He is expected to be back training with them after Northampton if nothing materialises, with a view to him possibly being in the squad for Ipswich. It was Still’s decision ultimately not to have him training with them before now, as 1) clearly a possible move was close and 2) he only wants people in the squad who are 100% focussed on winning games for us The club aren’t desperately wanting to sell him, but if it’s a choice between him or Fernandes leaving (for the other one to stay) then Tyler is who they’d prefer to go.

£30m lol

Sums up exactly why we want another RB

No Sesay?

You’re correct on the first one.

Ah, the football season is officially back.

.

7 (days)

The lad is an extremely talented footballer. If he has an average / poor year it’s not going to put people off, as they will see extenuating circumstances as to why he had a poor season. In fact, I’d say it would likely mean more teams are interested, as his value will have dropped significantly with his contract situation, so teams like Fulham/Palace/Brentford etc will be more likely to have a go at £15/20m as opposed to £50m

I agree, but the problem is he already looks like our best attacking midfield option (when the obvious leave).

This feels like the Lavia transfer two years ago. Liverpool started low then kept coming back in £3-5m increments and we kept rejecting them, then Chelsea seemed to come out of nowhere offering £56m and we accepted. Liverpool then tried to match but he chose Chelsea.

I don’t want Bazunu as number one next season as much as the next person, but questioning him on the goals yesterday is just utter nonsense.

Think that’s a fair list, although I would personally have a new number one GK up the list a bit. Albeit I don’t think the club will bother and think Bazunu will be number 1, which is a huge mistake.

Thanks mate - any discussion/hints on incomings at all? I presume not but asking more in hope than expectation.

Did Still say anything post match about injury updates or transfers? Couldn’t see anything (I’m not on Twitter)
