What about Roel Fox?

Loan move to Wearside?

I think you’ll find all of the historic ceremonial county of Durham is under mackem ownership

Both were Newcastle fans (as a boy)

Before Bruce did his best to ruin Almiron, I seem to remember him having some good games in an advanced central role

If he does score 20 goals they can name a burger after him 👍🏻

He’s decent crack like, I agree. Not listened to that though tbf

3 career goals in senior football. Sounds nailed on he’ll bag 20 in less than half a season. Just needs a 😎

That podcast John Gibson did a while back with Tim Vickery and Dotun Adebayo was good. Where he was talking about the Fairs Cup run etc. But Gibson’s name-dropping was off the scale. He was mates with everybody in the 60s. Not just those from Newcastle but even if they’d just visited Newcastle

Actually felt a bit for Jeff Brown on it last night. Stood outside SJP, smiling through gritted teeth with his eyes telling the real story

That’s in Mecca isn’t it? Particularly tasteful given it’s right next to the most sacred site in Islam

It’s fucking mental on there like. There’s a thread praising the owners and ‘the process’. So have they got a billionaire owner or not? Rhetorical question, obviously. They’ve got no fit CF and are worse off than before the window

Mag behaviour that. Let’s make it 25,001

Annoying as Ashley sold it out of pure spite imo

I’d prefer something not made out of Meccano

Aye but the council doesn’t own the land and the planning permission still stands. He probably wants the same as us but he’s relatively powerless even if the club have made it clear they’d like to purchase the land

It’s a perfectly good reason for refusing public funding. There may or may not be more than meets the eye to it. Hopefully the former

Sportswashed 👆

Yeah, employing them as a double 6. With a flake and monkey’s blood

Just joking, but aye something along those lines. I actually think it’ll be the same shape as usual though. Willock Longstaff and Joelinton in midfield with one of Isak, Gordon or ASM on the left. Although I’d expect Isak to drop into positions inside and behind Wilson more if he started there

I was thinking more of a 4-2-1-2-1

I like winning

Could you play Isak as a 10 to make up for the loss of Bruno’s creativity? With Joelinton and Longstaff playing as two more holding type players to make up for that? Just slightly tweaking the tried and tested formula. It would need a grafter in both the wide roles though

One player being injured shouldn’t have too much impact on a side capable of finishing half way up the division above

I’ve said this before but you can’t belittle the huge achievement of winning EFL Trophy. Just a few years back a tie between Boro and Burton drew in a crowd of 202 people and Carlisle have won it twice.
