isak isn't even our player of the season tbh. he was brilliant in phases and we would be nowhere without his goals but for consistency across the season, it's tonali or burn.

of course they had to have a man u player in there

he's been pretty hands on with transfers since joining us, by all accounts. he hasn't got much wrong so far since he's been with us

Newcastle fans waiting for new transfers, a new stadium, DoF and CEO

this all goes back to obama's nuclear deal which trump just had to abandon because he's such a fucking baby he couldn't accept that anything his predecessor did was of any merit

it completely splits the republican party down the middle - you've got the maga non interventionists saying stay out of it, and the a load of neo cons senators, such as ted cruz, calling for regime change. netanyahu has completely played trump and i think he may well get what he wants

I’ve seen people on ket look more coherent than he did on a football pitch

I mean he’ll get paid more but he’s unlikely to start as many games for them. How many players do they need?

Oh, hai Antonio

When’s the derby?

Good time to play them and about time we beat those cunts in the league

I’d rather Van Hecke than Guehi. Better on the ball and just as solid defensively. What’s Guehi better at? Pace maybe?

it's just too much football. it's the tournament no one wanted

thank you Ant! please. Quiff is gone for good. It’s safe now

chel just have to wait and sea how he develops

yeah, he’s not an out and out winger in the way Elanga is but he has played out there. Elanga can play off either flank too so both signings make sense in terms of squad depth because they’re both versatile. Tbh, neither of them would be my first choice. Semenyo has been rumoured to be up for sale for a similar price to what forest want for Elanga. I like Pedro but also can’t help but think there is better value available abroad. But if Howe wants them, fair fucks. He knows more than I do.

yeah, he makes total sense for that reason. can also play as number 10 if howe wants the option of playing 4-2-3-1. however, he is expensive and a lot of his goals have been pens but i like the idea of another brazilian in the mix

like i said what happened to the chump? did he finally tire of making himself look a monumental tit?

it's not my personal shopping list. i based it on the main players we're currently being linked with (pedro, elanga, ramsey, guehi and trafford). i have no clue if we are actually planning to add players in all of those positions, what our total budget is, how many players we will need to shift in order to finance it while staying clear of psr problems etc. it's probably unlikely that we buy specialist players in all of those positions, particularly CF. we already have isak and osula and they're typically the most expensive players on the market. that's why the pedro link makes sense to me, despite the astronomical fee mooted, as he can add depth in about four positions

yes, obviously. which is why i think we'll sign another versatile forward who can cover CF as well as a wide position, instead of a specialist CF. i don't know if that player is elanga, joao pedro or someone else we haven't been linked with yet but i suspect it'll be someone with versatility so we can let wilson go and keep osula as third choice. it would be great to get a new RW and a specialist CF to cover Isak but it blows a massive amount of the budget. i'm not sure we have the cash to get players in all the positions we have been rumoured to be upgrading (CF, RW, RCB, CM and GK) without significant outgoings.

that’s why mbueno would have been a good fit - a wide player who is comfortable covering CF so Osula could continue as third choice CF and a wild card option out wide. I agree he should stay to aid his development but we need more depth across the front line so we’re not relying on him too heavily

hello stranger

Good luck HMHM. Hope it all goes well
