David Kelly 1456 Posted Tuesday at 09:44 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:44 Wonder if that was Mitchel led (of course we'll never know). The other thing is that if he's looking to get close to £200k a week, then it's an absolute non starter. We'd immediately have several other players we'd have to increase their wage to keep them happy. I don't see us going to that level for anyone but Isak at the moment. Regardless of us being in a better PSR position now, we could easy fuck it up again if we start spunking that sort of money out on every new player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 15380 Posted Tuesday at 10:37 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:37 The more I think about the RW, if McAtee is available from Man City, I could see us going for him. Can play RW but could also sit in the midfield three and thread some passes about in a way that others can’t 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbueno feels like more of a Howe signing than a Mitchell signing to me. Wasn’t lardass’s main shtick supposed to be unearthing rare gems from abroad?

Could well have seen Mbuemo as the same. I'm not sure he fits Howe's profile in a number of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 20063 Posted Tuesday at 11:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:31 Sounds like Umbongo's agent is hawking the twat around for £150-£200k a week... no one at Newcastle can get that until Isak does 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 15380 Posted Tuesday at 13:17 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:17 Mind, starting the transfer window early can’t be good for some people’s health 3 days in and some people I’m seeing seem to think it’s ending tonight. And if people are going to read every link that Chelsea have, it’ll be a long summer. They want to sign fucking everyone, man. They’re just a player churn factory 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 5089 Posted Tuesday at 16:48 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:48 Might want to pass on a player that even CHELSEA think is overpaid and shite The reaction to Mboonio news is way over the top, but then thats just social media for you. We may have been interested in him but it's not like he was the only target for the summer ffs. A massive part of what Howe does is have players that believe in this team and where he's taking them. We'll be fine as long as we add 3-4 quality players and some depth to the squad. And that's obviously not going to be straightforward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 24158 Posted Tuesday at 18:48 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:48 Whenever we have signed the likes of Tonali, Bruno etc, they have come out of nowhere. I am totally chill (for once) on this. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago they said he does want to play for Espanyol‘s local rival. Shows how much you can trust the myriad of daily misinformed. I don’t care about all those rumours anymore tbh. The last couple of the seasons have shown how difficult it is to be successful in the transfer market. Fair play if we manage to make some extraordinary signings otherwise it will be down to Howe making the best out of whatever is to his disposal. It’s far more important to have a great manager than relying on expensive mercenaries. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
