Meanwhile Miggy came on over the weekend, scored a belter of a goal and set up what should have been a beauty as well.

 

And also Matt Ritchie came on - I take your point.

How rare has that been this season though? Top teams do that sort of shit regularly

They've got to have some of the commerical/sponsor situation sorted out to be planning that. Can't wait to see the back of Fun88 and Castore.

Think we are stuck with Castore for a bit longer, but 500m from Riyadh Air should sort us

I sense a massive bidding war between Saudia and Riyadh Air. I reckon £1bn would be a fair outcome.

[Kid Dynamite 3767]

Let's have them both!

There was a story (which admittedly might’ve been a load of shite) doing the rounds recently that we were in talks with adidas. It also mentioned buying Castore out of the current deal

Can't see Castore giving up unless they get a huge amount of money, given where we hope we are going.

[Kid Dynamite 3767]

That Atheltic article said we are tied into Castore on a multi year deal and the club is doing the sums as to whether it's worth paying a big sum to end the deal early and get a higher fee from Adidas, or whether it's cheaper to see the deal out

in eddie we trust etc but can't help but feel a bit "meh" about this one. we keep being linked to him though, so there could be something in it 

[wykikitoon 9330]

Aye, can't say I am overlay happy about it.  He's a little cunt.  Maybe just a squad player.  Willock has been great recently and I think Longy has too.

[ewerk 18375]

26 years old, English and plays for Man U. They'll be looking about £70m for him.

[Alex 20263]

He’s tall so there might be something in it  But as ewerk suggests they’d want a lot of money. Probably including an extra 20% just because it’s us 

[Howay 9404]

I don’t believe any transfer links from Edwards, he’s clueless. As Alex mentions it doesn’t seem like we’re on good terms with Manchester United in terms of transfers given how they messed us about with both Lingard and Henderson, I’d put this one in the highly unlikely category.

he’s not the first source to report this though.

He says it’s exclusive, are you calling Luke a liar? 
 

Even if he’s not the only one it’s a lazy link for me, he’s found himself on the fringes of the squad and he’s tall, Newcastle need a 6/8 and have bought tall players, and the media LOVES trying to help Manchester United shift their fringe players. He’s a tidy enough albeit limited player in his role and he’d cost far more than he’s worth, there’s far, far better available elsewhere and our team knows it.

[aimaad22 1161]

Aye this is a fairly annoying rumor. It would be a completely uninspiring move. The fact its from Edwards gives you optimism there's not much in it but the link does keep popping up every few weeks. We've already got someone who'll work his socks off without much quality in attack, need to add the quality part now not cover for Longstaff. 

[Polarboy 1227]

A better rumour, although probably with even less substance, is Diogo Jota. Jacque Talbot has talked about what is supposedly our transfer list for the summer and Jota is on it. He does add that we're likely to be priced out of it given Liverpool will likely want 70m+ for him. You could see Jota leaving along with Firmino, who I think is confirmed to be leaving, given the options that they have i.e. Gakpo, Diaz, and even Darwin in that wide left position, added to the fact that Jota would raise a fair amount of funds to reinvest in their midfield. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 9662]

I think McTominay’s STATS are in a high percentile so I could see Howe being interested in that but he doesn’t really address any real area of concern. We could almost certainly attract better than him from elsewhere. Even if he just acted as a dependable squad member with European experience, he’d be massively overpriced 

[Kid Dynamite 3767]

If you believe the article it insinuates that Maddison may be looking elsewhere, so we plan on playing Bruno further forward and using McTominay in front of the back 4. 
 

Underwhelming if true. We are crying out for someone new to bring creativity in midfield 

[sammynb 1473]

Edwards has proven time and time again he doesn't know shite.

Philip Billing would be a better shout than McTominay if we are looking at squad players. Forgetting cost, etc, if Man U want sell to us, it's only because they think he's not good enough and if he's not good enough for those cunts, he certainly isn't good enough for NUFC.

Yes, the days of taking an over priced Man Utd cast off should be gone.  This belongs to the Brucey era which Edwards is still stuck in
