Gemmill 63253 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 That's top level behind the scenes work from Ross "Kofi Annan" Wilson, I assume btw. To reach this agreement with DR Congo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63253 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Was watching Shearer talk about this earlier and he was saying they would all likely be granted leave to stay for that game. I think the first game isn't til the 20th or 21st of something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 15605 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 Ah well, we'll just gave to humble their strongest team, as it should be tbh. CT drowning in piss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta hold my hands up here, I really didn't think he'd be skipping the AFCON in order to play for us. I did expect that he'd have had some minutes for us by then mind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will be a decent amount of moaning from Man United fans, as they play Bournemouth on Monday 15th. Fingers crossed the Mackem players have got their Gucci suitcases packed and are checked out for the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 6701 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 3 hours ago, NJS said: CN has posted on X that he's been left out of the DRC squad for the AFCON - not sure what his source is and if it's legit but if true we're "free" to play him when he's ready and also have him for the whole month which would be excellent.

Holden McGroin 9909 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Aye. A lot of his goals for Brentford last season were right place, right time. His movement is very good. Edited 13 hours ago by Holden McGroin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63253 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago I thought he looked class last night. Their defence never had a minute's rest. He looks a great Isak replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatty 99 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Big upgrade on what Woltemade currently offers. But he was still very isolated and not getting given the ball in dangerous areas. Don't think that's on him, think that's more an issue with how Howe sets up the midfield 3. We never get players close enough to our striker in a timely way to create space.

Dr Gloom 26363 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago i love how he seems to be absolutely buzzing to be here. the look on his face when he walks out onto the pitch as a newcastle player for the first time is priceless. loved his celebrations from the sidelines when the winner went in too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 5304 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago It might end in tears somewhere down the line but seeing someone who obviously want to play for the club so much is a huge breath of fresh air. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
