Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist

If Wilson goes in summer then Fofana on loan at Burnley from Chelsea could be a decent option (open goal miss aside yesterday..!). 4 goals and 1 assist in 8 games for an awful Burnley side. Only 21 too, probably won’t get much of a look in at Chelsea next season. This. Good shout. My other options ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea

Olise would be class, but there will definitely be massive competition for him if he was available. Neto's injury issues this season might (understandably) put a lot of people off. I think the unfortunate way to look at Miggy is that he'd fit in at Everton under Dyche..hard working, always gives 10...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea

I've always liked Murphy, but other than his goal last night I thought that his final ball / crossing was poor. Would happily keep him in the squad though, but sign a new starting right winger (sell Miggy, working hard isn't enough if you rarely ever score or assist from that position). This. I fee...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea

This Season is over to me ( aside from the cup ) It's all about ensuring we can get a fit & better quality squad ready on the pitch for next season. If we can get everyone fit, have Tonali back , keep Joe-L & Bruno , continue to bring good young'uns thru...... and (.crucially) uprate 2 or 3 of our ...

Another goal from Minteh at the weekend, makes it 7 goals and 2 assists in the league this season from 19 matches (also got a CL goal).
I'll give him a chance and let him compete for a spot. Keep Murphy and sell Miggy.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Chelsea

What would people's starting line-up be? I'll go..

Dubra
Tino Schar Botman Burn
Miley Bruno Willock
Murphy Isak Gordon

I can see Chelsea edging it if I'm honest.. tight game but 2-1 with Sterling & Palmer scoring for them. Isak for us. <urgh>

Re: Weekend football - 2/4 March 2024

Also, Leif Davis looks quality at left back. 14 assists last season in league one and similar already this season. Yeah at 24 still got his peak years ahead of him and he's from Newcastle, local lad n' all could be our next Dan Burn different playing style of course. Was at Wallsend Boys Club when ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blackburn Rovers

Very loose tonight, thankfully they are not the greatest of finishers or we’d be losing this. Yet again we are screaming needy for a cdmf. Making crazy ambitious passes. Someone needs to be in there helping Bruno. This is painful. This. We look so bad at times.. caught in possession, numerous mispl...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners

Yeah, I think with Pope + Karius we're fine (regardless of if Dubravka stays or not). Agree that new LB and new CB are needed, I'd still get a specialist DM in though. RW definitely needed, and striker too. Yeah fair point. Instead of getting a Ritchie replacement just have Big Joe or Willock playi...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Blackburn Rovers

We need to go for it. Howe best put out the strongest possible team. Rather go through to the Quarters than win against Wolves (yes I know league's important but who dont love a cup run?) but this is a must win as it gives us something to play for this season. We anit getting top 4 and I'm not too b...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners

Yankuba Minteh got another 2 goals tonight, good chance he will be part of the squad next season to bolster that RW This. Wouldn't be against selling BOTH Murphy and Miggy if it means we can get one quality winger(Neto, etc) and possibly have Minteh as a understudy while on the left we got Gordon a...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners

Yeah onto the next one. Even at 2-0 felt like game over. Shows there's levels to being a title contender / CL regular (Pool, City, Arsenal) and then there's CL hopefuls (Villa, Spurs, Man United, us). We're nowhere near title contenders or CL regulars. We need to maintain a consistent level of getti...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners

We have been on relegation form for months , it's been coming. Hopefully questions start actually being asked now rather than excuses being made for the absolute s**** we are seeing every week. This is complete hyperbole though, we've been 6th-10th since September. It's not good enough, but it's mi...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Gunners

This is seriously scary We look absolutely terrifyingly weak Nothing in midfield whatsoever This. So lightweight without Big Joe. Like teams have freedom in the middle to steam roll us and cut us apart. This slow and aging back four needs protection.. we need a peak Tiote or Kante type DM to hover ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries

The problem with the Burn selection is he's the only LB option that allows us to play Trippier in a more advanced role. In possession we set up with 3 players back, Schar, Botman and Burn playing as a back 3 with Trippier essentially a winger. Livramento isn't disciplined enough to play the Burn ro...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cherries

It's like Dan's been told to close nobody down because he'll otherwise get beat for pace, thereby giving up shots and passes. If you have to sub a defender this many weeks in a row, maybe change the starting XI. It’s absolutely laughable. I like Howe, but he has f***ed up big time in the last 4-5 g...

Re: Football Titbits

This. He has 1 year left.. even if we end up getting 5-12 mil for him I'll take that. Past his best, too injury prone and unreliable. His goals to games ratio and when he's fit he is a quality striker (1 in 2) but just not worth it unless we just decide to have him as a 3rd choice striker (Europe/C...

Re: Football Titbits

Wilson … 12 weeks out Ffs some sick note This has to be the end if true Ffs. Yeah he has to move on in summer - far too unreliable and seemingly even more so now he’s into his 30s. He’s been priceless to us when fit, but missing far too often. This. He has 1 year left.. even if we end up getting 5-...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Hatters

Not going to lie about it; gutted to drop the points Vs Luton at home and truly expected the 3 points as retribution for the away game before Xmas. Howe needs to drop Burn to the bench as he's the weakest link in the defence and is always targeted. If Burn was scoring from set pieces then his inclu...
