    Got to feel for Wilson, he's potentially joining us knowing he wasn't our first pick, the move only came about as Messi and Mbappe aren't leaving their clubs. Then he's got to follow in the footsteps of Big Joe, whilst he's still at the club too. It's a tough move!

    Plus he still reminds me of Leon Best, for some reason.

    Probably knows when Mbappe comes next summer he'll only be backup too

    He’s much better looking than Leon best!

    As limited as he is he must be a good leader. We seemed to lack leaders the season we went down. So based on that and the fact he's the skipper i think he will play when fit.

    We haven't had a top skipper since we sold Nolan.

    He was the commander of that dressing room, a distinctly average squad but a ferocious team spirit. Captained every club he was at.

    I think Jamaal is passionate, but as a defender he's just not a premier league player.

    Is he even a good leader? I know he claps and shouts but he got sent off in a friendly last week, wasn't he fighting in training with someone, Atsu or Diame maybe? I just can't imagine him being that good a leader

    He’s championship at best. Fernandes is our best Cb. I honestly think Dummett and Clark are close 2nd. Lejeune I like but he’s not ever match fit and as a result he looks dreadful. Holding might fix a big problem.

    I don't like Bruce's choice of cbs.. I think its going to leak goals. If you're going to drop schar and Lejeune then you need to be looking at better than lacelles and feddy.. I love feddy but it's those 2 together doesn't full me with confidence

    away at Rotherham or Wednesday a few seasons ago the lads pointed out ‘Haidara’ coming out of the bogs and working his way up to a seat in the away end. I went up and said well done fella it’s great how you are jumping in with the fans on away days when not playing. The bloke grinned from ear to ear and said in a broad Geordie accent.. ‘hew mate I think someone is pulling your pisser’.. I was hammered (20 canner) so it took a while for the penny to drop that haidara hasn’t developed a Geordie accent overnight. The fella laughed and said ‘we don’t all look the same mate’...

    For balance, after 10 cans white folks look the same to me if I don’t have my lenses in.

    He had a fight with Diame in training when Diame was being lazy and useless. What followed was then the longest purple patch of Diames' playing time with us. I'd say it was good leadership which did that.

    He's a very limited player but that has been exposed mostly by the fact we've got in some of the better defenders in the past 10-15 years. He's lower end of the Premiership standard whilst others we have are potentially mid-table.

    Are any of them actually PL standard, whatever that is.
    Obviously they aren't solely responsible, but, Fernandez, Clark, Schar, Dummett, Lascelles have been relegated in recent years. Lejeune is the exception and he only had a single season in top flight football.

    Coincidence perhaps.

    3 of Norwich's back 4 who went down will go for £13.5m+

    I think they're all great in a 5 bar feddy and who can actually play a bit... Sadly I think lejeuenes finished.. So sorry for him 2 horrific injuries.. Newcastle need a good cb thats can play out from the back imo.. Lascelles certainly can't.. Feddy tries to
