    No news about him yet and it would prob onky be one game to miss.

    He did well against Leeds, his physical presence up front made a difference.

    Chris Wood always outscores Dwight Gale - that's always bothered me, but since January I've learned to cope with it

    Can we still sign an "unattached" player?

    He's just one of those that's never going to work, is just going to be baffling for a few months, before he's then sold back to Burnley for about £12m, because they have to sell Weghorst after relegation.

    Honestly, I don't know why anyone's defending the transfer. It's another Nickson classic, a right royal **** up and a stupid waste of money. I only pray it doesnt cost us our place in the PL. Hopefully means the end of Nickson, though.

    What's he done - won some headers, none of which turned into attacks, and missed from 8 yards out. Oh, and was caught on his heels vs Leeds when Wilson would've had a tap in. Oh, and couldn't control a simple pass from Fraser (vs Leeds) that would have put us 2-0 up. He's been a lumbering ****ing donkey and for a club looking to play on the front foot, he's a waste of space. I'd sooner have had Carroll back for free for four months, and used the £25m to get a mobile forward with at least an ounce of potential.

    I appreciate the Andy Carroll sort of job he does. Even if he doesn't score, he brings others into play. It's a relief to be able to just play a long ball out of defence rather than having piss about with it.

    Well if she decides to offer me "front or back" she needs to bring a cushion for the drive home.

    I was foolishly going off his entire PL/Championship career to date. You're right - I'd better give him another 300 games to show what he can really do.

    Transfermarkt, in light of our £25m transfer, has him valued at £5m.

    All he has in his favour is he's not Dwight Gayle.

    Told you before, mate, I pour every ounce of whingeing bollocks into Newcastle, so the rest of my life is roses and sunshine.

    If I decrease a cost by 20% then I'd need to add 25% to get back to the original value.
