I won't lie there's a part of me really hoping for a surprise like that, but I just don't think Newcastle are in the position for such a signing. If they sign a cb and a left back the squad really will have all the foundations to start adding such players in the coming years though.
Gabby Agbonlahor thinks we shouldn't get stung by the Livramento deal https://www.footballinsider247.com/...5Am5njyCmH5iET-x8ZOxVAOftJST5vmb_gzRXfBmNW9Nc
You do love Woody's cock don't you? Not that that's necessarily a bad thing cos I just watched the last Venom film and he just about rescues it.
It's not even a debate, he was a major part of our transformation and I honestly think we'd have gone down without him (basically we'd have been playing Dwight Gayle up front instead or Joelinton up front and Henrick alongside Shelvey in the middle). For £5-10m to stay up is just a total no brainer, not sure what it says about some of our fans that they question it still.
The guy is human at the end of the day, although he has become a major whinger in recent years he still overall comes across as a decent enough person and I like him. I'm assuming the fans were adults.
Andersen is a name that keeps coming up. He's not particularly pacey though... Looking at the money we are willing to spend on promising English players - Gordon, Barnes, Livramento, wishful thinking that we might push the boat out for Guehi instead...
I had forgotten Dwight Gayle was there as an "option". Apparently a poacher and got 1 goal in 29 games in his last 2 seasons with us; and unlike Wood, did nothing for the players around him. Thankfully one of the first names phased out under Howe.
