    Put up a poll.

    They've got no chance mate they're not good enough and have an injury and fatigue issue before Xmas. It's only going to get worse.

    These lot won't accept Newcastle aren't good enough to finish top 6 until mathematics can assist the people telling them and unfortunately then they'll say hindsight was required.

    The cheek of it sometimes.

    Pretty sure we are getting relegated and selling all our best players tbf.

    Didn't see that option so plumped for 6th as a second choice.

    We did, although it was relegation and then sell our best players last time, I'll be apoplectic if the Saudi's sell our first string XI and we get relegated because of it!

    Convinced is difficult as it could change in the blink of an eye. But I went for 6th, on the basis Villa are better and Man U get better results. Spurs aren't all that, Brighton are starting to fade a little, top 3 takes care of itself so we've got a decent chance of finishing 6th.

    But that 6th place is dependent on if we get investment, to a Jan '22 level and then some. None of this fart-arsing around with grafting English backup players; we need high end, quality players who can come in and make their mark as Trippier and Bruno G did back then. We need a sparkling right winger in the Doku/Bailey/Diaby/Garnacho mould. We need a solid CB in the Botman/Gvardiol/Dias mould. And we need a quality left back in the Hernandez/Di Marco mould. Just go out and spend the money, hit the rest of season hard and push for 5th+.

    If it's yet another window where we aim for the likes of Harrison Ashby, Harvey Barnes and Lewis Hall then I'll be dumbfounded.

    Should have just kept max and spent the Barnes money on a cb. I think Newcastle and Howe will be after Maguire or maybe Anderson who's a decent cb.

    You were constantly saying you wanted Maxi to leave!

    Barnes is a huge upgrade on ASM.
