    I've been saying it for 6 weeks but keep pretending it's a new thought.

    Its my attempt to hammer the point home that it's absolutely ****ing insane that we persist with **** that doesn't work.

    Since Howe came in I don't think Newcastle have ever been worse at corners. Ever.

    Trippier isn't just playing sloppy now and again. He looks absolutely ****ing ****e. Sunderland looked his level

    Howe's a "play yourself into form" guy, rather than a "this isn't working, let's change it" guy.

    Can't see us signing Phillips tbh,too much money and he's no Longstaff.

    But an astronomical loan fee of £7.5million and high contribution to his wages have been hurdles no team has managed to get over yet. Whether his agency - the world-renowned Stellar group - are looking for an obligation after the loan, such as a long contract and pay enhanced deal if the loan is successful is another issue to consider.

    Phillips is reportedly picking up £130,000 per week and were that figure to rise he'd find himself as Newcastle's highest-paid player with United already close to their financial ceiling. Selling to buy is another possibility, but Howe has already made it clear he wants to hold on to prize asset Bruno Guimaraes for as long as possible.

    A testing 20 days lies ahead for Newcastle as they look to negotiate their toughest window since the takeover.

    BTW When did this paying a fee ****e for getting a player in on a loan start? I always thought the loanee club would pay the player's wages and that was it.

    When teams realised that if other teams were desperate, they'd pay. Remember Man U offering us Lingard on loan but we'd have to pay £12m if we stayed up.

    I don't see why Man City would price themselves out of a loan move for a bench warmer who rarely plays.

    We should just look elsewhere.

    Another soft tissue, by the way.

    Will Howe ever learn? He better, according to Eales he's here forever.

    Come on man, Joelinton was shoved by that dirty Mackem and landed badly.
    How is that Eddie's fault? <laugh>

    The only thing Eales is involved in is the financial and profile growth. He isn't going to comment on a manager unless prompted and will follow the party line.

    Also, apparently we are involved in paying Amanda Staveley 600k every few months.

    On the clubs accounts, by the ****ing way. If the Saudis want to pay off her debts, that's their business, but why as interest free debts added to the club?

    One step forward two steps back with this club. Ridiculous.

    Joelinton is a massive part of our team, gets stuck in, the odd goal, runs like a ****ing animal.

    Apparently not. Howe said he wasn't close.

    He did comment, unprompted.

    Staveleys costs are the legal bills she ran up buying the club, so all related and not impacting anything.
