    Not sure there is such a brigade?
    Most posts I've seen about him suggest he should be getting more game time.

    Oh there was... they were peddling the notion that the only explanation was he was useless and they'd realised they made a mistake.

    Barnes is looking way overpriced at this point.

    He’s just completely forgettable. He’s a £15m player we managed to spunk £40m on despite desperately needing players in at least 4 other positions.

    He looks absolutely ****e at the moment.....he can shoot but offers absolutely nothing else. I can see why Leicester fans were saying he's useless 4 games out 5.

    Hopefully he'll improve but he's been a poor signing so far.... 45 million for a player that looks worse than Albrighton.

    Like a few players we have he’d be best in a 4231 (though still bang average) yet we don’t play that way and never will. Hes not like Gordon at all. Incredibly strange signing.

    I'm worried about this summer... Ashworths gone and Howe has got himself into a position of almost complete control. Who will they they bring in ? We'd have Phillips already if Howe got his man, so I dread to think what else he could bring in.... there's far too much emphasis on plodders.

    I would bet my house on Longstaff Burn and Murphy starting our first match next season.

    Let’s see. Before Ashworth we bought Trippier and Bruno. If we do similar in Summer then I would be pretty pleased. Glass half full.

    It's potentially a crucial window... get 3 or 4 right and we'll kick on but I can't get-away from the links to Phillips and Gallagher.

    Won't be signing either, both overpriced especially Phillips and we ain't paying those wages.

    Well Guimareas is going without a shadow of doubt.. his tears after were clearly because he knows it was his last game at St James Park...the fans have tried to lay it on thick but he wants to win something. Hopefully he goes to man city and it'll remind Newcastle fans they can lick arse all they want but they don't matter when platers careers are involved.

    Madrid paid nowt for Mbappe and both Modric and Kroos are done, I think he’ll go there.

    Basically if they or any big club want him he's going ..its really that simple and any butt munching delusionals that think otherwise are going to find out the hard way. It's not that he isn't happy here o that he doesn't like the fans it's because he has his own dreams and ambitions that can be realised. He wasn't born to get this close just to throw it all away to keep a few fat slobs in the gallowgate happy.

    He isn't going to win anything here! Newcastle are miles away from top honours! Jesus we've still got a lorry driver getting minutes ffs.

    Oh please do put a tampon in will you. You slag off Barnes who Ashworth brought in and then moan Howe and Nixon are in charge this summer (who brought in Bruno, Isak, Botman, Trippier, Burn and Pope)

    Have a guess who has final say on the DoF. He was consulted on the last 2 and which one he would prefer.
