Fully agree - he'll go to Chelsea to join the stable of over paid immature lads of African descent. Shame. No way he'll go to Man U or us now.
I'm counting on it! Next season is absolutely massive for him. Excuses are gone and he'll have a better squad than the one that finished 4th. I agree with Douglas, the squad needs trimming significantly - I don't like the noises about Howe wanting to keep people like Dummett, Ritchie, Almiron. I can believe that as well, given Longstaff's new deal.
As I said elsewhere a while ago, City won the league with around a dozen less registered players than Newcastle. Yes the quality is far superior, but when I look at our squad it doesn't make any sense to have the likes of Dummett, Ritchie, Krafth, etc., taking up room. The squad should be managed by having two players per position, with some of those adaptable enough to make up for emergencies, then solid youth.
We've got 4 goalies, which is one too many. We have 4 (including Ashby) right backs, one too many. 5 at CB is probably right, although obvs 2 have ACL's. 4 LB again one too many yet we're after Kelly. Burn can cover there as welll. Midfield is well stocked, but without a real CDM. Forwards we're light, in both numbers and quality. If it were me, I'd have:
GK - Pope, Marma, Karius
RB - Livra, Trippier
RCB - Tosin, Schar
LCB - Botman, Burn
LB - Kelly, Hall
CDM - Bruno, Ndidi
RCM - Tonali, Longstaff
LCM - Joelinton, Willock
RW - Raphinha, Murphy
CF - Isak, Sesko
LW - Gordon, Barnes
Then there's a few youth options to cover, including A.Murphy (def), Miley, White (midfield), Anderson, Minteh (attack). But for me you should be getting rid of Ritchie, Dummett, Krafth, Targett, Almiron, Wilson, etc.
Statement still stands... He'll want to be arguing over penalties and being all moody and sulky - in London. Nailed on.
We probably can offer more than Chelsea - they're in an insanely dodgy place re PSR. Not sure they can keep selling themselves assets and no idea how they'll cover the shortfall otherwise - but I'm sure they will...
The asset selling is absolute ****ing bullshit, every club in the PL should be mounting a legal challenge. Selling assets in itself is dodgy as to how that’s a PSR workaround, but this takes the biscuit.
That's just another reason. As with most things there's usually more than one reason behind anything.
Last I heard the PL hadn't even approved the hotel sale, never mind the training ground.
They can’t possibly. It’s mental. Typical US owners thinking they can just do it American-style.
34 years old and never fully managed a game in his life....but he suggested Jude Bellingham should be replaced by Joselu*, Eddie out, Ancelotti's son in!
*although that substitution might have come off, he would have looked like the biggest ****er on the face of the planet had Real lost.

If he doesn’t want to be here and wants to chase the money that’s his loss
Competition is growing for RB Leipzig's Spain forward Dani Olmo, with Newcastle United, Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City,Liverpool and Bayern Munich all interested in the 26-year-old. (Mundo Deportivo - in Spanish)
Newcastle in a strong position If this one's true.
Fabrizio Romano saying that NUFC still favourites for Tosin, despite Chelsea's interest.
Having done some reading up on Fulham fans opinions of the player, the general consensus seems to be that although he's a decent enough defender, he's somewhat prone to errors and loses concentration at points during matches.
