    You're as guilty as any of going after players..managers as well and you're not correct I have said positive things about Longstaff.

    Here's the thing I even credited Bruce Pardew and literally anyone on this planet when it's due..I'm not on partisan crusades like some... credit when due and vice versa.. that's how it should be.

    Now again .. is there any transfer news ?

    I think this question will still be being asked by August.

    Don't make me use screenshots mate but you're sadly incorrect which is why I've explained the reality to you. Unfortunately it appears you're going to continue so have a nice day Mr Peterson.

    Not yes, although the transfer window hasn't offically opened yet.

    Possibly yes. Unless we wrap all our business up (in and out) in the first few weeks - which is unlikely as there is always an end of window merry-go-round.for deals that are based on other deals going through, like a chain for a house sale.

    I'm in your corner here buddy.

    You can just prove yourself correct by showing overt praise you've made of Longstaff this season. That'll finish the issue and they'll have to move on.

    Well I’ve just heard that the Kelly deal is as good as complete.

    Then they can show me all the praise they gave Bruce Pardew Joselu and hendrick.....maybe Joelinton before he moved to midfield as well.

    Where are you hearing these things? They keep saying this and same applies to Tosin.

    Tosin, Kelly AND Mbuemo? My lucky stars.

    Silverware here we come.

    Looks like they're going strengthen the squad rather than the 11. I get the feeling the money isn't there.

    I suspect the money just isn't there unless they sell and selling one of the few elite players will only see the club splash out on players like Gallagher and Dewsbury Hall... Howes signings are very safe and dull.... hopefully it works though.

    Newcastle are the Hi Tec silver shadow of the Premier league.

    Even the rumours are dull. DCL, Lloyd Kelly, Bryan Mbuemo?

    Win the PL, she said. Elite club, she said.

    Sure.

    Totally unfounded assumption.

    Given the current finances, we should have funds available for 2-3 more quality signings, plus any free signings, such as Kelly. And that is without having to sell any star players.

    And if by "safe and dull" you mean Isak, Bruno, Botman, Gordon, Tonali, Tino & Hall, then great, bring more in please Eddie. Fantastic job.

    The likes of Pope Burn and Targett will be Howes picks ( not bad but not finds) and the others will be down to Nicksons work largely.

    What I'd say is where are the real finds ? It was easy paying big money for the players you listed, but now we're apparently left with the other approach ie safe proven plodders.. where are this managers finds ? Newcastle, so far have found nothing. If the money is gone all we're left with is the safe plodders. Would you not like to see some better work finding a few gems?

    Creating the kind of scouting network that discovers gems takes time and investment. Otherwise every team would have it. And finding gems shouldn't be down to the manager, that's not his role.
    Keep stirrng though. It's working on Roly at least, so credit where 8t's due.

    You listed the players and assigned them to Howe? So you can't have it both ways mate.

    Let's replace the word Howe with club then ? Fair enough ? Not stirring just being fair surely.
