    If Gerry Taggart and Matt Elliott play well I can’t see Spurs breaking them down and Heskey will cause problems.

    Fair points. Sterling would be a definite for us, we're currently playing Jacob Murphy as our RW so there's not a lot of competition. I think even your 3rd/4th choice RW players are better than him - don't get me wrong I like Murphy as he works hard and is capable of moments of good play but he's a Championship player (well pre-Howe he was on loan in the Championship in his mid-20s and it was very much his level).

    Gallagher only needs to be better than Saun Longstaff. Pretty sure he is. Our best three in the middle are Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton but I'm not sure they'll work together in our system so we need the legs of a Longstaff or Willock (who I really rate) and suspect Gallagher would be better.

    As for CB, we're due to be Emile Kraft again at the weekend. The RB of limited ability who we signed for £5m 5 years ago and has average 14 games a season for us since. I reckon any of those 3 CB cast offs would be better, indeed we've been trying to sign two of your previous cast offs to fill that hole (Timori and Guehi).

    yeah, we need a create guy in there and they chuck enzo in there. Biggest waste of money can't believe he was signed for over 100m. The only thing he can do is pass and be racist. He can barely shoot, he's slow as hell but he's not actually that creative. Theres a reason poch dropped him but maresca the dumb **** has made him the creative fulcrum

    Those were the days - funnily enough Heskey always had Sol Campbell on toast whenever he played against him ...

    Feel I should point out that Newcastle did far better against the Sky Six last year than we had done the season we finished 4th. Last year we messed up massively against the "smaller" teams, if you told me Lukaku would get 15 goals for us this year against the bottom 10 teams I'd sign him and save Isak for the other games - they all count!

    Frank Bruno had a similar physique... and was similarly found wanting against the very best... <whistle>

    yea, i though tonali bruno and joelinton were your best 3. Agree he's better than longstaff.

    I thought tonali and joelinton were runners. Obviously joelinton started off as your failed striker but i thought they were both pretty athletic.

    Not sure you can say that our CBs would be starters for you because there are injuries. Thats like saying Callum Wilson is a starter for United because their strikers are injured.

    Refusing to pass to Caicedo, Lavia, Jackson, Madueke, Nkunku etc can’t help.

    Given all the racist issues I found it utterly astonishing they made Enzo captain. All whilst trying to whore out Gallagher to anyone willing to slip a tenner in Boehly's bra. Clusterfuck of a club I'm afraid buddy.

    Can only conclude Maresca is a closet fascist.

    I guess if you're a hardline fascist it's difficult to come out of the closet.

    Yeah makes no sense to me. Some are saying the manager has been told to select certain players over others the owners have decided they no longer want

    Chelsea are a shambles

    It’s Spanish for having double the disdain. Sucky is a man of culture. He buys yoghurt regularly.
