    Players shouldn't need guarantees. Just play your way into the team. That might help determine which team you go to. If Marma sees Pope as too big a threat, then does he have the right mentality anyway?

    All of that said, he'll clearly pick Liverpool over us right now, especially knowing that after his season long loan back Allison will be leaving them.

    Trippier out on loan to Everton? That's doesn't sound so helpful to our balance sheet. Sell him or use him to reduce the price they're asking for DCL, if we're still interested.

    The enemy will first be planning to mock Newcastle for failing to sign Guehi and their secondary attack will be to laugh at the price.

    Ultimately they're defeated and saving face.

    Also seen various reports linking us with Barca's Andreas Christensen as another CB option.

    Nah that’s just related to all the guesswork surrounding Guehi not happening. No substance other than Barca needing to ship players out. We don’t need another but do need to sell Lascelles in Jan.

    Roland is only a week away from defeating the entire Newcastle fanbase.

    Entire? So that would include your defeat then, and Roland defeating himself too... Unless you really are a Sunderland or Villa fan?

    Probably easier for you than guessing whether Gordon would turn out to be a decent transfer or not anyway lol

    The date is well before we signed him or were even linked.

    The day it went through I was one of only a few backing the signing regardless of that post I made.

    There is no nailing me down

    The first and last assessment are the same.. ultimately I backed the signing in the end.

    Others did not when he signed.

    Singular? <laugh><laugh>

    No, I don't deny that you probably thoroughly covered both bases <laugh>
    But really, it wasn't just a singular negative post from you in the immediate build-up to the signing, was it? <laugh>

    Guehi done deal. All attributes to play keeper, defender, midfielder, winger, striker, bench warmer - here we go <whistle>
