    I'm not saying he's a **** player, but I don't think this is good recruitment at all. It'll bite us in the ass I think.

    Everyone else can argue all day long but I'm not going to change my opinion.

    We need 3 first 11 players imo..

    Balsa wood is easy to damage... Isak tends to get plenty of knocks.

    Tbf most of the fans were hating on Lewin, but that was OK for them. If you're a minority opinion it's a difficult place sometimes.

    A 19 goal striker who can play across the line isn’t first 11 standard?

    I don't think he gets ahead of Gordon Isak or Elanga. I was expecting a player that undoubtedly is better than what's already here or that offers something different.

    Perhaps we still get that... I don't think signing 29 years olds is great for psr and that's a significant aspect in my opinion.

    It is my opinion and if everyone else is buzzing that's great.

    Feels like exactly what it is - a plan f signing. Just cannot imagine Tonali, Isak looking on going “onwards and upwards”.

    The player to one side and you have to ask what the hell they're paying Nickson and Andy how for? ? My gran knows who Wissa is.

    I'm not even saying he's a bad player, but it's like our scouts are too busy to look around.

    Been like this for three years. That said although Tonali was a surprise he was not unknown either.

    The scouting team here have become ****ing dire since Andy Howe got himself a promotion.

    Wissa is a stop gap signing until we signa younger long term replacement. Experience for challenges on multiple fronts. A solid signing.

    Very few would get ahead of that 3 and we need quality in depth. 19 goals is quality to me.

    Meh, it’s another underwhelming piece of Newcastle business that just underlines, highlights and italicises what Mitchell said.

    Ashley's signings were more ambitious in the end. Very odd this window so far.

    Really as fans we should butt out of the finance side. Is he a very good EPL striker who bolsters our squad considerably? I’d say yes definitely

    Im not mentioning the money side! I think it’s incredibly underwhelming, again. He’s fine, but it’s like the scouts basically look down a list of forwards based on GA from last season. What the **** scouting do we have here? It’s garbage.
