He must still have aspirations for getting at least one French cap.

He won't get that playing MK Dons in the Championship.

Although to be honest, if he goes, the Mags will do a 'Benitez' and claim he wasn't that good.

I don't think he is tbh, needs some serious coaching ...

... he's a black & white Watmore tbh.

Very similar (but not quite as good as) Adama Traore. Loads of pace, good when he’s got the ball at his feet, zero end product! Almiron!! hell man I run half marathons every week, I could run for 90 minutes and do **** all else! Exactly what he does!!!! The lad in the video I actually have time for because, as you say, he’s realistic instead of living in a bubble!

How can the “RICHEST CLUB IN THE WORLD” (as we’ve had shoved down our throats since they bought them) be “priced out” of something? I don’t get it? Are they rich or not?

Certainly an interesting one and maybe, just maybe the Saudi bloke won't be spending his entire oil fortune on Mbappe and Haaland..... who would have thought eh?
 
watched the leicester game...only player that rolled his socks up and showed some fight was ASM, end product or not he is the one player who can inspire the rest but that only works when the rest follow, they really looked like they could not be arsed the more the game went on, even the 'usually reliable' shelvey seemed subdued.

we have seen it many times, when a team let's it's collective heads drop it is in trouble.

I honestly don't know much about Howe but I don't think he has a reputation for attracting established players which is certainly what they need right now. Isn't it usually bargains from the lower leagues, loans and fringe PL hopefuls?

The Mags may delude themselves into believing Howe was first choice and that he's the man for the job but, to me, he looks out of his depth and floundering already. He doesn't have the authority and brass neck, to tell the players the truth. His comments yesterday just gave them a free pass to be shyte tbh. They needed an Allardyce to shake everyone up and bring in the right people. Half of Newcastle's remaining games are against the top sides starting with Liverpool, Man City and United. Lose those and it may already be too late.

While Newcastle are busy playing the top sides Norwich have Villa, West Ham, Arsenal and Palace. I'll be surprised if Newcastle aren't nailed to the bottom by the time the window opens and who'll want to sign up to almost certain relegation.

In the meantime I've heard gossip that ASM is asking for a move as he can't settle in the NE because his kids are unhappy here. To be fair he's previously been in Nice, Corsica and Monaco which are all top holiday destinations with great coastlines. Newcastle may be great for stag nights but it's pap for French school kids.

He isnt wrong. Scoreline doesnt reflect the story - leicester wasnt dominating us. We were awful in defence & midfield, made stupid mistakes, but we had many little chances, while Leicester was just outclassed us with clinical finishing, scoring 4 (1 pen) out of their 5 chances.


so, mags were awful in defence and midfield and were outclassed with clinical finishing...sorry stephan but that sounds like your team were well beaten, even after a fairly dire performance like that some of them still think they were in the game.

hence the reason i typed it as i did... 'usually reliable' to lose his head or at least show some fight in some way, not usually reliable as in someone to pull you out of the sh1te but for all his faults he is one player who will normally dig in and try to get those around him fired up.

If the Covid crisis means suspension and the current PL league placings stand then Newcastle are down ...

... will the Mags claim Covid was developed simply to relegate them.

On the other hand it could save them if the PL decide there will be no relegations.

Man Utd game against Brentford in doubt tomorrow due to covid in the Utd camp. Spurs have had to postpone their last couple of games. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.

I'm sure if covid cuts the season short it will go to a PL vote... The die is already cast on that outcome

2020 we locked down, got cases right down then Kent Variant did for us and we were back in the same **** 2021. Then we have the vaccine, and they promised us normality by Easter (which turned out to be late summer)
Now, here we are approaching 2022, 90% of us are fully vaccinated and this variant (that they still know nothing about) is threatening our freedoms again?

Is there no ****ing end?
