January window….

The chant at the Brighton game followed a “Yves Bissouma sexual groomer” vibe. Good tune actually.

 

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but even in our league position, with the money we have we shouldn't need to take that risk. It could prove disruptive to the squad at a time we need everyone pulling in the same direction.

 

Always good to approach issues such as this with an open mind….

 

Yeah, but let's condemn the mackems for victim blaming over Adam Johnson!

There are some right numpties out there and a good few of them are ours!

 

Yes obviously not the wisest comment.

 

Does this mean we're signing Schick and they've already got their replacement

 

Nope he’s off to Sociedad and we’re getting Isak, the ball is rolling

 

Today's ****e:

Newcastle United are hopeful of signing Burnley defender James Tarkowski, with Burnley willing to take a bid for the 29-year-old Englishman. (Sun)

Representatives of Sevilla defender Diego Carlos are trying to persuade the club to sell him to Newcastle. The Magpies are keen on the 28-year-old Brazilian, with the Spanish club wanting around £60m. (90 min)

Newcastle are set to hold fresh talks with Brighton over a move for Mali midfielder Yves Bissouma, 25, who would cost the Magpies £50m. (Mail)


Don't think we need to raid Burnley anymore, and Carlos seems very unlikely now, would take Bissouma in a heartbeat, but I can't see it.

 

60m for Carlos is extremely expensive and although it’s not my money i can’t see them spending that.

Bissouma is worth 40-50m I reckon mind. But someone said there is a case against him so we shouldn’t.

I can’t see much happening this week.

But I can see Lingard and or Alli before the window close.

 

Bissouma would be a great signing

 

Suspicion of sexual assault, so probably not something we wanna be associated with:

Would be very happy with Lingard, Ali off the boil for a few years, but could hopefully get back on form, although I don't see him ever getting back to the form of 5 years ago.

 

No rush now they'll pick up a few more before Everton that's for sure

 

I think there will be a lot of movement at the end of the window
when owners realise that the Toon will not be back for their player
until they go on a free leaving them out of pocket

 

Who?

Call it, I wanna know.

 

I still think Carlos will be here and lingard maybe de Alli too.

Zapata seems likely if they want him enough. Bakker seems close

I don't know mate but they'll get a few in no bother... Clubs are sitting on offers everywhere and as the deadline approaches they'll start having people saying accept it we need that money.

 

Yep agreed. There’s a number of players worth something today where other clubs won’t want to pay, but the selling club would take some cash. So for example Kessie at AC Milan. They’re always skint so it’s either cash in now for about £20m or less, or lose him for free in the Summer. Someone like Leicester aren’t going to pay money now, preferring to wait - this is where we need to strike hard and fast,

 

Yep they'll pick up a few surprises late on if they pop up

 

They're trying to hold us to ransom over Carlos, £50m would be stupid.

Would rather take Carlos than Tarkowski though.

With Feds coming back soon and Manq back now, I think we need to prioritise midfield/goals. We need to go all out for Lingard, Ali is a bit of a risk though.

 

Let's not forget when we lost lacelles it was like signing an entire new club

 

Exactly but late on people on boardrooms will be demanding they accept the 30 million
