Actually...

I have serious concerns how we scale up in this setup/group of players. Howe is gonna have to find a way to play outside transitions domestically. Played like this at times last year and a certain striker would just bail us out.

It's quite annoying that in all our we must sign PL proven players mantra that we didn't sign the most obvious one in Jackson

I'm also not sure he isn't caught at least enough to make the shot not high quality. If it's Elanga, probably a different story

Would be a different discussion if we had a healthy Wilson. Then maybe we sell Isak for a "reasonable" fee but it's just not feasible to go into season with Osula or makeshift Gordon as the #1 and the last thing we can afford is selling Isak and then expect other teams to be reasonable with us.

At 50m, absolutely instant buy. I'd pay that even if Isak ends up staying another year

Wait until he finds out that such coke product is called "Mexican Coke"... He's gonna rename it as American Coke isn't he

I personally think Gordon and Martinelli should be a straight swap*

*I can assure you this has absolutely nothing to do with me being a Newcastle fan and a huge fan of Martinelli

People seem to have this idea that no other big team has ever sold a player for big money that they would have preferred not to

Newcastle is going to have to sell someone of significant value at some point anyway. It's just the reality of a PSR world.

It's also not like Chelsea are short on players. I could understand this more if building depth was needed but that just isn't a problem here. Especially if some of the developmental buys work out in the next 1-2 years

Grace has given Americans credit?! This is borderline a blink twice if you are okay situation

You're missing Tillman

Please tell me you were following the other account too

The best part to me is we get to watch how they will financially mismanage a 100m gift on 1-2 players who aren't nearly worth it

Unai certainly is handling it well!
