A massive success, You might struggle to say I meant that. @SamJCrawley @milesSI
@CraigHope_DM The logistics shouldn't be too complicated to sort out considering Cucurella, who is also with the Spain squad, has completed his move in the last few days.
@thelittlemans Realistically we needed to go into the market regardless of Tino. We have now have one fit RB, LB and two fit CBs, and this includes Botman who cannot be relied upon to stay available. It's not possible to compete in multiple competitions like this. Especially with contracts.
@thelittlemans I really don't see us actually doing any deals with any Saudi clubs. It seems like we've been fully put off after the mild backlash over selling ASM.
@Edit_Kev While I understand the point being made, the away form should be viewed in relation to the rest of the league. That first season we were brilliant in comparison, while the seasons since we have had midtable away form relative to the rest of the league.
@JoelBlandSport It would make more sense to go with a stronger team today and rotate heavily against Bradford. We are usually poor against Bournemouth so a weakened side, or unfamiliar formation, would make it a really difficult match.
Al Hilal looking to sell Marcos Leonardo? Newcastle need a striker.
Can't be messed around with if we have the same owners. Young, goalscorer, versatile, Brazilian, Mitrovic can put in a good word. I'd love it.
I do think the optics of the move would put the club off though #nufc
@thelittlemans It's been decent, we've raised the floor of the squad, but I'd argue that the first 11 has stayed the same level or regressed (depending on Isak). This isn't a bad thing as our depth was terrible previously.
BUT the windows success is entirely on IF we can bring a striker in.
@JoelBlandSport There are obvious mitigating factors, but criticism is deserved. If this was the audition for Andy and Nickson for potential future directorial roles it's gone very badly. You need to be able to identify players that are good enough, but interested and attainable too.
@thelittlemans Hopefully for his sake the move happens. We've already let him down before, and now there is no big Ekitike outlay the budget should be there to reach a compromise.
@thelittlemans Untested in Europe and not a priority position. With having so much difficulty in doing our main targets I can't imagine we're seriously considering other positions unless someone leaves.
@thelittlemans Only 2 weeks in, but over a year since the last first team signing. I think the unsuccessful last few windows have understandably got fans very nervous. A good signing will settle the nerves. Have to hope we didn't put all the eggs in the top targets baskets.
@LukeEdwardsTele I think some of the reaction was to the original link you posted following the emojis which originally sent you to the article from the 13th.
@GraemeBailey I'm not sure a left winger that's failed to establish himself at Marseille, who are frustrated at having to buy him, is the priority for Newcastle.
@thelittlemans Act early and bring in a top quality addition to the first 11. It would show intent, which would help further signings and contract talks. Mbuemo would be ideal in my opinion.
