Unpopular opinion but if Bruno wants to leave we should let him. We can't offer him what he needs in the last years of his peak and he's given his all. £60m is a pisstake though. Id want at least £80m #NUFC

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@leighralphuae He's also blatantly ignoring the fact that Eddie has used Woltemade to plug the Bruno gap and get some added creativity into midfield #nufc

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@LFCAmericanReds Honestly Gakpo is a better finisher Gordon used to be a lot better off the ball and until recently, was the best attacking presser ive seen but he has bought into his own hype and doesnt seem to be putting in the same effort as he used to. He probably would for Liverpool though

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@JackStanley86 The worrying thing is that he has a bigger platform than any other #NUFC fan and can set the tone of online discourse and those with the loudest voices do get listened to more

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

6-1 win away from home in Europe and he would rather push his agenda than support the most successful manager in living memory #nufc

PENALTY GATE

I shouldn’t even need to post about this given the great win we just got but it’s impossible to ignore given the reports that came out earlier about Woltemade considering his future, seeing these images it’s very obvious he’s not 100% happy.

And who can blame him? He’s the Germany number 9 and Eddie Howe is playing him in midfield after dropping him as a striker earlier this season. And let’s be absolutely clear he’s playing as a centre midfielder NOT as a 10 despite many wrong opinions on this.

That alone is disheartening and damaging to his career given his role for Germany. It’s quite baffling how the Newcastle fan base are just overlooking this as if it’s normal to sign a number 9 and play him as a centre midfielder. Imagine Sesko or Ektike doing this? It’s mental. We signed him for a record fee & Howe was absolutely clear he was the main striker.

Anthony Gordon was stat padding against these farmers with ease, people will say that’s grounds for him to continue up front despite the piss poor opposition and track record over the last year but obviously this was a very weak opponent. 1 goal in open play in 13 MONTHS against premier league opposition, 4 goals in 45 minutes against a pub team - great night but it doesn’t disprove the last 13 months.

Gordon bagged a hat-trick and refused to give the 2nd penalty to Woltemade, after both Woltemade & Trippier asked him to do so. We were out of sight & Gordon came across as someone who couldn’t give 2 shits about anyone but himself despite Woltemade playing a role that sacrificed for the team. Not the first time Gordon looked like he didn’t want to help Woltemade this season. The issues between the two are now clear as day.

Woltemade looked absolutely GUTTED after the second penalty as seen in the image. He knows as a “striker” he’s judged on goals despite Eddie playing him in midfield. This was a perfect opportunity to give him a role up front and get more chances and Eddie still stuck him in midfield. A vote of no confidence…

Nobody could blame Woltemade for leaving this summer as his career is going backwards under Eddie Howe and that’s a FACT. #NUFC

@CharIieBennett Barcelona. Let's face its highly unlikely we'll win the whole thing. So let's face some teams that we don't play every year

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@HLTCO I think he's done more than enough that even an entire season goes wrong for him to deserve a chance to put it right in the next one.

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@VinnySoo83 We didn't pay that much because of the player he is now, we paid it for the player he'll be in a couple of years

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@davez2010 The Chelsea method. Buy cheap young player, realise they're not good enough, sell for double what you paid

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@J_Cawley2 12 months is misleading, Brentford have year option on that

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

Talk at the start of the summer was a budget of £100m. I reckon we've got a net spend of roughly £97m. Theyve done well to salvage this window #NUFC

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@Neiljohnsonsafc We could only get 1 point and it'll still be 1 more point than you'll ever get

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

I hope this ages terribly but Osula has been awful. Lost every 50/50 and keeps giving away stupid unnecessary fouls #NUFC

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@CraigHope_DM Any chance of Mainoo if we sell Isak?

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@MagnificoMags I reckon there's something in 99 Red Balloons. Number 9 Woltemade

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@ChrisPage_Boz Torn thigh?

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

@adam_sprigg Does our record fee not now increase by the sell on amount to Real Sociedad?

[TTB&WA @ttbwa1892]

Agent Toni? #NUFC
