Absolutely no chance. Been linked with Monaco for €5m. Not a chance he's coming here.

Currently strong in defensive areas (but with Brittain set to leave), strong CM (but with Trav likely to leave), very weak attacking options. De Neve, Tyjon, and Kargbo totally unproven at this level, Ohashi is good, Gueye a handful but very erratic and will never be a regular goal scorer, Leonard an injury write off, Cantwell is talented, and Hedges is simply not good enough. We've lost 5 attacking players over the summer - Dolan, Weimann, Dennis, Cozier-Duberry, and Woodrow (albeit the latter 3 completely ineffective and offered nothing). We absolutely need 3 more attacking additions - RW, ST, AM. Presume Baradji will replace Trav, and then it's 3 additions on top of that. 4 if and when Brittain goes.

Basically, I’m not breaking confidence, as, this is the only current communication open with the club. Breach that and we’ve nowt at all. I understand the frustration and so do the entire Forum, but that’s the lay of the land.

This Indian pair have dug in well. It’s very nicely poised still and I’m expecting a close finish tomorrow evening.

As @bluebruce says above, I’m not sure how anyone can have watched last season and say Cantwell is our best player. He’s our best known, but was far from our best. Thats not me criticising him as such, as I feel he’s got an important part to play. But watching him, you can say why he’s ended up here and isn’t on any top clubs radar.

Cantwell? He may be gifted but at this stage that's a strong claim. Wasn't even one of our top 4 players last season.

Now that's a reel I like the look of. Strength, technique, dribbling, quite quick, good vision. Bit of exciting flair in there too. Loves a back heel and knows how to use it. If he's also top scorer in the Conference League as stated, I think we can file this under 'I wish'.

Broggan & Decania,, lol Should be Boggan & Decandia

Newcastle fans really have become entitled. Reading their forum you'd think the sky is falling in. Blaming the club for no ambition. Having a go at Eddie howe. They've just qualified for the champions league for the second time in 3 years won a cup.

Seems to have been the top scorer in the Conference League last season. Surely no way we could afford him and seems a very weak link.

if he costs more than half a million then he is`nt coming here😥

Lost 3-0 - deservedly so I might add.

Looks like he could play the Cantwell role and cover for the strikers. Left footed so maybe can play the Hedges role too.

I’m really hoping that the minutes are out shortly, the season begins and we get back some momentum in achieving objectives, removing Pasha and ultimately, the owners selling our club.

Can't see any reports at all on this, can you send the link? He's got a class name btw.

A couple of days after Hulk Hogan’s passing, it’s now being reported that Mr. America has also gone missing.

Score?

Stolen from a Facebook group Anyone know now you share Facebook group links or are we not allowed?

I thought it might be all over today. I’m starting to think we’d need a day six.

It’s the fact that people who went can’t or won’t talk about it until the minutes finally come out that annoys me. Us fans are starved of communication from the club and this is the only real route we have to hear what’s going on. So just tell us instead of all this gentlemen’s agreement bollocks whilst another 4 weeks go by of hush hush I know stuff but can’t tell you.

Yes. Exactly. The expensive areas.

This was the team sheet. Everyone got on at some point. It was Decania who partnered Grady-Macken at the beginning of the second half before Max Davies came on and Grady-Macken moved to centre mid

So at the moment adding in Buckley and discounting them, we have 21 registerable players with, in all probability, Brittain set to leave? Out of the ones who dont need to be registered, you'd probably expect Leonard to go out on loan as well. Very thin in certain areas, predominantly in attacking ones.

He's our best player, so being the top earner isn't really any kind of revelation. He's been the first to admit that his output wasn't good enough last season, but he's started this pre-season very well and his qualities are pretty clear to see, if you watch our games. He'll be huge for us this season.
