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.

Posted a while ago that I'd seen the one which had us finishing 4th and also that the Lancashire Evening Post in Preston had done another one which had us finishing in the bookies pick of 17th and PNE in 23rd.

Another 3 would "feel right" to you because thats how many we seemingly plan to get. I never said that the budget definitely wont stretch. What I am saying is that is isnt an unlimited pot of money, maybe the striker plan has been shelved because there isnt enough resources to fill all positions adequately so we are having to prioritise. He doesnt "clearly" feel its enough. We dont know what he feels truly. There could be a number of reasons why we may not get a striker. Or indeed, maybe a striker will be within the 3 we plan to get. You keep throwing in names like Leonard who is not with the first team and is never fit and a young 3rd choice goalkeeper to increase the numbers. I personally think we need more than 3, I think 4 or 5. I fear that we may again have issues with squad depth as the season goes on. I also think that based on what was said before the window, that we arent going to get everything that we planned to. That could be for a number of reasons, I am merely speculating, it doesnt automatically mean that the manager will be 100% totally satisfied by what happens in this window. I suspect very few managers are when the window closes as they would have liked one or two more but resources etc wont allow or deals dont happen for whatever reason.

Not for me, remember him turning his back on a team mate away at Swansea because he didn't want the ball from a throw in. Whatever his beefs with management that was utterly inexcusable. As for Stoke signing him at age 36 that smacks of being beyond desperate but then again they bought Gallagher and Ennis off us so maybe weird and wonderful things are still going on in their recruitment department.

Leonard/Tyjon/Michalski/Montgomery wouldn't need to be registered as part of the squad as they are 21 or under. They would also have been available to supplement the 25 man squad we had last year. Lets put it this way. We are well down in over 21 players at the moment.

But Michalski, Montgomery, Tyjon and Leonard are home grown youngsters so don't count towards the 25. Add Buckley Back to transfers, any truth that Brittain left Spain a day ahead of the other players?
