Not when we're selling.

Course you are, I just didn't think you'd actually want him back.

Not one person on here would swap Pears for Wahlstedt

Seemingly got triple what he was getting here.

Really hope they've got this one right, agree it's the last one I'd be gambling on. I'd rather an older experienced keeper rather than a foreign punt. Got to trust them I suppose, after the last couple of signings, but with only Pears available, it's one they must get right.

Let's be honest, it's the headband. Looking past that, Cantwell could be that creative spark needed, which we haven't got. Quality isn't in doubt, if Eustace could get a tune out of him, Gueye could be lethal.

Brilliant 🤣

Looks a sensible move, especially having last season under his belt.

Key to the situation might well be the number of potential incomings. If it's a small number ie 3 or 4, you can guarantee that Eustace would, rightly, be adamant he gets the ones he wants. If it's 7 or 8, he'd probably be happy to gamble on 3 or 4.

Wouldn't want Hannibal anyway..........

John Kettley? He's a weather man.

Ironic thing is, given the choice I'd pick Ruddy over Trafford.

Dingles want a sale, unsurprisingly. More thinking it might shove Ruddy out.

Just on Talksport, Newcastle want Trafford on loan, Dingles want a sale.

I'll be there on Tuesday, and hope we win, but all I'm really bothered about is doing whatever it takes to be in the best position on Saturday.

Of all the positions,whether it's Ruddy or not, I'd be inclined to give Eustace the last word on the keeper. I don't mind having a bit of a gamble on any other appointment, but it's crucial we get the keeper right,and Eustace is happy with who comes in. As we all know, it's an easy one to get horribly wrong.

Maybe Eustace remembers the players as ones who were in the play off places when he left, rather than ones who went down under Rooney.

It's the Cowboys v the Indians.

Ruddy just got off the Newcastle coach at Bournemouth.

Agree completely, most importantly Eustace should be alive to the reasons why we shouldn't sign him, rather than why we should. I've no idea why Eustace would go out on a limb to try to sign an ex player he wasn't sure about.

Did we pay anything for them? Shows what you can get for nowt when you do your homework. It's a two way street as far as I'm concerned, yes you have to trust the recruitment team, but if Eustace has previous knowledge of a player he feels can fill a hole, and is the right price, it would be mad to ignore it.

I've no idea why you'd have an aversion to Eustace showing an interest in ex players he knows and trusts.

I've had 3 messaging this week bemoaning the strength of their squad, I shit you not. Two of them from Sunderland today. That's after spending over 30 million this summer alone. They're definitely not confident.

Old fella said to me on the way out, if we play like that next week we'll get hammered. We are blagging it a bit, but long may it continue. Bit of luck with the equaliser, longest 1 minute extra I've ever seen, but we'll take it, we definitely needed it. There are important points up for grabs with all teams getting up to speed, and all squads still to add players. The more we can hoover up before the end of September the better, it's a long season for a light squad. Fantastic finish for the winner.

I'm sure the full members match was the one in the fog.
