I am gutted Doyle is coming back. A big sign, if you ask me, he is not going to make it.
Hamburg was a perfect place to develop and get game time.

From the little I've read, he wasn't getting the game time? Perhaps he will go out again to the championship as he is talented. We need to be looking at cover for Rodders but I don't see Tommy in that role and now he has Palmer and Mcatee ahead of him for attacking midfield options

It’s £25m for Chris Wood!!! Crazy. Just spend that much buying a Championship guy, like the Blackburn player, and take a gamble. Rather than someone who has scored three goals this season.

Think he will do ok there. He isn't a mug. Hes scored something like the 13th most PL goals over the last four or five years and this was playing for Burnley who aren't renowned for their attacking tactics.

He will slot right in as he knows the PL and the physicality of it. For comparison a young lad at a French club who is 19 and has scored 8 goals in a far inferior league is being touted at £30m. How many of these types of players have sunk without a trace over the years? Loads I reckon

I still think it’s mental money on someone that will be 31 this year and that is very one dimensional. They’ll literally need to just throw balls into the box and not go through ASM. Seems weird to change your style of play for one player that isn’t very good.

It is a risk, no doubt about it. But they have their two forwards sidelined for a while and their next three games are Watford, Leeds and Everton. Three teams who are in their immediate vicinity and if they lose those three it would be incredibly difficult to avoid relegation which financially would be catastrophic.

It is most probably a very short term signing with the hope he scores goals to keep them up. After that he will either be a squad player or be moved on as Newcastle splash the cash again. I totally get why they have done it

What I find odd is that Newcastle looked like they are linked with only unknown players. Football players, in their definition, are money-grabbing mercenaries, can't understand why. Either they keep it super-secret, or they have a real problem on their hands.

I wonder if they have problems with clubs close to the cartels that refuse to talk with them, or even players.
We really got one of the most exciting players of that year, to be fair, in Robinho.

Odd.

They will be very limited in who will want to come at this stage as well with relegation a very real threat. European competition participation at this moment is a long long way off.

Win, win, lose - Newcastle, Woods, Burnley.
Woods is a good fit for where Newcastle are this season - avoid relegation.. Honest, grafter, focal point, good header, physicality, Trip to supply him, etc...
He will be marginalized next season when better players are brought in. He will not care as he will have filled his pockets at 31.
Good luck to him.

Don't disagree with this. I quite like Woods limited though he may be if given the service, he will thrive. Question will be can they play to his strengths and get players up and around him. Relegation will cost them a year but they will storm back as they will be able to keep what they have and also improve on it

City’s name has been included in the clubs trying to sign Rüdiger :lol: Literally just throwing our name in there to get himself more money!

Apparently, we're in a race to sign Haaland with Real Madrid.
I hope we don't get strung along next summer, with him deciding to go to Madrid and leaving us at square one, with no alternative.

Makes you wonder how we went from having four top strikers to half a one.

Haaland saying Dormund putting him under a lot of pressure to let them know what he is doing and therefore he has to sort things out quickly.

That would be good to kill all the crap talk about where he is going.

Erling Haaland puts Manchester United, City, Barcelona and Real Madrid on high alert after admitting Borussia Dortmund are 'pressuring' him to make a decision over his future very soon

His agent has already said he’s not going to United because they’re crap :lol: Daily Mail desperate to keep them relevant.

If that's the reason he's not going to United, you can rule out Barcelona and Real Madrid as well.

I think we should follow Dortmund and ask Haaland to decide if he wants to join or not. He clearly was not our main target if we tried to bring Kane in so let's not get into a bidding war we will not win and focus on other options.

I am a bit tired of this saga, to be honest, and it did not really start properly.

We should make an offer to Dortmund . Tell Haaland what we are prepared to pay in Salaries per week and , what image rights shares he should get and tell
Haaland and Dortmund they pay his father and agent what they want to. 50 Mill to Dortmund and 250k a week to Haarland . Not bad for someone who has never played in the PL . Remember Sancho played alongside Haaland these last two seasons - been rubbish so far in a rag shirt.
