Neto isn't lazy at all - his end product is hit and miss, then again so are most wide players - I don't want him, he's a bit if a sulker.

Barnes and Bowen would be the type of signings I'd expect us to make if MON was the manager

I saw the stupidest suggestion on TikTok - Ben White.

As if someone who doesn't like football, and doesn't do his homework is going to be a fit for a Unai Emery team.

I read Chelsea need to find £150m before the end of June so a strategic offer for one of their massive squad might be wise; and we are one of few clubs that might tempt the players. 

They’ve an abundance of CBs and wingers but identifying which are actually good is not easy.
Neto please
Neto is a lazy disruptive ******.

I'm really confused at him being labelled as 'lazy'. One of his attributes is being hard working, he always looks like he puts a shift in to me. It's his goals and assists that haven't been high enough.

10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions is very good, considering he’s only played 24 full matches. Neto would be perfect, but let’s be realistic — it’s never going to happen because he signed a 7-year contract.

That is a bit better than I thought. I like him whenever I have watched him.

Bernardo Silva and Oscar Mingueza on Free transfers would be superb bits of business.

Silva is most likely heading to Spain to either, Atletico, Barca or Madrid. It will happen before teams head out for the World Cup.

I've just read that Everton are throwing money at Mingueza. He'd be a fool to go there. A rich fool but still a fool.

Theres been a lot of noise for a fair amount of time about that young Danish forward at Newcastle. Bit of a rough diamond it seems. If we went down that route, it hints at Tammy going maybe.

We would have signed Osula last summer, except the sale of Ramsey to them made it look like a swap deal under UEFA rules.

I think we've probably missed out, as he looks to be ahead of Woltemade and Wissa.

Love these rules where we can't buy and sell to a rival Premier League club, but Man City and Chelsea can do it with their B teams.

The annual quest for an understudy to Matty Cash begins soon.

I'm sure I read recently that Barnes had played more minutes than anyone for Newcastle this season, so the bit part player suggested further up doesn't really hold weight.

Barnes played in the most premier league matches but only started 19 of his 37. Thiaw played slightly over 50% more minutes.

Despite we've had two young right backs that have failed, with Cash playing as he is, we need to emulate Brighton/Bournemouth/Brentford and find a young rightback and develop them.
If we keep paying top dollar to the Bs, they will replace us in the CL.

You can sign players whenever you want, it’s more about when they can be registered.

His goal scoring stats for Leicester were good in the Pl and 21 in only 46 starts for Newcastle and 6 CL goals last year.He would be a useful addition but probably we would get a younger talented winger from Spain for a similar fee.

This is what it feels like isn’t it, supporting a team that actually _does things_. Actually looking forward to a new season.
