You’d hope it’s a decent fee on the buy back tho. Maybe £25-30 million? Might be wishful thinking but would also hope we’d be able to re-negotiate and ‘buy it out’ too if things go well. Utd seem to only want box office players, so unlikely they’d have him back even if he does do well here. I could be talking utter bollox tho

Don’t know a lot about Garner but for £15 million it’s got to be a no brainier. Gibbs-White did well in EFL and was staggeringly expensive. This kid also did well in EFL and appears remarkably cheap in comparison. Signings so far have been of a certain mould and character. Really happy with this. Exciting times ahead (and by that I mean mid-table) but I’ll take that this season for sure.

After a poor start to 2nd half, we then dug in and grafted. Stick a striker In there to retain the ball and give a goal threat too, and we we’ll be sound this year. Haters gonna hate and I’m sure the media will try and bury FL

Can’t doubt the lads application. Every player has put a proper shift in

The classic ‘fall to anyone but a right back’ moment

Fuck my life, we get no luck

Retain the ball like this at the weekend and we get obliterated.

Can’t say it wasn’t coming. Awful start to the half. No ball retention up top. Wave after wave of attack

Better than Gomes, Davies, Gbamin. Even the few flashes he’s had at Chelsea, and then briefly at Villa, are more than those 3 combined. Game of opinions though isn’t it

Better than what we’ve got, and who knows, may even come fired up with a point to prove. I’d take the risk

Newcastle No1 striker gets injured last week. This week they replace / upgrade. Who knows when negotiations first started tho. Maybe they were planning on getting him before the injury to Wilson Everton No1 striker gets injured 5 weeks ago We still haven’t replaced / upgraded / plugged the gap *delete as appropriate* We (apparently) finally identify said player from the same FA / League and seems to take longer, with what you would assume, has less stumbling blocks in terms of registration, rules etc But as I’m not privy to said transfer dealings, I obviously don’t have a point

‘privy to Newcastles dealings’ ……… brilliant Missed the point but never mind

Looks that way doesn’t it. Barcodes get Isak signed sealed and delivered from Spain ……… we seemingly can’t get one done from 200 miles away Hopefully something announced with the shirt holding photo ?? Even tho he’s not the signing I wanted, I’ll still support him, and we need him for tomorrow …….. desperately

Agreed. Such a shame to see how far he’s fallen. Massive talent, and lots of factors contributing to where he is now. Maybe being so far removed from the shitstorm that’s is daily life in the EPL will help him get his head straight / career back on track etc Really thought he was going to be a good signing for us

Forget underwhelmed, I’ll be flat out disappointed. Poor signing. I stand to be proven wrong, but don’t think I will be

What the actual fuck? Maupay, Adams and now Almiron?!?!? Uuggghh. Really hope these links aren’t true

Frustrating to watch but you can see he does have the ability to do something special. Doing it consistently is the problem. He's lightning quick, very skilful, would like him to be more direct. Head down, and attack the defender every time. Seems to cut in a lot into traffic.

Agreed. We were better for Rondon being in the team as on a couple of occasions we were able to play up to and off of him. Stick a mobile striker up there and that changes the dynamic of the team. Without the focal point of a proper striker we look utterly abject up there tho. The other front 3 don’t make enough good choices for me and that means there’s no pressure relieving. Their goal came from a poor pass up top, they then camped around our box and scored. We seem to go 100 mph, never pile much pressure on and lose the ball quickly. At least we came from behind to get a result. Not saying a point is good, but not totally bad either.

Utterly pathetic. the so called front 3’s decision making is abysmal. had a chance of a break so many times and played a shite pass and gave ball away they camp around our box and score. great finish, but fuck me this is bad.

Gray and Gordon trying to do too much every time. Rondon has at least given us a kind of focal point at times. Shape not working for me. Genuine 5-3-2 would give us more control. Gray and Gordon making it more a 5-4-1 Onana for Gray I’d go further and get Dele off of Rondon so drag Gordon off too.

I’d keep him, still a decent player. Would play him in a 3 and reckon he’d be solid enough.

Crazy money! £40 million for a player (instalments or not) who couldn’t get a game in PL so was loaned to EFL last season. Wish someone would offer that for Simms et al !!!

Looks like we might have to doesn’t it. I want him back, but we were hoping to have him before Chelsea as it ‘was close’ ……. It’s now the 3rd game of the season and he’s still not signed

Yeah, that’s the worry if his heads been turned. Hopefully not the case tho.

Don’t want him to leave, as when played in favoured position he’s a threat, and will only improve. That said, Chelsea are throwing money around so if they really want him, let’s see how high they’ll go. The Brighton left-back as a case in point. We’ve constantly been screwed by teams in the past, so let’s do it ourselves. £65 million? £75 million? If they say No, then happy days. if they say Yes, that could fund 2/3 players Win win situation
