Newcastle (A) 2/3: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tony Towner]

Could have been loan with obligation. Likely less than £1m in wages. But of course it wasn’t possible to spend £1m and get that deal done

Wrong thread but we bid £15m for Dia after all our other Summer deals had been sorted. There wasn't any reporting that it was a loan with an obligation just a straight deal for this season. 4 year contract so about £6m extra committed to this season once wages are factored in, all of which has been chucked in Jonnys direction...if you believe in fairy stories

Or he has a slight knock

Is a slight knock different from what I said?

Edit - actual question, I realize this might have sounded sarcastic lol

Depends just hope it’s a big one

 

[Jinky]

Semedo literally jumping out of a tackle with Dan Burn there.

 

[Mel Evo]

West Ham, Brighton and Chelsea not having a great day either.

 

[t3ch]

Toti wow, nice save

 

[Jinky]

Unbelievable from Toti.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Burn doing what Neto should've done first half.

 

[The Bear]

Going 4 at the back.

Hugo on for Toti. RAN pushed up wide left I assume.

 

[Squeak]

Seems we're content to experiment in this game now. C'est la vie.

 

[The Bear]

I'd give Lemina and Okuduwa a go too. Sod it. Let's have a look at them.

 

[The Bear]

Still not a single shot on target for us yet.

 

[EdgeOfTheAlps]

Meh, 9-13th makes no difference really. We opted not to think about ECL football in January.

That's about 8M isn't it, which considering we're shitting the bed about FFP to the tune of much less I'd argue each place is pretty important

£1.8m per place after player bonuses are subtracted.

 

[Del Woppio]

I definitely want another look Chirewa too, if for nothing else but to see if that cameo a few weeks ago where he looked slower than Gary Breen was just a glitch in the matrix

 

[Jinky]

Still not a single shot on target for us yet.

Yeah, it’s shite. Way off the level we need to be, but I suppose given the 11 players on the pitch, it’s hardly surprising.

 

[t3ch]

Not a bad try from Fraser, got a good rebound, unfortunately no one close enough to get on it

 

[The Bear]

Good effort Fraser. One on target at least.

 

[Jinky]

Finally a shot on target! Fraser. Nice counter.

 

[t3ch]

Ahhhh sarabia. Not a bad chance, decent save
