Declan Rice

just providing context of our ownership structure for fans who are taken aback by our spending habits and capacity for big contracts.

Over the last 5 years youve spent double what we have on transfer dealings. Not got you very far and having blown it last season you’ll find it very hard next. Very hard

But it's irrelevant. Newcastle are now owned by a Saudi who's one of the richest men on the planet but they still can't buy whoever they like. You'd be in a better position if you'd won a bit more prize money last season.

Or maybe not dished out letters with your teams letterhead on top

The Walton family are the richest family in the world that are not royalty.

Well, why do they live in a cabin in the woods ?

Surely stones a CH stepping into CM is the same as rice a CM stepping into CH if needed?

No, the first is stepping stone.

I’m torn about Phillips. He got the square root of zero in terms of minutes and heard Pep fell out with him over returning back from the World Cup overweight. But looking at the behind the scenes footage of celebrations, he seems part of the squad in every other way. It wouldn’t be the first time a Pep signing blossomed in season 2 after disappointing in season 1 but it would certainly be the biggest turnaround of them all.

Yeah agree totally buddy, I’d love to be proven wrong an lad I know he’s had his injuries, but whenever he’s been in the side he looks like a rabbit in the headlights, I’ve not even really seen glimpses of a ‘Pep player’.

I’d like Rice here but I’m certainly not going to lose any sleep if he goes elsewhere (same with Bellingham).

Looks like Bernardo is off but that Gundo will stay, I’d love to add Lavia into the mix with Kovacic.

Rodri
Lavia
Kovacic
Gundogan
KDB

Looks good to me. Phillips more than welcome to stay and fight but can’t see it and think he’ll be off.

It’s got everything that midfield and plenty of options for rotation too.

Lavia is off to Chelsea or Arsenal

Phillips performance with the mic at the parade opened my eyes to what an integral part of the squad he is

It’s probably the highlight of his first 12 months to be fair - think we all enjoyed that

 

[Stoned Rose]

Who ?

Exactly Chi mate.

It’ll be some fat 45 year old version of Trev from Grange Hill on the wum.

Humbled, dont undo all my good work in being able to post on here as an Arsenal fan without getting the Adebayor celebration gif in 3/4 of the replies to me!

Took years to earn some trust on here lol!
