So to summarise, by my calculations we have spent £206m and recuperated £38m from player sales.

The difference in quality from the players we have brought in to the ones we have let go is staggering. We have trimmed the squad and replaced quantity with quality.

Add Alexis and a left footed defender who can cover centre half and left back and we will have one of the best squads in world football. The perfect blend of youth and experience, athleticism and ball playing capability.

Good post mate, interesting to see it all laid out like that. You're right about the difference in quality between incoming and outgoing players.

The squad looks incredibly strong, although I do have slight concerns about how we will line up against the top few teams though, Spurs pressed us all over White Hart Lane last year and we couldn't handle it, Chelsea sat back and we couldn't break them down and we struggled against Liverpool too. Arsenal and the rags we should have taken 6 points from, but with improved quality going forward hopefully that will be different this year.

I just hope Pep does mix things up against the top teams, as Silva, De Bruyne and one other midfielder isn't the most physical of midfields... even if it is brilliant going forward.

Another reason I have heard is that Newcastle isn't that well served by an airport, Manchester has a hub airport. It helps with foreign players knowing they can't get home easily. Newcastle is almost always 2 stops. It means that the North East isn't as much of a draw for players.

and the fact its an absolute shithole

I think Eastlands area had been abandoned by the gov the council and the carcinogenic industry that left it in its dangerous condition.
The area was worse than a Sh hole it was desolate and a remnant of previous occupation by industries forced by H and S regs to move elsewhere in the world.

Our owner has worked wonders to reclaim this area and credit to the council they have fully embraced his plans.

Just a few pieces to fit in the jigsaw.
What a squad.
The triangles Walker-De Bruyne-Sterling and Mendy-D Silva-Sane are going to be awesome.
