Two terrific free signings if we get them, especially Tosin, he's a jewel, he would shine in our team imo, no weaknesses, and playing in our team compared to Fulham will bring him on no end. Exciting.
If you want to keep Bruno happy first start the game with big Joe along side him, Bruno to me starts the game sort of slowly and comes into it gradually the more confident he feels about how solid we are,: trust in the players around you, which is why in the summer window I would bust the bank to get Luis Paquetta, best mates and all that but I think he has an understanding and a type of synchronicity with him, this would allow him the freedom to be at his absolute best.
Lescells is 1 year left out for 9 months. Botman 9 months, 2 old boys are out of contract, that leaves burn and Scar, Scars been injured a lot. We need both def!!! 12:07
Schar gets injured every game and then realizes he delayed as much as he can and gets back up. In a serious vein, overall his injury record is pretty good.
The 2 free incomings will be a positive for future transfer windows also financially with our FFP allowance. Also we need to rotate to reduce injuries.
Would be nice to get them in 👍 Tosin is a replacement for Schär and Kelly will be the solid defender that can do Lascelles job! It's a non brainer ! Us the money to get Olise in as quick as possible! Will improve us massively!
in my opinion we should try and get half a dozen free transfers in and a few proper transfers, purely and simply to get extra quality in, the squad is simply not good enough or big enough to compete on multiple fronts, and thats OK! But with all the rule changes and such, we are not able to buy like the old squads could, and so a few injuries at key times have cost us heavily.
I think free signings might be the way to go for a couple of seasons. I wanted Wilfred Zaha on free last season on a free. Hopefully, we will keep Gordon and Bruno.
I think bruno will stay he loves newcastle and i think he enjoys being the main man, make him captain if tripper leaves or retires in next 1 to 2 years give him more money do whatever to keep him here we need to build around him
Lacelles injured and although loved he’s just not good enough. Botman injured. Dummet not good enough. Trips 33, Schar and Burn both 32. The two free transfers would defo be welcomed but more is needed HWTL
Kelly is being bought as a LB, not a CB. He CAN cover there but Howe will 💯 use Kelly LB like he used Burn. He’s far more pacey and dynamic than Burn. Better 1v1 defender as well
Our back four is seriously lacking. New, healthy, youngish (27 or under ideally) talent would be a must-have for the summer window. Dream signings (not possible due to FFP obviously) would be one or more of Alfonso Davies, Antonio Silva, Jurrien Timber, Nuno Mendes, Benoit Badiashile. We cannot get by with the old guard. Botman and Lascelles should be on rotation. Schar as well. Love the big man Dan Burn, but he shouldn't be on every match either. If properly utilized, having a surplus of backs is certainly not a bad thing. There are so many what-ids heading into the summer though. First things first, let's get the lads to secure European football! That alone is a selling point for bringing in new talent as you say.
Dummett, RItchie and Karius contracts expire end of the season. Time to move on Frazer, Lewis, Gillespie, Kraft and Lascelles who expire in 2025. We're going to need more quality in depth just to replace the outgoing players we'll be losing this and next season, so i think we're going to have to be a bit more frugle unless we can do something with the new FFP rules...

Getting fed up with all the roumers around Isak, Bruno and now Gordon, so called big clubs thinking we would sell our best players. Time the club put all this to bed by making a statement that we are NOT going to sell our best players this summer.
What is the point in these 2 signings... Neither are next level quality.. Gonna cost a fortune in wages.. Botman schar lascelles burn murphy krafth... Plus these 2...
