I like the pure banter of this deal, and it could be a useful one for the future, though I am still a bit bemused by the fact that we're going for midfielders and not defenders lol
I think Dixon was still on Luton's pay roll when he appeared in out first eleven, because he hopeless to put it politely!
After all that he is staying at Newcastle.. Agent probably managed to get a few more quid out of them. https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1297081171818491904
One of this players that I'd heard of but no idea what kind of player he is. Looks energetic, a good passer and most important of all, he scored a direct free kick once. Get him in.
**** knows if it's happening, but I do get the feeling it's a more exciting deal than Gosling. At least he's someone we've been in for before and not exactly a panic deal. Would he get into our best XI? **** knows...
Is he better than Gosling? Rarely ever kicks a ball for Newcastle and has very inexperienced. I’d rather have Gosling. And I don’t want Gosling. We need to be looking at better than these names.
I wouldn't be against this. Has looked okay for Newcastle & he's only young. Should do a job in the Championship.
No, it wasn't a formal thing. We just retired the art of scoring free kicks when Lord Almen of Abdi left, similar to how other clubs retire shirt numbers.
A poor mans Sililki, but I've liked what I've seen of him and think he would add a bit of composure and dynamism to our midfield. In the highlight video above he seems to be sitting quite deep, but I have seen him play well in a more advanced midfield role. A loan with an option to buy would be nice bit of business.
So yes, entirely dependent on random moves by Newcastle: Solid strategising, as ever. Wonder who's the next one down on the famed Pozzo positional scouting list?
"Alright lads, how you lot doing down there? We should definitely all go for a drink, have a catch up, when all this covid rubbish is over! Ta ra."
Same guy Steve Bruce laid into last season ? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....eicester-bruce-choudhury-ritchie-16838333.amp https://365soccernews.com/newcastle...tackle-could-have-ended-matt-ritchies-career/
The chief reporter for NUFC their local paper (The Chronicle) now saying we are after the other Longstaff brother but he wants to stay. NUFC would let him go if they sign Choudhury - but he also says we have enquired directly about Choudhury ourselves on loan should we sell Chalobah to Leicester, cutting Newcastle out.
If we can't get Sean or Matty, maybe we could get his sister Sarah. I'm sure if we try hard enough we could get someone from the Longstaff family to join.
Apparently he wants to stay and fight for his place ? https://mobile.twitter.com/ChronicleNUFC/status/1355911875922448386
I know Sarah Longbottom,former Yorkshire county player and head of tennis at a Millfield. Shall I ask her?
