Isak or Haaland who would you have.?
Isak's pace, elegance and controlled calm finishing along with his work ethic off the ball is a perfect match for Newcastle's current set up.

Haaland is an absolute beast of a striker, an out and out powerhouse, but you have to play to his attributes and I'm not sure he's the sort to roll up his sleeves and do the sort of work that isn't his natural forte.
 
After City got battered at the weekend by Arsenal, the crap flying around on social media since then aimed at City has been off the scale. Haaland hit the nail on the head when he said “stay humble”.
All of a sudden the internet is down in North London.
When will fans learn, nothing is won in February.
 
Not sure PSR allows you too

And he will be looking for a step up not down 😉😁

The daft thing about PSR is that the amount generated by the sale of a homegrown player frees up several times more in available funds for transfers. I read that, had Garnacho gone in this window for £60m, it freed up £180m for incoming players. Work that one out. Just need Rashford to channel his inner Messi for a couple of months and we’ll be quids in.

As for the second point, Amorim is going to have to learn how to sell “the project”. Especially if United are playing at Stoke on a wet Wednesday in November next season.
 
I think there is a lot of presumption going on around Isak. A lot is due to media stirring the pot (especially Sky Sports who often talk about Isak playing in the shirt of the opposition), in a world where "internet clicks" are more important than balanced reporting.

If we get any sort of European football next season then it will take a monstrous sum to lure Isak away....I dont believe that 100m will be anywhere near the mark...and should the buyer be a Premier League team then I'm betting there would be a "rival tax" that would further boost the fee.

Going to need some smart signings

Always think back to Klopps first big window

He got Mane and Wijnaldum and both turned into massive players for the club helping us get back into CL and then build from there

Summer will be massive for Amorin
 
Just watching Newcastle on the News this morning. Takes me back to when City won the FA Cup before we won the Title. The enormous enjoyment from fans who have not been to a final and won nowt in years is fantastic to see again.

Gordon’s response about “ Stay Humble”. Well it made me chuckle.
