Al-Sandcastle - the sportswashing barcodes

Yes, but he may not have been open to a move to Newcastle until now. Early summer he may have been thinking Bayern or one of the other bigger clubs may come in for him.

Conversations may have been different, but it’s been floated since Im sure as long ago as before last season ended that Bayern were more interested in waiting a year and getting him on a free next summer.

Newcastle looking for the novel big man-bigger man tandem.

It’s so Howe can chain tactical instructions all the way up to an elevation where Dan Burn can hear them.

It’s his 4D chess.

Wasn’t the news breaking last night that Larsen was no longer a target as he was too similar and that the other guy from Brentford would be brought in?

Well not one of them reported the guy who is the greatest striker of all time (even though they have never seen him play) would be signing for them.

Wissa to come on and get a yellow card to cover Callum Wilson’s output.

Hope Howe is expecting him to be a bully like Burn or Joelinton because he’s not. At the moment he’s probably one of the best to back into defenders and shield the ball in transition but Woltemade is more of a funny/nice guy.

He signed for Stuttgart last year and did not play much in the first half of the season. Unlike Wirtz he really had only Bayern on his mind. The last of their three bids was around €60m including bonuses. Can understand why they walked away.

I think Newcastle see something in him that he’s not. That skill and agility package minus 15cm and he would be a bang average player.

This might be related to Wissa, but from what I heard yesterday, Dortmund has no intention to sell Maxi. Maybe that offer would change it.

Edit

Thinking about it… Maybe Newcastle should just switch to buy Maxi Beier to get Nick a friend :joy:

Weren’t we interested in him before? Or am I confusing that?

Brentford have said ā€œhold my beierā€.

In fact that almost works in German.

Problem for Newcastle is the world and his dog has seen their ready made replacement for Isak. They can delay no longer really.

They will also have to shift Isak before the window shuts especially if they buy one of these.

Rumors about Newcastle getting Frattesi (on loan?) from Inter. Not a bad deal for Howe if it’s true. He’s different from the midfielders they currently have

I can’t see through it anymore either, but nobody there seems to care about yesterday’s chatter. Opinions seem to change not just daily, but hourly these days.
