We're totally f**ked if he doesn't get replaced, with Donnarumma available if there's no reason to keep the faith in this guy.

Uninspiring dogsh*t from Maresca again. Does he realise he can play decent football in all competitions?

Solid Chelsea luck though that Eze and Guehi will probably be gone from palace in the next few days but held on long enough to play against us

Man, these lot didn't even give me one game to get my hopes up ffs.

Would have preferred Neto left and Estevao instead of Gittens but overall can't complain. 4-0 Chelsea

Surprised he's gotten this move so early given he didn't exactly pull up any trees at Ipswich in the prem. Good luck to him though and it's a nice financial boost for us.

At least I'm not forced to pay £174.50 per year for GB News to exist. The TV license is one of the most immoral and unnecessary taxes we have in the U.K. and the sooner it's abolished the better.

From a money aspect I don't care, that's for the club to sort out, but from a football fan point of view it's coming across as an absolutely amateur operation that we are now heading into another season without a front of shirt sponsor, no other prem team has this issue. Whoever is in charge of the sponsorship needs to be massively looked at, we are one of the biggest clubs in the world and this cowboy can't even get a front of shirt sponsor in time for the start of the season, it's pathetic.

They're no longer available unfortunately, Mars stopped making them in 2021.

Seeing as it's virtually unanimous nobody wants him here, much Jackson, perhaps we can turn this into the chocolate bar thread?

Bloke's a twat, his agent has been advising him so badly. Back in March he was giving press conferences about how much he loves Newcastle, the fans, the city etc and now he's just refusing to play for them.

I hope to be proven wrong but not going after a top CB worries me. Even if Colwill was fit I thought we needed a partner for him given Fofana can't be relied on. The other CBs we have are various degrees of average; one of Badiashile, Tosin and Chalobah shouldn't be a starter for a team trying to challenge for the top trophies, let alone two of them.

If we miss out on on him over a few million then we're idiotic. Just get the deal wrapped up and hope City got for Garnacho instead.

That's why he's short

It's a tough one with Jackson because the majority of us would agree he isn't very good so £70/80m sounds nuts but given how few strikers are available and the price some strikers have gone for recently the market is massively inflated. Hojlund, Ekitike and Sesko have all been signed for £70m+ recently and have they done anything to warrant being more highly rated than Jackson? I'm not sure. That being said, if we can get a £60m offer we should absolutely take it.

I think he means Arteta

Lovely penalty

Prawn cocktail crisp stigma needs to end, it's a very nice flavour.

I tried scampi fries for the first time a few weeks ago, they tasted nothing like I expected, pretty solid pub snack. If anyone is an Aldi shopper, an under the radar crisp are the steak and ale ones you can get from there.

Slag the owners and sporting directors off all you like, but when we compare it to the shambles of Man Utd it's pretty hilarious. Jackson joined us for £30m and Hojlund joined Man Utd £64m + £8m in add ons in the same season. Just 2 years later Jackson's value has doubled and Hojlund's value has halved.

Getting this thread started in advance. Like Friday's game, for UK viewers the match is live on Channel 5.

He plays like the player Madueke thinks he is.

Joao Pedroooo lovely finish and quality from Antwi

I feel like we finally have a team that nobody wants to play against for the first time in years.

That happens to Caicedo so much, great tackle and the ref gives a foul.
