With the world cup going on I’ve gotten big into football and I’ve decided to support Newcastle (honestly at random)! Happy to be here and look forward to supporting the lads!

And the announcers on Telemundo are saying things like "enorme" LOL

The chat about Bruno has totally changed here in Brazil over recent weeks. His performances in the WC are attracting a lot of attention and a lot of praise. Believe it or not, despite having many caps for Brazil already, he was still largely unknown by the general Brazilian population prior to the WC starting. I know that Brazil's love of a player has little to do with the pricing of a player in the British transfer market, but I do think it is quite telling that people are starting to take notice. The deeper Brazil go in this competition, the more likely I think it will be that we will lose Bruno.

What do you guys think? Do you think we will be able to keep him, especially now that Tonali has gone?

Manchester City are giving genuine consideration to signing Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, as well as Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest.

The Athletic reported on Tuesday that Tottenham have held productive talks with Tonali’s camp and want to make the Italian their major signing this summer, but face serious competition from City, who have continued to track the player.

City’s interest in Tonali, 26, does not affect their plans to sign Anderson and they remain in talks with Nottingham Forest about a potential British record transfer.

Signing both midfielders, for what would likely be a combined cost of over £200million ($268m), comes with City seeking to build a side for Enzo Maresca, Pep Guardiola’s successor, that can challenge for next season’s Premier League title.

So question for you guys….

The 100 million transfer of Tonali to Spurs is the second time we have sold a player for 100 million plus.

The first being Isak.

We could even potentially have had Anderson in there had there not been all the shenanigans.

So my question is are we a unicorn in this respect and are we the only club with multiples of 100 million plus sales like this?

Edit - talking among Premierleague clubs.

For context talking 100 million pounds and above mark which Tonali should in theory just hit.

The only 5 clubs in prem to have paid such a fee are incidentally all the septic 6 other than Manure.

Guess we’ll be considered by them a “big club” when we do this, although the Shearer fee when adjusted for inflation is still the biggest to this day I believe.

What are the feelings around a new or improved stadium?

Bigger capacity to 65,000ish?

Would we fill it given the ticketing shenanigans at St James'?

Do we aim for gigs and NFL?

If we rely solely on our local fanbase, can we compete with Spurs, Arsenal and the Manchester clubs?

Ive not looked but what do Everton have planned for their new ground?

hey lads,

many reports say that our scouting department have switched towards buying young successors as we seen with jaouen and toure. what do you guys think this means long term and can the brighton, brentford mode work out?

hoenst opinion:

think if we follow this model we will have a slow season but eddie isn't notourious on building young players but maybe a different approach can help the team long term.
