+ Reece if needed. Seems like club has retained Hudson-Odoi for the wingback role

Newcastle are going to sign exciting Mexican prospect Santiago Munoz although the forward will go into the Academy squad when he arrives. The 19-year-old, who played for Santos Laguna in Liga MX, was spotted by chief scout Steve Nickson and is highly rated in South America. Born in the USA, he has represented Mexico at age group level and was their star player when they finished as runners up in the Under-17 World Cup in 2019. Life stranger than fiction.

Who though? If its not Saul on loan or Rice.

One thing that explains this is Tuchel wants Declan Rice in a year

A season of minutes would do good for Billy

Also El chiringuito should be barred as a source on this forum

That means Ethan Ampadu is staying on as 4th choice DM

1. previous squads were not as good as this 2. I prefer the policy of adding elite players or using in-house options. No real need to get into the market for a Lacroix or Sule.

they can negotiate yes but they can leave only at the end of the season - we are solid for another year.

Kounde was being signed because of the ambiguity over Rudiger's future. Wouldn't say its a hole in the squad that needs immediate filling. Can address this position next summer too when Kounde's value decreases

or stick with what we have - Rudiger, Silva, Chris, Azpi, Chalobah and Ampadu(?) is a good enough set of options at centre-back.

OK

partly because of his aerial ability and a few good-looking blocks/tackles

Callum hasn't got a loan playing regular minutes unlike Mount, James - partly because he was so good to begin with that they chucked him into the first team squad straight away. But he's now 3rd choice at RWB and 2nd/3rd choice for the winger position. We have the squad depth to loan him out + having Callum and Billy back with 2000+ minutes of football would be like new signings next season.

Robbed of the win by a ref who took two seconds to watch that goal line block. The refereeing was diabolical

Nice haul! What a turnaround for Jorgi from the first Sarri year and then Lampard benching him

🤦‍♂️

Mendy Tuchel Kante Jorgi win awards. Super! Oops wrong thread

that wave from Ngolo though XD

Some have rowed back on this

Yes - same - he's also left footed so we could have an attack with a lot of left footed players if Havertz - Ziyech - Lukaku are starting.

Don't mind it if City sign Ronaldo - would really compromise their pressing and movement

The Saul Niguez loan also tells me club want to keep the option of signing Declan Rice next year
