I am torn on this one. Given the calibre of our usual reveals then yeah, 100%. If we dropped some comedy gold like whoever - Burnley? - did the Pennywise one the other day then I'd happily give them a week to get the production bang on.
The thing that gets my goat these days,is they spend the whole day doing a stupid announcement video,that absolutely no one could care less about.
Take a picture of him in the kit,put it on the website...job done.
Middle aged gripe here - the video is always the same these days too.
Mad camera angles, drum and b-arse music over it with colourful flashing graphics that’d give an epileptic the time of their life.

We'll buy at least 4 players that cost over £15m in my opinion (Barry included). It's all about how the payments are spread - on 2 counts. Amortisation for PSR and cashflow for us.

Would be very much in favor if it was a low fee and short contract, but realistically that isn’t happening. Would be a very bad idea to pay a high transfer fee for someone with his profile. I understand us asking the question, though.
McAtee, a pacy goalscoring winger and Douglas Luiz please.
Then a competent right back, some left back cover and someone like Fabianski as goalkeeper cover.
Job done.
Barry £27.5mil & McAtee £25mil would be £52.5mil and if rumours on fees and budgets are true, about half our transfer budget.
Who would be happy with that?

Bruno Guimaraes (Vital for Newcastle & captain. Vital for Brazil and...
A goal involvement every 114 minutes in the league last season. Some great strikes too and top class set piece delivery. His left foot is magic. Really useful player to have in the squad.
