He cost us a goal with a woeful piece of anticipation and defending

I disagree , he was already marking a player and another Derby player who wasn’t marked and was already running at pace was able to nip in front of him.

northeastclaret

Made some great point blank saves , but would have hoped for better on at least the third goal.

Play best players

I'm enjoying it tbh. I live near Sunderland and they are so confident of staying up, it makes me feel slightly sorry for them. They have no idea how far behind the rest of the teams we are, it'll be a long season for them and Leeds. I live near Sunderland and totally agree with you , even before th...

If only things were so simple & straightforward. Unpopular opinions in the past have hounded people away from the board or in the very least prompted people to post less. I can think of plenty who have received unnecessary sh1t & disappeared. Unfortunately you are not one of those who have disappea...

You are right about VK ripping up the team , but the bigger mistake was largely replacing them with the wrong players unlike the way this window is looking.

I would also add that Trafford, CJ and Josh have also
played their part in ‘ripping the team up’ rightly or wrongly.

northeastclaret

I think we’re getting close to the realms of ripping up last seasons squad again, which was our downfall under VK. There’s a balance to be had. There’s no point ‘strengthening’ if we’re simultaneously destroying morale. No more signings for me now. Edit- unless of course there are significant out g...

Maybe we were still hanging on waiting for Josh to make his mind up and lost the chance ?

Surely a set piece coach is just implementing in training what the manager and senior coaching and defensive coaches require from set pieces. He will have input on ideas , but I would expect he just leads the repetitive training of the players regarding set pieces. I can’t believe VK and Parker woul...

northeastclaret

Staying or going ? This saga allegedly involving two of the richest clubs in the league is getting tedious.We need a quicker resolution so we can get a replacement and bed them into the team. You are totally right , they want a keeper who they believe is capable of being their number one for many y...

northeastclaret

It’s not about accepting the first offer it’s about setting an acceptable offer and saying if that’s not met he stays with us, maybe even a deadline date for that offer so we can get on with planning for the new season. Obviously that doesnt mean we would refuse the right offer eventually, but at le...

If I were a City fan I wouldn’t be thrilled swapping Ederson for Trafford, given his performances in the Premier League last time.

He has developed into a much better keeper in the last 12 months with obviously even more potential to get to the very top.

northeastclaret

Spoons breakfasts are always enjoyable and great value

northeastclaret

Regarding not seeing Trafford, are any of the keepers there at the moment?

Maybe they are training somewhere different initially?

northeastclaret

They can't know he's guilty they might suspect he is. We don't know for sure that he's guilty. It's our natural instinct to side with Hannibal as it is with Preston's with osmajic. The FA have to be seen to be doing something but in reality they have nothing to really go on. They have a hell of a l...

Difficult to believe we are in for him with the defenders we already have , must be Turkish press nonsense.

How a statement of absolute nonsense from a total attention seeker of poster who consistently posts negative nonsense,
got so many responses on this quote is beyond me.

northeastclaret

good. everyone's a winner. NUFC get England's best young keeper, Traff gets to play CL and we get to spend more cash on players! Sorry I don’t understand your logic, we will then be without a premier league level keeper , unless we going to gamble again throwing another rookie keeper into the fray ...

Now that it looks like Newcastle have agreed a fee with Forest for Elanga I wonder whether we will be any nearer finding out if Trafford goes there this week.

I think if he was going to go he would have gone by now. Great to see Trafford back at Gawthorpe today.

northeastclaret

I see Ruddy just signed for another year at Newcastle, with Pope supposedly saying he wants to battle it out for his place whatever, rather than leave. Wonder if they are cooling now on Trafford knowing they are not going to get him on the cheap? Also wasn’t it them that walked away from the deal la...

northeastclaret

Are you sure? Their football team plays in the England non league pyramid.

northeastclaret

That must be a first ? To sign a player who played in Englands last match ?

northeastclaret

Didn’t he play against us in that infamous play off final
against Sheffield United ?

northeastclaret

Such a shame , using the adage of practice makes perfect , after so many free kicks you finally cracked it and now you are off. Very disappointing.

northeastclaret

This going abroad somewhere warm, together with no premier league sides wanting to take him ‘free’as a starter or even squad player, sounds a bit like he hasn’t the confidence to make a difference in the premier league, so wants to try something different, a bit like CJR. Although CJR will hope to b...

Apologise for prolonging the JB speculation, but very surprised there isn’t any more very recent speculation on his potential destinations at this stage from the usual journalists that like to break this sort of news.

northeastclaret

I've said for ages offers should be timed retracted instead of buggering about not knowing if people are staying or going. I don't blame him from his point of viewing holding out to see if he can get a better offer elsewhere. I do blame him for not letting the club know sooner, particularly as club...

northeastclaret

The problem is not getting a fair price and Newcastle again taking advantage of it , so they can spend bigger money on other players. Being fair to a player must include getting a fair price.

northeastclaret

You’d think Trafford has expressed an interest in leaving otherwise I don’t think we’d entertain selling him now we’re in the prem. Shame. You could also probably assume that if Trafford hadn’t expressed his wish to leave for a team in the Champions League which improves his chances of an England p...

northeastclaret

But which outcome is more likely. The club have probably already agreed with him last summer too that if the offer comes this year we let him go. He came down. Stayed with us (when many weren’t sure about him anyway). Had a record breaking season. We can’t stand in his way. He deserves the chance o...

northeastclaret

I suppose the fee has been undermined by the so called ‘ gentleman’s agreement’ made last season with Trafford when he wanted to go to Newcastle then but we made him / persuaded him to stay one more season.

What weeping and wailing?

Exactly I am confident Parker can bring in three better players, no need to get upset about that.

northeastclaret

We've done good buisness so far but losing 2 of the key players from last season will be a blow. I think we'll get an adequate keeper but we're at risk of seeing another complete squad makeover which isn't really what I wanted. A lot of the team needed upgrading without having to replace your bette...

The main football reporter for NUFC is basically saying the Trafford deal is done.

Does it also include a pre contract agreement to sign Weiss on the cheap as well in two years when Trafford goes to City. Terrible business at that fee.

northeastclaret

I think he's been fairly transparent in respect of his contract. Has he? He said he would decide once the season was over, the team are back for preseason training very shortly. As captain of the club and a main dressing room leader , I think his conduct now is very shabby and we should expect more...

Hearing new reports that Brownhill is off... If true, Philip Billing is the obvious shout as a replacement, but wages/age etc might be a stumbling block there. Where too , do you think?. Obviously starting this early training session away from the club, he wouldn’t have been returning to the club f...

Brilliant news , outstanding against Millwall, disgusted by the odd fans who were critical off his contribution on the field.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Trafford has agreed terms with Newcastle and its a case of reaching an agreement on the fee now.

Trafford agreed terms 12 months ago , old news, hopefully what isnt agreed is that Newcastle get him on the cheap. Why should they?

northeastclaret

Quite shocking he is playing all these matches and they can’t afford him unless they sell. Doesn’t sound right and invited to the World Club championship as well , it’s not as if it’s a tinpot club or is it?

The worrying thing for me is Keane hasn’t been able to hold down a place in a pretty terrible Everton team.

Is he better than Tarkowski and Braithwaite? If not it’s irrelevant if the rest of the team are pretty terrible isnt it ?

northeastclaret

IMO I think CJR. is probably thinking he isnt good enough for the Premier League yet, and to be exposed next season , would not be in his best long term interests. I assume because it looks like no other premier league teams are willing to commit to start him next season , even though he is on a fre...

It could be seen as a good life decision. Strasbourg is a beautiful place, and you're near the German and Swiss borders. It's a great place to be in Europe in terms of location.

It is a lovely place but hopefully he will just be happy to go there on his holidays

northeastclaret

I would say there is some loyalty in the game , but it’s usually between a manager and a player. Which is created when the manager is honest and is trusted and players know where they stand. It’s clear Parker created better relationships with our players than VK did, which must be worth something. ...

northeastclaret

Totally agree. Some on here gripe about lack of loyalty, there is NO loyalty in today's game. It's a short career, the better players get one BIG contract, the elite possibly two. Keane, Tarky, McNeil, Wood left and doubled their weekly pay packet, wouldn't we all do the same? I would say there is ...

A sensible move for CJ , he obviously doesn’t believe he is good enough yet for the premier league, Parker may have even been involved in that discussion, so moves to a league between the Championship and Premier League in quality in the hope of eventually trying the PL in the future, probably bette...

I’ll be honest……….from my perspective…….football these days has nothing to do with loyalty other than the fans, us. CJ played well for us last season but hey ho, if he wants to go good luck to him, but don’t expect the red carpet if he ever returns as opposition. Creates an opportunity for someone ...
