I’d be surprised if Ortega would join us permanently. A loan maybe. But wages would be significant, and it’s a fair drop down for him. He won’t be short of options, I wouldn’t have thought.

It’s a shame Alex Crook and Ben Jacob’s are the ones reporting Ortega because the pair of them don’t now their arse from their elbow

It’s worth mentioning that it is a World Cup year and players may consider clubs they otherwise may not consider just because they’re guaranteed starts. He is 32, so he may want to solidify his place in the German team maybe. Also, we have Kyle Walker, and maybe he could have seen him come to us and that could be enough for him to consider us.

If buts and maybes but this window anything can happen.

Agree with all of this and no doubt Walker will have an influence if he signs.

£55k a week apparently. Doable.

This site could definitely benefit from some AI to weed out the crap and get to the point on some threads.

This site is about a decade old and would have about 11 posts left if we got AI to wipe away the shitposting, mine would be amongst the first to go.

Our season was based on the back 5 inc gk all potentially may not start next season seems like a crazy concept

I think it was as much about the system and the way we lined up.

Romano has reported Trafford to City is the reason why the Newcastle deal hasn’t finalised. Sounds like he’s definitely going.
If he leaves, which he probably will I really really really hope he goes back to city. Up yours Newcastle.

Agree. And if those Oscar Bobb rumours are true, it could help there?

Progress is being made with jakub being in favour of diversity.

Next steps equality and inclusivity.
Be better if he could get some self-awareness! :D

I thought City might come back in for him given all the noise around Ederson…. Newcastle fans will be in bits! Haha!!

I have been saying this since he arrived. JT has always known where he was going, Newcastle have just been a fly in the ointment, and Ederson was holding up the whole deal.

It was a PSR deal and a development deal. We are well placed with both sides of Manchester when it’s comes to the youth players developing out on loan/buy backs.

We might even get Ortega in return.

I actually hope this is true.

Not a bad situation for us.
