Should be more than serviceable replacement for Wijnaldum.

Newcastle's climb back to the PL begins Friday. I find myself strangely excited for the season and have been pleased with the quality of players we've signed despite playing in the 2nd tier. The only thing I'm left hoping for at this point is that someone will take Sissoko off of our hands, hopefully even at a nice fee since he played decent in the Euros for the French.

Most importantly though, Rafa remaining as our coach has galvanized the fanbase. For the first time since I've followed Newcastle (admittedly, this is only my third season following them) the fanbase is excited and not a cesspool of pessimism and anger. And the rift between them and Mike Ashley (owner) has gotten significantly better. The Rafalution has begun.
I'm on f'n suicide watch. The Allams have completely destroyed the club. I don't know if it's even salvageable. We only have like 9 healthy outfield players right now. And we haven't added a single player so far. And Diame may be leaving, although we're going to offer him a new deal. But if he goes.....DAMN. He scored the game winner for promotion. Losing him would be a huge blow, both in terms of talent and symbolically. I saw something that said as it stands right now, Hull's odds of staying up this season are about the same as the odds of our Fox Overlords winning the title last season. That's absurd. It's beyound time for #AllamOut
