Jota Silva would have been more effective and scored more than some of the forwards this season? He's one of the few players we have/ had who can finish well.
In case you weren't aware, he's on loan at Besiktas.
Cuiabano (also on loan in Brazil until January) might have been handy as well.

Kane wouldn't score with our midfield.
28 Oct 2025 20:25:14
Cyclist aina has been a HUGE miss for me, think there's only balloons agreed with me one of our very best players.
28 Oct 2025 20:38:29
And never a truer word spoken balloons
Midfield is the problem, the partnership of Anderson and MGW has to be broken up or we won't change that imo
One dominates and keeps his place the other a liability atm and to lightweight for a dyche scrap.

He definitely is mate.
Lighting quick, massive miss.
28 Oct 2025 21:23:16
Elanga is the real miss look at his goals and assists and lightening pace
All gone
He was our outlet and made space fior our midfield and wood thrived of it
Jesus would have scored hatfuls playing alongside him.

Note Elanga is not in Newcastle first 11. Took get 50 M for him was a good deal.
28 Oct 2025 23:16:26
Really?
29 Oct 2025 08:12:29
Elanga wanted to go couldn't wait to leave good riddance.
29 Oct 2025 10:20:21
Elanga ?? yes massive miss so massive he can't get into the Newcastle first 11 regularly. 50 million well gained. just a shame edu wasted it on worse players living the forest dream.

Never heard any attempt to keep AE, not the finished article but fundamental to our style last season.
He was disappointed not to have started at Wembley, mistake to me.
29 Oct 2025 14:21:57
Yes, Cyclist I would have kept Jota and I said so pre season. Ironically he is a Dyche type player, a grafter who always plays with intensity plus he takes it to the opposition, like Yates, winds them up mate.
29 Oct 2025 17:34:53
Far more committed than current wingers, maybe not so talented but all action.
Heard him being interviewed, Whatever and when ever the manager tells me what to do I give it all!
Don’t see that in the latest incumbents.
29 Oct 2025 22:30:53
Yes, can't do anything but agree with Stokey and carlo, Jota was a good player to have when the chips are down and a solid finisher with bottle.
I don't think keeping Elanga was even on the cards, though. He was having a love in with his Newcastle buddies for ages on social media for everyone to see. His heart wasn't with Forest any more. Never keep a player who wants out.

Also agree that Aina has been missed. He wasn't firing before his injury but he is a skilful player and is experienced. Nuno was right about full back cover.
30 Oct 2025 10:33:58
We could do with Elanga in the side at the moment considering he got 11 goals and 20 assists in 74 league matches for us. Not too shabby when compared to what we are producing at the minute.
30 Oct 2025 15:24:07
Elanga also caused a problem for the opposition coach's tactics trying to contain him, freeing up players and creating space.
