Jordan Willis (centre back) has just left Sunderland to peruse a move to a new club. Would be a superb signing for us. How can any player who hasn't played one single game of football for 2 years be a superb signing? We need players who can hitting the ground running not rehab cases.

See Newcastle may be open to let Billy Elliot out on loan to get more game time …..likely destination would probably be championship but I know we’ll throw our hat in the ring and we might have a sniff as they were so impressed with his development and how we treated him last time, he’d be a guaranteed starter, the relationship he has with JB and the fans, it’s a step up from last year and Anderson loved it with us…, not holding my breath but we can hope,,,,,,

He may feel he doesnt want to go backwards tho. A birmingham or preston more likely for me Imagine the excitement if he did tho!

Our fanbase needs a reality check if they think a regular member of a top 4 prem matchday squad is going to drop two divisions.

Eddie Howe confirmed he is not being loaned anywhere as is part of his plans (also hinted BRFC had approx a 1% chance should a loan have been on the table )

Plymouth fans seem to be confident they are signing Matete and Morrison, and less so Twine . They must really want to get to Wembley in the tinpot trophy. They may have to do another open day to meet the players

At the end of his career people (apart from gasheads) won’t even notice he played a part in lower league promotion(s). They will talk about x number of prem appearances, x number of international appearances, cups and top flight titles.

Totally understand the blatant snobbery that exists in football, I waited for 15 minutes for Gary Neville to talk about Japan after they had beat Spain, between him and Keane they spent 15 minutes talking about Spains demise, at the end Neville said well done Japan. I was referring to Elliot looking back on his own personal achievements and nothing to do with how other people view his record, double promotion winning squad player is both rare and special at any level IMO.

I am sure Elliot will look back on his time with BRFC with fondness, tbh imo, while I would love to see Elliot once again wearing the quarters, he is so good, why would Howe not keep him in his premiership match day squad ?

Good luck Trev, unlucky not to get more of a run, but injury, ill discipline and upsetting JB for a bit meant you never got a real go at the Gas

Always looked lively when called upon.

So now we need 1 solid LB and 1 LWB in my opinion. And pretty soon, if Gordon is injured we are struggling!

I agree with you, nothing wrong with a bit of day dreaming though, and my daily medicine makes me do a lot of that! I follow the Geordie forum and the thread about Elliott and seems he is champ bound. With newcastle having a bottomless pit of money I'm sure EH will be considering plenty of options and 'names'. Billy will come good somewhere, would like to see him banging them in for Newcastle, time will tell. Have to say the thread about Elliot on Newcastle Online shows so much class from their fans, they were loving his success last season and wishing our club the best with plenty of compliments and no looking down noses as Manu fans and such would tend to do.
