£35m in total for a player with 12 senior appearances is mental.
Personally i think that'll prove to be a very good deal for Newcastle. He's clearly a very good talent, still only 18 and has already played for England U21s.
The sort of signing where if it works, he'll be their left back for the next decade. A good season for Newcastle and he could even be an outside bet for the Euro's squad.
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean failed to intervene on a major Var call because he didn’t want to cause his friend Anthony Taylor any ‘grief’, he has revealed.
In a remarkably candid admission, Dean said he made the “pathetic” call at the climax of the 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Chelsea last August.
Cristian Romero pulled Marc Cucurella’s hair seconds before Harry Kane’s 96th minute equaliser, and Dean acknowledged that in the heat of the moment he made a bad choice not to suggest on-field official Taylor consider a sending off offence.
“I missed the stupid hair pull at Chelsea versus Tottenham which was pathetic from my point of view,” Dean told Up Front with Simon Jordan.
“It’s one of them where if I had my time again, what would I do? I’d send Anthony [Taylor] to the screen. I think I knew if I did send him to the screen … he’s cautioned both managers, he’s had a hell of a game, it’s been such a tough game end to end.
“I said to Anthony afterwards: ‘I just didn’t want to send you to the screen after what has gone on in the game’. I didn’t want to send him up because he is a mate as well as a referee and I think I didn’t want to send him up because I didn’t want any more grief than he already had.
Currently 4 former Addicks on the pitch, three of whom played together in our Championship relegation season weirdly. Could be a 5th if Burstow gets on. Mad that some of these were all getting tonked in the same Bowyer team just a few years ago

Will 5 old boys be the record this season?
I think so, who else is there?
Randolph at Bournemouth Pope at Newcastle JBG and Cullen at Burnley Gomez at Liverpool Doughty and Lockyer at Luton Maatsen, Gallagher and Burstow at Chelsea

Luton have played surprisingly well so far. Cue the collapse.
I think they'll struggle to pick up many points on the road. But at home with the crowd tight to the pitch, i think they'll give a few teams a good game. At home to West Ham next friday night, i wouldn't be surprised if they got a result.
Overall though i think them and Sheff Utd will both struggle to even get 25 points this season. Realistically can't see beyond those 2 + 1 other going down.
I assumed the thread was about players that had left the club.
Or more specifically it was about ex Charlton players now playing in the Premier League, so unless Leaburn signs for someone in the next 7 days he doesn't count. Play 5221 instead with JRS and JBG on the wings

These are the sorts of referees dealing with VAR.
It was for them.
Cue the collapse.
Randolph at Bournemouth
Pope at Newcastle
JBG and Cullen at Burnley
Gomez at Liverpool
Doughty and Lockyer at Luton
Maatsen, Gallagher and Burstow at Chelsea
Pope
Maatsen Gomez Konsa. Lockyer Doughty
Cullen. Gallagher
JBG
Burstow. Leaburn
Relying on Gomez to be a regular anymore seems unlikely too.
I don't believe he has. Why do you ask?
Maybe but it wouldn't be 15th in L1. 😃
