The three relegated clubs with their parachute payments have all said they are keen to sign Ross McCormack. (Daily Mail)

Probably would kill any hope for us.

Newcastle are the only ones with the finance to do so at the moment so it's vital that we get our targets first

 

[Icy Gull]

Every single game Newcastle play will be a cup final for the opposition, Newcastle will need players who are up to a battle every game. Very few clubs WALK the Championship. Far too much respect and awe being given to the Toon by Albion fans imo

Doubt McCormack is a serious target of ours, wages alone would surely scupper any potential deal.

Newcastle have Adam Armstong up front don't they? They should give him a chance this year having scored a hatful for Coventry last year.

Au contraire The fat fecker will feck up there chances so all good

I don't get all this clamour for McCormack. Fulham haven't exactly recouped their ridiculous investment. Donkey.

Can't see us wanting McCormack. Big fee, big wages and 29, not the sort of signing we should be looking at really. Would be a good addition if we are promoted but an awful one if not, large outlay with little or no re-sell value...

Papers have nothing to write about at the moment so they make guesses and mke up stories and some people eat them up as if it were fact. I guarantee you that Rafa Benitez probably never even seen Ross Mc Cormack play 90 minutes of football live

I'll be really surprised if they finish 4 places above Leicester next season.
To be honest, I'll be equally surprised if they finish above us.
I don't get what's with the Newcastle Love in. They were shit bottle jobs last season, and have a squad full of overpaid wage cheque players. Add to that a shit owner and a manager that I believe will struggle with how different the Championship is.
Past performance is certainly not an indicator of future success.

It's not a love in. Benitez has agreed to stay on. To me this indicates that he will have sizable resources on hand. As much as they have a lot of deadwood at present, I'd say they've already got some pretty useful players too. Certainly for this level.

What I don't get is how a team playing in front of 50,000 on a regular basis got into this situation in the first place.
