They've just spent £40m on a new striker:

Newcastle United have signed striker Joelinton from Hoffenheim for a club record £40m fee on a six-year deal.

The 22-year-old Brazilian is Steve Bruce's first signing since he was named the club's new head coach on Wednesday, replacing Rafael Benitez.

Joelinton scored 11 goals in 35 games for Hoffenheim last season, with seven of those coming in the Bundesliga.

He started his career at Brazilian side Sport Recife before moving to Germany in 2015.

The deal smashes the previous club record fee of £20m paid for Paraguay playmaker Miguel Almiron from MLS side Atlanta United in January.


It will be interesting to see if they make any other big signings.

THIS is crazy
Bruce n co can't have been behind this purchase as it's too soon after his arrival.
This stinks of desperation and I really fear relegation awaits them.
For sure he could hit the floor running - but more likely takea few months to settle. Can they wait that long ?
Another VJ in the making me thinks

He is an interesting signing...

decent striker, with a horrid disciplinary record.

hot headed player, he tends to react badly when tackled.

he has potential thou. imo... worth the gamble.

PL is just the league for a hot headed player who doesn’t like to be tackled. Dropped by Christmas ?

Anyone know who this Brazilian guy is? His goalscoring record looks ok, but nothing special. Just surprised they have spent that after only selling Perez for £30m.

I have no idea where to put this, but a middle aged Steve Howey is on SSN right now, and my brain can't handle it.

I said, when this was posted in the FA Cup thread, that although the immature part of me found it quite funny, I hope he gets pulled up on this and gets punished.
You just can't be waving your cock around in public and get away with it, it's wrong.

Coming from McFlash, this is too amusing :LOL: :LOL:

But I agree, there would have been kids there and it was live on TV so can't get away with that.

Yeah, guess he'll probably regret feeling so cocky
