Alan Shearer

So that's why he's loved as well.

But Eddie's coming up to that five-year itch, if you like.

But I think he's in a really, really strong position because of what he's achieved and he's being able to deliver that trophy.

Yeah, without doubt.

You're not getting anywhere in football management unless you've got that little steel side to you as well.

You have to have that.

And there's no doubt he's got that.

But he comes across...

He comes across really, really well.

My thing would be looking forward is how he solves the forward conundrum at Newcastle.

Is that because of the money that's been shelled out?

As we've said on numerous occasions, 125 million on two forwards in Volta Mata and Visser.

How he solves that conundrum, because the Volta Mata one he's playing in midfield,

Not a midfielder for me.

He's not done enough in the centre forward position yet either.

And Viss has hardly played.

But you've spent £125 million on those two.

And at the minute, they haven't worked as forwards.

You can always take Isak back at the end of the season.

The best deals are the calm ones, when you've still got options on the table.
