Man U just took a step closer to CL football with Maddison injury

I've said all I have to on the matter.

Hope for a proper drubbing so I can see Arteta cry.

This urban purist shite they're releasing as well - why do we want 2010 vibes? Was 2010 a vintage year for training clobber?

A famous loss for Arsenal

I'm not referring to your interaction with TCD. Again with the talking down though, you can't help yourself can you?

What we thinking tonight then lads? An Arsenal hiding. Or a noble effort but not enough. Or a famous win.

Speaking of Brighton, wonder where James Milner goes in summer? Would’ve become all time appearances in prem this season hadn’t he got injured. Would Leeds want him on a one year deal?

Lord give me strength ...

My point was more signing 25yr olds for £25m isn’t really with a view of trading profits, it’s a shift in policy to signing players differently to what they’ve done before to kick on. Signing likes of Baleba are with a view of profits, likes of O’Riley are not. So them moving to signing Watkins type of signings are already being done by them (I.e. ready made and played many games in Europe / European domestic leagues) It’s like us signing Barnes isn’t with an eye for profit, it’s for the output in the immediate. Agree they will be caught up, because every club in their bracket will have an off season or two and drop off. Wolves and Leicester of recent years are two examples.

It's based on the league equivalent so it won't have the top leagues on there.

Nope

Rogers and Nunes aren't even similar at all are they?

I agree, they need a bit of a marquee signing in a striker position. Buying a striker is pretty much the hardest position to fill and usually very difficult to do cheaply. If they got it right then they could get a top five spot

That's sort of what I'm getting at though? All 3 of those are punts. If they smashed it, they'd double their money in a year or two. They've been caught up by the likes of Bournemouth & Brentford who have similar ways of going about things. Palace do it slightly differently mixing up young English potential and signing the odd generational talent like Eze, but they're probably on a similar level. West Ham will likely come back to at least a mid-table side again next year, Everton's new stadium and revenue might give them a boost to climb out of that 14-17th rung. It's not unique what they do anymore. Seen it so often with the likes of Swansea & Southampton where they look mid-table or slightly better, get it wrong one year and it's all undone. They're at a stage now where £50m or so on Watkins will improve them. Just feel they're in danger of those clubs I've mentioned overtaking them or at least matching them and they drop 5-6 places in the table pretty rapidly over the course of a season or two.

You are intense I agree with team Rogers. Never seen Nunes be that great

Did we reverse the ban on posting nufcblog content or something?

I know exactly why I responded to TCD the way I did, and that's between me and him. Quite frankly, it's really none of your business, and so I'd appreciate it if you mind your own business and stop sticking your nose in.

https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouth-fc-news-transfers-newcastle-united-5117819 How on earth is this fella still employed by Newcastle United Football Club?

Talk of him changing his shirt to “Trent” as part of the marketing move.

Do you speak to people like this in person? You must be unbearable.

Think his injury background has meant he just loves playing football these days even at a low level or just for fun. Fair play.

Pretty sure he played two full seasons at Sporting. He was at Wolves for only one season and showed flashes when he was there, despite people pretending he was rubbish there. The Man City move was a bad one for him. We've seen Pep so this sort of thing before. Claiming Rogers is ten times the player he is, is laughable, and was what I responded to in the first place. Never mind the fact my original comment had nothing to do with who was better, as I said they were a similar profile, making the reply and comment even more ridiculous.
