No worries, didn’t take it as a dig. You might be right in some cases. But it’s also difficult to tell who exactly has said exactly what.

Some outlets reckoned Arsenal would get Isak for £70m man 😂😂 seems we should be keeping these players warm for the “big teams”

Burnsie 🤯

Really? Some might have done so, not many from what I’ve noticed. Have you noted all this down so you know it’s the same people who have praised every other clubs target and called ours shit? You could be right to a degree tbf. I have been excited about many of our targets and links. But if I don’t rate someone like DCL or Elanga too much then I’m gonna say it. When it comes to other clubs I’ll do the same. I’ve praised some signings and I’ve laughed at some. It’s not exactly uncommon is it? In this particular case I said he “could” be a class signing for them. I’m not saying that he absolutely will be. We’ve been linked to him as well. And if I remember correctly then I said I’d be excited about him despite never seeing him play. Not sure if on here or some other place but yeah.

Didn’t mean him - his agent is actually what I was angling at, maybe always after a deal for him but I agree with you on him. He seems really down to earth.

Think for the prices we'd be quoted from the selling clubs, you'd be looking at an outlay of atleast £250m for all that lot. I'd be stunned if we ever forked out that much in one window, especially under PSR rules. Not forgetting the wages that would need to be added in aswell.

You called Chelsea being interested in a player? Well done, they're not interested in many players these days so great call pal.

Yeah that’s a non starter, this is what Man City do- they plant the seed in the players head then hope they kick up a fuss.

Haha fucking hell, they can’t even be arsed to look up what we paid

Went through Chelsea’s academy, he couldn’t get a game so went to Southampton. Impressed in a team that got relegated and a Champions League club came in for him. That doesn’t sound like someone who’s just desperate for a move.

100%. Used to be the same when I was younger and was CM/FM obsessed and so were my mates. It also helped that the PL wasn’t Europe’s top division at that point, meaning that generally an expensive player from abroad was going to be a likely hit. This is no longer the case, as many clubs (especially Man Utd) can attest to.

Figures being bandied about by various outlets is 32m for him, which is well beyond a joke,

Nominate Vlachodimos going to Olympiakos

At the same time aren’t we his third club in 6 years or so? I may be wrong on that as I can’t be arsed to look up when he joined Southampton from Chelsea.

Not a dig at you Ikon, just feel there's a prevalence now for people wanting relatively unknown players because they're deemed more exciting than players we see in the Prem week in/week out Feels very FM-esque

Trump edit: didn’t get to the end of your comment before answering haha. Yes, agreed. trump.

NO IDEA!

When did it become so common for people to write things in BLOCK CAPITALS for impact? Since Trump started doing it?

Personally I think we’ve struggled at times to break teams down in certain games. Where we’ve really not been able to feed Isak as much as we would have liked. Where it has looked like we’ve run out of ideas. Obviously not most games no.

That's not a bad article at all to be fair, complements us and says with a proper owner we could be a somebody etc, it's a hit piece on Ashley and says a lot of what we were all saying. "Newcastle is a great club but Ashley's Newcastle is not". Indeed.

He played LB in the LC Final. Looked less than great the whole season at RB. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a RB, just that it’s actually a fair bit of time since he played well there. Again, doesn’t mean that I think he’s not good enough or that we should sell, just that if Howe chooses to do so then I’m fine with that

Think it's just that everyone we're signing being worse than shit and then an unknown teen from a random European league being that he could be a class signing

It wouldn’t surprise me to find that Forest sign one of our players if this goes through…

Nobody buys the old Ashley players, we won’t sell either of thosethem.

I don't think they will have problems shifting other players first. Martinez and/or Ramsey would be my bets for the pure profit that Ramsey would generate. Onana cost £50m so has a book value of £40m so they would have to sell for at least £60m you would imagine for it to make financial sense to even consider to sell.
