#wait

Come in here probably every waking hour hoping for a crumb of a rumour and am routinely left dejected. I sneered at the bed wetters getting angsty in the first couple of days in June, now my sheets are well and truly soaked.

Haha most likely, I'm not 100% certain of the timing. But the lad he borrowed it off is actually the lad Sam Fender gave the shout out to on Soccer AM that time.

Was he not wearing it the night before? I'm pretty sure there are videos of him on the night time at the ground

What's Botman got to do with it?

Tbf he did borrow that off a mate, cos I half know the guy he borrowed it off. He has always been a Newcastle fan though, as per the hundreds of photos of him out there in NUFC kit as a kid.

We did sign Botman.

Exciting times.

Nah, I don’t think we could have. He chose Bournemouth cos they were prepared to give him exactly what he wanted. More and more young players and their ‘advisors’ are going down the Bellingham route of choosing clubs to be a stepping stone on the career path they’ve mapped out for themselves. Occasionally, you might find an instance where that works for you, but I’d be wary of it. At least whilst Eddie is our manager anyway, as that just doesn’t align with his MO. As, for Bruno’s release clause, I’d say that was IMO high enough (reportedly anyway), as to be transformative, so those ones I can probably live with.

14 pages and counting on Sam Fender. Total fewm More lies again, they just can't help it. This, and of course the usual utter bullshit, stating that they have been told off a sister/kids/teachers, that he wasn't interested in us until the takeover. I've never seen a more desperate set of cunts than that lot. Fancy an entire fan base getting worked up due to one musician

Labourers sprint 8 miles a shift as well which really highlights the problem.

Not to mention soldiers!

Labourers aren't assets - footballers are. These comparisons are very boring and shite.

Who knows, our journalists ask the important questions as always.

Yes, every team in the PL has a large data team now

Sure, I'm sure we could have persuaded him to sign with a higher clause. Let's not forget our skipper had a clause 12 months ago. Psr means an element of pragmatism is required.

Having to play 90 minutes every three or four days, the poor darlings. I know any number of labourers whose hearts are farkin bleeding.

Do we want players that will only sign if you give them a release clause? Don’t think we do really (unless it’s a transformative amount), as Eddie often stresses the need for players to be ‘all in’.

Do we have a data analysis type setup? I literally have no idea.

Clearly we need to replicate Everton and Southampton.

Starting to see Jadon Sancho being mentioned in the last couple of days as a cut price alternative for £25m. Might just be bullshit of course, it doesn't sound likely....but if we are getting quoted £70m for Elanga....

Aye, I'm all for a flexible approach.

How much would Chevalier cost? Unless it's a huge saving I think Howe would rather just pay the £40m and bring in his top choice. Realistically I think we'll end up compromising and paying between £30-40m for Trafford. Howe wants what Howe wants.

Which obviously served us very well that can't be denied. However (you know this was coming ) its an approach which will cause us to miss some gems imo. I mean we could have had Huijsen a year ago for 1/3 of what we offered for Guehi and a much lower salary as well.

Someone get Yasir watching Match Cam every day. We'll soon sign what we need.
