Foden and Cherki midfield ffs.

According to the Alien wiki, the xenomorphs breath has a pleasant cinnamon and mint smell, as to not scare it's prey. Below is a bug eyed fucker with definitive proof.

His wages may be prohibitive

I don’t recall but the point is I’m sure that deal would have been relatively easy to do. Didn’t Burnley just get relegated? Again probably an easy deal to do. things will start moving in late June, july

Hmm, maybe there was an option? Either way I distinctly remember it not happening for a while after the season ended and with us being linked to Lodi, because everyone was just like 'just sign Targett ffs!'

I think Hebburn Ferry was about with Jarra Elvis,Simonside le Bon and Whitley Bay Huston, that little era

Thought we had an option to buy Targett?

Targett wasn't a loan made permanent, there was no obligation or option. His loan ended and we were linked with Lodi for weeks before he went to Forest and we then signed Targett. Pope was linked strongly and 'done' for a week or two before he officially signed. It's definitely partially because we're feeling starved and signings do tend to happen more in July, but it's not just the lack of signings but the lack of strong links that's making it more boring than in previous summers. .

There's a couple of Ferry's that I know of around the coast, one came from the south side of the Tyne, the other one has a connection to Holland

Target was a loan made permanent, pope was late June, Minteh wasn’t a first team signing and Kelly was a free transfer. the reality is we start making moves in July for whatever reason.

Yeah I know but I wanted/needed a CB i.e Woody or Albert as the wild card #27. Figured Schär is pretty much the modern Albert so went for Woody

I hope to fuck we're not signing Kühn. The guy is a one trick pony, weak as cats piss and has the heart of a mouse.

Howe can say what he likes but it’s far more likely things are being put in place to move early July after PSR enters a new cycle.

😄

No, he went by Thomas Etherington during school then adopted the Ferry surname after if I recall correctly. He may well have gone by something else as well. His mam was dirty. He's from Shields/Tynemouth area if that rings a bell

There’s no stress at this moment in time for me as it’s very early days. Having said that, I still think we will be very slow at getting the players over the line. We will get some players in but I’d be surprised if we do it even close to something you can call “effectively” or similar.

Do we ever really sign players in June? Isak, Livramento, hall, Barnes & Tonali were all signed in July & August. Botman and Pope were signed in June but it was in last week of June

Yes please. Exact type of profile we need imo.

No significant signings in 3 windows Howes comments of acting quickly The lack of sporting director to negotiate these deals come end of June. Risk targets going elsewhere is sit and wait. Not panicking yet but disappointed if we can be active and aren't being (no way of knowing this).

Not to mention the strong links for some of the players we went on to sign in July. But more than anything...

100% - always had real needle to it. A couple of decades of them in the doldrums probably means young’uns haven’t experienced enough games against them - but it was always one of the standout fixtures

A rule preventing clubs from broadcasting their academy team games when they are played the same time as the first team has been scraped. It now makes it easier for clubs to broadcast their own academy team games. I wonder if NUFC will consider a major upgrade to NUFC TV with us showing more games such as the academy team, and such?

For £60m they can have him

It’s in Chelsea’s / the sellers interests generally to say that they’re interested even if they’re not as it drives up the price for other competitors. Chelsea should receive a several year transfer window ban for crimes against football. Firstly, allowing a money launderer to launder enormous sums of money and use that to fund a football club. Secondly for totally destroying the loans system nationally and internationally. Thirdly, for being a fucking disgusting club
