Re design the whole thing. The idea that the window shuts well after the start of the seasson is stupid. July should be the window for all UEFA countries, then a week long window in January.

Less than a year a go, we were looking at him as our best defender.

i wonder if the fines count towards FFP ?

This'll come over as a very much "in my day" post (I'm a Gen X not a Boomer) but you'd think a motorbike in a crowd, wouldnt be too hard to take the twat out. Wouldnt have got away with it in my days I tells ya.

Good luck fella.

and strangely I can't stop watching his disallowed goal over and over. Look at who he was taking the piss out of man.

Loved what I saw of him last night. Interested to see how he'd work with Wilson.

Should we call it Geordiefest or Geordiestock ?

Dont mind Palace, Brighton, Brentford, Spurs,Arsenal, Fulham and Bournemouth. Got issues with the rest. Mainly based on personal fan interactions.

I agree in general but maybe its time to stop comparing back to Ashley ? Ashley or not its been a very good window, 4 first XI upgrades (including Targett), 2 of them young with sky high ceilings. You can see the plan, you can see the build, you can see it on the pitch. I've no doubt we could have got improvements on the couple of positions we all know, but the clubs mindset is to get the right fit, and I love that the character of the player is massively important.

Honestly think he wants out but wants the pay off.

Their last couple of visits have had a bit of edge to them. There's definitely some needle building.

Because the reaction would be the same ? I went to a talk in with Sir Bobby and one of the things he was going on about was how little the fans and media know about what goes on, the conversations with players, bids, near things etc and quite often they are deliberately kept silent. Clubs maybe dont want the fans to know they are willing to sell a star but it falls through, players dont want fans to know they'd rather be at another club but a fee couldnt be agreed. He said that the amount of transfers that happen compared to the amount of bids and conversations that happen is a tiny percentage. Ando could be a WUM for all I know, I dont buy too much into it, he could just as well be ITK but optimistically naive about deals getting finished. Its not worth getting worked up about.

Or something hasnt come off.

He let us down.

8 Pretty sure I'd have gave it a 9 if we'd signed Isak about now instead of last week if that makes sense.

ECA2WP just took off fromNewcastle for Madrid Bye Bruno.............

Wonder what the number of games is and do they have to be Prem or whatever. Anyway, nowt personal but I hope de Gea gets a long term but not serious injury and Dubs has a shocker of a season.

It wouldnt though. This isnt to say he is but there are that many deals which fail at various stages which we never hear about. We could sign nobody and he could be ITK, we could sign Diaby and Maddison and he could be a WUM.

Wood is apparently a very strong leader in the dressing room.

Someon tell him to time how long Pope was down for.

FWIW I've just timed how long Pope was down for the extra added time. From hitting the deck (and the clock would have actually stopped a few seconds after that) to clearing the ball on restart, 1min 31secs. No idea where the other minute and a half came from.

One of the papers, maybe Observer, used to have a ball in play included in the match stats.

If he needs them ? We already know it's a group discussion and his is not the only voice.

My mistook. Channeling Luque.
