With wages as they are it's the total package price that hits. Any idea what he'll be on ?

If only we could influence their relegation somehow

My bad, I thought it was in reference to the Brazil style posted a couple of pages back.

Not really. It's probably my favourite historical away kit of ours. 74 cup run.

Watched Hickey a couple of times since he's been linked with us and was a bit meh to be honest.

HTT protesting too much. I've always had my suspicions like.

Not just in this country. The Sevilla boss said about how well we had gone about trying to sign Carlos.

Wonder if a CEO fee comes under FFP ?

Might have turned out like Mbabu or Toney

Makes sense so he can see him up close and decide what's best for his development. Stay or loan out and if so what level to loan him to.

Since January we've been on that run and some have said that, at the time,Leeds,Villa,Everton, Southampton, Wolves, Brighton etc never turned up when they played us.....then some manager/coach said "Newcastle don't let you play how you want". I think there's a lot more to Eddie now than there was at Bournemouth and he wasn't bad there, but he's took on learning from what happened there, didn't jump straight into another job, took time to learn and we could well get the benefit.

Wonder how much his year out, travelling and visiting other managers/coaches changed him ?

To be fair they've kept up fairly well.

The start...........just the start.

Yeah but if we do that, say for example we buy 5 players for 50mill each and spread it over 5 years so our outlay for this year is 50mill, so far so easy, but next year we do the same, so next year's payments are 100mill, 50mill from the 2nd year of this summers transfers and 50mill from next years and so on. We have decent wiggle room for now but going forward we have to massively ramp up money coming in.

We should be looking at this kid Anderson at Bristol Rovers, 19yr old and Rovers fans are saying he's their best player ever. Dribbles well, shoots with both feet, eye for a pass and a goal.

"Have to" , how do you know I don't read Arabic ?, I don't but I found that a bit presumptuous of you.

Yeah, my way is easier, it's objective and defeats bias.

When we were in the championship we were a championship club. Every club is where they ought to be.

And look at Lingard at West Ham ? FWIW I'm not waving a flag for him. Is he worth 150kpw on a free ? Would he be worth 50kpw if we paid 10mill for him ?

Looking at other players at Man Utd I'm more inclined to think there's something wrong there.

Yip, definitely think he's worth another season.

Dunno like. Lingard looked the business at West Ham.

I'm not on this forum as much as I used to be. Could someone drop me a notification when the meltdown happens. Cheers. They're always fun to read.
