    Transfer rumours

    Get Cronaldo in. Now he's worth the £600kpw, unlike bale.
  2. I wonder if that's the same Olivier Bernard that told my daughter 2 weeks ago that we would hear 'next week', so last week? That's because it's all based on expectations. It was "expected" to happen last week but didn't. Not sure why everyone is obsessing over exact timings. It'll happen, or it won't. Valuable insight. Glad you cleared that up. Well that's the fucking point isn't it Well it’s 100% accurate, so probably doesn’t belong in this thread.

    Zaha is a whiny little cheating prick, but very good at what he does. So much so I’d say Palace are relegation fodder without him and why they command such a high fee for him. For me it depends on where we’re going as a team. If we’re looking to defend well and counter then as an outlet he’s ace, if we’re intending to dominate and see more of the ball he loses his impact and for me why he never made it at manure (apart from being very young) I’d prefer us to be looking at someone who can score goals provided by the outlet and use asm and Or Almiron in that role. I also can’t see Zaha leaving London for any team, so pretty much ain’t happening.
  5. I know you weren't entirely serious but Ramadan hasn't stopped them announcing Disney etc...
  6. Small time https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/new-leicester-city-training-ground-4138729 About a month ago I heard from someone that the plan is for the first team to move out of Benton to a new training ground on the outskirts of the city. The current training ground at Benton will then be knocked down and rebuilt and used for the academy, with the old academy at the opposite end being knocked down. Sounds a plan. Wonder if social distancing makes them rethink any blueprints, space things out more etc..

    This is awful, just as i expected it to be. It's like watching Botswana Vs Wakanda in the Under 23s Olympic games hosted in Alaska

    If they do they'll have an unfair advantage playing in empty stadiums.
  10. and fair enough. Hopefully you can get passed who owns us and can enjoy whatever happens next. I dare not say success, just a club that tries.

  12. It's not worse at all. Petrol is until recently pretty much a necessary thing that has been in people's lives forever. When you buy petrol there also isn't a Saudi flag on the pump telling you to visit Riyadh, you don't know where it's coming from. The second this goes through Newcastle Utd will become Saudi Arabia United What absolute bollocks. How? We'll still be called Newcastle United. I doubt very much if the club crest will be replaced by the Saudi flag, but feel free to call me out if I'm wrong. Any success will have nothing to do with Newcastle, the only reason for the club existing will be to help Saudi Arabia's image If that is the case what are you going to do if this goes through? Do you walk away from just the club/this forum etc...or football entirely? You could support another team but who?

    Transfer rumours

    Wouldn't it depend on what his wages would be. Well he's got another 2 years at Madrid and he's already said he's quite happy seeing it out, not playing (or something along those lines) so we'd need Madrid to part pay his wages if we want it reduced. I can't see them doing that. Then there would be a fee with him, £50m or something? Jesus. Its a financial disaster, especially if we're sticking to FFP, if we are that basically takes us over in one go. Read the edit I put in my original post. I wouldnt take him on current wages, as much for FFP as plain value, but I've seen enough leadership from him to make him a decent choice for the mature role we'd need if we want to buy good young talent. Which Id guess would be the way to go as with FFP you have to get decent resale to catch up on the Man Citys etc. Bale and mature don't really mix well with me, well apart from his age and legs. If we want a cheerleader then we've got Ritchie.

    Transfer rumours

    Story is last summer Bale was going to join a Chinese side on a free transfer with Real happy to have his £480kpw off the wage bill. But another bidder was interested, a one which was going to pay a fee for him so they stopped the transfer. The 2nd bid fell through and Real will have since paid him £25m in wages for a thousand minutes of game time, or £25k per minute. Obviously it works out a lot cheaper if you include his time on the golf course coming out at around £500 per min. He's another Owen. He'd be our best player, but highest earner ever who's heart won't be in it and would spend a lot of time injured. Imagine people not wanting that for their club, almost like they've learned their lesson.
  16. Yeah it's been draining. Was all for celebrating when we finally had the confirmation, now I don't know if i've got it in me. Hopefully different when it comes around but the PL have a lot to answer for, especially at times like these.

    The bitterness flows deep They hate the media and any mag reporting on them (but have a go when they don't as they feel ignore) but they hate their owners even more so this has really torn them who to turn on. Well the answer is the poster Grumpy Lovely.
  18. I expect the club are at the stage where they are fully monitoring the situation.
