Just fold it up now then

Come to NUFC Leandro.

None of these seem to be any player Potter wants

Nobody, but I recognize Ashworth has mentioned it several times - player trading must happen for those to get off the books and for us to actually have cash inflows outside of commercial deals and ticket/merch sales etc.

Not shocked Howe’s comments are as class as you can get on the matter. Noting how good he’s been around the place and how he’ll deal with it internally. That humans make mistakes and all that.

His first bit of trouble was getting a haircut during COVID.

Some of you really are some odd balls. Boo him? Ban him for 6 months? Have any of you ever made a mistake? Have you no more info than news story? He was charged, he was not convicted. Thankfully nobody is hurt. Thankfully he isn't hurt. He will be dealt with by law and the club. He's a human being who's done a fuck load of good for the club and the city, but hey let's jsut make shit memes and songs and jokes about him.

Sitting here on 1/12 looking at the window - I'll say it's a real missed opportunity to not strengthen where Howe wants in the positions he wants. The club continue to remind us about FFP issues, I won't argue against those because I haven't the time or energy or access to the data to work the math out, but I am certain we do eventually need to shift some of the deadweight off the books to free up wages, squad places, and increase income through player trading and commercial deals. Really don't know whats going on with the commerical side - we saw a flurry of activity before the Saudi winter break and that was really encouraging but not heard too much about new commerical deals for the future otherwise. If the CEO and Commerical guy can't get those deals done quick enough or advance them to know that X is incoming over X years, let's go and spend that'll be a real disappointment. Many many days left in the window, and I know the club plead poverty then signed Isak so as usual, judge them when it SLAMs shut.

Hope it doesn't impact the absolute unplayable form he's been in recently.

Sensible Semmy is back ... @SEMTEX

1) I'm glad nobody is hurt, it appears. 2) Some absolute saints on this forum, you lot are the best humans ever! 3) bad decision by Joelinton, hopefully he will learn from this and not repeat it and be properly punished as the law deems and the club too

No, but it's a resource for the highly paid, highly important player to the club to get home safely and stay out of bother.

Club need to have policy for this. Full stop. A car service or driver on speed dial. All the time.

Same 11 as Tuesday for me. Give Isak and Maxi more minutes in the 2nd half if we're chasing or in the lead IMO.

Nah, refuse to believe that. Imagine him replacing Longstaff in the 11. 'kin hell.

Can't stand when people place Longstaff at LCM - Chronicle and various twitter accounts do it every fucking time.

Noticed that too! The block and the shield were redic quick

Starting to wonder if you rotate Maxi with Almiron in the current setup to not disturb the big and little Joes

I guess you could consider giving Maddison full freedom in 1 of the wide positions if our mid 3 was Bruno, Big and Little Joe.

In an ideal world you upgrade the wide positions around Wilson/Isak. At some point you get the wide forward who is high energy and goal scorer like Miggy but can create his own chance/shot (lke the Liverpool wide men)

Got no issue with them, I didn't feel that way after the miss mind you.

Majority? I still see FUN88 on our shirts, a Saudia adboard and a sleeve sponsor from the middle east. Doesn't feel or sound majority to me.

Essentially need to sign a box to box runner with better technical ability and we’ve got the upgrade or competition for him. As I’ve said before in a perfect world, it’s either a Maddison type or Joelinton finds his long term place there with Willock on the left side of the 3 and we sign a proper wide forward to play left side.

Just can’t even grasp how fucking good he is. He literally can blanket an entire 1/3 or 1/2 of a pitch with the amount of grass he covers and his work rate and engine are superb. He interchanges with Willock throughout the match, his close control, one touch passing, pressing and counter pressing are just unreal.

Looks 2-3 steps quicker than he was last season imo.
