Would seriously do this deal to spite Palace

Simakan's youtube video is box office stuff.

I'd rejoice at signing some other CB for far less than Parish is demanding for Geuhi out pure spite on how they conducted this thing.

Genuinely jealous of that deal

Bruno, Isak and Gordon arent going to magically demand to leave because we didn’t sign someone. Thats all pure speculation and fear seeking as per usual here.

Nice reminder we have no friends and no chairmen doing any favors for us and we should promptly feel the same way on the other end (minus Forest). Absent forcing someone out, we treat them like they treat us going forward.

God wish we were all over that.

Chiesa potentially to Liverppol per Orenstein. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5724919/2024/08/27/liverpool-chiesa-transfer-juventus/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twitterfc&source=twitteruk

Means hes cup tied, then. Wow. Fuck Palace.

Such a cool thing they did; would love to see the PL do that as a third kit or something -- retro/throwback.

Really excited by all the articles about him in the last few days.

Can't wait to see him play in two days time.

I thought it was the most aggressive and positive he’s looked. He was completely unpredictable in his attacking moves with the ball. He worked with the space (or lack there of) and really pushed and asked questions of the Bournemouth defenders. Honestly thought it was some of the best I’ve seen from him for us.

Anyway, I am derailing this thread so I’ll shut the F up.

Just feel that the PSR nonsense coupled with the constant press/twitter/content speculation of the transfer window to be utterly exhausting and zaps all the fun out of the simple act of watching football and talking with family and mates about what you see on the pitch during or after. I hope we get these deals done this week and strengthen the 11 and add needed depth, but I am also just happy that I get football back and most importantly, the highs and lows (hopefully more highs) of NUFC. I want to talk about tactics, team selection, “what ifs” and dream a bit.

Not you too, Haydn, man.

I know and that’s fair, but just feel like it’s really hard for me to understand how that has essentially ruined the opening weeks of football for some (and made this place miserable).

We are two matches into a long league campaign and have 2 domestic cups as well on top of that. Wild to think people are already this fed up.

Not a single PL player is going to be able to pull Popey down like that tho. Nor would he sell it that way.

Howe could technically still play the two Joe partnership on the right if he was absolutely mad, and wanted to experiment. With Tonali playing LCM (like he did v Paris)

People really forget what the fuck we were falling into before Mandy refused to take no for an answer, Eddie spending 20 hours a day trying to make NUFC relevant and our owners trying their absolute best to sign as many players as possible to progress us on the field. It’s Iike people think we have executives at the club just sitting around scrolling the internet and not trying to make this club better every single day.

Eddie Howe - who has basically lived NUFC for nearly 3 seasons; part coach, part DOF at first…. saved us from relegation, signed some proper hard working pros and world class talents, got us 4th and CL, a Cup final and a decent attack at the domestic cups last season too; with an injury crisis never seen before around our parts somehow still guided us to 7th and if not for City losing to Man United in the FA Cup Final would have gotten us another season of European footbal. Do people immediately want to throw knives at him for “shit” performances, 4 points from a possible 6? If not that, it’s also this weird obsession over his transfer strategy or his team selection. Has he not shown every single person here time and time again that he’s better at this football thing than we are? Fuck sake. Some of you do really deserve MA again.

Bournemouth were desperate for Mamar too, I’d take that Neto as our backup tbh

Pope, Trippier, Krafth, Kelly, Hall, Tonali, Bruno, Willock, Barnes, Isak, Gordon.

Always assumed Gordon was to replace Miggy; Maxi and Gordon would be the starters. Then we signed Barnes and sold Maxi so then it was Barnes and Gordon.
