Reflecting at a Q&A event later, Keegan said: “We tried to sign Modrić. Modrić’s agent was a massive fan of mine and he was about to sign for Spurs. He hopped on a train to Newcastle and all we had to do was sell the club to him. Mr Jimenez said I’ve watched him, I don’t think he is big enough or strong enough to play in the Premier League. That was the end of that, he killed it stone‑dead.”

Nah, purely hypothetical. Dunno if you’ve read it but the chapters in Keegan’s book on the spell under Ashley is really sad. It extinguished any light Keegan had left for football

he’s hardly going to say well actually I was edging towards Newcastle until that fat sports direct guy and his poison dwarf put a stop to it because they thought I was too lightweight is he? honestly man. Get up Keegan’s quotes on it. It was done till wise got involved

Jesus Christ you do know I wasn’t actually suggesting we call up Keegan and give him a job? I know he’s done with football. I read his book and he made it very clear his book was a goodbye to football. Point is we need someone because this has been embarrassing and honestly setting us back years

I don’t think Jamie Rueben has a single clue how to do the role of director of football. Mentioning Keegan’s age is weird. It’s fine to say he’s been out of football for many years. His age is irrelevant

And Jamie Rueben & Andy Howe is?

Maybe not but that wasn’t really my point anyway my point was he knows football inside out. He’d been away from football for years and persuaded modric to sign for us before he got fucked over. Take Trafford for example I’ve absolutely no doubt Keegan gets that done early before Man City decided they needed a keeper it’s all hypotheticals I just said it couldn’t be worse than what we are doing now. Not that deep really

FWIW I agree, he said in his book he was absolutely finished with football and I’m not suggesting he come back I was just agreeing it wouldn’t be the worst idea coz we’ve pretty much nobody else

That’s your standard. Oba Martins. Regardless of who Keegan is he knows a shit load more of how football deals with than Jamie Rueben.

Yeah he only won the Ballon d'Or twice and played for a highly successful Liverpool team.

No shit genius. By all accounts we want the guy from Forest who isn’t going to leave mid window and if he did he’d be on gardening leave that’s why I used that special word ‘temporary’

Thats a dream at this point

I think temporarily being part of negotiations wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. When keegan talks about Football people listen. We’ve no one else

That’s not true. One of the biggest stories of the Ashley era and part of the reason Keegan walked. How can fans get this wrong? Modric was coming Ashley and co fucked Keegan over

Man Utd fans back to being entitled cunts after a couple of signings in no surprise.

Refer back to my comments last night - Man Utd will finish above us this season unless we sort ourselves out

Setting us back seasons this window

Doesn’t seem to be the case tho does it? Went cheap on the keeper and the defender & midfield links are Thaiw & Mcginn

Said it earlier, I feel it’s a Midtable sides transfer window. Maybe that’s harsh but it’s so underwhelming and uninspiring

A lot of people saying they’d be happy with McGinn, I asked last week I’ll ask again just to get an idea if I’m miles out if our window was…ramsdale, thaiw, elanga, Mcginn & Wissa. (Isak stays) Are you happy & Confident for the new season?

Maybe get Paqueta when McGinn retires then

If we are being honest and ruthless it’s a midtable sides transfer window
