Because its seems to be used every signing .. 

 

Burn.. underwhelming

Targett.. underwhelming

Pope.. underwhelming

New kit.. underwhelming

Katy perry's boobs... underwhelming

 

Heard it more since the takeover than  ever did under fat lad.

Oh fair enough. Yeh certainly being overused in this context, those 3 signings I was all very whelmed about.

That word needs binning 

Why?

 So your analysis is an oxymoron? Nice work Tobes

Don’t think he’s a lemon. This one is all about psychology. He needs a very particular type of manager and situation to succeed I reckon, and had it at Spurs. There will be managers who can extract it, but his move from spurs was crucial. Everton was an awful option for him - I think managers like Howe/Potter/Frank would be his right kind of landing spot. A manager with empathy and great people skills. If he was on a free or thereabouts I’d pounce like a randy puma. No expectation of playing immediately but a few months to sort his head out.

Alli had a difficult childhood, it’s hard not to have some sympathy for him - but he is a wasted talent, all the same. 

 

 

 

Understatement. His father is an all-time cunt.

Great answer, ASM offered nothing all game other than the threat of being sent off.

Did Murphy offer more?

Would you have preferred Ritchie?

Done a lot more as a Newcastle player than Murphy.

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

What choice does he have today 

To keep ASM on? Pick someone else there? That’s normally the two choices you have vis. a substitute - keep the original on or choose another.

There’s one part of Howe i don’t like and it’s the finding time for Murphy. He’s not good enough.

Tindall’s got monkeypox you say?

Just can't see us signing anyone in 3 weeks that fits our charity shop budget.

Man I’ll have some of whatever charity you’re experiencing.

Go on..

 

Edit: Is it ‘Packweta’ or is it ‘Packeta’? 

 

 

 

Packetar. Accent on the second A in his surname.

I would very easily be able to distinguish between the teams whatever one of our 3 kits we wear. Needless shitshow and cynical money making. The kit and merch part of the new version of the club is thus far the worst aspect, coming across as unprofessional and cynical.

I've really gone off the lad. Probably his Miggy comment biasing me

Think he's talented, but mentally not the best and his attitude to drinking etc. suggests he won't deliver at the high levels City expect and demand. The Real Madrid missed chances a good example where a £100m player should deliver.

Your post illustrates my point - I don’t mean that in a shitty way. “A £100m player” - I think it will haunt him. 

Grealish won’t ever get near “justifying” that price tag. I think it might always haunt him - in reality he shouldn’t be judged by it (although even ignoring the fee I’d say he’s not yet considered a prominent player there), but I think he’ll always be the hundred million pound man to some degree. I think he is a cracking attacking player and, for the sake of our national team, I hope it doesn’t ruin him. I concede it wouldn’t not be funny if it did ruin him mind

I just don't get why people are so desperate to make premature conclusions. Unless you think the entire thing is a lie, and we're in fact not trying to strengthen the squad, the only time to assess our business is on the 2nd September.

 

If you think we've done poorly in not signing an attacker by Game 1/2/3/4/5, then fair enough (I don't agree, but it's a rational view); but to cast aspersions about our transfer policy or our mechanisms or the budget - when the cake is still in the oven ( @Kanji), is a bit mad. 

Oven-ready transfers 

1 definite success, 1 success.

Whilst some of you are worrying about transfer budgets or need to spend big a bit of food for thought…

 

 

 

That’s extraordinary. 

I’m super excited about this. 
 

It’s an interesting challenge - there’s an element of the unknown with the amount of new players they’ve bought and it being their first game back at this level. You’d be disappointed if we didn’t win against a newly promoted side at home though.

So was Craig Bellamy.....

Was different for me - I didn’t really know much about him before he joined so was neutral on him to begin with. See your point though. 

I get why people want him but personally I can’t stand him, he’s an arsehole of a player, would find him difficult to root for.

Also - more money. Probably the deciding factor. Mid to high 100's I assume.

 

There's no short-term footballing reason to join us from Leicester.

Not sure I agree with that. They had a mediocre season by their standards and haven’t improved the squad. We have quite obvious momentum and upward trajectory and look a good bet to be at least a consistently decent team and push for European football on the regular in the not distant future. No idea if this stuff factors in but I’d certainly rather be hero worshipped at SJP instead of fanned by inflatable clappers at the walkers bowl

Almiron has scored the same number of goals Cornet has in the PL. It's just taken him 4 seasons to Cornet's 1.

 

I'll never understand how much grace this lad gets from the fans on here. He's done little to deserve it.

Oh do you not like Almiron?

No, not seriously. In joke at Neesy.

Hopefully in prison by then.

Here man fuck off - why are you calling for people to go to prison?
