Really looks like he stops on his run up 

If this guy is best in class, then it does make you wonder about the standard of Directors of Football.  He seems like an absolute clown.

I think it's likely most of the negotiation is around payment terms at this stage rather than the fee itself - how much of it is guaranteed and how much is performance/appearance related

Haven't seen him play much.

What's his strenghts and what kind of keeper is he?

very good with his feet, high starting position, good shot stopper, a bit flappy on crosses despite his height, and looks to be weak as piss

How many of these rules that Man City are now arguing against did they vote for?

Dubravka is absolute turd

A goalkeeper who can sweep and pass the ball well to start off play from the back is so important now - £35m for one who is still young is a very good investment and IMO could be the most important signing we make this summer.  If we get the Georgian fella, Tosin and Kelly, plus a new winger/forward in I will be delighted.  Dubravka, Karius, Dummet, Ritchie, Almiron to head out to make space in the 25

Ok a large quantity of land in the South East of England, within easy commuting distance of Landon is worth mega bucks. Happy Now? (Everything south of the Tyne is France to me tbh)

It's only worth something if you can build on it now or in the future though. Interesting concept though.  Could we potentially build loads of club infrastructure which isn't included in FFP and then sell it to boost ouR FFP?

dear me what a shithole

Theatre of wet dreams

Are they just ignoring the 'offside' goal because they are too busy wanking off Real?

What on earth is he flagging that for

Why would we negotiate down on someone we don't want to sell?

Does seem unlikely when we are apparently unwilling sellers at 100m

Back to negative goal difference for Man Utd.  Absolute shite

Not sure how one of the most dynamic, attractive footballing teams in the league are being made to look like a load of old shite by Crystal Palace.  Ten Hag's right though, it is fun to watch.

It's a free kick for high boot anywhere else so should be a pen

Find it a bit strange praising Howe for this. Howe has done miracles with this team, but Hall is not one of them. Hes only playing because of the injury situation. If everyone was fit Hall would be on the bench, and Burn playing yesterday.

Perhaps because had he been thrown in straight away it would have harmed his development more than being on the bench.  Ultimately no-one other than the management team know why they have held him back, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

If he doesn't do that weird FIFA glitch jump that never gets given

Needs a Bobby Robson 'you'll do for me, bonny lad' to complete the sleeve

This guy to Take Dummet's place in the squad and Kelly to replace Ritchie and I'll be delighted!

Would be an awful shame if the Saudi clubs were to offer £2m for someone Man Utd valued at £20m

We just need to really start pumping the sponsors to up our turnover. But other than sela and noon We seem to have been a bit slow on that front. so maybe it’s a route the club have deemed too obvious a piss take. 
 

compare manure list of partners:

to ours:

https://www.newcastleunited.com/club/partners/current-partners/

im not really sure why our training gear doesn’t have any sponsor at all. I bet manure are getting something meaningful for their kit sponsor - it’s not the same as their shirt sponsor.

 

surely there are half a dozen off this list who could make us up an extra £50m minimum. Maybe we do think it’s too risky a strategy.

How does one work out fair market value for an Official Percussive Therapy Device Partner?

Why would the “related sponsor” thing relax because of this? Sorry if I’ve missed it and the reasons for it. I just don’t see them changing it. 

 

 

 

The idea seems to be that a ceiling has been created which means a team cant just spend a billion quid in a season, so related party rules can be relaxed.

Might as well just play the final in Manchester. 

They will need a new Wembley of the north for that!
