Cornet is the type of deal that we should have been making early doors in the window. He had what? 9 goals in 26 games in the league last year? We should have paid the 17m and got it done.

Murphy's as in the Irish stout? Thats in SJP?

This cunt signed yet?

Thats fucking quality.

There's other factors though. Leicester are one of our direct rivals for league position and we could be giving them a goalkeeper that might be their number 1 all season. That's of huge value to them. Plus it weakens our squad for that position because if anything happens to Pope we've got Darlow starting.

I've seen a few people saying £45/£50m plus Dubs and it'll be done but what value do you put on Dubs? He's proven himself to be a good Premier League goalkeeper for us and if we value the deal at around £50m then we're giving them Dubs for next to nothing. I'd value him at about £10-£15m. If he's on the deal then £40m is the absolute max I'd be given them in terms of money.

Delighted for the Lionesses. Really enjoyed their journey and can’t wait to see some Newcastle representation soon.

You’re not moving in with me and Mike now.

I’m sure the Brits marked many parts of the world with the stamp of colonialism, but things change. If we started calling it the Irish Isles are all the English now Irish? Maybe it’ll happen after Brexit.

You share that article but didn’t read this bit? In Ireland, the term "British Isles" is controversial,[8][17] and there are objections to its usage.[18]The Government of Ireland does not officially recognise the term,[19] and its embassy in London discourages its use.[20] Britain and Ireland is used as an alternative description,[18][21][22] and Atlantic Archipelago has also seen limited use in academia.[23][24][25][26]

He’s talking about the Republic of Ireland as well.

The term British Isles was created after Britain had colonised Ireland and it isn’t a recognised name for the area in Ireland. Here it’s known simply as Britain and Ireland. I know you’re on the wind up but you’re still just wrong.

Is the British Isles a nation?

Has Cornet agreed to go to Everton? We should be all over that if he’s still available. Absolute bargain for 17m.

Why is there no clock on this shite coverage?

Just checked my IPTV and I understand.

How are people commenting on this like it isn't bouncing all over the fucking place?

Can't stand Coors personally but I do enjoy a Corona or a Heineken after about 6 or 7 Guinness when I fancy a change and don't want to hit the half ones.

Looking forward to sitting in work Saturday with a couple of bets on. Missed this badly! Absolutely kills a Saturday and Sunday shift.

Seen a few people ask who would want to live there? I think it looks unreal. Would love to live there.

We've spent £170m on players in the last 8 months (and we're not done yet), spent God knows what on doing up SJP and our current training ground development, and we're actively looking to build a new world class training facility. Skint indeed.

Barnes is a no brainer. If we got him I’d be delighted.

I know fuck all about finance but I’m gonna guess this is either normal procedure or we’re using a loophole to get round FFP to get more transfers in. Next summer our ability to spend might be different once we get a new sponsor etc, something they were expecting to do this summer.

Genuinely up there with the best goals of 2022 so far. Outrageous!

I'm trying to be realistic with my prediction of 11th. The second half of last season was out of this world and I just wonder if something special was happening with regards to staying in the league and this season will be more as expected for the squad we have. Botman, Targett, Dan Burn and Trippier improve us massively defensively but we're still lacking up front. The midfield is improved with Bruno but we're still severely lacking when we've the likes of Shelvey starting every week. As things stand up front we're lacking massively out right and Wilson is a dead cert to miss chunks of the season with injury. Injuries to the likes of Wilson, ASM and Bruno expose another huge problem for us which is our squad depth because there will be players in our 25 man squad who aren't good enough for the Premier League nevermind pushing the top 8 or whatever. Things might be different by the end of the window but I can only make my prediction with what we have today. I'll probably review it on September 1st after a few games and the window being closed.
