Can't we just buy some random young foreign lad I've never heard of from a team I've never heard of for a pittance? I love those signings. Just find some random 20 year old in the Chilean second division and bring him in just for the mystery!

The highs of anticipation of the Christian Bassedas & Daniel Cordone transfers was not worth the persistent lows of watching them play and fail. I want surprises, but not that big of a surprise.

Looks like a talent, but Villarreal conceded the 3rd most goals in the league this season and at 189 cm Im not sure he fits into our no-midget policy

That’s almost 6ft 3!

I’m more outraged about your incorrect use of we’re than I am about missing out on the Conference League 

Autocorrect typo. It‘s no Biggie! (Kick in the door)

ESL Fix! Manure want to keep us down. Man City are happier competing with Manure who they’ve come to dominate than the Saudi-backed Mags who could properly compete with them. A cup City we’re happy not to win for hegemony.

Sign Big Mama. Tell him look at Onana’s first season, so we want to ease him in on cups and Euro Confetti games. Pope takes the league. Simples.

Imagine you're seeing someone for a bit, then you start hearing from your mates she's been seen out with some rich nob, the sort of wanker who makes pissy comments at homeless people, and it turns out she's started seeing him behind your back.

 

You're outraged, she says she's going to leave you for him, you have an angry break up, block her on social media, don't respond when she wants to come and pick up her beekeeping costume (turns out she's a keen apiarist in this analogy).

 

Yeah it's good you're not going to waste too much time on her. Yeah the rich nob and her deserve each other. Yeah you get your favourite CDs back.

 

Still, doesn't mean you should necessarily be happy about the whole thing. I mean, now you've got the hassle of going out on the pull again when you've got a Netflix boxset you'd much rather be getting on with. And besides, you're still using CDs. Who does that?

 

I think that's more or less Unbelievable's point.

 

 

 

There’s a need to recruit new personnel whenever anyone leaves. Would you/Unbelievable have felt this way when Steve Bruce was sacked? At least with Ashworth we have had some value. With Bruce there was nothing other than the permanent signing of Willockinho

At least we can’t be accused of sports washing

In defence of those publications, they may require the information to be sourced by more than one party which may not be possible for clear leaks from ourselves.

Those websites all reported Manure’s likely interest in Ashworth before Manure officially contacted Newcastle. They were hot on the Brailsford link and that he would likely want to work with Ashworth. 
 

If this story had a negative Saudi angle they would be running with it wall to wall! No objectivity in journalism anymore

Imagine a manager that conducts himself like this and that has done what he has so far at the club, and wanting anyone else in charge at the minute. Truly baffling.

 

Can't wait for next season. Think it's going to be a really big one.

King Eddie is so beautiful. And then you think of Ratty Dan trying to put Eddie in the dirt over his own stupid decisions in trying to leave for Manure.  The contrast in their characters couldn’t be more clear.

Totally!

 

Also undermines what he does, yes training tool but if that tool improves the finishing of Gordon, Isaac etc even 10% then it’s worth his wage. 
 

You don’t want Pope and potentially the back up keeper doing long stints after training as it could impact performance / energy levels. 
 

Same goes for a younger developing keeper who could be susceptible to injury with the additional workload. 
 

Finally 10K a week to a top premier league team, pocket change really

I wholeheartedly agree with your main point, but who the hell is Isaac?

I want us to go as hard on them over this as they did over our takeover.

Harder!

Yes maybe, but if he cant stay fit he cant be trusted. Hes the Joelinton backup really.

Willock is a Joelinton alternative for different games where we’re expected to be a bit more dominant. Willock buries that chance at Brentford! Plus Isak loves playing with Willock. Goals, assists and knee slides for days!!

Robert & Bellamy type ignition signings would be unreal. Another option to go alongside our main striker, and a tricky, flairful winger (on the right this time) to unlock stubborn defences.

Can anyone provide any evidence of any club in the entire history of, let's make it easy and narrow it down to just English, football where a manager has stood down for cup games and let "the guys" do them? 

 

?

 

Even by N-O standards, that's Whacky af 

Stephen Big-Dog Bruce used to do it for league games!

Commented on Trevan Sanusi’s Instagram post on his new contract

 

Can someone please interpret this? What does it say and mean?

Looks like a young Paul Dummet with his marauding emergency tackles and hopeful hoofs under no pressure. A bit worrying when the highlights are average

I sort of agree. He doesn’t read how wingers are trying to beat him very well, but he’s so quick and got great physical strength that he can recover and get the tackle in. Losing half a yard on say Mbappe in champions league though would be costly.

Also his passing is average. He uses a lob wedge that the winger/striker has to compete for or bring down on their chest or at an awkward height. I’m used to Schar pinging a 5 iron into feet.

Would definitely take him though. Recovery pace, 1-on-1 fuel strength like Joelinton. He’d be better than Dan Burn most likely, and certainly better at de fending than Hall.

Were you the girl doing kickups on the street?

Next year’s targets: a semi-final in Europe. Top 6. Deep run in a domestic cup. 
 

In dreamworld we’d win the Carabao Cup which gives us a boost to go on and win the Europa League. If I’m being really greedy, we avenge Manure in Carabao final!

How can you say this when he hasn't scored a single goal for us 

The ability to finish belongs to a player, not a club. I could have said the same about Isak before he’d scored a goal for us. Eddie says the same about Elliott so I’m in good company :-)

51 first team appearances with 0 goals for an attacking midfielder is a concern.

This is one of those posts quotes in 2 years’ time to acknowledge you called it wrong. “Yeah but in fairness, there wasn’t much to show at that point.” 
 

Anderson can clearly finish and he will do for us if given the chance. 5 goals next year, 8-10 the year after
