Why the fuck are Brighton selling him for €20m?

£60m for Eze is incredible business like. Palace wouldn't sell Guehi with two years left on his contract for way more than that to us though.

Don't even look likely we get Wissa in

But he ONLY WANTS Newcastle

There's absolutely no chance in hell that Eddie would want him starting on Monday after having had 0 minutes of pre season anyway.

Terrific statement, just in an ideal world it would have said something like 'He's not for sale, especially not to Liverpool' or words to that effect.

Göykeres scored more than a goal a game in Portugal, of course he was going to attract the top teams

Well aye, that's kind of my point; how much inflation there's been in the last three years. Yet FFP rules are still the same, and have been for a long time before that as well

Pretty mad that we've basically bought a back up midfielder for more than what we paid for Bruno. That's not a slight on him at all btw, just rate Tonali Bruno and Joelinton that much. Think he'll be a terrific signing.

See both Eze is starting for Palace despite being heavily linked away.

Can we turn off yellow and red cards for this game please?

9.30 according to the club's app

The £130m+ bit can get fucked mind. It's not a penny less than £150m, and even that's too cheap really.

Anyone know what time his press conference is today?

That's what I thought about them last season, worked out all right for the cunts though

Wonder if Howe will acknowledge his existence at the presser today

So fucking shite that a huge club like Villa, who have been in the CL recently, have to sell one of their own just because of some utterly ridiculous rules has been brought in to protect the wealthiest clubs in the history of the game.

Isn't it just the whole 'they know you've got loads from Mbuemo and about to get loads from Wissa' inflation? It'll basically be us, Spurs and Man Utd paying the extra £15m compared to his actual value

Best manager in the league and the best one we've ever had. Whats his contract situation like btw? Was it last summer he signed a new one that wasn't even reported on? Just want to know cause he should be here forever.

Here’s the full translation into English: --- Newcastle United Surely even as a Swede you’re allowed to think that Alexander Isak is acting like a spoiled brat? Petter Landén: I understand why you’d feel that way – even I feel a twinge of anger over the strike. But if you read up a bit, you’ll see the story is complex, with broken promises and (deliberately?) misunderstood communication from the club’s side… I just wish Isak would speak up and give his side so everyone could hear it. Unfortunately, football doesn’t work that way today. Mattias Tengblad: It’s a free country! But in the nine years that Alexander Isak has been on my radar, he’s appeared to be the exact opposite of what you describe. When I read David Ornstein’s reports about Newcastle’s broken promises, I also feel that Newcastle has acted both strangely and unprofessionally. In any case, it’s all unfortunate. Therese Strömberg: You’re allowed to think that, but I don’t. He seems to have been promised things he hasn’t received, and we’re so used to big players doing this now that I find it hard to get upset. If anything, I think it’s refreshing to have two Swedish troublemakers this summer! --- Anthony Elanga – smells like 10+10 this year and a smash hit! Petter Landén: I so wish I could agree with you. Nothing against Anthony – he’s good enough to produce those kinds of numbers in a well-performing team. But Newcastle this year… they’re not getting top four. Mattias Tengblad: He has it in him. But the timing is terrible. How is Newcastle really doing? Therese Strömberg: Still a peripheral role in the national team. --- Weak transfer window so far… but surely the squad is still good enough to fight for top four? Petter Landén: I literally just answered that? Good grief, ask better questions. No – too many missed opportunities this transfer window, too many rivals who have improved. They’ll have to fight tooth and nail for the Conference League. Mattias Tengblad: No, I don’t think so. The team has overperformed for several years under Eddie Howe’s leadership, but that was with harmony and peace to work. Now? Total chaos around the team’s biggest star and simultaneous Champions League play. Who’s going to play as the number nine when Isak leaves? Anthony Gordon? Therese Strömberg: It does depend quite a lot on Alexander Isak and how they manage that situation. And now they’re going to play in the Champions League again too. As of now, I think it will be difficult. ---- That's the chatgpt translation of said article @midds

An article in Expressen (one of the bigger Swedish papers) today had all three pundits defend him and his actions, while citing Ornsteins claims that he's been lied to by the club. Was pretty pathetic to see them all rallying behind him and claiming 'that's just football now'. Obviously the discourse in Sweden is going to be very different to the UK, and I'm not arguing your points, just wanted to show what the Swedish media are saying (we'll definitely have a stinker of a season according to them btw).

Abso fucking lutely not. The whole start of the season has been massively soured from the summer. Coming from the best season of our lives to this has been a massive fucking come down.

Thought we only signed players from the PL btw?
