So just to catch up here. Mendy is possibly a serial killer in the making and Greenwood is a grade A asshole who probably should be locked up for a long time?

I am as well tbh. The players brought in no doubt strengthens the team and I'm super excited to see Bruno G in action. But I can't shake the feeling that not bringing in more firepower will bite us in the arse.

As I mentioned in a different thread I think this window's is probably a 6/10. The business we've done has been good, but the business we haven't done could break us unfortunately. IMO we desperately needed a top CB and a top ST on top of what we've had. Looking at the deals done individually I'd say; Trippier is a 10/10 signing. Bruno is a 10/10 signing. Burn is probably a 7-8/10 signing for where we are. Targett is probably a 7/10 signing, especially on loan. Not a position I thought was prioritized though. Wood was definitely a panic buy, we really needed anyone to lead the line. But he's a 6/10 signing at best. Not getting in a top striker or a top CB though is definitely a 0/10 which makes the window a 6/10. Mathematics at its finest. I'll say though that it feels so good caring about all this stuff again. And kudos to the new owners for trying their hardest to strengthen us. They've aimed for the top and have come up a bit short unfortunately but please, please let us stay up so we can enjoy the summer window which I think will be a blast.

Well, what started out as a great morning has me feeling a bit nervous. Overall I’m happy with the business we’ve done. It’s the obvious weaknesses we haven’t addressed that make me a bit scared. We really, really needed a top class CB, we really, really needed a top class forward and probably an attacking midfielder as well. Still time left I suppose but other than that it’s hard to say that this window has been any better than a 6/10. IMO anyway.

Yeah, if he waits until 10:30 it’ll be impossible. Before that though? Nah.

I reckon we have a full fleet of private jets at the ready in every market we have an eye on. Should not be a problem flying them here at short notice.

FFS, ASM is a hugely talented, absurdly egoistic and enigmatic player. Of course there’s a place for him at NUFC for years to come. The kind of player that makes me smile, laugh, scream and throw stuff at the telly in equal proportions. Kind of like Laurent Robert did back in the day. But with more tricks.

When looking at Legends Hospitality LLC (which I guess is the company behind this) they seem to have an annual revenue of just shy of $24 million. Good luck honoring this deal if true.

Looks an awful lot like Nate from Ted Lasso.

If this is true, surely we have had some conversations with agents if not the player himself before submitting a bid? Since every other link we’ve had has had us agreeing terms with the player but not with the club.

I was there as well. But under a different name. A few too many cock-ups with passwords and emails makes this my 4th or 5th account in this wonderful place.

Same here. Was fantastic. Dr. Gloom was also a member of nufc.nu if I remember correctly. It's 20 years since I registered there though so could be wrong.

Dr. Gloom? That's a blast from the past. You the same guy that had an epic website with match reports, gloom ratings and such back in the day?

Suck it haters!

I don’t think this has been half bad. We were always going to be on the back foot at times due to their extreme fitness and tempo thanks to Bielsa’s work over many years. But to me it looks like we have a plan and we have threatened them at times. But since our players are turboshit (most of them anyways) it’s always going to look a bit off at times. I actually think we’ll win this.

Fucking hell lads. It really hasn’t been that bad. We’re having a go and we’ve got a good chance of getting something here.

Raphinha knocked out by a wind blowing from Dummett’s elbow.

Probably should go 3 at the back pretty soon and bring Lewis on. Shelvey and J7 sitting and Willock in the hole.

Even Trippier looks like he’s drunk today. Thought we looked OK up until their chance. We’re so easily pulled out of position though. Scary. Should try and slow it down a bit and regroup. There’s something in this game for us methinks.

LFC surely wouldn’t let Origi leave in January? Man Utd has said no fringe players will leave either and Dembele apparently refuses a move in January. I don't think the loan market is all that good this year. Loads of 'unwanted' players on outgoing contracts who'd rather wait for the summer instead of going to Burnley (no disrespect to them).

In most ways it's a underwhelming signing and absolutely so when factoring in the fee as well. But as a lot of people has said, it weakens a relegation rival and it gives us some much needed physicality and PL experience from the get-go. I do think he's got the ability to surprise a few of us and will probably get 7-8 goals for the remainder of the season. That coupled with the idea that he's not the only signing for the attacking positions makes this more than an OK signing I'd say. I've always loved a physical, battering ram of a striker as well.

If we could secure Henderson before Watford that’d be massive as well. Dubs head has gone since his comeback.

Agreed. I’m sold.

Rated 61 on FIFA. I’m in! ? Also, his YouTube vids look awesome and I’ve always had a soft spot for a young Gaul since Saha.
