Fun times, eh.

I'd be surprised if we even spent £10m on a replacement striker in the summer tbh.

which one mate? Both of them were crazy good.

He has to rally his troops.... His comments of saying regardless he is out for 8 weeks should ring the bell for anyone. Even if we had him he will be unavailable until April. It's still changed everyone's mindset though and that's a huge difference.

After looking at the whole thing, I blame everybody involved as they've all fucked the fans and the rest of the team over. Everybody could have said no to this ffs, even with the transfer request on the table. If you want success then you have to have a top class striker in your team who is capable of 15+ goals a season, and hold firm in situations when teams come in but we've completely fallen at the first hurdle. In today's game even £35m is useless if it's not spent right and I have strong doubts that it will be in the summer. It looked like we were going to build our team around him and there was even hope in some corners that we could scrape europe this season (ok yes though it may have been a bridge too far this season, the potential was still there for years to come). For the first time since Sir Bobby's reign I was starting to feel proud of our team again. Our self-destructive management have once again found a way to ruin the good progress we have made in the last year and we now have to start again, which could take another couple of years now that we have absolutely no strikers capable of scoring. This is completely ignoring the possibility of relegation by the way, which would take even longer. Getting rid of Hughton was one extreme, but this just absolutely takes the cake. Why would you agree to sell your best asset to a rival club with 5 bastarding hours chance of finding a replacement, one which won't be better than the asset leaving? It just defies common sense, and nobody else would do it. What's worse is if by some miracle we do find an adequate replacement who is able to hit double figures by Christmas then he'll be off in the next January window when someone else comes in for him. As for Carroll, he claims he was forced out but was under contract for 5 years man. What, are they gonna terminate his contract, or break his legs if he'd said no? He's a money grabbing snake and shouldn't be forgiven for holding the club he supposedly "loves" to ransom, for leaving us in the shit, and naturally I hope he's a massive flop for them. The whole thing still makes me sick and I'll be astounded if we survive the drop with the pile of shit we have up front now. Everybody involved in this transfer hang your fucking heads in shame.

Even though we sacked Hughton we were still looking like we could keep the feel-good factor going to keep us afloat, but now we really are in big trouble with teams at the bottom slowly catching up to the rest of the pack. Pessimism just increased massively.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but we've had absolutely no joy what so ever in that blue kit, have we?

Off to bed. Wake me up when we win 2-1

Sarcasm?

What's going on?>

We always have literal snoozefests against Fulham tbh. Taking us to steal a peno in the 102nd minute

It might have been hot hair but didn't he claim it? My mind is a bit foggy on it but I could see him having a moan about it

lol as if Mido would even come here after all that racism hassle

Just having a think about it and it still feels so surreal that he's gone and joined them. I hate football right now

Total lack of respect for our club and the feeling will be mutual if he's said what people are claiming.

Funny how a lot of people are changing their tunes on Zoggy all of a sudden, but I'd gladly take him back in the summer. Clearly the best player in their team by some margin and we shouldn't have gotten rid to start with.

Genuinely don't think I'd even consider a move away from NUFC if I was playing for us. Honestly, not even to triple 40k a week wages. I'm leaning towards that myself, although I guess £40k a week must start to seem normal after a while - as mad as that sounds to ordinary people. Either way you'd be set for life. If I was in Carroll's shoes I would never leave the club I love. Will always have massive respect for the likes of Le Tiss for staying loyal and living the dream.

He could have said no. It's been said a hundred times.

Same here. I thought it was very convenient of him missing the FA cup tie as well.

Done deal

It's probably already done. Just needs confirmation
