So why take on more risk when we've got the spine of a team that won a cup? Especially if we can't spend the money not anyway?

@Heron

I regret softening my stance on baldwards a few weeks ago.

Need a tifo of Yasir in a chair in the corner.

We're not at a financial level (snort) where we can take a chance on TWO expensive forward signings and hoping they work out. What if they're both shit? We're fucked for the rest of the decade. Better to keep what we know works, I would assume.

Wissa went on strike and Brentford told him straight up he's going nowhere. Fair fucking play. I love that, even if it was to our detriment.

The mentalist in the suit at Wigan, or the ear dildo one. Before football was a college elective.

We'll probably throw Gordon in for free as a good faith gesture.

It'll be 85m and a written apology for wasting their time.

I can't imagine Eddie saying get rid without a replacement. Especially after yesterday. In a CL season. With the world cup on the other side of the season applying pressure on the player to maintain match fitness.

It's not even slightly dramatic. It's completely accurate. That's what is so frustrating about the entire thing. Forest get it, Brentford get it, Wolves get it. What the fuck are we playing at.

I'm not feeling terribly sportswashed, man.

Ideally he fucks his world cup chances up.

So one of two things is apparent in 24 hours. 1. The club is going to play the PSR game - the current crop of players are an investment and will need to be moved on in order to fund our actual attempts to be competitive in a few years so it's safe to disengage and be a bit cursory about things until then. 2. Literally every journalist is talking shit and there may actually finally be a reckoning for the state of it all.

I don't want to be a lawyer, but I'm taking the bar so I can be right on the internet.

Football is fun, isn't it? What's your favorite part of football, the goals, the tension, or the accounting courses you have to take to participate in midweek discussions?

Even after he was cleared? No independent examination? If he's so stubborn he's willing to get surgery to sit out the season then fuck him. Get the op. See you next summer.

He left a bit out.

I just don't buy this, tbh. It feels like panic. If he can sit on his arse until January and there's no legal recourse the club can turn to I'd be shocked. Sue him. Pocket his registration and stop his wages until he comes back.

KI is a MIke as well. That's how hot the fire is, no time for nicknames.

It's so irredeemably short sighted and stupid that it can only be true. We're going to think about tomorrow for at least 5 years.

Two steps forward two steps back, Mike. We had finishing but no delivery, now we've got delivery and possibly no finishing. We haven't built on the momentum of the cup, we've got 60 games and two unproven forwards, we still can't break down a low block, we have no plan to remedy that. It's just going to be a fucking mess until we can spend the money next season, so best to just be casual until next season. Of course when we miss out on CL we'll lose even more momentum when we have to replace Tonali and god knows who else. We didn't even properly sign a fucking keeper.

No, I will. I've been a Bills fan far longer than NUFC and I couldn't give a shit about anything they've done since January. I'll just enjoy a hobby.

Negotiating from a position of strength, cutting the price and not replacing the player. I think Woltemade aside I'll lose every ounce of interest in the club until next summer if this happens.
