  1. We just need to win on Tuesday now and we can finally climb out the mire. That was horrific, I just fear for our ability to score.
  2. In the midst of a breaking story he chose to trivialise a pretty serious assault for the sake of banter, that being said the proceeding pile on was churlish and I would suggest had nothing to do with the actual tweet but anger and defence of something people love, i.e. NUFC. What's happening right now, people digging up tweets from 11 years ago is beyond the pale, there really is no good guys in this. It would have been preferable for him to have been punished, put out an apology and for the focus to be put back on the poor girl who is in the centre of the actual story, not this side show, freak show.
  3. Accepts responsibility for the idiocy of the tweet but not the repercussions of his actions, aye OK then. Would have been better to just hold his hands up, take the L and try to hold on to the tatters of his career, doubling down does him no favours.
  4. Hopefully with a better midfield now we change tact from lumping it up to a focal point with Wood's back to goal and get him facing the right way to get on the end of some of Brunos insane visionary passes. We could see more of Wood yet with better support just behind him.
  5. I'll echo the sentiments, an excellent bit of business, extremely excited to see Bruno in action but can't shake feeling concerned about our lack of firepower.
  6. I've turned into a transfer junkie, I WANT MOAR!
  7. Did we buy Bruno just to rival ASM as twitter king?
  8. I'm not sure I could be as restrained, he'd be getting a cricket bat to his kneecaps if it was my daughter, as a dad to a young woman this kind of thing really sickens me to my stomach, I can't imagine what he must be going through.
  9. Surprised there's been very little interest from us in Origi, think he'd be a better option than Nketiah
  10. It doesn't help that these are kids surrounded by adults telling them consistently how amazing they are and bending to every whim. Though it's not an excuse as it takes a special kind of wrongun to do this.
  11. I'm an advocate for personal responsibility, one thing that annoys me about a lot of what happens these days. However, from the outside looking in its easy to say just leave and frustrating when you see it happening to a loved one, but it's never that simple. Most of these relationships start out perfect and psychologically people are chained to that, not to mention the actual gas lighting that makes them doubt everything about themselves. Everyone has a breaking point and we can't judge people on our own breaking points, especially on experiences we've never had to endure. That being said, I hope (and I'm basing this on the evidence at hand) he goes away for a long time and never has the chance to work in professional football again.
  12. Sounds like the perfect pairing for Schar, hopefully that's how Eddie sees it too.
  13. I reckon it'll be a CB and 2 loans at this point. Hopefully an AM and a ST
  14. I'm presuming we have to wait for the stock market to open on Monday for this to be announced then?

    Jesse Lingard

    We stay up, we could get him on a free anyway, we take him now on reasonable terms and we've played them twice already there's a chance we take points from teams around them. The only person that's affected by their stance is Lingard and after 22 years at the club he deserves to do what he wants, they clearly don't want him so paying his wages to sit the rest of the season out is nonsensical.
  16. Ah man, if you can't keep your cool in a training match what hope have you got? Not even a backup option anymore he's become a real liability.
  17. I've never been so excited for a player I've never heard of, a bit of Dennis Wise scouting though and I'm really impressed with how he reads the game. He has so many attributes that we are missing in midfield, he could really transform us.
  18. Strange strawman to take from that?
  19. It's the pattern that's worrying, NUFC want the player, the player wants to come, club moving goal posts/doesn't want to sell. The whole thing stinks.

    From what I've read Martial went on loan to Sevilla for free, they just had to pay his wages but man u quoted us £5m for the same loan. I think its obvious whats going on here.
  21. We're moving that far down the CB list we're not looking at an upgrade to Fede and Schar. Some of the names being banded around don't give me much hope tbh

    Diego Carlos

    Time wasters, the price has been bumped up several times now, we need to move on, only hope of this deal being done is if Carlos hands in a transfer request and they panic and agree to our last bid. Nearly 3 weeks wasted on high speed goal posts.

    That's how I'd read it too, then who gives a flying what kind of fee we pay for a loan?
