Holy smokes, that needs some paragraphs

Can add Brexit Jim to that list anarl

What’s your superstition based on ? For 41 years you’ve gone through that turnstile and we’ve won games, lost games, drawn games, been relegated and added precisely nowt to our trophy cabinet Be interested to know what you think might happen if you use a different one

Real Madrid away. Fucksake

Rubber all day long on a ZX Spectrum Alternative is to get on the C64 and furiously waggle my joystick until it snaps

Nah, I'll be sunning myself by a Mediterranean pool this weekend so not needed to try for any tickets But been keeping my F5 key bashing skills honed over the summer by playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon on an old ZX Spectrum Can't be starting a new season with my fingerblasting digit in sub-optimal condition

If Palace demand more than the upper limit that our bean counters and transfer committee think we should pay for him, then we move on We can't force Palace (or any club) to sell their asset and I trust NUFC to have made the right decision and not end up going daft inna Will Grigg stylee But for the Palace chairman to go on telly and publicly discuss what we believe is an ongoing transfer negotiation, well that's just wideboy antics. This wasn't his gaffer in a presser getting asked about the transfer, it was a premeditated media move Do your business behind closed doors you fucking spiv

SLAMS shut. It always SLAMS shut. It never just shuts

If I had to guess which of our players would want to live in a dessert it'd be Bruno the Kinder Beuno guzzler aka Sweet Tooth Guimaraes

and 99% of the time the crumb of news that sends people into a frenzy is just some Twatter bollocks that’s been posted by a journo or fake ITK for clicks n giggles

Giggs is in the starting line up too

Exactly. And £50-60m purchase negotiations take time but people on here get frustrated when they’ve read transfer rumours on Twatter and the player isn’t at Longbenton for a photo shoot 24 hrs later

I think most people appreciate this My point was that we now have a team of professionals who work at the club and will be analysing every deal. And I’m willing to trust the transfer decisions made by the club. If they’re happy with paying £60m for him, then I’m happy. Even if £40-50m feels like better value. Whereas other people on here don’t seem to trust that the club have the correct insight into player values, transfer funds and PSR and will have set an upper limit on the fee in accordance with those factors If we offered Palace £40m and they said yes, then happy days. But they said no, so we’re negotiating and if they want more than we’re willing to pay then I’m sure we’ll move on to another target

Get Alan involved in the deal and it'd be sorted in 30 seconds

Likewise, you're missing my point. I'm not saying spend anything that's needed to land the player. I'm saying NUFC now have a team of experts in place who will have calculated an upper limit on transfer fee for a player. And if the players club are willing sellers and the player wants to join us ahead of any other bidders and the price doesn't exceed our upper limit, then we'll do a deal If we have to walk away from a transfer on costs then so be it. If we sign a player then happy days, we've been able to afford whatever the fee was And if none of the above is happening, then we're fucked and I've got no idea what all these new corporate hires are here for

That's just basic negotiation though. We'll initially offer X, our limit is Y. If they want more than X we'll negotiate, if they want more than Y we'll walk away And our limit of Y will have been calculated on a combination of PSR, player value, player outgoings, commercial revenue generated etc etc And no-one posting on here has any idea what our financial limits are, either on total transfer kitty or for individual players

Do you think the expert bean counters at NUFC haven't considered PSR when lining up players and making offers ? There's absolutely no way that anyone has a better insight into our PSR position than the team of Accountants, Lawyers etc who work at the club

Wise man once say “bird in hand better than two in bush” No-one on this board has any knowledge of what we can or can’t afford to pay for players Who cares if we pay over the odds, it’s not your life savings they’re spending So just chill about the price and enjoy the ride

even more mental

Snazzy looking Vistajet chartered private jet from London (well Luton, but it's close enough) about to fly over Tynemouth and land in Newcastle We're trying to sign a CB from Crystal Palace, who are in London You do the math
