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

Leverkusen are ditching their Castore contract a few years early because of supply and quality issues Villa and Wolves have also sacked off their Castore contracts now too

Kept Castore ? Absolutely no way For starters there’s the millions of billions of dolla dolla bills we’re getting from Adidas to make our kits versus the tuppence happeny Castore were giving us

He’s busy keeping the faith

Fucking Twatter man I’d believe Jay off Inbetweeners before I believed the daft cunts who post on the Twatter Someone needs to take Twatter to the middle of the Amazon jungle and fire a dart into it that’s been laced with frog poison, then watch it die a rapid painful death It’s the fucking pits man. Literally one of the worst things ever invented, along with Facebook

You can't transfer an ST if you've already bought a ticket on the membership you want to transfer the ST to. Got round it last season by getting the ST transferred to the account of a mutual friend who had a membership but wasn't buying a ticket for that match. Then they just forwarded the ticket email to me

That happened to me on my iphone last week and again on one of my browsers this week When I eventually got let in it chucked me straight out to the back of the queue

I'm 1200 and the "estimated time of arrival / people in front of you" are both going down at a snails pace Summats not right

I love sarcasm. I've devoted my life to the art of it. I even got my middle name changed by deed poll so I'm now officially called Robert Sarcasm Dazzla. But even a lifelong sarky twat like me can't even work out what's piss taking and what real in these transfer threads. People are concerned that a transfer that was rumoured on Twatter by a journo a couple of days ago hasn't been concluded yet. And naturally the only plausible reason for this immense delay is because we've been gazumped. The mind boggles.

A thousand acceptances

It's that apostrophe being in the wrong place that baffles me

Miniature compared to the size of Virgil Van Dijk’s cymbal

Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal

Fuck the stats man We’re trying to sign England’s current first choice CB and people are lobbing stats about rather than just enjoying the moment Do the amateur stat nonces on here not think the actual real life professional paid to be stat nonces scouts at NUFC will have assessed the stats in great detail and are happy enough with that assessment to agree that he’s a player we should be trying to sign

the stat & finance nonces will suck the joy out of anything they couldn’t even enjoy a wank without assessing the aerial ability of the arc of spunk as it hits the Kleenex and the FFP implications of paying for the copy of Razzle

If the bean counters are confident we won't break finance rules then who gives a shite what we're paying Why scrat around in the yellow sticker whoopsie aisle at Heron Foods when you've easily got enough money to shop at Waitrose
