Such a strong bench, man. I don’t get it… He’s not even trying.

Eze will be coming in instead of Gordon for sure.

Doesn’t even look like Gordon is warming up.

That’s yellow any day, let alone on a day you’re giving them for innocuous clashes. What a joker.

Christ Foden. That’s so brainless.

Gotta be offside?

Ref’s annoying.

Haven’t had a shot on target yet. Christ.

Handed the route to the final and Southgate fumbles it, as expected.

fuck me, man. Hate Southgate.

It’s astonishing how far the PL will go to destroy their own product just to appease the anointed ones. The whole thing stinks.

I think most sensible people know why this deal has come about. If anything we’re highlighting the absurdity of PSR rules that we’re having to pay actual money for a player of his ability as a makeweight to ensure we’re within the limits. I’m sure we’ll start seeing us going for our real targets after this stupid PSR deadline expires.

Nah, we see the bigger picture; PSR workarounds and all that jazz, but the fact is he’ll be a Newcastle player and we’re allowed to comment on his ability (or lack thereof ).

They’re so sick of him, man .

He doesn’t even do that either . Stuck to his line and can’t even save shots straight at him. At least he’s good with his feet right? Nope, horrible at that too.

Mate, it’s a toss-up whether he’s better than Gillespie. He’s nowhere near Trafford and shouldn’t even be our third choice goalkeeper in an ideal world. I sound like a broken record here but he’s genuinely an awful goalkeeper. Like truly, truly bad. Benfica would essentially go into a game expecting to be behind the first time a shot came to goal.

We’re not paying that for OV, surely? We’d be getting robbed blind for a quarter of that price. PSR or not, there’s favourable rates and then there’s just pure stupidity.

If I was a betting man I’d wager the price will be the 7m Forest need for the first installment of the Anderson fee (assuming it’s a 5 year deal).

He’s terrible, man . Genuinely can’t think of a worse keeper ever to have worn a Benfica shirt. Obviously a little bit of PSR shithousery going on here.

Ugh. I’m usually quite upbeat about transfers but this lad is pony (was shocking for Benfica). Looks like a favourable deal as a thank you for overpaying on Anderson.

Yikes, if true. Looked really bad for Benfica and is Forest’s 3rd choice goalie. Looks like they’re paying us more on Anderson just to get rid of this guy.

The previous page. Hope and Downie reporting it; one saying a player coming the other way the other saying just a straight deal.

I’d happily take both and close up shop for the window.

I’m confused. 35m for Anderson? That can’t be true .

Bad day at the office but he’s genuinely one of the hottest cb prospects in world football. Would be quite the statement signing imo.
