The pool of keepers in world footy is obviously smaller than outfield players, so if the club really like one now (Trafford or whoever) then I reckon go for it asap. Next summer there won't magically be a new group of regen keepers to pick from, it'll be the similar list of keepers to now or potentially worse - especially if Eddie is leaning UK based experience. Just get Trafford. Keep him for 10 years.

I know! Bad Rumour was that the player had chosen Newcastle as his destination. I don't know whether or not we showed interest.

If he hasn't already agreed to join, I hope we have another target now that Garcia proved to be a bad rumour. And be another target, I don't mean some uninspiring premier league shite like Ramsdale.

And so it begins.

100-120m isn’t nothing. That’s 3x40m players. also going by past comments, Howe doesn’t like adding too many each year window (if he wasn’t bullshitting)

I'm not a spreadsheet wanker. But I don't think the purpose of not spending in 3 windows was to build up to a big allowance. It was to balance the overspending we did. So I think the idea that we can spend massive just because we never spent for 3 windows, might not be correct. But as I say, I know fuck all about PSR.

I always thought it'd be more around 120m (with longstaff sale). How many times have a team spent $250 in a window? seems doubtful.

I thought we were moving fast. What the fucks going on?!

Even if this fella was a Mitchell target, the club would be daft to dismiss it just for that reason. As long as we get either this guy or Trafford, think we're in safe hands.

I get that! Just would have been nice to spend less.

Whatever has happened, I look forward to Eddie being involved in who replaces Mitchell. Just so we as fans can avoid whats going on at board level. Too much fucking drama. I hope Eddie doesn't identify a complete yes man tbh, but why wouldn't he I suppose.

Would have loved to have gotten Tino and Hall for less like. But that goes for every player really.

We’re not gonna plug all the holes in one summer. If we’re buying established prem players, then it’s gonna take multiple windows.

All the drama aside, its canny funny that Eddie came out from a serious illness suggesting he needs to manage his obsessiveness towards work for his own health. Is now Coach and Sporting director

I rate them. My go to for NUFC related youtube content.

She lost her job for reason. Need to move on.

Both are true.

I'm fine with this if it's sustainable i.e. not being pressured to sell to prevent a pts deduction. You need a money man in there I think.

Our transfer window just got even more interesting. With Mitchell and Howe working together, I was expecting a mix of incomings in terms of value. Will we continue with players around the 40m mark like we have in the past. Do we go for unearthing gems. Will it be a mix? Eddie's request to be quick in the market, doesn't make sense given how long we fucked about with Guehi. Was that Mitchell? Guess we'll find out.

People in this thread are spinning the club dropping a PSR bollock as a positive.

Again, Eddie mentions the PSR fuck up in almost every interview as being massively negative.

What pisses me off to some degree is just how much men in football are a bunch of big babies that can't work together. Every time they move club, they bring in their own people otherwise it won't work. Imagine if that happened in everyday jobs.

Eddie has bemoaned it ever since it happened. Don't we want whats best for Eddie?

Other than the PSR fuck up. Sure.

I’ve always liked the idea of having someone to push back on some of Eddies ideas on recruitment. Not necessarily to pour cold water on every target, but in that two minds are better than one. also, to have someone there to butt in with a ‘but…psr’ when someone gets carried away.
