  1. Newcastle is a sporting director graveyard. Might be the reason.
  2. I don't even think it's a guarantee we reinvest that money. You might just see the return of the dividends.
  3. Give it time lad. It's his first season under two managers and two systems. I agree to be fair, but if he is to go, that's an insane amount of money for someone who is 31 in a few months. I'd be devastated though.
  4. McTominay was in Serie A mate. Ashley Young and Darmian were dominant players there. Phillip Billing and Billy Gilmour have just won the league. The slow pace of the league suits powerful players like McTominay. I'm happy for him, but he's certainly not a top level player in the Premier League.
  5. Rings very true. Once again seems to be opposition fans thinking Ugarte hasn't been good for us for some reason, when in reality his partnership with Casemiro is the only reason we made the Europa League final. Man United fans pretty much unanimously agree that not starting Ugarte in the final was a huge mistake. Dropping Bruno deep was strange.
  6. Also a good chance they're being cunts and buying Delap to sell Delap. He's worth more than £30m in this market, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea sell him next summer for £45m.
  7. Chelsea only have Jackson as a striker don't they? They'll be in 4 competitions next season. Delap will get plenty of playing time and he probably backs himself to take over the starting role from Jackson.
  8. Report from extremely unreliable Daily Mail (again) journalist = Man United drowning in Saudi riches, apparently.
  9. Another shit Daily Mail journalist. He doesn't have a clue. £100m would be nice. No Bruno Fernandes not so nice.
  10. I think Amad is being looked at as a RWB. Could be wrong. His versatility means he'll play wherever need though. Mbeumo would be a good signing no matter what mind, but I don't think we'll get him over CL clubs. There's something I really don't like with Mateta as well. I want 2020 Cavani back for a year.
  11. No idea who Garnacho would go to. There hasn't been much noise. It could be hard to shift him for what we think he's worth. Chelsea have an obligation to buy Sancho for £25m. They have to pay us £5m to break that clause. Rashford will be tricky aye. He met with Barcelona representatives yesterday apparently, but I can't see how they afford him. Think it's likely we pay a portion of his wages for the duration of his contract whether he leaves or not.
  12. Sounds like we've enough for one more decent signing, then it's reliant on sales. Garnacho/Rashford/Sancho out and the budget is big as that would be well over £100m, with two of them pure profit. Antony has a £32m book value I believe so I'd say it's extremely unlikely he's sold and will probably just go out on loan again with full salary coverage.
  13. The Delap stuff had actually went a bit cold for us. He maybe told us right away he wasn't interested. Aside from Cunha the only other player being mentioned at the minute from anyone with any credibility is Mbuemo.
  14. Ornstein confirming Delap to Chelsea.
  15. Fixtures out at 09:00 on June 18th.
  16. They needed a local phone number to download the app, so the locals helped them out. Great bunch of lads. The desperation to make us look bad is really quite something. Hated, adored, never ignored etc.
  17. Nine Premier League clubs in top 20 richest in Europe, report says - The Athletic https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6388655/2025/05/28/premier-league-clubs-value/
  18. 100%. Funny enough, Cunha has some of the best defensive stats among forward players in the Premier League. The walking stat just shows he conserves his energy well.
  19. All of this stuff is the norm. It's fairly pathetic journalism. Shameful from the BBC that the character assassination on Cunha has begun before he's even joined us. Any wonder some of these young lads crumble under the scrutiny.
  20. Paying transfers in instalments is yet another thing not exclusive to Man United. @David Edgar Banter club. Newcastle United player agents waiting on overdue payments owed by the club - The Athletic https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6001208/2024/12/20/newcastle-agent-payments/
  21. They'll really dig up any old stat to try and make us look bad. Team of the year as a Wolves player, but when it looks like he's moving to Man United - "oh look how much he walks though." Expecting the BBC to show us what porn he watches next.
  22. Pennies. Not even worth two Paul Mitchell contracts.
  23. Of course. We don't have Saudi money to deal with embarrassing sporting director mistakes. Have to make it up somewhere.
