Hopefully that’s the end of the Tino talk…

Trafford in. Pope to Leeds’s today’s talk.

I don’t know neither of them It’s a no for me for Mbuemo and Guehi. Just feel spending that extravagantly will just lead us back to where we are now in a few years. Especially due to their wage demands. Nothing particularly critical of the players individually. Mbuemo I’ve talked about and been a fan of for years since he joined Brentford but ultimately that is when we should’ve been buying him. Guehi I’m more doubtful of but fully understand and respect our current scouting team when judging him. I’ve just not been impressed the handful of games I’ve seen him play.

30&30 for me. Scout properly not lazily.

Correct.

Might be 🤷🏼‍♂️

Was interesting at the time those who’d seen both all said Barella was a much better player than Tonali. Is that still the case? Not seen very much of Barella overall.

Prices always depend on supply and demand. If we were the only show in town then maybe the fee remains at £20m. If others are wanting him then the bidding war begins. Regardless of contract length.

Wonder which side he’ll be playing for if any

Ramsdale… Can picture the fume in here already

Our recent windows have freed up money for a few decent fees but for the established players that elevate instantly there will always be issues competing with wages for the foreseeable future. We’d need to make top 5 year in out for a while which will be difficult.

If it’s any crumb of comfort we might have a few more Sunday games with being in Europe. Not loads though with it being UCL.

Villa and Everton own the land their grounds currently built on perhaps? NUFC don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tricky one in your situation. Personally I’ve sacrificed career and salary my entire life so I’m never in a position where I can’t go to a game when I want to. You might actually be better off paying more for the Mags+ and for the extra £10 I believe you get better/more regular discount of merchandise I think so over the 12 months you’d claw it back at least if your into your NUFC clothing etc. Until capacity increases I can’t see any other benefit for you if only applying a couple of times a year as your chances are slim even having 19 attempts. There’s a membership discussion/workshop in the next few weeks involving fans similar to yourself feeling underwhelmed so hopefully some positive change might happen in time for 25/26. It be nice if even a dozen away tickets were put in a members ballot even. If they improve the identification process for members. The club is trying to grow its domestic and international fan clubs so I wouldn’t get hung up on seeing a few Italian fans at a game together as a negative.

It is but with the club stating success rate was to be expected at % (can’t remember % but whatever 2-3 games is from a full season) then if you’ve had no joy all season going into the last week/chance of the season I’d of rang the box office to highlight this… You never know what odd pity ticket they might have lying around on occasions. The last thing they’ll want is people being able to confirm they are 0/19 in the league and 0/whatever home cup games we got. They’d want to at least guarantee 1 IMO. However looking at @gdm @Novocastrian replies they’ve only put in for a couple of ballots which explains why they’ve had 0% success so in that case the box office have no case to answer.

Not as quick as Vardy…

Thought you were joking the first time you mentioned it. You can’t take someone back that’s been plotting behind your back. I know it’s a grown up world but in footballing terms that’s a line you can’t cross.

Thomas Spring.

Exactly. Two very different things. However people just hear what they want to hear at times

Our stadium is falling to bits and only two thirds the size of it. Their next one will be twice the size. We’ve not looked like winning the league for 20+ years. Wages for average players just an added attraction rather than a negative from a players perspective. Not sure how invested majority of players are in coaches. Our owners are hated in a different way worldwide. As much as I don’t like anyone losing their jobs it does sound like a cull was needed when you’ve body language experts on £175kpy! Yet they still nearly won a European trophy after winning a domestic cup in each of their last two seasons. I do hear your points and obviously they are nowhere where they were. However let’s not forget where we were less than 4 years ago. Will take a while before perceptions change.

Also… Man Utd not in that much of a mess.

Hopefully a reminder to some how difficult this window will be regardless of funds and UCL.
