Like a new signing

who cares there's only 1 more year that matters anyway

Football365 tore that apart, apparently all goals in added on time count as luck apparently

Nah, should be moat, Ashley is building a moat round st james park to keep the fans out

For the record don't actually believe that

Best of luck to him, absolute beast in the championship for us, still don't quite understand why he missed so many sitters in premier league but regardless, great signing for them.

Other alternative is Rafa has told him to let it be known that he is available via his agent, get a huge bid lined up, then use the promised influx of funds to negotiate transfer funds from ashley, then tell lascelles to delay and confuse negotiations on the contracts so long that the transfer window shuts before he is actually sold

Big wage hike, leave behind a sinking ship of a club where he wasn't picked for the england squad? I can see it both ways. Reckon he'd stay if Rafa asked him to give him one more year, but when Rafa has to have least considered resigning and still maybe has the letter signed in his cabinet ready to produce if needed is he going to give him that talk?

Look there's always people who recommend you Nickleback at a party, or walk up and ask why Fast and the Furious films don't win oscars, or tell you Mrs Browns Boys is great. Bless them they're trying but they're just not paying attention enough and they're the ones who tune in once in a week to football, hear someone proper honest like richard keys slagging rafa who can't even speak english properly and will think, those guys don't like Ashley cos they're out of touch snowflake twats. (please don't take me too seriously)

We will sign noone else then day after window shuts ashley will issue statement saying he would have splashed out if Rafa didn't complain

Hope it's still all there when I get to toon later today

Also we shouldn't sell Lascelles for any money, he's too important to the team.

£80m for Maguire fucking hell. No way is he worth that, but I suppose Van Dijk set the precendent before the 'English Premium'. Still after Mourinhou was saying Pogba did well at the world cup because it's easy to motivate yourself and perform at a higher level at a cup he now buys a cb because he did ok at the world cup

Part of me also wonders if he's waiting till a total shit of a buyer comes along who will destroy us even worse just so he can sell to them at a discount price and then say in the press a year later LOOK I WASN'T SO BAD

But what's he doing with Brendan Rodgers?

If there is a £35m bid ashley will shove him out the door himself

Any news on the injury?

He'll get a discretionary permit, takes a bit of time but he's an international (albeit his lack of game time and the fact japan don't rank that high will count against him) but he is coming from one of the top leagues which is one of the other requirements.

Mutos quick and wants to run in behind defenders doesn't he? Sounds like gayle replacement more than perez, both could play with latter dropping back and doing the hold up work which he isn't that suited for really but don't see them as that similar from descriptions.

Because Mordor is much more difficult to draw. Why would you need to draw when you have photos?

Not trying to pick a fight or anything. But why do people time and time again expect Mike Ashley to act rationally? He will fuck the team over for no reason. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again. And he will do it again.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't use him as a stick to beat Mourinho with, albeit quite happy to beat Mourniho with a stick if given the chance. Whos got the better manager man u or liverpool is not very interesting.

Why would he ever trust Ashley? He ain't going to be bought off by him after being let down window after window.

It's been fucking obvious for ages he isn't going to sign a new contract and is unhappy (for good reason). Not sure why this is press news week in week out.
