Hopefully Saudi Arabia fund the appeal- shine a light on the corruption.  I cannot see how its ok for Sheikh Mansour to own Man City but MBS can't own Newcastle.  Qatar clearly have had a say.

Clearly Joelinton is a better player than what we saw last season. Thrown up front on his own asked to be Andy Carroll, what did anyone expect.

 

He did miss chances that a striker should be scoring but he’s not a striker and we basically created fuck all for him all season anyway.

 

With others getting forward and creating space, he will look a different player, also with the benefit of having a year to settle in.

 

I haven’t given up on him yet.

Wilson, Joelinton, ASM, Almiron & Fraser....should have some goals in them next season. You certainly won’t playing all of them at once so we have at least one decent attacking option off them bench.

I think Joelinton is going to relish having a target man up front with him.  Think we'll see a different player this season.

 

Are you suggesting that we might play with some sort of tactics?

I wouldn't go that far - playing with a striker will be more similar to his role at Hockenheim.  So I think we'll see an improvement but lets face it the bench mark from last season is quite low..

Is this lad having a medical?

One of my favourite players. Gonna be weird seeing him play for Everton.

He's class - totally jealous.

How old is he?

Going to throw this out there:

 

Ashley has backed every single manager bar KK during their first full summer transfer window. In fact his failings seem to occur in the windows thereafter.

 

Discuss

Bruce gets money because he’s likely playing super nice with Ashley and not calling him out in public or behind closed doors like Rafa likely did

Bruce is Ashley's Man

It's just the usual noise atm. 

I think everyone agrees Wilson is an upgrade on what we've got

 

Bringing Shola out of retirement would be an upgrade on what we've got

Have never cared less about results.

Did we already cover the fact that Ashley STILL has all of the club employees on furlough and we are the ONLY club in the Premier League doing that? He is such a c*nt.

Should never have been allowed - not a football club.

If this deal was going to happen it'd be done by now.

We need to face the reality that we're stuck with Ashley for the foreseeable future.

It’s reading stuff like this that makes me so sad, angry and frustrated

 

 

They didnt block the takeover?

Just buried it under a ton of cement.

Still can’t stomach the appetite for this season.

 

The thought of a relegation with Bruce and his clueless, ugly, thick face driving it. The alternative? A ‘successful’ season of finishing 14th, limping to cup exits and watching absolutely dire football whilst Bruce is lauded by some form of magician.

 

Utterly fucking depressing.

 

I’m clinging to the small, but possible, chance of a takeover. Even if it’s not PIF, I’d roll the dice and take anyone at this stage, just for a bit of fucking hope.

It's zero chance mate - the only thing I am looking forward to is the chance of Messi playing in the PL.  I am hoping fans aren't allowed back at all season so I can get my money back - yes I am idiot renewing.

I am so sick of this shit - lets just face reality we're stuck with MA.  It's not happening- move on.

Nice to see everyone else having so much fun.

Ha yeah....It just feels like what could have been.  It's just too depressing.

Seeing Messi destroy us would frankly be an honour.

I would love to see him in the Premier League.

We need to delete this thread and forgot this every happened.  We're stuck with MA - it's just a fact.

Could have had Messi if this buyout had happened - can't be many clubs who'll be able to afford his wages.

..I will take my coat.

Yeah, I’ve said in the past that I don’t believe they will have truly walked away, this was a ploy to put pressure on the Premier League. Some have said it’s worked.

It would suit all parties for them to be continuing talks in the background without any press coverage.

The next we’ll hear of it is when it’s done.

PL haven't flinched though - not answered a single question.  IMO they never had any intention of approving it and that hasn't changed.

 

Good thread on him here

 

So he’s worse than all our current midfielders.

Callback replacement? 

Howay Bayern batter 'em.

 

Honestly, after all the bullshit sticking their noses into our takeover I want the Qatari's to be embarrassed tonight

I want PSG to win as think it'll stir PIF to come back.
