Who would match what the Saudis are willing to pay him though? Would he have entertained a move elsewhere if the wages didn't compete with the offer he accepted?

Obviously played a huge part in this club surviving in the PL, and therefore a part in this club in 2023 competing in the Champions League. Gutted about where he has gone, he’ll make great money but a man of his talent should be competing in far better leagues. Fuck FFP.

Does anyone know who the bloke is far left? I feel like I know him but I can’t place who he is.

aaronscott020 going balls on the bath, now left hoping that Wraith can not distinguish him from the other 19 aaronscott's on Twitter and take him to court.

Three men arrested on suspicion of affray, and another arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit criminal damage.

How do you define fair market value? Length of contract remaining + how the player is performing, how his fitness is? It becomes opinion anyway, I don't think anything could come of it even if we sold him for £80m. The fact that the figure seems to be around the £25m mark shows we are willing to play well within the rules. Weird little courtroom OBJECTION for other clubs to make for the sake of making it.

I’d be surprised if anything ever stood up when it comes to fair value for players. Not sure why they’re bothering to kick up a fuss about it when they have a 14 year head start and weren’t interested in the integrity of the league when they were guaranteed top 4 every year.

This gang were probably a second max away from killing John Sayers outside his home last year. Don’t know the full ins and outs but there were a few reasonably big headlines last year of businesses being hit, seemed like it had calmed down but as a guess it seems like Wraith has somehow riled it up.

Is that normal like? Pearson finger banged before he even steps foot on American soil, makes me think Mike got off way too lightly when he came to Newcastle.

His video at the NX for an England game had me in absolute stitches.

Definitely think he will elevate his performances with some Howe coaching and become a real fan favourite here over the next few years.

I think it’s the right decision to let him go but not overly happy it’s to a Saudi club. I’m sure it’s great financial terms for him but footballing wise it’s a shocker. If it goes through, it’s absolutely vital the squad sees the benefit to it with the correct reinforcements, there can be no excuses.

May be treated the same as sponsorships when it comes to what the authorities deem as fair value, I guess.

"Sandro, pleasure to have you with us. A lot has been said about your ability and what you can add to this team, can you tell us if pineapple belongs on a pizza?"

Sometimes I somehow forget how well sculpted Fab is, this has been one of those times.

I may have to have a proper sit down and think about it, but he may now be the best looking gent in the squad. Thoughts boys?

Does Tonali have the dog in him or no? I feel like he does.

When your league is all rigged and the Toon make a bid, that’s.. Tonali.

Was half listening to a podcast earlier where they were saying Mbappe doesn’t want to play as a central pivot. Just say striker. Fucking football hipsters

Tonali doesn’t want to leave Milan? The deal seems quite far along at this early stage of the window, you’d think he’d dig his heels in that bit more.

Came on for Given when he pulled his groin against Spurs and played the full game after.

Signs for us by the middle of next week on a 5 year deal I reckon.
