Let’s hope this guy isn’t the usual Twitter bullshit merchant.

It’s pretty clear, yes the player is moving here for the money and so what if he is?

Because we are the only ones offering triple his salary at present?

I would say ASM does more tricks but HBA was more direct.

Cracking post, his weakness is indeed his unwillingness to modernise in terms of club management.

Is Monchi still there? Can we sign him if he is?

Also, absolutely nothing to suggest he is mind.

He’s asking for a fortune, maybe this is the marque signing people are referring too? he’s obviously got all the talent in the world but I’m pretty sure it would turn out to be a disaster for us

I’m no fan of Howe but categorically stating what he may or may not do is a hit naive.

Aye we have no scouting system so given the manager a big input is a byproduct of that. It’s frustrating but I think everyone is trying to cobble up something to keep us afloat. Hopefully things improve when the football structure is put into place. The one things that’s clear is huge investment is needed in every area.

I think dropping him is fine, I think stripping him of the captaincy would be stupid and counter productive. If he’s on the bench he doesn’t get the armband, that should be Wilson imo.

Pretty sure the Hazard one is complete bullshit.

I’m not sure I would say they are yesterdays men mind. I get the point your making though the level of success the enjoyed previously hasn’t been the same recently. I wouldn’t rule them out yet, but any future achievements they have should be put in to context. The richest clubs are likely to continue to dominate and it’s unlikely we will see them hire top down managers such as Rafa or Jose.

Disagree, Rafa took us on when we were at a very Low ebb, nothing to suggest he’s over egotistical about the clubs he takes over. will he find this kind of club? That remains to be seen but he’d be a fantastic appointment for any Ho hum who would back him the way he needs.

Disagree on the agent point. I’m pretty sure agents have been on the phones none stop. We are a payday/bag holder waiting to happen.

Fingers crossed the other is a CM and we can get both of these in.

Not to defend some of the horrible takes I’ve read but this reportedly isn’t the case. Diego Carlos wants to come, as does Botman.

Rafa needs another NUFC. A club that he can go into who respects his achievements for what they are and given the freedom to do his job. Once he finds such a club he will absolutely fly and overachieve.

The fact the source for Real Madrid news is in Catalan should tell you all you need to know.

He’s the third wheel is Jones. Only still in a job because the owners insisted.

Dembele will sign for PSG in the summer I reckon.

Long passing is bread and butter for any top level central midfielder like. You could argue he has an eye for a pass but then I look at his assist and key passes and it also doesn’t seem to add up.
