Aye. He has the inside line to Henry Mauriss. He’s an antagonistic asshole.

We are just following due process. Given our position it’s hard to get things done quickly as players maybe holding out for more offers and such.

Match fixing anyone?

Aye definitely. Seems to have a relationship with every agent under the Sun. Ornstein is also someone who is highly accurate.

On the price thing it’s likely we are hearing one quote the total all clauses met and one quoting the up front figure. Nobody wants to lose face.

Aye him and Di Marzio are like the gold standard.

On paper it certainly is difficult but that removes a lot of context. we have gone from having a “manager” who was a total layabout, no acumen at all with regards to football management to having someone who is actually good at what they do. we have gone from an owner who sucked the life out of the club to a group of owners who want to make us one of the best clubs in the world. we have a fanbase which was paralysed by apathy to a fanbase who are roaring the lads on. If we get our targets we will escape relegation easily.

I’m sure I read Lingard is staying out until the summer at the earliest.

Us padre, us.

So it either goes badly with us and he gets to move again in summer or it goes well. I doubt Lille will accept a loan for him or Milan could match the wages we could offer him. it should be understood that money is the decision making factor here, money talks bullshit walks.

I was just thinking how the players not wanting to join us doesn’t actually make much sense. If we were to buy say a botman then it’s basically a risk free move for him he would likely get a massive pay rise and if we were to get relegated he would have his pick of clubs due to a release clause. To most players this is a great situation pay bump plus a signing on fee with another one to come if we are relegated?

No, not worried yet.

At least, time to put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Hope the leak hasn’t come from our side though.

What a first signing this will be. Great way to kick off a new era.

Stuart James - never heard of him personally.

One season in the championship won’t destroy us under ffp. We have so much potential to raise revenue regardless and this isn’t even including the potential loopholes. if the PIF are in this for the long haul we have nothing to worry about.

Welcome to Newcastle United Lucas Digne

The Athletic have a piece up about our prospective window which I find a bit bizarre. they are talking about the risks of over spending and release clauses and being stuck with players but none of that actually matters right? Even if we were to get relegated you would imagine the kitchen sink would be thrown at it to get us back to the premier league thus rendering it moot. as long as PIF are on board money isn’t actually an issue only FFP is.

Ritchie and Krafh to Trippier and Digne.. yes please

We haven’t even been linked with him. This wouldn’t even make the brain dead Twitter thread

Trippier hopefully. He also said Botman is keen too.

They got him for free, consider his salary his cut of what a transfer fee would have been.

All of those are good but we’re mismanaged and not bought as part of any larger plan the lack of long term strategy at man utd which has what hurt them imo.

It’s been reported already it’s unlikely this is sorted before the end of January.
