Come on Eddie get Hackett and Turner-Cooke on ffs.

Fair point, i don't think we'll be in the business of selling our best players as a tactic say, which seems to be the thrust of the conversation. However at some point we will sell one of our better players, every club does even the biggest. Now if that's because of an offer so good you can't turn it down, as disappointing as that will be you know this club will now put that money back into the team. Or for the players dream move as you've mentioned. I suppose Andy Cole being a good example of where KK saw that opportunity to sell to evolve, obviously things are a tad different now but the crux of it is along those lines for me, selling for a reason, and for us in the coming years that we'll be our evolution imo.

Are you being a bit pedantic like ? I'm looking back and i can't find a post that says we will have to sell for no real reason in the near future (apologises if i've missed it). Looks to me like people are describing a plethora of decisions that we might sell in the future, a player wants to move for a new challenge, our manager falls out with a player, or we get an offer we can't refuse, and that money goes back into the team to reinvest, to evolve etc. Personally I'm of the opinion that we're all over thinking things as we see a fantastic future, one rather alien to us for such a long time so we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves. I myself would rather live in the moment and not look too far ahead, it's been so so long waiting to finally enjoy the football club again, I'm going to do that for a bit like.

As a player who's settled overseas himself, and is our most senior player, he was probably asked to be there. We just can't get our head around just how professional we're now run, added to the way Eddie has the squad looking after and out for each other. It's amazing how far we've come in such a short space of time. This is our club now

I don't think we're going to sell ASM for instance, we know we need another forward and i doubt we'll be able to buy one after Tonali and Barnes (if we sign him). I reckon ASM, Joel and Gordon offer options as back strikers, deep forwards or whatever, using them when needed saving us buying a striker to back up Isak and Wilson. Just a hunch like, but that scenario gives plenty of cover on both wings and cover up top. Eddie can mix and match as he see fits.

Can't spread the deal for more than 5 years now, so £60m would be £12m a year for the 5 years. Iirc.

The fella in the white shirt in the video greeting Tonali, he appears in all the photo's when we win, is he security or something ? He's defo living his best life whatever his job is

I much prefer this way. The journo's know feck all and just guess or spread whatever dumb rumour they've heard or made up, and as frustrating as it is to not hear much, i like the approach giving nowt away. You can be certain Ashworth and the rest are working hard to bring players in, and not just for numbers. It's not just a position we look for, it's the players personality, the no dickhead rule is a major factor in our recruitment. I love the way we do things now, even if it's slower and you hear very little on whom we may be after.

The word Cunt is by far the worst word on the English language, but those 3 (Pardew, Bruce and Carver) were the epitome of it, with a papers width between Pardew and Bruce sitting upon top of the cunt tree.

Woo, well this is unusual

Fuck debating anything to do with this wanker, this bloke was a full on cunt who blamed everyone but himself for shit performances.

As good as he is the Spuds hate factor will go up yet higher, they dive about enough as it is, but with him added to it, by jove it'll be off the scale now.

Yellow ticker on SSN now.

The stick is only fun mate, it's never personal so please never take it that way. It's good to have a fans view from another team, especially a team like your own, and with Maldini being my utter hero in football means a AC soft spot i've always had and will always have.

We were really miffed though.

I can't believe what is happening to us, we never get nice things but were are

Have you been watching Pat McAfee

Don't give two shites how tough the start is, we ain't mugs no more, and those teams will be worried about us.

The perfect response

Nah not having it, I shall stay pessimistic.....but it sounds so.....oh oh but..

Do any of you really believe the utter arse gravyness spewed about Shola, i mean his football ability aside and the Ashley coin being taken. Do you actually think that Dan Ashworth and the rest of the now very professional members of our now superbly run club, look as Shola and think, he's doing a crap job but we'll leave him in place to bumble along. While we go about getting this club to very top, we'll leave a village idiot in charge of a very important job, or leave him in his role and just bypass him ? He'd be gone ffs, jettisoned in the abyss, so to speak. You actually think Ashworth, Eales, and the rest of them haven't looked at Shola, vetted and interviewed him when they did a full review of the club from top to bottom, and then LEFT him in the clearly vital role to our future because he's useless ? Or maybe they actually think he will do a great job ? I suppose time will tell, but by christ the utter pap about what he does in his job is mental.
