    Morning, just popping back to say that I don’t think you should be to sorry to have missed out on this one.

    I said before that i was happy to see Pedro leave and was hoping he would go to Chelsea not NUFC as I think he is more likely to disappoint and given that Chelsea see us as their (very expensive!) feeder club and they’re just a horrible club with the most ignorant  and entitled  fans, it’s worked out well. 
    I suspect NUFC will be able to make better use of £60M elsewhere.

     

    Best wishes and I hope you have a great season!

    I like the cut of this man's (presumption 😉) jib

    I agree we have to go for it, I just think no matter what we feasibly do we won't be challenging for the title. 

     

    But let's park that, it's all good to disagree on such points. 

     

    If we manage to bring in Say Elanga, João Pedro, Trafford and a top centre half consider me happy. 

     

    I'd blow my load. 

  3. Apart from the fact he's a bit "handsy" I think he's a tremendous player. Reached this level he's at now, however, by leaving. It may have been reluctantly by both him and the club but you're deluded if you think his progression would've been the same if he'd stayed. 

     

    I mean, it's ridiculous to disregard him playing a full season in a team having a dream season who, not to be dismissed either, play an entirely different way to us. No way would he be where he's at now if he hadn't gone AND to Forest, for that matter.

    That yellow for Anderson man, thats what VAR should be used for. Dutch player diving, no contact on review one game ban. Would stop a lot of the play acting. 

    He'd already done two swipes of his hand/arm that didn't get the booking they might have. 

    Also, don't forget, he should've got a red against us for slapping The Juice in the face. 

     

    Bit of a dirty cunt 😂😂😂

    I'd imagine so, unless there's a clause within a clause. Clauseception, homes

    Aye, I was thinking that. Both clubs get fuck all. Unless there's some clause whereby the player has to get his new club to pay the sell on fee to the previous?

    Still be a bargain 😂

  6. Daft question, or is it? What's the crack if a player signs for a team with a sell on clause and then, subsequently, runs their contract down and leaves for nowt? 

    Previous club in the mud?

    O'nien could seriously hurt someone. He's a reckless snidey player to cover his inadequacies, and will be so out of his depth in the PL his recklessness could be dangerous.

    He also does horrible things like kissing opposition players and laughing about it.

    There's a clip of him on youtube jumping on someone's back after he had been done for pace (not unusual for him) and that was in the lower leagues.

     

    I like the lad [emoji38]

    Howe has previously said every window that we are skint because of PSR tbf, where as this window he's said PSR isn't the issue it was for us.

     

    Let them lose their shit man [emoji38] I'm more than happy to wait and see and, if it all goes Pete Tong, listen to them all shout "told you" 

     

     

    I get the frustration, I guess, but the pecking order is clearly set. Big guns are shopping first. Feeder clubs lining up cheaper replacements for their own, soon to be snaffled up players, whilst the Wanabees wait.......patiently

    Beauty is in eye of the beholder and all that. But I'll argue it's not perfect for football either, it's lopsided, outdated and was criminally left to rot for 14 years of its recent history

     

    The location is perfect. The heritage of the site stirs up emotion. But the stadium itself is a Frankenstein's monster

     

    And if I want to see T-Swizzle, I'll invite her round to mine for a sleepover

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Even if they could match the East Stand with the rest of the stadium they'd still have to, absolutely, gut the innards of the current ground. As you say it's not perfect for football either.

     

    Went to the concourse for a beer, pre Olivia Dean, and ended up in a horrific queue. Small set up, by the wall, selling water etc for cash only. Usual bar/food counter rammed. To cope with the extra they'd set up a temporary bar, by the window, serving Madri.

     

    I'm in this queue. People walking through the queues to get from A to B

     

    I'm "this is a bit carnage, this like"

     

    Bloke next to me "Aye, mind it's no surpise when you see who's behind the bar"

     

    So, this temp set up is staffed by black and brown fellas.

     

    Me "what do you mean? That's a temp bar so they've got temp staff in?"

     

    Him "well, they should have the regular staff in"

     

    Me "they're probably out there, mate" pointing to the arena "or away back home from Uni. Who else is going to do it for 4 hours minumum wage?? Anyway, have you seen how fucking slow that beers's pouring?"

     

    He did say "fair point, well made" but was, clearly, a tad racist

     

    Thing is it's fucking shit on the concourses on match day as well.

    Morning to you too Hog, not feeling the need for people to be allowed an alternative view?

     

    The comment is more in relation to squaring off the club’s constant briefing about the “Saudi Tax” and stated desire to build a squad, with simultaneously shopping heavily in the £60m Harrods league of transfer pools.

     

    I back Eddie to get it right with the players he does bring in but I do have a fear that unless we’re *slightly* more creative with squad strengthening, we’re going to run out of puff in December / January again like 23/24 due to spinning the budget wholly on 2-3 players.

     

    Plenty of time in the window yet and hopefully they’ll pull some £25m overseas league wonders out the bag to be the next Bruno’s and Big Joe’s.

     

    P.s - snapped one of your pals this morning on the dog walk - first I’ve seen down this way that hasn’t been mullered on a road:

    Be a Mum that hedgehog, more than likely, grabbing some scran before getting back to the brood. 

     

     

    Fair doos on the other, incidental, stuff 😉

    Good morning to you too - what have I said that you deem "thick"

     

    Ah, so it wasn't a wind up? I'm just confused as to how this "lazy" "non-exiting" scouting network found Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Minteh, Osula, Cordero, Shahar, Salia etc etc if they only "target EPL experience"??

     

    I mean it's a ridiculous conclusion to come to, especially when you've no idea who we're actually scouting and ignore the links to foreign players anyway.

     

     

    ps morning comrade 

  12. 5 minutes ago, Menace said:

    Kudus is overrated, Elanga is effective. Haven't seen enough of the Monaco right winger. The thought of spending £50-60M on Kudus/Elanga is still nuts to me personally. Our scouting network is lazy if we're just targeting EPL experience.

    Changed it for you.

     

    These two a WUM tag team or just thick?

    Best captain since Shearer though, hopefully he comes back aids free and gets his place back, top form Trips is something else

     

    He is like. One of THE best players I've seen in B&W.

    He doesn't have to but he has actually said it. Obviously he does what he wants, he's a grown man. To treat the mother of his kids like this is pretty poor form in anyone's book. He doesn't exactly hide his behaviour either. I only commented on what was, in my opinion, an awful outfit but what the fuck do I know. Any one got a time machine? 😄

     

    In my mid 20's I had these mint dog tooth check pants. Lush they were. First night wearing them out with the watch and I got pelters. Then, ever after.

     

    "yee wearing ya chef's pants the neet?"

     

    Tripps can wear wtf he likes [emoji38][emoji38]
