Fucking hope this is

What’s trying to say? That this how he got his name? Doing the bot-man?

A bit ‘ropey’ from Willington ?

Saw this quote, from article interviewing the general manager of Heerenveen where Botman was on loan pre-Lille: ‘… he’s considered “one of the quickest players at recovery sprints in Europe”, busting the myth that he lacks pace.’ Suddenly feeling optimistic again! https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2022/06/28/ajax-chief-sends-exciting-message-to-newcastle-united-fans-ahead-of-sven-botmans-arrival/

Snap!

I’m sorry. It’s been a nerve wracking day ?‍♂️

If it was Spurs quality. It’d be a reluctant but definite yes from me.

Fair points. And let’s face it, we’ll all forgive him if he signs and looks half decent. If he doesn’t we’ll have forgotten about him by the time the season starts.

Yep, .com list a Telegraph rumour.

Unfortunately, for us, there is very little comparable between the two.

Feels like we’ve been waiting, one way it another, for stuff all day. Only thing, bar an anomaly in the medical, which springs to my (hopefully unnecessarily worrying…) worrying mind that may require a manager sit down talk, pre-signing, is some sort of guaranteed minutes/first choice conversation. Doubt that would be Howe’s kind of thing.

Starting to feel uncomfortable about this. I know it has been a full on day in some parts of the club, but it hardly impacts on doing an interview video and taking a few stills. Even if the handshake with the boss is last on the list surely they could have knocked something out in 24 hours.

I loved watching Solano. Bet he was a great team mate too.

I have no absolutely no recollection of Wayne Quinn ?‍♂️

Is Howe a ‘we set up this way and let the opposition cope with it’ kind of manager, or a ‘different formations and tactics for different opposition’ type? If latter then Wood may still be a sometimes starter (all based on Eddies’s rating of him).

I’ve just seen a headline, from an article in The Mag: “Sorry for those who couldn’t get NU season tickets but where were you when Ashley couldn’t give them away?” ? talk about a disincentive to read it!

Hope he’s not needed for arm-twisting purposes…

? Karl-Mwalako is a moron! Karl-Mwalako is a mo-or-ronn… ?

Wijnaldum is reported to be on 9.2 million (Euros presumably) per year at PSG. Though as he went there on a free I presume it would be expected for this to be corrected downwards if his next move was for a transfer fee? Suspect it is the whole financial package which would lead to a straight no/maybe/yes/hell yeah! decision.

18 days of the window gone, 64 days to go. Assuming Botman is done, wonder who is next?

Round 2, ding ding!

Might be waiting until dark…

Aye, but a midfield of Bruno, Big Joe, coupled with the experience/class of GG? Add favoured two wide players/forwards and a central striker… tasty.

Not many getting wood at the thought of that.

Has anyone posted details/tips on re-newing/getting a membership?
