Don’t even care at this point. We need someone in as like someone else pointed out earlier, we’re fucked if Schär gets injured early in season. If this deal can’t happen, we need to be moving on quickly.

50m with some weird add ons isn’t a bad deal.. but more than that and it’s time to walk away. Now we tend not to deal publicly like this with bids and what not so it feels off. May this is how Mitchell likes to deal.. but I doubt it. We just make an agreement and wrap stuff up. Anything that’s ever dragged on this long has turned out to be bullshit, or we got cold feet. Or player didn’t want to come (French git) But only thing about this transfer is that it would be a statement.. and maybe that’s only reason we’re still at the table.

They started coming into it after he went off.. pace wise he was the only one who could keep up with them. Can’t really judge him on last season because he must have known what was coming a few weeks before the world did, how does that not affect your game?

Is his contract up at end of season or 2 more years left? He won’t like being second or even third fiddle this season so I’m expecting him to be on it when he does get minutes on the pitch.

It’s a big investment even for the likes of City or Chelsea.. and ManYoo have just spent big on the injured kid.. can’t see either Arsenal or Liverpool biting. It gets done and I think the number is agreed, it’s how the number is delivered that’s holding up the deal.

Not Steve Bruce though.. because there was no plan!

He was unplayable in some games. Very few players in world football have that in their locker. He’s underachieved throughout his career though.. and include coming here to Mike Ashley’s NUFC w/ Steve Bruce at the helm. There’s a reason why the big clubs never wanted to sign him which is same reason why we upgraded that position first chance we got. It’s more down to consistency than work ethic or “being a team player”.

Great! He’s a little rough around the edges but hopefully training with Isak will spur him on to improving on first touch and decision making. He’s got pace to burn and very strong.. hopefully he can kick on.

Time will tell with City but I think they were a stronger team/squad 2/3 seasons ago. If Haaland can stay fit they’ll be ok but they’re not bulletproof like they were.

It’ll get done. They’re reporting events from 2/3 days ago at this point.

They were dark days but I thought Giuseppe Rossi did ok during his short loan stint.

Is there a point where this becomes a bad deal? I highly doubt we’re going in much more than 50m regardless of whatever Palace think they may get.

Knew the Thiaw stuff had to be bollocks because of the amount of stuff written, we don’t operate like that. It’s “advanced discussions/fee agreed” the first we usually know about it. Absolutely great signing if this comes off. He’s as solid as they come.

Well we know there wasn’t nothing going on. Agent can say the speculation has been distracting and AG doesn’t know if the club want him or not.. which is a valid argument. He’s smart enough to know what the deal would have been financially, with PSR.. and he’s smart enough enough to take advantage of the current situation. I believe as far as NUFC and the Dippers are concerned, that discussion has concluded. So any stories being rehashed will now be coming from the agent. But it’s only positive if he signs a new contract, he’s earned one

Very fast and powerful, will open up all sorts of space across the front. Any team playing against us with Osula, Gordon, Barnes, Isak and possibly Wilson would be mental to play a high line. More often we’ll see teams play deep and sit back.. those are the games we need to figure out what to do.

Is he our right sided forward then?

Declan Rice vibes about this kid. Welcome to the club, hopefully he gets a bit of first team this season!

I didn’t see the friendly but it was against Hull.. how much can be learnt? Whilst he certainly is a talent, I think we need him more at LB than anywhere else. Also seen the comments about Jamal Lewis, he’s done this numerous times.. looks ok in pre season and then just drops off the radar. Maybe he has turned a corner but his umpteen loan spells don’t really paint that picture.

They'd be right to! They signed him for 7m and he never played. How can his value have gone up more than 100%?

“Jesus gives stepmom massive creampie while daddy is away on business” 🤮

Isn’t this essentially why Staveley has moved on?

There’s been too much said about him in the press. It’s not how we do things. He looks a unit so would be delighted if we signed him but I think we go for someone else. It will just come out.. “bid accepted” and we’ll be scrambling to look at the cunts YouTube videos

I said the same thing last month and got chewed for it 😂 but I was wrong, we should never feel sorry for that cunt. Ever.

He likes a drink doesn’t he, can’t imagine Saudi would suit him too well.

Dubious link but it’s something.
