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.

It’s a bit fucked up that the club would have to have clear the air talks with people who have literally just joined. Love Eddie despite lasting concerns over his consistency, but he does seem a bit diva-ish about his own position. Like just get on with it man.. he’s the only one causing any negativity in terms of conversations about the club right now. All roads lead back to him.

No I think they expected someone to trigger Bruno’s release fee. Hence the cut off date. Big Joe is harder to replace in some respects due to him being an absolute beast of a man. Bruno can only run the show when those other ingredients are beside him.

Incoming to the dippers.. those twitter accounts should be binned.

The whole political games we can do without to be honest. Are you staying? Should be an immediate yes answer, not.. "as long as I'm happy and supported I don't see why not" I'm guessing the club did a review of the season and one of the decisions made was that a performance director should be brought in because the existing setup wasn't up to scratch. EH taken it on as a rap on the knuckles perhaps. I can't imagine they were happy with the response to his interviews either as it's done nothing to make things settled in the camp. It's a long way off the Rafa quotes before he left but it ain't nothing either.

I'm just not convinced EH wants to work under a DoF. He has to if he stays but then he does have this other potential amazing opportunity if he chooses not to.. one where he wouldn't have to work under anyone. That's the crux of it. Total freedom or stay and try and manoeuvre several layers of executive dick swinging to try and achieve your goals.

Loan him to Feyenoord! 🙂

The fact he won't have a pre season is the most worrying in relation to season ahead.

It's harder for a DoF to come in and make an impact when there's already a sitting manager there who they didn't choose. Does he have an input on tactics? Style of play etc? Or is he just a glorified scout or head of recruitment? Not saying it's impossible but EH won't be willing to let go of everything he currently has control over. He needs to meet them halfway for it to work.

Why thank you 😂 Based on, he wants the job, maybe not right now but it's an opportunity that may not present itself again. He's smart and I'm sure he's considered this. He's talked about a difficult summer.. aside from the PSR nonsense and the recent departures of Amanda and Mehrdad, why else would it have been difficult? Again.. things going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to. Or there's more to both those situations than we realise. Either way it's just a nagging feeling that all isn't well. I think PIF rate him but he doesn't have that same relationship that he had with Staveley and the recent additions of Mitchell and Bunce just add more layers to get through to have any direct access. So yeah, between all that and the speculation in the papers, I think he's a bit unsettled and I don't think his quotes from those interviews are the last of it.
