I love the lad and it will be a shame to see him leave, but because of his injury record he is to all intents and purposes a fringe player. If we can get a big fee for him then I don’t see the problem.

Related to that Monaco CB?

Is it possible for a thread to have a gas leak?

Who were we playing during pre-season a few years ago when it got rained off at HT?

Sounds painful.

Know absolutely bot all about the women’s game. Assume these lasses are canny upgrades? Pulling power of being fully professional now must be pretty big, even if they are Div 3.

Or when Dummett starts a match.

I think I preferred it when football was more vibes based, rather than every cunt fancying themselves as Jonathan Wilson because they’ve spent five mins on Transfermarkt.

He’s a senior pro at the club doing senior pro stuff. I don’t think the captain has to have a monopoly on offering to help new signings.

Lads, it’s a video clip. Let’s not read too much into it.

There’s a degree of pragmatism with our business, in no small part due to FFP but also because we’re way ahead of expectations on the field. I get the impression we’d much rather do the deal that works for us - even if it’s not necessarily one of the ‘problem’ positions - than buy someone we’re not convinced about to plug a gap. I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t get a CB or a LB this window, just because there might not be a deal to be done that makes sense. We’ll just have to wait and see.

No point getting worked up about something which might happen. Even if we do sell him, you can guarantee we’ll get the best possible deal and it’ll be reinvested.

I know I’ve contributed to it somewhat, but the ASM/Barnes debate is a bit odd. Different in-game circumstances are going to require different abilities. There’s a place for both of them in the squad. Why don’t we all just chill the fuck out?

It got Miggy scoring. I expect Barnes to post Haaland-like numbers.

And Barnes scored the same number of goals last season as ASM has in his entire NUFC career. Depends what you value I suppose.

We need more of a goal threat from our wide areas. It’s a no brainer.

Barnes at that price would be a great pick up, and a very astute one considering his strengths and our relative lack of goals from out wide (Miggy’s once in a lifetime run aside).

Chiesa looked absolutely unplayable at times during the Euros. Bit of a gamble considering his recent injury but if he can back to anything approaching that level then fuck me what a player.

Fucking hell he’s tiny

I don’t think what Kaka has said is that bizarre. When the response to overt, vicious racism both in a footballing context and a societal context is consistently appalling then eventually the only conclusion you can draw is that unconsciously it’s basically endemic. I naturally disagree with the suggestion that every individual England fan is on some level racist, but deep down I know the truth is that a lot of the gestures towards inclusivity are pretty surface level and prejudice still exists in spades. Beyond the 22 players on the pitch football is still overwhelmingly white.

If he’s got a release clause that runs out tomorrow and we haven’t acted already you imagine we’re not going to.

I don’t think it’s either/or when it comes to fullbacks. We’ll get both.

We spent £3m on Ashby. Absolute chicken feed in PL terms. No idea what people expect?

Mackems in the mud.

Buy Leazes Terrace, make it part of the new stand. Piece of piss.
