Big Fab with a quote from Simeone. Sounds like the money might be fine and it’s down to the player.

Pretty binary situation - if it isn’t accepted NUFC don’t get the player. Therefore another bid is required, meaning by default the former is rejected/superseded. Only out is if we leave it on the table - which given our predicament I wouldn’t play Lee Charnley ‘who blinks first’ shite with them.

I’m using the app and it’s in the Trippier article. Might be a screw up in the web version.

“The Athletic understands that Atletico are unlikely to accept this first bid”. By not accepting it, they de facto reject it.

Gayle, Gillespie, Woodman or Darlow, Krafth, Hendrick, one of the CBs. Job done.

First bid for Trippier rejected according to The Athletic.

Got 50 in five mins but got bored. Laws of diminishing returns suggests I’d have been lucky to hit 175.

No.

He’s hardly been a major player for Nigeria - 3 games since 2019. Doesn’t suggest he’s got JayJay Okocha levels of involvement.

Apparently all Nigeria’s fault. They haven’t followed due process and the fuck-up is all on them. Frustrating for us.

Once you’ve seen the likeness to Big Lee Boardman, it’ll haunt you.

Nostradamus-esque.

Some lovely hedging there by the Spanish Jez Quigley. Thanks.

Rather than subject myself to Balague’s self indulgent musings, can someone summarise what he said?

Under normal circumstances now - agree - but 11 points from 19 games and 19th in the league isn’t that solid foundation.

We should be going all out for Martial with Wilson injured. Give him the guarantee of being the main striker for the rest of the season. I could see him being very Loic Remy-esque for us, including fucking off after his loan finishes. Serves both our interests in we get a premium CF and he gets a shop window.

Another Ponzi scheme picking up on people’s desperation to get rich quick and live like a celebrity. See also Football Index: https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/12/we-couldnt-work-it-out-football-index-ex-employee-on-firms-business-plan

People will Go Ape if that happens.

“Zagadou-dou-dou, push pineapple, shake the tree. Zagadou-dou-dou, he’s the centre back for me.” I’ll get my coat.

Definitely Boro.

In the last few weeks we’ve had this and the Benidorm Brigade singing the ‘Cristiano cleaning the boots’ song. An element of our fans just need neutralising before they do anymore damage.

Sliding doors moment when Craig Fairbrass had the chance to do an Alec Baldwin to the self promoting cunt in Rise of the Footsoldier 3. If only the dumbbell had actually hit him, might have knocked some sense into the fucking spanner.

Just 6?

My eyes and ears will bleed forever more.

Can see Bielsa walking just because he’s a mad cunt.
