Nucasol

92’er

Made some big signings - a new US international desserts coach from The Cheesecake Factory, raiding Plymouth for the pastry chef from Ginsters and stealing a new grill master from local feeder Smethwick Kebab & Takeaway.

Villa and their fucked up wage structure (Coutinho, Kamara) would fit.

Guaranteed. Donny Van Depay.

Nice £65 red T-shirt there.

Anyone else expecting Barcelona’s current transfer policy and ‘jam today’ securitisation of tv rights to blow up in their face down the line? Mes que un club bollocks. Barcelona form their summer transfer plan as they 'look to spend £172million on Robert Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva, Raphinha and Jules Kounde'... and hope to raise the funds by 'selling off another 15% of their TV rights' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10975465/Barcelona-allocate-172million-sign-Lewandowski-Raphinha-Bernardo-Silva-Jules-Kounde.html

That’s my stance. Box it in and you hinder the club’s future, diminish the grandeur and take away that essence of heading to that focal point. Would be happier at that point to develop something bespoke and unique on the Arena site. I was reading about the new Manchester Arena they’re building by City’s ground. We should consider something like this along with a new stadium: https://www.manchestersfinest.com/articles/new-images-manchesters-huge-new-23500-capacity-music-sports-arena/

Still waiting for delivery on the 3rd kit. Castore shipped the pre-ordered home one, complete with irritating Fun88 tacky melt on sponsorship but no Noom. I’ve got the home coming again from the club store (returning the pre-order as they ripped me off with postage) so will be interesting to see whether they’re sticking it on newer home kits.

Max Thompson (GK) plays for the England Under 18s I think too.

It’s been ridiculously sparse - Woodman you mentioned, the Longstaffs, Steven Taylor, before that Neale McDermott, James Beaumont and Ross Gardner. Villa probably have as many in the England youth teams this year as we’ve had in the last 30.

Arsenal 1-3 NUFC Leeds 3-4 NUFC NUFC 4-2 CFC

Actually a bunch of maniacs. There’s something really wrong with a large portion of them who frequent RTG and Twitter.

Think it’s a great resigning for Liverpool for those 3 years. Puts hopes of them fading on the back burner IMO.

Lad appears to be a weapons grade cunt with hamstrings like supernoodles. Does well at his current club and PSG Will hoover him up as Mbappe 2.0 for when version 1.0 goes to Spain or the PL.

Credit to NUFCBlog for some decent pickups recently, albeit solely at a youth team / reserves level.

Properly fucks the “Cathedral on the hill” view.

Absolute thing of beauty.

Fabrizio Rosenthal.

Absolutely grim reading. Not a fan of Panja but he’s done a great job surfacing this.

Is the lass who got kneecapped in that shot?

Based on money in vs money out. We’re struggling to raise anything on the incomings, regardless of the “richest club in the world” patter, so would think some rebalancing would be in order. Could be offset by flogging the likes of Shelvey, Almiron, Darlow, Lascelles, Manquillo etc but can’t see that happening in this market.

Just discovered even more club wankery. The original preorder link from the club took you to Castore’s site who then charge a £5 delivery fee. Club shop site delivers for free. Just the little things that the club needs to sort out around merchandising. Cancelled one for the other but Castore have no phone number to contact, so all done via email. Sooner the club bin them off, bring all this stuff fully in house and get a premium name in the better. Reeks of Mike Ashley.

Hopefully.
