Years ago I'd have been really excited about the fact he's only 20, but Ashley is just hoping he'll be Benteke. Couple of years of goals then sell him to Chelsea or Liverpool.

I was just about to write that Kaka needs to sleep soon so don't get him too excited :lol:

 

I'll be up till the game man. Got to see Colback pass sideways and backwards against the Timbers' second unit. That will sufficiently darken my mood in no time.  :)

Exactly. I'd love to think we could have 10 years of him banging in goals for us if he's quality, but if he his he will be gone in a flash.

He will put his head where others would not put the leg

 

Then yours is the world, and everything that's in it. And, which is more, you'll be a man my son.

 

:lol:

Same goes for most clubs in the league.

If Man Utd was forced to sell Ronaldo to Real Madrid... No players are "safe", it was hardly that Anderlecht was begging for some "filthy rich spending ridiculous money premier league club" to steal their players?

I don't have a problem with this approach if it then leads to you bringing in more talent with the money made and steadily progressing your club. I think that's how spuds are where they are with their approach (up until wasting the Bale money of course). Unfortunately we had this with Carroll where we sold a player for a crazy amount, the following year we did invest some of that money wisely and finished 5th but really missed an opportunity. Unfortunately that situation just made them think you can do things on cheap.

 

Two good signings so far, credit where it's due on that but we need a lot more, still worried that we've not bought these players early enough and missed out on valuable preseason prep.

Brilliant news, this :thup:

 

I'm also genuinely excited by this signing especially when you consider the potential he has (judging from all the stories about him that is!).

 

Looks like the words "hope" and "belief" are starting to creep into my NUFC vocabulary again especially if we also bring in a competent CB as well (cue September/October time when things are going wrong and we get the same old story... :laugh: :undecided: I like how this regime has brought out the cynic in me).

Even if Mbemba signs we're still three signings away from a sniff of optimism. 

 

Definitely. I'm mostly worried about the dead wood we've yet to shift, we all know who. I'm praying they'll clear out the cling-ons in the next couple of weeks somehow..

Who's going to take them though? As shite as they are we don't have any back up squad players or decent youth talent to bring in when half the first team are suspended and/or injured.

As much as I want to be optimistic, I still have this gnawing dread that we''ll have a Dummet/Gouffran combo down the left wing most weeks... but hey, another £200 million and your forgiven, Mike, you odious cunt!
