Bimpy474 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I do think it's quite daft when people seem to brush off these rumours as 'ITK s****'. It's absolutely clear that Rafa will be p*ssed off at the moment and whilst I can't imagine he'd be anywhere near considering his future, it doesn't bode well for us in the mid to long term. Nearly all ITK's are bullshitters. You or me could have claimed Rafa is fed up with the lack of signings so far and just said we know someone who knows him. We all know he's far from happy with the slow progress from the papers. I've told Paully who my source is as I know him personally and trust him not to divulge that info. Hopefully he'll come on this thread and verify this. Would that not mean you could be right (fair enough and i'd eat humble pie and apologise) and we could lose Rafa (i'd then punch you in the vag and also apologise).

sempuki Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think I've only been ITK once. I taught a French student when I was in Bournemouth who was friends with Demba Ba. It was at the time there were rumours about him having a release clause and moving to Chelsea in the January window. She told me he was definitely moving but wouldn't say where. I remember not believing it despite her showing me a picture of her with him and his mates. Not sure I mentioned it on here at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Murphy brothers' mam and grandparents are from up here. There's a pic going round of them in Toon kits as bairns. https://twitter.com/ChatNUFC/status/882310042963324928 What lovely bairns they were. And a talented pair. Sign them both! (and Cairney for that matter). Despite the fact I also wanted us to sign him, he signed a 1 year extension with Fulham last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Think that Murphy kid would be a good signing. Me too, but he's Norwich's best player and has 4 years left on his deal. 8.5 million seems fancifully cheap in this market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelveys Hair Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 He'd agreed to sign for us all agreed we p*ssed about didn't get it sorted straight away and Swansea offered additional sweeteners in the meantime. Would have been irrelevant if we'd just got it done at the time. Bullet dodged hopefully. Dont get why they'd start pissing him about.. we are back in the PL just need to build a squad.

Me too, but he's Norwich's best player and has 4 years left on his deal. 8.5 million seems fancifully cheap in this market. Norwich are letting most of their squad go. Apparently they have no money and need to get rid of players, they banked on coming straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Just utterly bizarre that some people actively default to a decision of "must be bullshit" re: rumours that Mike Ashley and his cronies are messing a manager around. I don't mind people being naive about it, it's the piss taking of anyone who isn't that's absolutely crackers. It's like we haven't had 10 years of it.

And many more to come as Ashley won't change and Charnley shouldn't be a million miles near the position he is in but Ashley's ownership tells you why he is.

Burnley to some degree. We can build a good squad shopping sensibly, we seem obsessed with breaking our transfer record, i don't care about that as long as we buy good players to build on. The worry is, we don't seem to want to land the 6 to 7 £10m players, through dicking about and being tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Mentioned this lad weeks ago.Got the feeling nobody really rated him on here. He did superb in his championship spell off the back of a equally impressive loan at Coventry (whith Adam Armstrong) Although he returned to his parent club and had a superb season. And then continued to carry the form into the recent u21s tournament. You cant argue he's not been consistent or progressed over 2 seasons. Would be a great purchase. Im sure if it is genuine legit bid/interest then many will get on board instead of thinking hes turd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
