What would you rather NUFC go for in the final few weeks of the window? An LB or a CB given it seems we only have the cash for one or the other.

If the right players become available the cash will be found, I'm convinced of that.

Hmm. Probably. Maybe. I think we’re settling for one or the other regardless though and probably reevaluate again in January.

What is more likely? Matt Targett getting back to 21/22 form or Fabian Schar getting injured? I'm going cb since we have Dan Burn.

So Maguire wants the pay off from Man U AND the signing on bonus from West Ham? Pay me to leave, pay me to join. Fuck me. England's CB

Caicedo was the 22nd player signed by Chelsea for a fee since American investor Todd Boehly and his Clearlake consortium took over in May 2022 and takes the total outlay of the new owners to almost £900m.

So even if all the signings they made before the 5 year loophole thing was brought in they are still looking at a £100m + loss per season for the next 8 seasons?  No way that can be sustainable

Thing is though, in some ways, they've been sensible. They've bought mainly young, talented, valuable players who should improve under a good manager. I don't think they have any particular desire to have any of them and they look like they've just gone shopping and now have a squad full of assets (for want of a better word) that should appreciate in value. They have some many of these assets now that, at any point in the next 3 or 4 years, they can probably sell for whatever they paid for them. This allows them to get out of any financial bother quickly. 

 

It's vile that they seem to see the players as pieces of meat that can be frozen and stockpiled but that's where we are.

So not an all out deny - just a “we’re confident we’ve acted within the rules”, interesting.

Liverpool are updating their dossier as we speak. The snidey little cunts

[Geordie Ahmed]

On Maguire to West Ham, I see Man-U fans giving him stick, they could just accept a lower fee from West Ham

 

Wasn't the first reported bid meant to have been £20m, which frankly was very generous

A bit sad to see Neymar pissing away his last years in SA. At the end of his tenure here he seemed headed to so much greatness.

 

Few major transfers have gone as badly for every party involved as Neymar from Barça to PSG.

It was inevitable given his attitude and focus.

I think this kills his career to be honest. He would have been perfectly suited to West Ham and could have got back to his best, which is a good Premier League defender. 

 

Instead he's demanded a huge payoff, and when he hasn't got it he's decided he'd rather be a fifth choice centre back and sit on the bench. We preferred our left back in central defence instead of him ffs.

Not sure how I feel about it tbh. While I'm glad your club doesn't get to cash in on a depreciating asset, I was also quite enjoying Moyes fucking up West Ham's future by attempting to recreate his Everton team in London's east end.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Chelsea also have around £40m a year from Chilwell, Ziyech and Lukaku to contend with.

 

of they’re overpaying on wages as well as fees then they may well find it difficult to shift enough over the next 2 summers to have much room to manoeuvre.

 

Poch must feel pretty safe though, no way they can afford a pay off this season

This is the very same Man Utd that tried to charge us £15m for a six month loan of Lindgard. I have no sympathy for them, hope Harry stays put unless they pay him out.

I’m going to send out a concern about us not selling players to Saudi for inflated prices. Ndombele and Al-Nassr is a match made in heaven.

You are missing out. Sell for inflated and go after Pool targets. Get Klopp even more rattled than he already is.

3 month contract at West Ham is his only option these days

Both clubs have American owners, hopefully they are creaming off all their profits to their own subsidiary companies leaving the football clubs with a nice fat debt to service for the next decade or two.

Lingaard was so overrated, like. Absolutely nothing about him as a player.
