TRon Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 he is coming...New record signing....who would have thought... He isn't like. i think he will come, sounds like he wants to come and we are desperate... Im not sure that i have a opinion about this....? We're not desperate enough to pay £22m for him. Not when we've got international star, 23 year old Mitro still on our books. Rafa's own fault if he refuses to use our most valuable striker ( is what Ashley will be telling Charnley and Keith Bishop to spin when no signings are made).

Kaizero Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The asking price could be £50 and we would still haggle over the fucker. This is where I am...first bid is to loan a kid 'keeper as I've only got one at the club. They want 50% of his wage to be paid which is fair enough... ...until you notice he's on £1 a week and they want me to pay 50p of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 No chance we are going to meet their asking price is kuqi still playing? No, but good news for post-Rafa time: He's a manager now. Although he's been sacked a couple times and burned enough bridges to be highly unlikely to get another job in Finland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 This place isn't too bad for it but I'm sure a section of our fans are dying for us to sign no one so they can be proud of the usual shit that gets spouted every window: "smoke screen", "club isn't really trying", "fake bids through the media". I'm all for being realistic on our usual transfer dealings but some people are pathetic man - twitter is an absolute cesspool in the nufc tag.

Social media platforms generally seems to bring out the worst in/of fans, usually the angry and largely irrational ones. The club's Facebook page's comment sections are extremely imbalanced towards the negative; I genuinely feel sorry for the club's media team as they can't post a single thing without being bombarded with idiots. Some will say this is due to the how the club is ran from the top and that the angry fans would be contented if we had a different owner and were playing better football, but I tend to disagree. I reckon people will always be using those platforms as a place to vent their general anger semi-anonymously. Forum's on the other hand have always tended to be a bit more balanced and reasonable in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Very good player at this level, but doesn’t seem like the type to be able to make the step up physically to me. Feyenoord are still in a precarious financial situation and not having a good season, so can definitely see this one happen. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitro out for £13m on deadline day, a flurry of texts sent to Sky to talk about bids we're not actually making. Go with what we've got, very excited about our Brazilian yadda yadda yadda.

I don't trust most if not all of the planted rumours that appear in the media. I don't think we'll be anything of a club under Ashley but he will not want to make more losses with another relegation. He spent in the last January window the year we went down but it was too late. I expect some attempts will be made again to try and avoid it this time given how precarious our Premier League status is. One thing we can all agree on us he's out for himself and he wont want to take a chance of more losses and less chances to sell the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he really thought we needed to make signings to avoid relegation he'd have done it by now. He's dragging his feet on purpose in the hope we'll sell someone at a daft price first.

Unbelievable Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Very good player at this level, but doesn’t seem like the type to be able to make the step up physically to me. Feyenoord are still in a precarious financial situation and not having a good season, so can definitely see this one happen. ? Over the past two decades they’ve barely had a pot to piss in. Lately the situation has been improving (winning the title and qualifying for CL will have helped), but they are planning the construction of a new stadium and this year it looks like they may miss out on European football altogether so I would say they’re still not in a stable situation financially.

Neither were bargain basements and the majority were pleased about the quality of signings at the time. I'm not for one second saying Ashley isn't a dickhead nor am I saying he's running the club correctly but I don't think it's too far removed from reality that we're actually trying to buy players to protect his Premier League money because he's done it in the past. Edit* We're also in this weird sort of situation as a fan base that everyone is claiming this lad is shit but at the same time fuming that we aren't bidding more money for this lad that is apparently garbage. I get the frustration but a section of our fans have gone full logic out of the window this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
