Every other transfer involving other clubs seem to go through quickly, whereas with us, whether it’s incoming or outgoing, it takes an absolute age. 


It really doesn’t

Tonali was quick? It took almost a week from journos told us it was a done deal to the club announced it ffs ?


A whole week?! How did we survive

I can almost guarantee that no-one at Al-Ahli (or any Saudi club) cares about inflating transfer fees to help Newcastle. As with all companies under PIF, you’re essentially competing against one another for a bigger slice of the proverbial pie. 

They would very much care if they were being directed by PIF to do so.

Bit sad about this, not really about what it means for us as we’ll be fine but I hope ASM gets what he wants. I’d have thought his ego would want proper success and I hope he returns to the top leagues again soon but either way, thanks for giving us some amazing moments when things were particularly shit

Real shame about his injuries. Had it not been for that he could have gone another level or two higher than what we’ve seen, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.

 

Still thought a brilliantly entertaining player and character. Pretty much the only thing that made the Bruce era worth watching.

Chucked his career sadly. His perogative of course, but he's nixed any chances of making the French team or really achieving anything noteworthy in football. Good player to watch, but seemingly unable to make professional decisions. Shame.

Bit harsh mind

I think we've gave him a gentle nudge. Not as though he had many other offers on the table at the price we wanted....

Maybe but I'm sure he could have stayed in Europe, he will have had offers, they got him pretty cheap. Not long ago he wanted to win the Ballon D'or. Now he's basically put paid to his career prospects. He's an explosive player who already accumulates injuries, once age hits him, it's over.

He might have had offers

But I don't think anybody else was going to give us the fee we wanted for him.

I think he'd have been happy enough staying here.

A miss but maybe not as much as previous French wingers I've loved and lost...

Obertan 

Nzog doesn’t deserve being lumped together with the filth that was Obertan
