Good experience to add to our younger midfield. Just checked he scored 11 goals for us in that relegation season. Was outstanding for Liverpool. Played 38 times for PSG last year. Still only 31 (?) Would add to our quest for most handsome team in PL. But is probably on about 15 million a year and I seem to recall him saying something disgruntled like ‘Newcastle fans know nothing about football.’ So he’s perceptive as well ? It’s a yes from me!

Liverpool fans I know absolutely loved him. He played almost every role in the middle for them.. and even turned up in away games! Wages could be an issue but I expect they would be wherever he goes next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck knows what embarrassing shite me and my mates would have posted. Mind you, the only NUFC signing I ever remember going to the ground for was Shearer’s - and that was organised fun with the Flashing Blade and the Flashing Bladettes (DJ Alan Robson for those lucky enough not to know). I wouldn’t have spent a weekday morning sat outside the ground waiting for a highly rated ‘one for the future’ centre-half. We had to make do with a handled thermos flask, pretending it was a camera. we did get a few interviews, like. Just none of them were recorded.

You may be right. You could also be wrong and this is the beginnings of our very own “arsenal fan tv”. Don’t take any chances, kill it in the crib with fire and acid imho.

Coffee_Johnny Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It’s been a while… so possibly safe to suggest another chant to presage the welcome vid/interview . "Na…na…na..na…na… Na…na…na… Botman, Botman, BOTMAN!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We’re not ready for top 4, even if we signed a few more top class players. We have a squad of maybe 11 or 12 mediocre players who need to be shipped on. Outgoings just as important as who we’re bringing in currently. I suspect the season we’re about to have will increase the value of some of them so that we actually make a bit of ££ when either January or next summer come along.

Nine Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Its going to take 4/5/6 seasons to transform this squad into a side that can compete for top 4 let alone compete in the CL, what the hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Our back 5 is as good as anyone's bar City, Liverpool and Chelsea. We were already top 6 form under Howe before this summer transfer window and pre season. We'll be in and around the top four next season I'm in no doubt.

arnonel Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I would temper expectations. We over achieved. Cant over achieve ever season. Solid top 10, while getting all the new joiners used to the league is a great step forward I think. Push on year after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We should, right now, be looking to finish at least 8th. With better attacking additions along the calibre of Bruno, top 6. Outside of the top 4 there isn’t a great deal between most teams. We finished 11th after the worst start ever by a PL side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re currently an injury to Wilson away from an average mid table team. Even with him fit, our likely spot is around 8-10. Top 4 have quality experienced internationals to come in and cover when they get injuries throughout the team- we have the likes of Clark and Ritchie. We’re nowhere near top 4.
