Mountain Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 13 minutes ago, Fantail Breeze said: This lad will be signed soon I reckon. Would be nice to get him in. Think if we spend money on him we’ll go into the season with Wilson, Ekitike and Wood. Not ideal with Wilson’s injury record but hopefully Ekitike is good enough/fit enough to keep Wood away from the team. Seems a bit ridiculous to be worried about only having two good striker options when we barely had one under Ashley. Feels good to be spoilt already. I'm loving it, impatience is just misguided excitement in this regard. People need to chill out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of proper internet and, y'kna, being 9-12 meant that one day I just woke up and we had signed Ginola or Ferdinand. Lived in blissful ignorance till it was actually done. Feel like the first transfer 'saga' I vaguely remember being aware of was Shearer. Yep, I remember my grandma driving us back from the airport when the radio announced that we'd signed Shaka Hislop, which was the first time 8 yr old me had heard anything about him coming. Makes you realise how draining everything is these days, hundreds of knackers each day playing tug-o-war with your emotions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 In 96 when we signed Shearer I had this football game on the Amiga 500 where you could customise the team you were playing with, they had no official teams but you could essentially make a team with black n white stripes and then rename your players. Of course I had Shearer up front alongside Ferdinand but this was before we signed him. There wasn’t much speculation on the news or radio iirc. So I didn’t even know if we were in for him. Then the morning it happened, I literally had a dream that the signing was announced, woke up and went down to get breakfast/lunch (probably the latter as was a lazy teenager) and it was all over sky news and the radio that it was done. Kept watching Sky news on the hour, well 20 past for the sport bit. The squad was in Malaysia already for pre season and sky had a shot of him in a club tracksuit sitting on the back of one of those airport luggage carts giving a little wave to the camera. It was absolutely torture waiting for the season to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1988 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I really don't understand all the hate for Twitter, surely if you're selective with your sources/accounts then it's fine? It's not like you'd be sat in a pub and actively start listening to or acknowledging the crazys propping up the bar and taking their ramblings as truths so why would you do it on twitter?

Howay man it’s a cesspool, even the blue tick so-called journos spout absolute bollocks and rarely get anything right. It’s decent for breakdown of stats and such I imagine and NUFC’s Twitter account has improved massively RE vids and montages which I get to see on here, but for rumours, gossip, ITK shite and banter?

You spend half your life blocking/muting posters as everyone is just on the wind up. #NUFC is a cesspit, you can't see any reasonable posts for the constant baiting and parody of parody accounts.

I don't bother reading posts by anyone that has some shit nufc photo or parody or black and white emojis as their name or their bio. Same for any other club. If that is all they have going for them then clearly whatever they say is going to be their unverified, biased shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Graeme Bailey’s latest update on 90mins says the deal “will be FFP friendly” as NUFC have a lot of business to do this summer.
