He was never going to be a CB. Although we did sign him from Man U [no we didn't, he came via Canada] Edited August 27, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what supporting a football club and NUFC is meant to be? Mental. Keegan and John Hall times were quite like this, we were always being linked to this player or that player. It was brilliant, I can only remember sulking for about a month when Keegan sold Cole, I think it hurt more because it was to Man Utd, I was livid. Then, when we signed Les Ferdinand, he ended being just as great and all was forgotten. It was us that set all the British transfer records, Cole to Utd was a record, then Shearer to us also a record. Then not long after, transfers just went mental. But it feels like it's going full circle, I never, ever, thought I'd be able to relive my football youth , I thought it was over, I get to feel it all again, only this time probably see a trophy, and my daughter enjoy it also. Funny how things eventually work out. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake it’s going to take A LOT of money to get close and even if we never win a trophy I don’t care . I feel alive and at one with the club like I did back then. I’m well aware of where the money is coming from and it does sit a little uncomfortable but I’ve been involved in this club since I first went in 1976 and I’m consumed by it again , it’s my life again , it’s got me again .

Tisd09 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just thinking of the names we were linked to this time last year. Our biggest deadline day hope was Choudary on loan. after the window we’ve had and we are still hoping we will pull off at least a few loan deals before it “slams shut” To think, if we continue to progress things will get even more crazy during transfer windows.

I’m loving every second of this Absolutely, that's the strangest part. I believe eventually though most elite clubs if not all, the money will be coming from channels that are out of supporters control, and principles. In fact nearly all sports I'd guess. Yourself and myself, our fellow supporters we didn't get involved or choose the way things are, we just stayed loyal to our passion. Nobody's to blame, were addicted to Nufc, we have to be, we're still here after Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
