If this happens will Romano just retweet his old post? I hope so.

 

Also cracking player, hope we get him.

Don't we have an official tie-in with StatsBomb?

Yeah we definitely did a couple of years ago, not sure if we still do. Tbf though they work with loads of clubs 

[David Edgar]

Seems we have got so close as to take a gravitational sling shot and are now accelerating away from the player.

DCL according to Romano.

 

Would be surprised by that, it'd be a completely different profile of player would offer no way near what Pedro would offer us.

[huss9]

rather spend a little more on Pedro, and less on a winger.

It probably helps Hope and Edwards and I think Waugh are all on holiday. Caulkin too I think

I’ve only been in a press room with Lee Ryder once and the utter disdain from his colleagues was heartening

Does he bring a packed lunch? I like to think he does. Cheese n bean melt, pickled onion Monster Munch and a bottle of Dr.Pepper.

I picture him in Thompson house most days wandering about half-cut with his nylon suit smelling of the night previous, frantically scouring Twitter or whatnot. By lunchtime I see him as being glad of a bit of fresh air - a Greggs sausage & bean melt, a ham & peasepud stottie and maybe a cheeky packet of cheese n onion why don't'cha. Its Lee's chance to forget, to switch off from his daunting task. Extended (facebook orientated) lunchtime over , panic sets in. Feeling slightly fresher for now having sobered up , he comes into his own and a story emerges like a butterfly from a crysalis, Dekka on call to approve, offer guidance . Spell and grammar checker ignored, it's just submitted before his deadline.

Happy Days thinks Lee.

 

Off he then pops for his 8 cans of Kronenburg for £7.50 , closely joined by a Dominos pizza box and a 'soap night' viewing schedule .

The process is then repeated throughout the week.

He’s incredibly awkward in person like.

I'm at this stage now with literally all of our supposed transfers. The money other teams are spending now just makes it feel utterly ridiculous that we should have to worry about what we're spending. 

Fuck PSR, fuck FFP, Fuck UEFA and the PL and fans of other clubs. If Howe and NUFC want a player, I want him too and I won't lose any sleep about how much it might cost or how it will affect our other targets.

This. If we didn't have Howe and his diplomacy, where would we be now?

Howe clearly absolutely despises him which tbf I enjoy.

Most likely true. I've just heard that story about the heatwave of '76 hundreds of times over.
