Delusional fans. Can’t believe the traction stories like this get. Feel sorry for anyone who wasted their time on that rumour. 
 

Ok, we nabbed Tonali, but right now we’re pinching Barnes and Livramento off two championship clubs. That’s where we are, folks. Back to reality

Sky are still reporting it where ever they get the information from…!  
No one’s believing anything until maybe something has been agreed. Bit of a, well it wasn’t me who said it, they told me. Howhere man

Was this previously toonchat?

 

I was a massive lurker on that, purely went on for kit leaks.

Toonchat died. Myself and chayton created toontastic, HTT this place. Huge board wars, this place grew. I think that’s what happened anyway, something like that, too many beers this weekend to remember ?

That might be true, Keith, but Sky still put it on their transfer talk page, so you kinda did run with it.

Yep.  Reporting someone else reporting on it is still reporting on it.

From McTominay to Tonali, and now from Harvey Barnes to Kvaradona. What's the next big surprise?

[Dr Jinx]

How many skunkers alumni post on here? Half them must be one foot in the grave at this point.

That should tell you how likely it is.

You’re mad. 
 

Bramble by himself had all the physical and technical attributes to be a great defender and could pull a top performance out the bag. 

 Not for 90 minutes and that was the key problem. You simply can’t have a player with such poor concentration at CB. A repeated issue. He never grew out of it. In the end, it doesn’t matter how strong or quick you are , how good a passer or how clean you can tackle, how high you can jump. If you can’t read the game well and if you keep getting flustered, the league will quickly find you out. As it did him. Shame, but it was so.

All this talk of old forums made me think of the first one I joined, nufc-forum.com. I see its gone now too.

Can the as yet unnamed poster confirm if Bramble was ever able to keep it up for 90 minutes?

I think £100M + ASM will get him from Napoli.

Bramble's in particular, eh?

Think selling ASM separately and paying Napoli extra would make far more sense in terms of FFP.

 

Not that I think this is happening like

What dya mean let him down?

We are pissing in the wind with FFP

If it wasnt for ffp they'd be doing the exact same as they're doing in Saudi now

 

We play 3 central midfielders and had 4 senior central midfielders in the squad post January.  And we often started all 4. 2 injuries and we would’ve been playing an untested 19 yo and someone that’s not a CM at CM. 

 

That was a gigantic risk.

Not consistent enough aye. Titus could read the game imo. But he would lose concentration often and get easily rattled.  But it was in his locker to have a worldie performance  it just the clangers were never far away. 
 

I don’t credit Woodgate for Titus good performances.

It's possible in that scenario (2 injuries) we'd have altered away from the middle 3.

There was a game at SJP V Arsenal with Bergkamp in his pomp. Titus dominated him and he was subbed at HT or soon after.

Well the injuries did happen for the Chelsea game, and we played the same way but with Bruno, Anderson and Gordon in the middle. Changing from the 4-3-3 is something Eddie has shown he none too keen to switch from, and why would he the results speak for themselves.  

 

I don't doubt he'd do something when needed, but 4-3-3 is the default at the moment, and it don't half suit us like.

In a game that counted for nowt, in which getting some experience for one or two was more a priority than the points.

Aye and that’s really not good enough.  

All of our rivals and even Brighton would’ve been able to keep shape with a couple CM injuries.  We wouldn’t. 
 

I expect us to cover the holes in the squad this summer. But it’s not true that the club management haven’t left us light in the past.  If they don’t think the players or value are available they won’t sign players to fill out the squad.
