Scalvini played 6 of 38 games last season. Massive risk 

I doubt we’re going to get a player with such a high ceiling, who doesn’t have something about them turning off the usual suspects. He’s only 21 and his two longer periods of injury were completely separate parts of the body. Tino hasn’t done too badly.

The tone of these journos who will all casually go 'yeah, Newcastle are interested in X' after someone else reports on it, like they knew about it all along but just didn't report on it because they didn't think it was important or because they were far too fucking busy being laid back and cool as fuck is so grating like. :lol: 
 

I'll sort of stick up for journos in the sense that everyone always jumps on them when they have nothing or are doing a 'non update' or whatever because I don't think it's that big a deal, but when they keep giving you nothing then imply they knew everything after the fact that someone else broke it just to save their ego it does my head in.

That's the game.

 

We've had good success on fairly priced PL players like Barnes, Burn, Pope - those deals are hard to land at decent prices. Not players big clubs would've been after in any situation maybe Barnes the exception actually.

 

Botman, Tonali, Bruno, Isak, Hall, Tino, Gordon - all signings other big clubs would've looked at and decided too much money for the risk. We have to continue down this route imo.

 

Indeed.

 

At some point we are going to have to pull the trigger. We can't just stand around, with our dick in our hands, for yet another window, waiting for the perfect risk-free transfer to fall into our laps.

 

We want Premier League ready signings, well those come at a huge premium. Cheaper signings from abroad? Well, those are not Premier League ready and may end up not adapting to the league at all. 

 

Every signing for us will have risk attached to it. Eventually, we are going to have to take some calculated gambles.

Taking a risk in terms on injury recovery at CB is quite shrewd given Burn and Schar have came off good seasons, Botman should be ready and Lascelles available for emergency cover.

 

If this guy comes in and has perfect fitness it’s a steal, and if he’s a crock, well another CB is already needed next summer anyway and that purchases becomes a starter.

 

Unlike at ST, RW and arguably CM if this transfer bombs it can be managed

 

Im in! Send the plane

If he’s a crock we’ve spent 50 million euros on one as that’s what Atalanta are asking for.

Is there any reason that Atalanta would sell?

 

Financial issues?

Player wants away?

That kind of fee is too much for a non-elite Italian club to turn down for a 21yo?

He’s been spotted going in and out of his local Betfred?

Is that a good or bad thing?

Vinegar strokes. 

 

 

Vinegar stroke (plural vinegar strokes) (slang, chiefly in the plural) During masturbation, a fast stroke of the penis just before ejaculation.

Now we're using this thread for good.

I mean, I always interpreted it as the last strokes of a shag, tbh.
