NUFC Transfer Rumours

This.

 

Every window we fail to upgrade seems to see us drop another level. Right now any talk of challenging for the CL seems fantasy Island stuff. Top 6 will be a dogfight from all evidence so far. We are not producing the football we did 18 months ago, other teams are improving year on year as well.

We will be lucky to finish top10

I think we can get 8th with our current squad, right now I would not be betting on getting into Europe. Of course its possible, but it is for half the other clubs in the Premier as well.

Not improving is weakening. Everyone else around us have improved, so -relatively speaking- we’re a weaker outfit this year with no additions.

 

Yup. I'm normally all for a bit of positive spin, but I just don't feel it here if we end the window as we are now. Especially taking into account our somewhat disjointed performances already this season and the little bit of negative mood that is creeping in.

 

Some positive movement in the market would have given a massive lift and changed the atmosphere around the club. 

 

I still think we will have a decent season due to the lack of European football, but the aim has to be top 6 if we want to keep our big names next season. I think that is a big ask when you look at the business other clubs around us are doing.

If our entire CB list consisted of just one name - that’s unacceptable - you make an offer which you deem is fair and reasonable - the other club changes the goalpost - so what do we do? Hang around like a prostitute - move onto other targets 

 

It’s incredibly frustrating - it makes little or no sense to me this 

 

One thing we need to change - the DoF has total control - that’s how the structure works - EH can have a say and a preference, but his involvement ends there - you then have clarity in terms of where the responsibility lies - it lies with the DoF - he is the one that sets out the vision and project

You've got to laugh. 

 

Right?

 

Dude the amount of laughing I've done today has been good for the soul.

 

Obviously in a "if you didn't laugh you'd cry" kind of way but still. The takes have been amazing on here today. :lol:

All I can assume is that we always thought we would get it done. 

 

I don't see how anyone can say otherwise since nobody has a clue what has happened. You can't say we should have pulled out earlier just because it didn't happen.


Yeah the noises around the deal as highlighted by @Shadow Puppets were always so confident; perhaps lackadaisically so. If Mitchell and Parish know each other so well then we should have at least had some vague notion as to how likely he’d be to budge. I suspect Parish didn’t enter into these negotiations in good faith and now, with a day left, we’re standing out in the cold with our dicks out.

 

I had always assumed we had tangible back-ups to Guehi but for whatever reason that doesn’t seem like the case? Maybe it’s the ultimate brinksmanship tactic by them and we’ll end up being fleeced for another 10m or whatever but I don’t see our owners being too impressed with that.

But why does it have to make sense to any of us? They make the decisions based on what they think is best, not just for this season, but for 2,5, 10 years ahead. 

 

If they deem the structure has failed, then I'm sure they'll change it....a new DOF is a huge job and new ways of working need to be established. EH may decide to doesn't want to work like that and maybe he'll opt to leave. Who knows, we aren't privy to the facts.

I've just been to Greggs, while I was getting my morning supplies (20 corn beef pasties, 6 chicken pasties and a tray of sausage rolls) I noticed a young man getting a Peach Melmba. I'm not one to judge, but I thought that was a bold choice for 10 in the morning. So I had a little look and was amazed to discover it was Karl Darlow. "DARLO!", I shouted, which was a bit much in hindsight as he was standing just in front of me. Probably fucked his ear drums. His fury turned to warm love as he realised he who it was. We had a little handshake and a brief catch up, I mocked him over the greatest save in Championship history (a joke I know is starting to wear thin with him now). During the course of our converation he told me he was up here to show Gnonto around.

As poor as the window has been, the hysteria is worse than a teenage girl missing out on Taylor Swift tickets. Get over yourselves you pack of wet wipes.


Buddy, If you’re equating disappointment to hysteria then your parents would be wearing straightjackets.
