Not on here thankfully. Elsewhere they are, any excuse. Psychos.

Manzambi anyone ?

I really like him.

Doubt we'll put that much money on a CM, as versatile as he is. Not that I think we'd get him anyway.

I remember the days when clubs would sign players off the back of good tournaments. Karel Poborsky to Man U springs to mind, he was pretty rubbish.

El Mala mentioned in that Athletic article. Looks like a winger version of Gyokeres to me, but like Gyokeres, as inelegant as he looks, the output is there. (Incredibly, in the same article, one source half-brags that they think they can land someone cheaper than Munoz.)

When we first got taken over everyone we were linked with I had sort of heard of. 

 

Not Minteh but most of them were decently established but not gotten a big move yet. Tonali isak Bruno. But even Tino Barnes were players we had signed but we were linked with so many good ones, even the super young ones like the Turk at Real Madrid and Roony Bardghi and Scalvini, Ekitike, Pedro, Manu Kone etc

 

How has our ability to attract diminished so far. The players are all regens. The more established ones are too advanced for us now

 

Spurs and Villa and Man u are more attractive despite recent histories

That’s where we need to be shopping anyway.

Not a good look

 

This is the club's spin as well. Other clubs do medicals, we plan them

 

Talk of overpaying and citing the Wissa deal, big difference between paying twice what someone's worth and 5m. The fact we not only overpaid for Wissa but overpaid to such a degree but fucked around over 5m for a player who we will book a profit on regardless tells me this club has absolutely no clue.

You can’t paint last summer’s overpay on Wilson’s underpay as a direct example. But you can absolutely say the club (PIF/Hop) have no fucking clue at this point. I suspect Wilson knows how football works and has been around the game long enough to know what can happen if you delay shit. He’s the DOF so this will fall on him but the CEO and NUFC Board (Jamie, Solis, etc) need to fucking have a word with themselves. We are owned by a sov wealth fund who own Aramco, plastered all over the World Cup and F1. Our Chairman can text or call heads of state, and he has shown up to our matches in person over the period of our ownership, he claimed one time we’d be #1 and his club has gotten blown out of the water by Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City an Man United - legacy PL clubs owned by billionaires who would give A LOT to have PIF money flowing through their other lines of businesses. Act like an elite club NUFC please. Stop allowing agents and clubs to take the piss out of us. We are all fucking sick of this. It’s been the majority of our entire existence barring small short spells of a manager or someone above getting it, only to be shown the fucking door.

Nah hard disagree my bro - we need to turn into fast movers again.  We need to take the wonderkid risk again and trust our scouting, we do not not miss when we trust our process on talent ID, but we do miss when we panic and sign whoever because we lost every single option. 

 

We need to go after Minteh again as well as going after Isak when nobody would touch him.

Absolutely Kanji, and don't get me wrong I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular , just having a good old laugh at the absolute farcical nature of the club. 

 

The face saving exercise posted by the journalists is peak we don't know what we are doing. Going to have an inequest in to how we got mugged off again  

 

Literally have to laugh about it, because I'm not doing last summer again.

For what it’s worth that’s exactly what I meant when I said that
