So much talent out there being snapped up by other clubs and here we are, trying to overpay for Guehi and still not getting it done.

 

Heads need to roll because of this. Shambles doesn't even begin to cover it.

 

Not the best choice of words, mind

Careful, Saudi team might get ideas and jump into some PIF owned private jets.

If we got an offer for Isak and we turned it down as we had no desire to see. He then got injured for a couple of months - people wouldn’t be saying “we’ve fucked ourselves there as we could have sold him”. It only makes a difference if they wanted to sell.

It was a throw away comment. Forget it mate. It’s not that big a deal. Just reckon if he gets a year long injury on a 2 year contract they’ll kick themselves for not taking the £70m 

 

he won’t get injured so it really doesn’t matter

Mokbel, the Parish mouthpiece, said this would be resolved in the next 48 hours yesterday evening. At least we should be put out of misery tomorrow, either way.

Come on, the Tapsoba link wasn’t realistic? My question is do we want to fill a position or do we want

 Guehi which are two different things.

 

We've been linked with plenty of goalkeepers.

 

Technically they can all play CB, with the added benefit being, that they can also use their hands.

[BermyToon]

I guess we will get an update about transfers from Eddie after tomorrow's game.

I think even the most extreme happy clapper (not saying Shearergol is) can admit this summer has been an absolute shit show. Constantly mentioning Ashley every time people are visibly upset about something is so lame.

The club have done brilliantly to change direction and upgrade their finishing position and squad since the Bootcut Bellend and Bruce left but it feels the last few months have seen us tread on a rake or three. It’s not bed wetting to highlight when the club haven’t done something well, or face the “I was there during the real hard times” crowd.

NUFC spends £70m on Guehi: heads need to roll.

The club prioritises European qualification imo, though obviously the cup presents a route into that, winning the cup is small compared to what European football brings. 

 

Can't see us any higher than 7th this season, so we're likely counting on the FA Cup winners having already qualified for Europe. We really need to win the League Cup tbh. Think a trophy will help encourage Isak, Bruno and Gordon to stay. Otherwise 7th and Europa or even 8-9th and nowt and they'll want out.

Nothing as lame as being visibly upset about a football club not yet buying a player or two you want

I feel like you’re playing down with “highlight when the club hasn’t done well” - on this page alone I’ve read “heads need to roll”, “absolute travesty” and “this summers been a shit show”

Agreed, rumours that Tindall will leave Eddie too if we don’t make it.

Think we need to stop making threads for players who aren’t ours. Too much of a jinx. First Maddison and now Guehi. 260 pages of torture. Keep it in the transfer rumours thread until official.

...as is the constant moaning that has gone on since the takeover, apart from a blip of ten good games here and there. It has been a very very poor off season so far, yes. But some have constantly peddled pessimism to such a comical extent, and pretend that they weren't utterly wrong then...and then go on to play the victim about how thye have been marginalized by the forum clique. The few lunatics have been running the asylum for a good while on this forum.

What about threads for players who used to be ours but left too soon?

Just ignore all the threads started for the players we did buy

Concur that’s absolute nonsense and genuine bed wetting. There’s a balance to it all. Legitimate criticism when it’s deserved.
 

I’ll judge when the window is shut but out momentum just feels seems somewhat curbed by signing only Lloyd Kelly and a couple of no hope goalies.

It isn’t - it’s three years

 

My apologies for it being a Villa site

 

That's the FFP accounts but fees and wages are amortised over the length of the player's contract in the accounts.

 

So, for example, a player that we signed 5 years ago for 50m would be 10m each year for 5 years. This year they would be £30m in the 3 year FFP accounts, the year after £20, the year after £10. It wouldn't actually be until 8 years after signing that their fee would be gone from the FFP accounts.

Tbf we've managed to thread the eye of that needle where both things are fair.
