Agree on resale but I do think Wissa would have a stonking next couple of season if he played for us

Years of sitting in their underwear upstairs in their bedroom playing Football Manager hones essential skills. Unfortunately none of those involved the challenge of real life negotiations between 3 parties.

Well someone has to sit here and watch them play. Maybe I should throw a ball in a check for talent

About to get on a boat for a week. No not the big bastard, the one with the tall mast. Think next week without social media might be a good thing…..#NUFC

The difference between 200k a week and 300k a week is 20+million over a 4 year contract #NUFC

As a mag I think the coach and the club culture makes a significant difference. There’s a reason Man U fail to get the best out of good prospects and NUFC turn people like Jacob Murphy and Tino Liv into consistent Premier League performers. #NUFC

I fucking love that idea 😊

That’s a reasonable view. I was originally of the view we should go for squad depth as well. But the risk of losing Isak has got us scrambling to play in that small pool now.

I like Ramsdale and I think he was poorly treated by Arteta and that screwed his head. But I guess only time will tell which of us is right

However if we didn’t go to compete for them the fan base would have been screaming lack of ambition. We’re trapped at a glass cellar that make take a few headbutts and a bit of luck to break. #NUFC

We’re basically trapped at a point in our development where we don’t want to buy unless it’s adds to our quality but that pool of players is very small and when we try get in we are in competition with the wealthy legacy clubs who can pay more wages and offer longer contracts. 1/

Agree. Sesko preferably for age but Watkins knows where the nest is

Football fans of bluesky lets make an agreement...

Based on the premise of we are Rivals not Enemies.

In the spirit of respect shown after Jota passed away.

Keep the hateful stuff for X.

Still have banter, but leave the nasty stuff.

Last we had what 5 players out on loan? Maybe 6. Lewis, Kelly and Hayden may have been off loads but still needed to be sorted. But didn’t we have Ashby, Murphy and White out on loans. Whites back out and so is the new lad Cordero(?) had Mintah out on loan plus others before we sold him.

FFS. Such a cheap whining shot. If I remember he’s involved in loans and emerging talent. So he’s had a successful summer so far from what I can see. Is your crass fuckwhut comment based on anything specific #NUFC

How is not being able to pay top wages fall to mismanagement? It’s just PSR reality.

Coutinho an even better comparison

Just seen one of the many sane LFC fans expressing sympathy and comparing it to when Torres went to Chelsea. Fair comparison I say. #NUFC

Hmm. 3 years still to go in a good contract, offered and improved one, and now being very careful not to actually put a transfer request to retain various bonuses. Nah he deserves some grief.

Yes, by Isak

Just to to underline what a twat he’s being here he’s just absolutely fucked our negotiating position on Wissa . #NUFC

When he comes back to St James we better be hurling Monopoly money and screaming “one greedy bastard” at him. Otherwise it will confirm my belief that the modern fan is just a celebrity besotted fanboy.

Wages count to PSR as well and will become more important in future PSR rules. Plus fucker had a contract

If Isak goes we should not pile in on the club. He will be the one shitting on a 3 year contract through dishonourable behaviour. The club are doing their best to keep him. #NUFC

I’m 62, witnessed so much ups and downs as a mag. But none of it was amplified by the social media as it’s is now. This media fucks you in the head, you might think it doesn’t but it does. Don’t fall down the well guys n gals. Yours sincerely, drunk, patronising bastard who loves you all X. #NUFC
