Maldini

We already have a Welcome Fatawu thread on here from 4/5 years ago don't we?

He's a creative player playing in a system without any movement or pace. I'll worry about him if he's still like this under whoever replaces Slot in October

There's a bang of 2014/15 off all this, sensational performance the season before only for it all to fall apart in spectacular fashion the next season. Rodgers should have gone after the 6-1 away to Stoke, the writing was on the wall after only winning 2 of the last 9. The writing has been on the wall for even longer for Slot, there is just no possible way for him to bring this back. It's over.

Ah yeah, he was definitely sold because of PSR but I remember people at the time making out like both sides of the deal were dodgy and Forest has overpaid for Anderson in the same way as Newcastle overpaid for that keeper

Remember everyone thinking Anderson to Forest was a PSR diddle

2 goals and 2 assists tonight against Switzerland

He may want to go to Madrid but he'd f***ing hate it there. Imagine how pissed off he'd be with Perez and the board interfering, the press intrusion and their fans getting the hankies out every five seconds.

Imagine him with prime Firmino, Mané and Salah around him. We've seen the connection he has with the one in-form forward we have this season. Get him a couple of pact wide options and he'll take off

Chelsea got a 9 month ban from registering Academy players so means they won't be able to sign Abe, Farkas, Joseph and the other of our kids they've been linked with

He's a narky little prick, we need more of that. I'd sign him if it wasn't for the whole Newcastle acting the b******s element

They're not going to sack him but this is torturous at this stage, he's lost the ability to manage this squad and for everyone's sake he and us should be put out of our misery.

One of the Italian papers saying Inter will listen to offers over £60m for Bastoni

I think I'll struggle to watch much next year if he sticks around and it's as bad as this season. The football has just been so soulless and insipid. At least with Hodgson there was a sense of collective disdain and we could focus our anger on all the old pricks in the media trying to gaslight us, this s*** is just depressing

I thought The Quansah Clause* was €60m? * streaming now on Amazon Prime

Probably a good move for all parties, he's very talented but he's not good enough to get the games for us that he needs to progress. We should probably do the buy-back clause thing with more of these fringe 19/20-year-old guys

Another one of our better prospects leaving at the end of the season, England u17 international left back Liam Balmer

I disagree, we've dropped 8 points from goals in injury time, 10 points from winning positions. It's been pretty unprofessional at times towards the end of games rather than bad luck or anything though. We're not that far away from having had a very different season.

Yeah, prime Schwarzenegger wouldn't put on 9kg of muscle in that time even if he was walking around with a Trenbolone IV 24/7

Madness leaving him on the pitch, he'd clearly f***ed himself before the corner

One of the guys who covers the academy said it so who knows.

I think it's the other way around, we've told players we won't deal with anyone associated with him and they're choosing to be loyal to their agent instead of the club
