Maldini

They're like a spotty 14-year-old at a school disco desperately trying to find someone to kiss for the slow-set. Pini Zahavi or some other super-agent wandering around in front of them asking "will you be with my friend" Haha or this

We replaced Luis Suarez with Mario Balotelli. I can't believe this is even a discussion.

He's always on The Overlap, gives me Tory vibes

Stick this on a mural

Yeah but don't they already have £350m in outstanding payments?

Nah, he'll have a good PL career I think. He'd get a game for half the league this season I think

How are clubs paying decent money for Nicolas Jackson? He looks absolutely awful to me

United definitely going to sell their womens team to themselves aren't they

Yeah, seems like it, and what's annoying is other clubs are bailing them out by signing their cast-offs. They've turned a profit on Djordevic and Madueke and broke even or lost a little on 3 or 4 others

The talk a few weeks ago was we wanted £50m with no buy-back clause or £40m with one

That's weird, it's usually way earlier isn't it?

Anyone know why the PFA team of the year was never announced?

Part of me wants us to pull out of the Isak deal after they've signed Sesko just for the mischief

Release the training files you cowards!!!!

There's talk of them both taking "franchises" in this new breakaway rugby league as well isn't there?

Nice quote from the manager on the squad: “I want to mention the strength and the courage of my players here, too. They have found themselves in one of the toughest positions imaginable, but the way they have come together and the way they have conducted themselves, on and off the pitch, is a credit to them and to this football club. We really couldn’t have asked more of the boys, and I am extremely proud of them all.”

Howe away lads

I know, meanwhile their fans are crowing on about PSR being restrictive because they're a well run club. They had Lloyd Kelly and Matt Targett together earning around the same as Virgil Van Dijk last season

Guimaraes, Joelinton and Gordon are all on more than him. They also have Matt Targett on £100k a week which is bats*** crazy https://www.spotrac.com/epl/newcastle-united-fc/cap/_/year/2024

Help us RB-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope

Celtic were being linked with Bajcetic the other day

It's on lads

If your boss promised you a raise, pulled it away for no reason and then the company went to s*** despite your brilliant performance would you not be tempted to kick up a fuss?

I think McConnell might be a Morton, almost good enough but ends up being worth a few quid at least. Beck and Stephenson will have solid careers too. I like what I've seen from Nallo (red card aside) but CB is such a hard position to give kids games

It's a game of poker now isn't it, no point showing your hand early.
