I understand what you’re saying, but we’d have a hard time complaining about Almiron for €60mil when we laughed all the way to the bank getting €42 for Fabinho who was considered long past his prime at the time.

The deals we got for Fabinho and Henderson is what made the difference for us last summer.

Incredibly pleasant surprises.

Almiron
Will be 30 in two weeks

No trophy’s in Europe

I’ve said a few times regarding the 115 Man City charges being non investigated.
Government involvement is almost nailed on here, can’t have something as trivial as football cheating spoiling international relations with Abu Dhabi and all the potential finacial implications it might present.

Crooked as fuck, and nothing more severe than a fine and token points deduction will come of their blatant cheating

Given the plummet of the £ in those 5-6 years, we probably ended up making an incy weeny profit on him!!

so…

if you are a footballer who signs for Newcastle,
but you dont really do well or have a loss of form,
you get pumped off to Saudi Arabia!

what a great incentive to play for Newcastle.

you say that like the club wouldn’t have an account in Euros… Don’t imagine they’d be fans of paying exchange on tens of millions at a time.

Newcastle have rejected an improved offer for Kieran Trippier from Bayern Munich

Sky Sports News has been told the bid was in the region of £13m

What are they smoking at Bayern? Everything good and sober over there?

Some really weird moves, especially in defence, in last years.

Wondering how much commission Kane gets everytime Bayern sign current/former Tottenham player. Hope he has a strong sales pitch for Son

Bayern just want to bring in a player who understands Harry Kane. Their flawed assumption is that the Spurs players ever did.

The answers is they are abused children of the previous owner.

Any kindness is accepted at a certain point.

They are without doubt amongst the thickest collection of dumb twats

It was interesting that they were blaming PL/FA and the UK/Boris government for any wrongdoing, but they were unwilling to accept that the PL/FA and the UK/Boris government did something wrong for the benefit of NUFC.
