Not only that, he hasn’t had a proper pre-season so he wouldn’t go straight into the team. Maybe it would be like the situation last season Elliot and Chiesa?
Arne: Well, Alex you didn’t have a full pre-season so you’re not really fully fit and you’re not really integrated with the rest of the squad yet. So let’s give it a while and maybe you’ll get some games when you’re up to speed.
Isak: What the actual fuck!? I should’ve stayed at fucking Newcastle.
Maybe he’s already training in Slot’s backyard.
I think you are being very optimistic because with the crowd baying for blood and cheering loudly every illegal tackle then tell me those pros won’t leaving something on Liverpool players with glee especially if the ref of the day lets them get away with it. Obviously I hope I am wrong but with the experience we have in the derbies where we get regularly assaulted with quite meaty tackles which inevitably go unpunished. In a normal world the first bad tackle get sanctioned with a red then we might have a chance of having a competitive football game.
The problem with that is we will get punished instantly.
I don’t think they will have as much problems signing any young players as we are speculating because of this transfer. Money speaks eventually and we are underestimating the pull it has as evident from how the whole footballing world has changed. And the added factor of how stupid, short sighted and greedy the players and agents can be.
Remember when Trent got booked when Gordon fouled him ?
Newcastle guys don’t play fair.
Ok
For optimistic I would say realistic.
But I do get the point.
And @Bekloppt also.
But as @Walshy07 has stated, wrong thread.
On topic…
We sign him late next week.
It does, but Newcastle are significantly constrained by their unimpressive commercial position in the game. They already spend a very high % of their revenue on wages and need to get that under control before we move away from the PSR regs to the squad cost regs.
Semi related, one of the graphics doing the rounds shows Villa spending 95% of their revenue on wages. That puts their cartel complaints into context.
Even better would be any player wearing a shitty black and white striped shirt gets a red card before kick off ![]()
Pfff, amateurs! Cheaty spend more like 195%
Yes, I am the same. But what I think I mean, is that I would not want to have man such as he as a friend. He is…overall self obsessed and talks like he is the star of Terra/Tellus every single day.
But I admire him too, in an odd way. But he is terrible
But he was also an amazing footballer. One of the very best of his generation.
Increasingly doubt that this will happen…
I cant see it not happening. To cover my bases, only NU inability to bring in players will stop this from happening, however I think desperation forces them to make some desperate moves.
It’s not going change if you say it will or not.

is that legit?
Yeah just been on his official Instagram and it’s there.
No I just made it up ffs
Yes, it’s on his Instagram, strange question.
