January window….

I'll volunteer to kick his lips and the rest of his fat face

 

I'm trying not too worry cause it's still early in the window but I'm concerned with how slow the new owners seem to move on everything.

 

I've literally just spat my drink out laughing at that one

 

Just sit on him mate, you'll cause him more damage that way

 

Cheeky twat, more meat on a butchers pencil than me!

 

Sounds like we've given up on Botman

 

You keep telling yerself that "porky" sure your namesake thinks the exact same

p.s remember the age comment

Supporting NUFC puts years on us all! I doubt I'd have started going grey in my mid 20s if I supported someone else

 

Aye it's the Athletic 1 i was sent, aren't they quite reliable?

 

....and here's me only just starting to get the odd one on my temples now at mid 40's.

 

They used to be but not so sure anymore, Caulkin got badly burned when the first Staveley takeover failed and he just hasn't interacted to the same extent since.

I've seen Ornstein mentioned as reliable in other places but don't know enough to have formed an opinion myself as of yet.

 

I am guessing here but there is going to come a time when JP Morgan (Lille creditor) start to say to Lille "You better ****ing accept that bid" I think we know something regarding their ****ty financial situation and are trying to exploit something. It's almost like there is determined effort not to start paying over the odds. I can understand that if we were 4 or 5 points above the drop zone and with a fully fit Callum Wilson.

Trying to play Billy Bog Bollocks with our only goalscorer out for 8 weeks is just plain ****ing dumb as **** at this point. So is hoping we can muster points to the point Gabon get knocked out the AFCON in the hope of loaning Aubameyang if that's the plan. That's just repeating the same ****ing mistake as letting Bruce have his last game, letting Jones have a few weeks and then hanging our hat on Howe.

I know we're desperate for quality central midfielders but we do have central midfielders - we have no striker and that has to be the priority.

 

Surely we can negotiate more than 1 player at a time? Like, can we not get players in every position at once or is it 1 week we look at defenders, then the next midfielders etc

 

Yeah, I think at the moment, right now, we need a CF and LB before Watford as an absolute minimum. Better full backs will make the defence better. A decent CF can at least convert the chances to give us a shot at scoring.

Then after that it's CM and CB again with each as critical as each other. That should be enough(ish) to get us through.

 

We have Celtics former disaster of football handling stuff with Nickson. Please tell me where you think either of these 2 ****ing idiots have experience in negotiating several deals at once?

Do you remember the Almiron deal? - That idiot was in the USA from November till the end of Jan working on that one.

 

Aye fair enough

 

Is it time to move on from Botman ??
if Lille are playing hardball then so should we, shouldn't we ?
