    We'll get there. When Shearer stayed with us despite us turning to muck I never really questioned it, now it's seemingly accepted players leave.

    As regards Mbappe I stand by my response in the thread but will add that of course I'd have him (any club would) provided he takes a massive pay cut and doesn't rock the boat. It ain't happening.

    It's not about just having the best players (Chelsea have better players than us), Ronaldo at 54 is clearly better than Almiron but I wouldn't swap them.

    You're a top knacker straw clutcher, I'll give you that. Next time, I'll be sure to include each and every detail of the profile build up of player in question, just so that straw clutchers and simpletons can be in no doubt.

    In fact nah, I'll just continue to post in a way that most adults would be able to understand. If you'd continued to read through your own evidence re GG's "serious discussion" :rolleyes: you'd probably be able to understand my view on it. Probably.

    Shearer snapped his ankle didn't he?

    Then he came back to Dalglish being the manager, which from our point of view was a ****ing no brainer. Dalglish had won trophies throughout his career and was highly rated. Shearer agreed.

    Then Ruud was in charge for a season, Shearer came close to leaving Newcastle, but (likely) convinced the board to sack Ruud. After that Robson was in charge and we had a good few years and great football.

    I can see many chances for Shearer to leave that were prevented last minute.

    The Saudi’s want success and money is no object. Surely if there is a genuine chance of Mbappe (probably isn’t) then you’d take it as signing him would speed up the process (winning leagues and CL)

    Money seems to certainly be an object. It's a myth from neutrals that Newcastle are spending outlandish amounts. Spending is industry standard so far.

    I want us to spend more money like.

    As @Welshie says, money is an object. We just don't generate enough revenue to be able chuck all our eggs into one player like that, even if he could be convinced to come to Newcastle, which nobody is even trying to do.

    We've got years of building up the revenue streams to be able to compete with the "big clubs" in terms of wages. If we had an opportunity to sign him now, and the club did it, unless he came for peanuts (comparatively) it would totally **** us for squad development plans.

    That profile of player, no matter how good they are - the global superstar Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe mould is not the type of player we're after now.

    Made **** up to prove an incorrect point, was shown up for what it was, tried to claim it as a wind up.

    Fairly standard stuff, sadly.

    You should just accept when you are wrong or stfu (like Ern did), it's so much easier.

    I wasn't in any way indignant/triggered/wound up, but there's no way I'm reading your drivel and allowing it to go posted as fact.

    Unfortunately, you seem to see yourself as some sort of intellectual who can bluff his way round his own bullshit, but you're wrong on that as well.

    Fair enough, I just assumed they’d do what City and Chelsea do and create income with sponsors or just completely ignore ffp

    They've just quadrupled their income on one sponsorship with a Saudi company.

    I like Son to that there is no doubt.

    Kane for all his goals, has failed to see Spurs as a club win anything, so he gets thrown in the same basket as Stan Collymore and Matt Le Tiss, oh yeah and Steve Bull remember him. <laugh>

    Now class is someone like the great Chelsea man who died today, a trophy haul that Kane can only dream about...

    Player[edit]

    Chelsea
    Arsenal
    • European Cup Winners' Cup runner-up: 1979–80

    I will not include John's title at Swansea as Kane still has them years to come.

    When it comes to Chelsea's fire sale, is it a buyer's market or seller's?

    I'm calm, but not because you told me to be, just because getting would up on forum by people who's sole aim is to be on the wind up isn't really where I'm at.

    Work's done. Time for a racist and deluded refreshment.
