    I don't think we're signing Marc Guehi anyway at this stage. The figures Palace are likely to quote versus what we think he's worth are simply too far apart. We'll look elsewhere I suspect.

    Not bad, needs tongue out and drool though, and creepy "I have you now" stare.

    But yeah, that pic was ****ing weird the first time, never mind the ten thousandth time.

    I think that particular phase is passing now really, I don't think we'll be seeing so much of the pictures overtaking chat as most (myself included despite the above) prefer the actual conversations to the passing of images back and forth. A relevant one can be funny but the same things spammed over and over are a bit like a kid asking the qeustion "why" relentlessly. Eventually you just lose the will to try and communicate back.

    ps. Not sure if the image was already deleted by a mod, I went to get rid of it after a few minutes like I'd suggested and couldn't find it on the post? No issue either way as I was planning on deleting it but it confused my little brain.

    Well yeah, gifs and memes can be funny when they're a punchline or something witty.

    Constant photos and gifs that are irrelevant and repeated though are tedious and make actually conversations hard to follow.

    He seems to be cracking on with us quite nicely at the moment also. He was definitely unsure when he signed and I think more people than we know, knew about the upcoming ban but it appears he is thinking I've found myself a good gig here for the time being. I mean who wouldn't, great bunch of lads, winning cups smashing the oppo every week.

    I think I've reached the point where there's no reason to doubt any signing Newcastle make.

    I mean, there's now none that haven't worked out. The sides also won a trophy without making any significant purchases, which proves they were right not to settle for things, when it comes to recruitment.

    Got for nothing and sold for £20m 6 months later. Sounds like a great deal to me.

    Even that was good business, commercially.

    Nothing? It might have been a ‘free’ but if we’d paid a fee he wouldn’t have been getting £150,000 pw or £7.8M pa. Juve haven’t bought him yet and I would guess we are subsidising his wages until purchase is finalised in the summer. Plus I would guess his signing on fee was more generous than ‘usual’.

    We will probably still make a profit on him but my comment was essentially aimed at the footballing aspect. No Club has a 100% success rate but I figure since the takeover we have done better than most despite Roly’s claims in the past. <laugh>

    Got one.

    Hesitant to say yes as no detail and I need to know my part to see what my motivation is.

    Oh yeah. The only fan who goes to a match with a 6’ X 3’ flag of himself.
