    Strongly disagree. I think we have moved faster than Chelsea for Pedro. There's no way Pedro's agents haven't been talking to Chelsea, us and plenty of other teams. We made the 1st bid, Chelsea have followed suit...

    Really good player but with the timing and money involved I do wonder if it’s a square peg in a round hole for a lot of money kind of thing. with other areas being a higher priority at present than a really good luxury player.

    Also when you think about it.

    Pedro at £60m over 5 years is a £12m a year commitment for psr. plus say £140k a week would take it to £19m a year.

    Vlahovic at £30m is £6m a year over 5 years plus £220k a week takes him to £17m a year.

    £10m cheaper over the period.which pretty much pays Jonathan David’s agents fees too <laugh>

    Bellingham and Wharton would like to have a word with you…

    heck even Palmer is only 6 months older than Anderson.

    I think he’s been good this tournament and decent for Forest but he’s not there yet and a reason he’s playing for under 21s and not full England squad like those mentioned above.

    You mean Elliott for Gordon and £40m surely? <whistle>

    Id hope we wouldn’t go anywhere near Gordon. Very average winger who has ok end product but spends half the time on the floor. Gakpo and Diaz far superior players

    Henderson is playing for the seniors means nowt. It's just who's picked. Players move to a big 6 club and over night they are good enough.

    The meltdown on Twitter from nufc fans is hilarious.

    Puts Roly and GG to shame

    Seriously man, some of these people are nowt more than fair weather cheerleaders. They're not fans or supporters. They don't encourage or support anything, they don't take joy in anything, they simply pick faults and spout utter ****e........ Twitter is the world's worst invention for some of these idiots.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some fools on Twitter are actually fans of other clubs having a laugh pretending to be Toon fans.

    Which is what our recruitment team has done, and seemingly deemed him not worth as much as Brighton want.

    It's what they did with Gordon who had one goal in a year at Everton. Pedro is still a player we want and Chelsea also unfortunately.


    He's a very good player.

    The thing is they never learn! They never want players we sign and then end up pretending they always rated them.

    They only want the fancy names even if they've never seen them play.
