Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

All the reliable journo's have given the incredible update that James Trafford could be concluded as "early" as next week. Could, to be clear. This is the one that was due in June because of Burnley's PSR issues, then this week.

I mean, at this point it feels like it's a deliberate wind up. This deal has been going on since February 2024. I get the Saudi's can be slow, but this is even putting the term "inshallah" to ****ing shame. Almost feels like we don't actually want to sign players.

Other rumour is that because the "transfer committee" has been shrunk to just Howe Sr, Howe Jr and Steve "Joelinton's a £40m striker" Nickson, nothing could even happen til Howe Sr got back from his holibobs. I get we're earlier than expected into the "project" but this Dec marks the four year anniversary and I don't think even the most pessimistic of us - including me - would believe we'd have a SMALLER executive team and be slower in the market than Ashley was.

 

I mean, I get we're trying to be thorough, but at £20m is Malick Thiaw not worth a punt? Nobody can tell me he's a worse option than Lascelles or Krafth at RCB! Honestly, feels like we're terrified of buying someone. It's not like the £50m Palace are chucking at Sporting for Diomande.

Other links today about Guendouzi. Wasn't he absolute dogshit for Arsenal?

 

I saw a survey on tinternet today saying NUFC had 19% dissatisfied rating from their fans and I thought WTF ! Then I logged back on here.
Be careful, your all being watched!

 

Relax, EH is back from his holidays now.
I know when I go away I don’t turn my phone most of the time and never check work emails.
Just watch him go now , you’ll be blown away with the next 3years transfer business

 

Better hope Chippy doesn't turn or that figure could easy rise to 78%

 

Thiaw has rejected Como.
Available for less than £30m

 

£20m was what I was reading earlier, and yes it was us that’s been heavily reported as spoiling the move to como

 

Anything interesting happening?

 

Yes please

 

Err... looks like my neighbours have a new car.

 

I see we're going to buy Elanga and forest will rinse us and buy fofana

 

****ing dreadful idea. Newcastle are all over the place at the top.

 

Howe has full control.

 

Seems likely given absolutely **** all has happened since he’s been on holiday, but I really don’t like it, this will bite us - and him - on the arse. The trajectory will be expected to keep going and I have a feeling things will stall before long.

People forget that Elanga flopped badly at Man U and hasn’t been that great at Forest, he’s some way behind Aina, MGW, Murillo and even Wood, Anderson and others as a contributor. We’re being mugged off for him and this summer is going to be a mess.
