    Howe is probably considering leaving too I feel..they might be thinking wait until he's ****ed off then give the next manager the coin.

    We have no choice to wait like

    I mean, it's not like it's a democratic vote to pull the trigger. We just sit about and wait.

    Hate that nugget of wisdom. Thanks for the advice, I'll stop calling Howe then.

    We're just boring, hope we stop signing league 1 GKs and some randoms from Mordor like we have been.

    So all we have is contradictions all over the place. Read we won’t pay asking prices, yet Harvey Barnes says otherwise. We need players to be “Howe fit”, yet are in no rush to sign anyone. Repeated claims of knowing where we need to strengthen, yet we cant seem to find or attract anyone better than Krafth, Wilson, Murphy or Almiron. Focus on youth, sell our best prospect because we’d rather refuse Jan offers for Wilson, Almiron and Trippier.

    I dunno fellas we feel really rudderless or conflicted right now, it’s not sitting right. Felt the same last Summer when we just didn’t address priorities.

    That’s the thing. We don’t get the teases like before, it just drops on us.

    So apparently there is add on’s with Odysseus. He’s actually quite highly rated despite initial showings. Forrest have stipulated a 20% sales clause and performance bonuses on number of first team appearances, European qualification (not sure if CL or any but will take a guess at CL) and trophy wins.

    £5m transfer to Forest from Benfica, then managed 5 PL apps and conceded 12.

    Just stop at this point, it’s a mystifyingly stupid transfer even if PSR was the issue. Not sure it’s a coincidence that we spunk £23m on this clown and Staveley walks within the next few days.

    How did it end up being 23m euros when initially I thought it was 7m euros. Is this where the clauses and stuff come in?

    Or is it just switch aroo mechanics to get around FFP?

    Both teams did each other a favour for PSR.

    Let's be honest Andersons a £10m player at best

    lol. Well the 23m euros amount is real. I can’t believe we have spent that much on this 30 year old clogger.

    We could have at least asked for a decent player off them though.

    These two transfers stink of dodgy dealings.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if it investigated.

    I know some people like watching YouTube vids . And if you watch him in his Benfica days he looks good. Then again Darwin Nunez looked good there too as did a ton of overpaid ****e.

    He's never actually scored for us vs Hull

    Full debut preseason was against Hibs where he did score. Played 2nd half vs Preston prior to that, but didn't score.

    Prem League debut was against Arsenal - didn't score, then did get his first competitive goal vs Spurs away as noted previously by my learned friend.

    So, apart from confusing Hull, Hibs, Preston, Arsenal and Spurs, you've knocked this one put of the park, Chaos ....

    Nobody was talking about Joelinton.

    Magdad just pulled it out of nowhere... ironically because it went over his head.

    2.Magpie reference Dennis wise.

    4.You did that went over my head.

    4. You posted something about Joelinton because it went over your head and ironically said it went over mine.

    We both know the conversation wasn't about that comment.

    You just didn't figure it out...ironically my comment followed your insinuation that something went over my head.
