    We are ****ed this season unless we buck up our ideas.

    Isak - Can forget any move this summer.

    Muniz - Stay the hell away from him. Only 22 goals in over 80 appearances. He is ****.

    My mates are Burra fans and they said that when he was on loan there he hardly played and when he did he was absolute sh*te

    Who the **** is even suggesting these players? Eddie Howe? Andy Howe, or both? If you have designs on top 4 you do not sign ****e like him.

    We are in this mess because we target players that are not interested and penny pinch when they are.

    Get Andy Howe out of the club.

    How Isak wasn't offered a new contract after the cup win and tail end of last season is baffling. How we've ended up with Elanga - who looks half the player Jacob Murphy is - for £55m is equally strange.

    Every man and their dog knew what was needed this summer:
    A RCB and a RW as a priority, GK and a second striker after that, then replace what leaves. So far we've managed to lose more than we've bought in, only addressed one of the priority positions and now face losing the gem in our crown and having to replace it with a pebble off the beach.

    Who ever is in charge of recruitment needs moving on asap and get someone competent in to actually buy some ****ing players.

    Andy Howe is head of recruitment.

    Mitchell was right about the recruitment - Not fit for purpose. He was clearly having a pop at the likes of Andy Howe.

    We sign Cordero from Malaga. Bearing in mind he's played 55 games in La Liga for them. What do we do? Loan him out to a Belgian Second Division team. Real and Barca were after him. He should be in the first team squad. Whose decision was it to loan him out? I think we know who. The same person that wants Premier League players and thinks that only a small group can improve us.

    We're now linked with Muniz. He is ****ing ****.

    Isak was offered a new contract, he turned it down :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Elanga is good and we're about to get a good keeper on loan for this season. If we get Wissa that only leaves CB as a priority.

    Cordero's appearances were all in the third and second tiers of Spanish football. Zero La Liga appearances then, not 55.

    We've been being linked to Muniz since the very beginning of the transfer window, as a Wilson replacement. Yeah, Wissa would be better, but Muniz wasn't, hasn't been, isn't being linked as an Isak replacement... Except now, by a media circus which has been trying desperately to destabilise our club, in tandem with the 'big' 6 clubs, all summer. They've obviously all been stung into an urgency to do something about our insurgency, following yet another successful season last year.

    To little to late in regards to Isak from what we know, we should have been at it from February and making him offers he couldn't refuse. "£300k p/w you say? No problem and would you like a hooker for every day of the week with that sir?".

    Elanga looks disappointingly average from what little I've seen of him so far, not exactly a name anyone was shouting about from the roof tops prior to his arrival and Forest fan's didn't seem to be to sad to see him leaving, also if I see him take one more corner I'm going to flip a lid, taken about 4/5 so far and not beaten the first man yet, pretty sure I remember a Forrest fan saying it would happen and its not even the mid point of pre-season and I'm sick of his corners already.

    Ramsdale - as good as it's got so far, rate him way higher than Pope but unless we shift, Gillespie, Ruddy, and Odyseas or Dubravka we are wasting to much on GK's wages for players who aren't going to play.

    RCB - needed and has been probably the most glaring missing piece of the puzzle for a while now bar the RW. Genuinley looks like Krafth and Lascelles are going to get game time this year in there currently and that is more than enough to worry me.

    Also need a CM now to cover Longstaff's depature and Willock's injury, only good thing about that is Miley is looking dependably solid in the middle so fingers crossed he get's some time OR Howe is forced away fro mthe flat middle 3 to a 4-2-3-1 or similar.

    It has been a bit of a cluster **** thus far, just hoping that YAR turning up is a sign we are about to pull our finger out.

    Rating for the window up to 30/7/25 (one month to go) "D-"

    Septic 6 have definitely recruited loads of social media sites/agents to push the agenda that they want, which at present is to destabalise a team that has threatened them for 3 years now. Cant be losing out of Europe too often because of a poxy little north east club can they.
    Villa and their fans be careful because you're next.

    Yes. A lot of people are starting to see things for what they are. And I’m not even saying things and yet getting pulled into comments.

    It is what it is. The season will start and we will be either prepared or not.

    But things are not right at the club and have not been since Mandy left.

    If Howe and his nephew have battled in the back ground for full control and then failed miserably they should hang their heads.

    Absolutely diabolical.

    Hung another bloke out to dry in the process and he was right.

    We did say months ago this would happen. However because Howe won a pot he was given godlike status.

    He’s a manager. He’s not anything else but.

    We were never in control of Isak's destiny, if he stays great....but it's like when Man U sold Ronaldo, Liverpool sold Suarez, Spurs sold Bale etc....the player is something special and is gonna leave for a superstar move.

    Still a month to go, bad so far, but still time for things to change.

    Anyone reading between the lines is told they're a bedwetter, but the fact is those people simply saw the situation and figured it out, while the others appealed to some higher power.
