And I thought the Muppet Show finished years ago. Yet I come on here to an extended Stadtler and Waldorf Special. If only there was a scrap of evidence to support the whining it would be possible to consider it BUT…

<laugh>
There’s just no need for this. He’s allowed his opinion. What’s yours as opposed to attacking people?

Genuinely want your actual opinion on the recent events?
 
It’s a pre season friendly where ALL the squad get minutes to play.

And if Ornstein said it, it must be true. <doh> So what exactly did we do wrong with Trafford? City had an option, as I understand it, they eventually exercised that option 14 minutes before it expired. We bid higher and they still have the option; we bid earlier and they still have the option. So other than complaining in generals how about saying specifically what we did wrong and what different would you have done.

Same point to CC.
That’s a fair point. The Trafford situation is unfortunately a situation of we couldn’t do the deal.
 
I want your opinion on recent events since the season end. Rather than abuse people for theirs why don’t you give us yours based on what has happened thus far.

Waiting for the end of the transfer window isn’t an opinion you plonker.
Do you realise this comes across as antagonistic as ****. We’ve strengthened currently, we’ve got rid of 2 players who hardly did anything on the pitch. We still have Isak currently and we’ve brought in a rapid right winger. Enjoy the ****ing ride man. This is what you signed up to when it was relegation battles back in the day.
 
I know I'm one for knocking our clubs sluggishness in the windows, I envy the clubs who go out and just grab who they want.

But for a dose of reality, we haven't actually sold Isak yet ... We have only lost out on two players Etikite (someone I care so little about I can't even remember to spell his name) and Trafford (that one was annoying)

I hear now we are looking at Aaron Ramsdale, could be an improvement.

Sesko is a name that intrigues me, I really hope we sign him.
 
I don’t think Newcastle have looked this relatively pathetic in a summer since we finished 5th and signed Vurnon Anita.
12D chess. We've cleverly positioned our rivals, and man utd, into signing players, so when we move for the real targets, we do so unopposed. It was us getting Fab, and jacobs and ornstein to tweet that crap.
Honest.
 
We are so passive and pedestrian it’s absolutely terrible.

We are walking passing sideways constantly. Not one player is willing to go forward.

Eddie Howe has a problem here.
