I wouldn't know, I've never had erection problems 😉👍

I can take or leave Guinness myself, although it does taste a lot better in a good Irish pub as opposed to a British bar where they just sling it out and pour it badly. A bad pint of Guinness is rotten. But you're of course free to drink warm gobblers knob or whatever it is you call beer/ale over there, I will take no offence 😉👍

Mitrovic might always be one of those players who's amazing in smaller teams because they'll build their side around him and play to his strengths, but whether he's good enough for the bigger clubs to make such accommodations is open to debate. If he scores 15, 20 goals this season it will be interesting to see what the conversation will be around him come the end of the season. There are of course teams who are looking for a 9 such as Chelsea, and if they get Aubameyang he'd only be a short term fix given his age.

Put down the stella mate, your head will thank you in the morning.

Ashley would have done something as stupid as mess about a player just to satisfy his own ego.

Whatever Ashworth thinks his value is and is willing to take for him. Not once did I say that we should just let Man U have him for less than he's worth.

😂 You need to find better things to get this animated about.

Literally never said that. I made it clear that we shouldn't just accept whatever they were offering.

This coming from the genius who thinks that not allowing a player to leave, a player who we've replaced, merely to one up another club, is a smart thing to do and won't have any harmful consequences for us as a club. Are Man U still going to be living inside your head rent free when we're routinely finishing above them year in year out?

It has nothing to do with buying Man U players, it has to do with building a good reputation in the football world, and not harming the team spirit we've built up in the squad since Howe has arrived. Dubravka is probably well liked in the dressing room, and if we used one player as a pawn it could make other players paranoid about their position going forward.

To be clear I'm not saying we should just accept whatever terms Man U put forward, I'm saying that using a player to get one up on an opposition team would likely hurt us as much if not more than Man U.

I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not. But the point is, again, that using a player like Dubravka, who's been a good servant for us these past few seasons, as a pawn in some petty game would be monumentally stupid on our part. We're trying to build a reputation as a good place for players to come to.

The club will likely only be thinking of being fair to the player. If the club fucks Dubravka about over his apparent dream move, when it's clear we've replaced him with Pope, it would look pretty bad to the squad. No need to be as petty as Man U, and cut our noses off to spite our faces. Plus they're under a new manager now, and Ten Hag seems like a decent enough guy.

I'd loved it to happen obviously, but it just seems unlikely that Leicester would allow Fofana and Maddison to go, that is unless they have multiple transfer targets ready to be bought with all the funds. Rogers did say something about his scouting and transfer team having done a great job of lining up players should Fofana go. On a side note Pedro scored and assisted today for Watford.

Trippier straight in there shaking his hand and welcoming him. Surely only a matter of time before Trips gets the armband permanently.

Looks like Fofana is finally away to Chelsea, so that likely puts the final nail in the Maddison coffin.

The Knight Rider reckons the Pedro deal isn't dead yet. How much of that is guess work from him or actual intel is debatable. As I've said if that tweet about Watford trying to mess us about over the price is true, then I can see Watford blinking first come the end of the window for the offer on the table.

There's also a rumour we're thinking about making a late bid of 15-20m for a 21 year old Danish midfielder off Celtic called Matt O’Riley. Don't watch much Scottish football myself, so I can't comment on his quality or lack there of.

It's saying we're after Rakitic not Delaney.

Info: Newcastle are interested in signing Iván Rakitic. The English club would be willing to offer approximately 10 M € + variables. Thomas Delaney also has offers. Diego, do you magic please. Rakitic was obviously some player in his day, but is 34 now, so the question is could he perform for a season or two for us at a sufficiently high level. Assuming of course that there is anything in this.

From the porn I've seen not only is it OK, but you're likely to attract a lovely young lady to come give you a hand.

From the thumbnail for a split second I thought he was in a wheelchair. Diversity gone fucking mad.

Yeah as I was saying the other day Moyes has a tendency to shit the bed, especially with high profile players, so I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham fail to repeat their heroics from last season, and at the very least I can't seem him maintaining that level beyond this season. Moyes' most successful years were at Everton when he had no pressure on him whatsoever, and he was still very up and down with them. Although that was perhaps understandable given lack of funds.
