Jim Radcliffe waved his cheque book at him maybe?

Henderson and Mane gone, VVD and Salah getting on. Maybe he knows the clubs got a massive rebuild coming up and he doesn't want to sully his legacy there. Either that or the tabs have caught up with him

Bentaleb vibes about this one.

Might do thanks. I've got a £300k life insurance policy to cover the term of the mortgage. So if I peg it before 60 the house will be paid off and the family will have a chunk left over. If I die after 60 then they will at least be mortgage free

This is tempting on salary sacrifice. It will hammer my pension, but a brand new, taxed, insured, serviced car with free repairs and breakdown cover for £289pm is hard to beat. Particularly as I get free charging at work (for now)

Well I can't draw my pension until I'm 68. But if I can get the mortgage paid off by 60, and don't have a wedding/university to fund for the bairn, I'm hoping to go part time for the final 8 years. I'm on a career average pension and I should be at the top of a band 8C in a few years so hoping I can afford the pension hit.

Still think selling Bruno would be a mistake, but it would effectively allow us to spend £400mil on transfers this Summer

Looks like Bayern are onto their 3rd choice RB

Im not particularly savvy with pensions. Been paying into my NHS pension for 18 years. Currently get a lease car through work that knocks me into a lower pension bracket. When the lease ends in December I'll be back to paying the best part of £200 more a month in pension contributions. Part of me thinks "get another lease car, you might be dead by 68", where another part of me thinks I'm knacking my final pension.

The possibilities are endless,” one source told i and Newcastle will be one of Adidas’ seven “elite clubs”, joining the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Four new kits are in the works, along with a new line of retro wear that will lean heavily on the club’s mid-Nineties “Entertainers” era.

I hope you were a better Sofa salesman than a crypto salesman with patter like that mind

Id be telling him his position is due an upgrade in the Summer, so he's fine to stay, but he will be a squad player next season. May as well take the money and run Miggy!

I'd be gutted if we sold Bruno mind. Botman, Bruno and Isak are the spine we should be building the team around

33

Depends how hamstrung we are by FFP. With Tonali and Joelinton out for the season, the gaping hole in our midfield may be more of a miss than swapping Trippier with Tino at RB imo

Thats a decent offer for a 33 year old when we've already signed his replacement

We've missed a trick here mind. We were his first choice by all accounts. And currently have 2 fit senior CMs

Wilson and Solanke have almost identical records at Bournemouth. Surrounding Wilson with better players got him 18 goals in 31 games last year. His issue is he can't stay fit. Solanke has only missed 9 games through injury in the last 4 seasons.

Doesn't MGW play as a CM or CAM for Forest? I'd take him in a heartbeat, but he's not an Almiron replacement

Beckham and Giggs did ok as orthodox wingers too (to add balance to the argument )

Why can't we have a creative right footer on the right wing? Almiron's main weakness was he was incapable of putting a cross in on his right foot once he had beaten his man

Just got a bill for £1268 to fix the wife's car. FML
