Interesting watch
@Dr Gloom go to 6:50 on that video. I agree with this lad about Pedro, not sure if I've seen him play wide too often. I've seen him at 10 and 9. If we get Elanga and don't sell anyone we don't really need him to cover the flanks either. That's an absolute best case scenario obviously...

38 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said:yes, obviously. which is why i think we'll sign another versatile forward who can cover CF as well as a wide position, instead of a specialist CF. i don't know if that player is elanga, joao pedro or someone else we haven't been linked with yet but i suspect it'll be someone with versatility so we can let wilson go and keep osula as third choice.
it would be great to get a new RW and a specialist CF to cover Isak but it blows a massive amount of the budget. i'm not sure we have the cash to get players in all the positions we have been rumoured to be upgrading (CF, RW, RCB, CM and GK) without significant outgoings.
We're not going to get everything on your shopping list. It's financially impossible to. We didn't last season either and we all know how that turned out. It's not that I was happy myself last September (last summers window was very publicly a disaster) but if Cordero is a midfielder and we get a couple of forwards and a CB that will probably be it. Of course I might be completely incorrect on all that, yeah I know that sounds unbelievable etc etc 😆

Im under the assumption we will buy at least 1 striker and 1 player that can fill in there (eg an Mbeumo or Pedro type) - who will all be above Osulu in the pecking order.
Yeah but look at the injury situation the last time we qualified for Europe...

I don't think Osula will be loaned out due to us having at least 8 extra games before mid January and still being behind the likes of Villa squad wise. We need bodies and loaning out anyone including Cordero strikes me as nuts tbh

He needs to have a season on loan somewhere. Hopefully a lower PL team.
We didn't loan out Hall or Tino...not sure we should be loaning out the Spanish lad either..

In the last 72 hours, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran when negotiations between Washington and Tehran were still ongoing.
Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected.
In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.
At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense.
Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran.
It’s time for a reality check:
Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning.
Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3.
Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars.
One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply.
That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a wider regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war?
We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks. Iranian Shahed-136 Drones cost $20,000 each. American Patriot Missiles cost $4 million per interceptor.
Do the math. We will run through our inventory of missiles and go broke while Americans come home in boxes.
The Middle East is on the brink. Here's what Washington must do to defuse conflict:
1. Ask for an Emergency UN Security Council meeting. Ask for an Immediate ceasefire making it clear that Washington opposes the destruction of Iran, Israel and any other state in the Middle East.
2. Demand that Israel stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and withdraw its forces from Gaza and the West Bank.
3. Suspend all military aid to Israel until Israel agrees to remove its troops from Gaza and permit humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Gaza.
4. Propose the commitment of Armed Forces from non-aligned nations to police Gaza and the West Bank. 5. Propose that the United States, Russia, China, India and Brazil convene a peace conference to arbitrate the dispute between Israel, Iran and Israel’s neighbors.
I led American Soldiers under fire into action. I've seen plenty of flag-draped coffins. I don’t want to see any more. Washington’s warmongers had 22 years. They failed. They lied.
They profited while America bled. Time's up.
America First means AMERICA FIRST. Not Israel first. Not Ukraine first. Not NATO first. AMERICA FIRST.

When we finally do make a proper signing the forum will just keep deleting any posts about it, to the point where no one knows what to believe anymore. Limbo’s telly.
Is it the same amount of data that gets removed each deletion or is it growing, blob-like (not overtime), and will ultimately remove all of Alex’s half a million posts? And all the images less than 399.36kb?
Either way, I hope we’ve got some deals ready to go because we will be fucked next season without at least 4 new seniors. Hopefully some of the youth start breaking through or what’s the point of them? Endless supply of youthful but conveniently inept wingmen for JT?
This post will self-destruct before any cunt reads it.

I hate punk, am not going to call it music.
Fair enough, but musical virtuosity was the opposite of what it was about. It was more "any fucker can do this, not just those cunts in Genesis'..

And the Sex Pistols could see, although listening to their musicianship that could be in doubt.
If you're complaining about the SP's musical ability you've sort of missed the point

Comparing the BB and the Beatles is like comparing Andrea Bocelli and the sex pistols. 2 completely different music styles. I prefer the BB to the Beatles but that’s just personal taste.
So you're telling me there's not a valid comparison to be made but if you personally were to compare them you prefer the Beach Boys?
The Beatles didn't sound like the Stones, the Kinks, the BB's or anyone else tbh because after the first 3 albums the next 4 or 5 sounded completely different to one another ... the ramping up from rubber soul > revolver > Sgt Pepper is said the be the greatest progression in popular music. I think during that time the BB's only released Pet Sounds. You're right it doesn't sound like any of the Beatles record from round then. Am certainly not an expert on them but I don't think they altered their style too much if at all during the rest of the 60s? Not sure like, happy to be corrected on that.. suffice to say BB's and Beatles were very complimentary about each others' work..they and the others were definitely musical rivals..,

Oh I'm not sure. As tremendous players as they were, HBA in 5th and Waddle in 4th are definitely up for debate
Top 3 surely has to be Beardsley, Gascoigne and Ginola in no particular order.I'd have Waddle in for Ginola tbh...he was here 5 years and actually achieved something in his time at the club, Ginola was here 2 years and spent half of that time in the huff because Keegan wouldn't let him go to Barca 😑

Using “God Only Knows” as the example, I think it’s because1- He did it first
2- Used/invented studio techniques to get multi-layered harmonies that were groundbreaking, at the time.
3- wasn’t his cunt cousin, Mike Love.
Like a lot of music from that era, people have become, perhaps not blasé about it, but have heard it so much they’re used to it.
Everthing that followed it using the same, or improved, techniques probably also now falls into that category, so the uniqueness of his talent has become dulled with time.
I absolutely love some Beach Boys tracks, unbelievable sound and vibe.I seem to remember reading that Brian Wilson spent hours listening to Sgt Pepper because it had massively outsold Pet Sounds and he was trying to work out why. If I compare them (and SPLHCB is nowhere near my favourite Beatles album) I like Sgt Pepper a lot more; I like the sort of mixture of psychedelia & old time music hall it has. Pet Sounds figuratively and literally sounds like it comes from a different culture; I think I was an adult when I first listened to it but the Beatles were still fuckin everywhere through my childhood in spite of splitting up around the time I was born... BBs just leave me a bit cold...

Transfers, 2024-25 season
in Newcastle Forum
Posted
If a player is cheap and foreign they're also likely to be inexperienced . Think Howe maybe wants premier league proven in certain positions. The young ones have turned us down lately, eg Kushanov, Tosin..there are others...
