Like who?Signings that mean we start winning stuff again. You know, like we used to.
We been sold a lieI don’t mate, if you read my posts you’ll see that the last thing I do is expect big signings, because I know who owns our club
What I do is question why we don’t make those signings
The only people with brains the size of 8 year olds are the ones that still back ENIC
They have zero idea just how rich we really are
Thought he was the reliable Jacob(s)?
I don’t get this… son and Kulu are not 9s we have one and full season plus Europa league we need another fucking striker not a Richy replacement

Because that’s the barometer for success is it? Not going bankrupt?Yeah fucking ENIC right? Had they just bankrupt us years ago so we could party all night long
Why is Isak unrealistic? He’s at Newcastle, a club with an even shitter recent history than us
We are more than rich enough to afford him and he’d leave that cesspit there to come down to London any day
But you’re doing what Levy wants, you’re writing signings like him off as unrealistic

You need to see the light pal

Players say what their agents tell them toIsak has said himself he wants to stay. He went there because of the project to win things and he feels at home there.
Again, if the selling club don't want to sell and the player doesn't want to leave. It's UNREALISTIC.
Woolwich, the super dooper ambitious club, ruled themselves out of signing him this summer because of the fact.
We were rich enough to sign Mbappe mate. He'd still laugh at the fucking fact that Spurs fans thought they had a chance.

If we dumped 130 million at Newcastles door I promise you we’d leave with Isak
Not just on the pitch, but off it
Let people know we are a club that want to be at the top and will do what is needed to get there
its not because of the stadium - it’s because we are in the Europa league and we’re not chucking oil money at players.We dont have to accept that at all. Thought that was the whole point of the stadium move. It’s just that we've got conditioned over 20 to 25 years to think that way. Not to say i think it’s sensible always buying ready made stars but sometimes, for the right player it should be an option.
To be honest, after last summer and even Jan with Dragusin / Bergval, I went into this window with renewed optimism, then delighted with Archie Gray early business... then it looks like its all back to normal for us.
Still time, meltdown for me is scheduled for Friday 16th August 19:59pm.
As I said earlier I’m not expecting those signingsit's unrealistic because the person in charge of the club is very realistic, Newcastle would want at least 120 million, that's probably on the low end also. yes we could probably afford it but that is not how we are run, it never has been .
now please be excited for much much cheaper alternatives
We don’t need Bruno, we need IsakWhilst we're at it, let's throw in an extra £100m for Bruno too.
