Could have invested in a better CB than Lenglent by using the Kulusevski money if we were going to get Maddison anyway. At least we improve 2 positions with Vicario and Maddison, so that is great news.
 
There were lots of spurs “fans” queuing up last week to tell us how much more of a bigger draw Newcastle were than us. So it doesn’t surprise me. We always seem to have a group of “fans” who want to belittle us at any chance. We all know who they are. He was never going to that north east backwater over us and London.
I was one of them . I'm surprised and very pleased we have signed him. I think if other big clubs were in for him we wouldn't have stood much chance .
Also lovely to see he is not another punt .
Angelos has something to work with
 
A friend of mine was due to propose to his then girlfriend (happily, now wife) on a rooftop bar in London a few years ago.

After many sitcom worthy interruptions, he was just about to do the traditional down on one knee...when guess who turns up with a gang of Instagram models, 3 lads with the same haircut and awful dress sense and Drake blaring from his phone...

James Maddison.

Since then he's hated him. But never mind, my friend is a Spammer.
did she say yes? :ange-arms:

Homegrown players always seem to cost more than those from abroad, who in some cases can still do the job.
You have to trust the club, and hope that finally they are getting decisions correct.
We batter the club when things are wrong, we need to praise when, they look to be doing the right thing.
 
Weird thing to say when POK has literally said talks are ongoing.

Might not happen, but clearly discussions are being had...

Recognize the pattern in our transfer dealings.

Maddison is this summer's Richarlison splash.

Tapsoba will be this summer's Bastoni.

There will be a fully understandable reason it doesn't happen.

Then we will spend the next few years arguing about how it wasn't because the club didn't try.

Unless Kane goes, the 40m on Maddison means our 2 CBs will be Tosin and Lenglet IMO.
 
I agree.

I did listen to it for a while but was way too reactionary and it became very predictable.

Win a match = all the players are great, will we turn it around etc

Lose a match = sell the players, the manager is crap, Levy out.
Bang on, that's exactly how they do it. And it gets old rather fast if I'm honest.

Also proper annoys me how they pat each other on the back to the extreme. Everybody on the panel is fantastic, makes excellent points...when more often than not they're just stating the obvious (or pure garbage in say Matty Hayes' case). The sucking gets even cringier when they invite journos on...all of a sudden journos you'd never heard of are "top tier" writers. Know Ricky's gotta big up his product but come on...

Gonna be a loyalist and say the Fighting Cock Podcast with Flav is much better! I like the fact the podcast isn't straight after the game, they actually give themselves a chance to analyse and think about stuff rather than reactionary crap.
Gotta admit I've never listened to TFC poddy but I'm gonna give it a go. Thanks pal!

I agree that the club definitely did the right thing getting Vicario and Maddison. Dont agree with the Lenglet(if made permanent) and the Kulusevski signings. So its half good half bad . But we had lenglet/kulu before , so adding Vic/Maddision makes us better overall. So great news. Hopefully we do buy a proper CB as well (and get rid of some of the very very bad ones we've collected over the years).
