Music….Daniel by Elton John

Daniel is leaving tonight on a plane
Heading to Lisbon, no stopping in Spain
I can see Daniel , chequebook in hand
Going to sign Morgan,so I understand.

They say Daniel has now made a bid
And the big,fat Greek guy wants to get rid
But Daniel is feeling a little unsure
Cause the Greek guy wants twenty more quid

Daniel my friend you are tighter than me
You will never ,ever pay such a big fee
Your chequebook is closed and put safely away
Safely locked up so you don’t have to pay.

Daniel is returning today on a plane
Smiling a lot and no stopping in Spain
And it looks like Daniel
Has done sod all once again.
More likely Sorry seems to be the hardest word?

Not sure about the ❤️
 
Palhinha reminds me a bit of the discussion around James Ward-Prowse in windows past.

He's a specialist, elite at one particular thing, but that's about all there is to him.

In both cases you'd better have a plan to use and highlight and maximize that one particular thing if you're going to have him in the team. You wouldn't say West Ham have succeeded on that score with JWP.
Do think one thing Palhinha has over JWP is that Palhinha can play football.
 
Honestly, what on earth is going on at Newcastle?

They are not up against PSR, they are in the Champions League, and they have the richest owners in world football.

And they're selling their best player? Is Saudi giving up on the Premier League? Are they going to buy us instead?
They don't generate a lot of money so they can't spend it. Take 23/24 season. Even with Champions League they generated 320m to our 518m and we had no European football.
 
Imagine the state of this window had we not won in Bilbao and missed out on CL

Basically substitute Kudus for Glen Murray

But we DID win in Bilbao and we ARE in the CL.

So we got Kudus.

No need to imagine fake scenarios bruh.

We’re gonna sign Isak too. I heard from a friends second cousin who posts on SC as ‘The Rooster ITK’

The CL final run miracle, the initial sugar rush of Conte and the EL trophy have done an awful lot to mask how precipitously our competitive standing has fallen since the barren summer of 2018.

We've taken 427 points from the seven seasons since that summer all told. We took 507 points from the seven seasons prior to that.

And it was 406 in the seven years prior to that, which began with Jacques Santini.

We're in the process of returning to where we came from. This CL boost is a major, major opportunity to reverse that decline, but here we are letting that opportunity go begging.

League has become hugely more competitive since then.
