Reply | How not to run a football club by Newcastle United ...
at 19:09 12 Aug 2025
If Liverpool hadnt bid this wouldn't be happening and they have tried over and over again for strikers.
Delap, Sesko, Wissa, Jao Pedro. And I'm sure they have offered big wages too.
Its a tough market, they want players to help them make the leap and that means competing against the established teams, Chelsea, Arsenal, City, Utd.
Aston Villa, v similar place to Newcastle atm and finding it equally tough this summer |

Yes but none of them have cost very much have they, maybe Saturday is just them bedding in and cost doesnt automatically equate to quality of course but have they unearthed 11 gems?
We'll see but that average player cost suggests a very different market place to us |

Its difficult for a lot of clubs isnt it.
Obviously not direct comparisons given different division but I imagine in some (not all) instances we might be looking at similar player profiles but look at the following
1. Newcastle hardly signed anyone, lost out on most of their preferred targets, best player wants his big move.
2. Palace, very little movement in, Glasner frustration, big name departures, Guhei looks like getting sold or leaving next summer for free.
3. Bournemouth, lost their entire back 4 now (bringing in the tune of £150m in the process) struggled to replace with real quality.
4. Everton, looks like they might be about to get Grealish on loan which is a great signing for them but its been a long window comming, struggled to add players.
On the other hand Sunderland really going for it but are the they getting quality.
As I say, not directly comparing but I think it illustrates what a tough window it is, esp for us who are looking for players who can step up with us but are prepared to that from the championship [Post edited 11 Aug 18:36]

No. Brum are now loaded and dont need to sell, well backed and ambitious so hes unlikely to want away plus hes got a big contract there. They also paid a fortune for him so would cost more than we'd want to pay or than hes worth |

Cajuste ah ha ah ah I like him.
Worth it if saves us having to refer to ourselves as 'switch in any song ever. |

I've always enjoyed Lucan on here I have to say, I missed the thread that led to the ban but I am aware that Phil does not banish those that transgress lightly but I have to say ibalwsys found him entertaining and would like to do so again |

Anyone have a pet tortoise?
Mrs B and T wants a pet tortoise and I am considering getting her one for her birthday.
Before I do I'd like to get a better sense of what is involved. I have done some reading but keen to hear from anyone who actually owns one, esp on the following.
Indoor vs outdoor. I gather for the latter they need good sized enclosure 10 x 6 ft or so? We have a smallish garden and i don't want to lose too much space from it.
For Indoor id love to hear about any thoughts with regard to open table top vs a vivarium enclosure and any suggestions as to a good small breed to consider.
Any other general tips or things you wish you knew before getting one?
Thanks all |

Pretty sure I was in last year but dont seem to be in this year, I did expect it to be auto renewed.
Possible that I was just too crap last year to make the cut again |

I think it was against Shrewsbury Town in a league cup game somewhere between 88 and 92 id guess. I fell asleep midway through the 2nd half. |
