    Of course not because that's clearly a troll account. To be honest, that we're still in the conversation for Europe after the fucking bizarre season of injuries, is remarkable. Howe for manager of the season? :moursmall:

    I don't understand why Manchester United fans are furious that we want money and a period of gardening leave? Do they expect us to roll over and let them take a top executive from us? Especially one who will have been planning our transfer policy for the next 4-6 windows already? Plus all the...

    Re: your first point, happy to admit I'm wrong if you can prove it. Re: your other points, I'm not sure you understand what anticompetitive is then. Either everyone gets to trade with the Saudi League, or noone can. Either of those is fine by me.

    And Saudi Arabia (via PIF) don't own the club reportedly interested in Almiron. Your argument seems to be Newcastle United should not be allowed to trade with any club from Saudi Arabia, is that right? Sounds awfully anti-competitive Edit - Re: you P.S. you're right he's a winger, apologies...

    PIF don't own Chelsea. I assume you're referring to Clearlake Capital? That company manages billions worth of PIF investments, but suggesting they own Chelsea is disingenuous.

    Well, so far, we haven't. We've sold ASM for around his reported transfer value (and below the fee put forward by AC Milan earlier on) and the rumours around Neves never bore fruit, and this reported Almiron deal is again around his suggested market value. So far, we seem to be among the clubs...

    He hasn't even been sold yet, and you're already in a tizz about it. Did you also get this furious about the Neves loan deal that was never going to happen? For what it's worth, plenty of other PL clubs have sold their fading stars for big sums to the Saudi league, so why should we be prevented...

    What about CIES? They also have his value at around €30m. Quite a lot of the transfers seem to be for around the market values held on these two sites. Look at Spurs' deals this season. Transfermarkt valued Kane at around €110m, you got €95m. Harry Winks MV€12m, you got €11.6m, Brennan Johnson...

    Well, Transfermarkt has his 'Fair Market Value' at €30m so, we'll see.

    I hear they're penning a new Goal movie to take the 'Dream' to it's obvious conclusion. Be interested to see how much he goes for, and if people see a difference between the PIF owned clubs and the Saudi League in general.

    Is it? For Dortmund maybe (and the season isn't over yet so they could well catch up), but AC Milan have been finishing around 6th over the last decade. It wasn't called the Group of Death for a laugh.

    Something a full strength Newcastle might have been able to take advantage of. And to be fair, even our patched together squad managed to get within 30 minutes of progressing out of this season's 'Group of Death'. Mind you they both seem to be doing all right in their respective leagues. Both...

    And needed a confluence of events to make it happen for one season, even with the 8th biggest net spend in the 22/23 Premier League. I do give a shit about Villa and Brighton. So the FFP isn't really stopping bad owners from making bad decisions then is it?

    I'm frustrated by this because it makes breaking into the Champions Leagues spots all but impossible for a new challenger. Forget about Newcastle for a minute, what about Villa, what about Brighton? They cannot compete commercially with the likes of Chelsea, let alone Man Utd, so they have to...
