Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 14/15)

I never said i thought it was true, i just did the math with Cabella and Cabaye... I agree is ridiculous. I was just stating what i read, you took it the wrong way. I even said in my original post i bet its a pre-agreed fee in the contract. If you know it is ridiculous, then why have you been makin...

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 14/15)

Was just what I read in TSF's book, but please do go on since you know so much about football contracts... I know enough about contracts to know what you are saying is ridiculous. And TSF is talking about being paid up for outstanding wages and bonuses not the remainder of a contract. Seriously, th...

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 14/15)

I remember mentioning that players get the remainder of their contracts paid however someone said it's only a years salary or a pre-agreed bonus. Think it all depends on whats agreed in the contract. Makes good business sense for us to get 6 year contracts in that regard, if what was rumoured Cabel...

Re: Signings #8 and #9: Jamaal Lascelles and Karl Darlow

I don't really have a problem with sports direct advertising with us, its the ridiculous over saturation of it that pisses me off. I wouldn't be surprised if that alone reduces the value of other advertising spots available at the club I'm almost sure it would, if you owned a business would you wan...

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 14/15)

In the TSF book I think he mentioned Robbie Keane being an example of exploiting this by moving clubs quite regularly and getting large sums for leaving clubs as well as signing on bonuses etc.

Re: NUFC Player Numbers for 14/15 Revealed (officially)

Benny number 26... kind of sad to see, been my favourite player since that Everton goal and then demoted to second favourite after Cabs <awe>,

Can't see him getting any playing time this season, something tells me it's a lot to do with HBA's attitude to other players and not just Pardew.

Re: Up to £15m Fee Agreed for Lacazette?

£15m is some serious cash. How much will we spend this window if this deal goes through?

Re: Signings #8 and #9: Jamaal Lascelles and Karl Darlow

That seems mental though, not announcing a signing for a whole year? Chelsea often sign players and loan them out straight away.

NFFC have just bought Assombalonga for £5.5m though so i guess that's why they needed the money.

Re: Football Related Books Thread

Soccernomics is a good read if you're into statistical analysis, it also goes into how clubs become successful and looks at Lyon in that regard. Inverting the Pyramid is also a great read if you're into tactical side of the game. Starts from the very beginning and come right up to the 21st century. ...

Re: 14/15 Kit Thread

That kit was amazing. Was never sure on a half and half kit but that looked quality. Think they will have to do it eventually, I mean there is only so much you can do with stripes.

Re: Signings #8 and #9: Jamaal Lascelles and Karl Darlow

We are always slow to announce things. The Janmaat transfer was completed about a week before we announced it. Stuart Pearce announced this one a day or 2 ago. Martin Trinder announced the Cabella deal a good 5 hours or so before the club. Yeah there is a difference between 5 hours and 2 days thoug...

Re: Huddersfield Town 2 - 2 Newcastle Utd - 05/08/14

Virgil van Dijk for £8m rumours circulating. After the shoddy defending we've heard about so far it sounds like we need him!

Lascelles and VVD for the future? Think MYM is a lost cause under Pardew?

This. When i seen "Signings #8 and #9" i was expecting to walk into a nufc.co.uk article, not a chronicle story. In all honesty it's obviously a done deal i dont know why they wont announce it? Must be sorting out the loan deal back to NFFC.

Re: The Lascelles / Darlow Thread

Was hoping for an 11pm announcement :( Hopefully they'll announce it tomorrow, doesn't feel real until there's a pic in the stadium and a Sport Direct sign forcefully advertised in the background.

Re: The Lascelles / Darlow Thread

Howling at the photos one of the NFFC clubs chose for an article to say they'd be selling Lascelles and Darlow. You can tell they've been searching for ages to get the worst pics possible. Definitely smiley material.
