Did anyone ever say it wasn’t good business? We had to sell. The Raya sale was bad business, Armstrong’s sale was inevitable.

How anyone can say that Magloire should play for this club again is beyond me.

Hasn’t Johnson played centre half for us before?

And two out of the two wingbacks aren’t wingbacks, genius.

That last night was the one of the worst displays of managerial ineptitude I’ve witnessed. What on earth was the formation and why did he seemingly throw away a draw when it was clear at 2-2 that we were incredibly lucky to still be in the game? He was going to make a double/triple substitution and for some reason beyond me only made one, and that one was Rothwell (one of two in midfield) for Poveda?!? They had two really good chances to score before he had chance to make the remaining substitutions and he didn’t think to shore it up, he thought that the time called for two lightweight loanees with virtually no first team experience. Absolutely moronic.

These comments were found in about 2 minutes and there were plenty more. All go way beyond saying ‘he has talent but might not be able to cope with the physicality of men’s football’.

I saw Buckley play against Rochdale a couple of years back in preseason and said that he’s the most talented player at the club at the time, sometimes it’s obvious.

A la Jason Lowe 🤣

Well I’m not claiming to be itk but I think what we’re doing is pretty obvious.

That’s it. The way he’s gone about praising Phillips is a complete anomaly. If he signs a pro contract elsewhere I believe it will go to a tribunal, where we’ll be able to say ‘look how highly we rated him’, pointing at Mowbray’s comments etc.

It’s clear to me that the club is bigging Phillips up in order to maximise the compensation we’ll receive when he signs a pro contract elsewhere.

What does that remind you of?

Calling bullshit on that

Done it before…?

What makes you think the worst header of the ball at the club will score goals if we put crosses into him?

Rich Sharpe saying we’re working on a deal for Jan Paul van Hecke, centre half from Brighton

Not saying they weren’t, I just took issue with a demonstrably untrue comment.

All of them? Ronaldo, Benzema, Kane, Pogba, De Bruyne, Lewandowski, Salah….

Where on earth are you watching two hour long videos of kids playing for City’s academy sides?

Near the top of what? He’s a dreadful footballer.

I presume if it was Armstrong for £15m + Obafemi we’d have to give Newcastle 40% of the market value of Obafemi. If we said Armstrong for £15m as a deal and Obafemi for £1 (as an example) as another deal, the Obafemi deal would be distinct from the Armstrong deal and his valuation wouldn’t come into it as far as Newcastle are concerned.

The Obafemi deal will be ‘separate’ to the Armstrong deal because of the 40% to Newcastle. We’ll get him on the cheap.

Armstrong is 100% Premier League quality, hence why Premier League clubs with Premier League scouting networks are willing to spend tens of millions of pounds on him. People said that he wouldn’t be Championship quality when we made his loan move permanent, they were wrong. His CV is incredible for a 24 year old, if he’s a Championship player who’s not Premier League quality then no Championship player is Premier League quality. Good luck to him, I really hope he does well.

The irony of this thread is that we’re now in the exact same position as we were before Kean Out Day, what have we done to deserve this last 10+ years?

I will not be renewing my season ticket next season if Mowbray is still in charge, just like I didn’t when Kean was in charge. I don’t think I’ll be the only one.
