He looked more of a link up player but then powered one in with his head (like everyone said he wouldn't). Defenders look terrified when he runs at them without possession. A few nice lay offs to release players.
He looks good so far 😁

I think comfort is the main thing. If we can bring Wissa in and he can hit the ground running, the whole situation relaxes a bit in our favour.

Firm Black and White. I knew what you meant - but the fantasy of having won the FA Cup recently was just too attractive not to embrace for a second 😁

Probably juggling social media with trying to scrape the 'Isak 9' off his new Liverpool (or Leeds) shirt.
I sympathise....

Leave it, Fred. This guy does his research. You won't be able to win this argument. He knows all the facts and nuances of English football.

Oh dear. We are angry tonight aren't we?
Sorry, us "deluded" fans should probably accept the views of the guy on a different continent that collects football teams like Pokémon cards.
I'm sure you're right. Maybe time for a warm drink and some deep breaths, though?

If he signs for Leeds will you be equally as happy?

Probably need a CEO and a DoF then.
Which was the original point.
That's the failing.

If we're just gonna shop in the market of prestige players that have their heart set on playing for NUFC then it's gonna be a small list....

We had Staveley/Ghodoussi - which is a loss we are just beginning to feel, it seems.
Also, they weren't established/sought after players from what I remember. Maybe the fact that we've done so well identifying talent has led to other teams trusting our judgement and going in to gazump us....

Maybe so. It's not like they don't realise though. We're trying and failing to buy players. The hierarchy needs to exist for things to change. Right now it feels like there's Eddie and some data whizzkid that been in the job 2 weeks. Must be sh*tting himself....

That's what we all want but you only progress from this point by trying to buy players that are the level of the teams above you (or have that potential). So that's who we're up against and it's been humbling for us.
I've hated this summer - but I still love NUFC. Our fanbase needs to show that

There's been many summers where we didn't. We're now just shopping in a market that is hard for us because we have ambition. We're not losing out to anyone below us (Manyoo aside). We're losing out to title contenders and other CL established clubs.

This all got said last season, though?
Eddie's gonna take the England job/Only brought in Kelly/Paper-thin squad/Paul Mitchell's rubbing everyone up the wrong way.
Yet we won a cup and got in the CL.
It's the magic of being a Toon fan. Always drama.

Also, we've this far only sold/let go players that we were going to move on anyway. Wilson, Longstaff, Dubs, Hayden were all gonna go.
Nobody wanted to sell Isak and they still don't. If he wants to go then we become reactive but previous administrations would have sold him by now without replacing

The absence of actual football makes all of this happen in a vacuum where everyone forgets their pride in the team and the willingness to get behind the club rather than shake your fists in front of it.
We've been fucked over this summer but we are actually bidding for players and that is progress.

I don't think Ray gets talked about enough but he obviously paved the way for a lot of what is also in this list from an R&B/Soul perspective.

However; This was a fantastic way for me to hear how important an artist Ray Charles was to Soul and Pop music as we know it. You can draw a chronological line through this from Blues, to Rhythm & Blues to Soul and it's kinda fascinating.

I'll also mention the Ray Charles compilation. There's a lot of differing views on compilations being part of this list and I'm on the negative side myself...
