Imagine the fallout if we were nowhere near selling out after they requested more tickets!

Aye it would be a bit embarrassing.If this happened then you can imagine the club hierarchy would be able to use that as justification for taking smaller allocations going forward.....

Claretnick

Maybe if all those having a go on here about the allocation actually emailed the club then something might change. There's sod all moaning on this forum is going to do but a flood of emails might persuade the decision maker to pick up the phone to Tottenham and ask for the additional amount, if avai...

Injecting truth = derailing.

There are a few threads about the Portuguese training camp dotted about the forum. Why couldn't you express your opinions about the training camp on one of those threads instead of derailing and spoiling the Summer transfer window thread?

Claretnick

Not sure on his reliability. I have seen him link us to a few that never get mentioned anywhere else or since. Also, you would assume we are combining scouting with Espanyol, so he could be scouting players for either team. The player was on loan at Cagliari last season and he joined them permanent...

Didn't Ramsey have a serious knee injury playing for Norwich on loan. Yeah he had a knee injury in December 2022, had surgery and went back to Villa. Was then loaned to Boro in the January window when he must have passed their medical and resumed playing in February 2023. So are you seriously sugge...

Claretnick

Im not sure about this signing and puzzled as to where he fits in.
Do we think the gaffer has been involved or is this just another recruitment team signing
Time will tell but in the meantime welcome back JBL.

Dean Henderson maybe if traff is off

According to Transfer Market Trafford and Dean Henderson use the same agent CAA Stellar.
Weirdly, Henderson was born in Whitehaven so they both hail from Cumberland...
I'm sure it's all coincidental....

I wondered why a City of Edinburgh bus was going down the hill in Padiham this morning.

Forest signed him for 40m wolves slapped a 20% clause on the deal and he had a 60m clause

Spurs are spending some brass, 60m on Gibbs-White and 55m om Kudus from West Ham and they are looking to sign Wissa from Brentford...these numbers are getting more outrageous each passing season.

Claretnick

Just thinking out loud but could this be a consequence of the incidents after the Sheffield Utd game. Not heard anything about any FA reprimands. Anyway if I still had a seat there I would emailing the club and asking them if the rumours are true and why nothing has been broadcast to those season ti...

Aren't there two Longstaffs at Newcastle?

If so, which is the better one?

You would think Sean who has 214 PL appearances against 20 for his younger brother, Matty, who currently plays for Toronto in the MLS..

The big Ipswich fan site thinks we’re the most likely to sign Cajuste..

https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/49808

We might have an advantage in that Cajuste and our coach, Henrik Jensen, were both at FC Midtjylland together between 2018 and 2022.

I hope the owners aren't the same firm that owns the Adelphi or it'll be just left a vacant shell.

Well they must enjoy wasting money on the scaffolding which I believe is quite expensive.

Claretnick

The comments from his head coach reminded me of a positive scouting report that was posted on here when we signed him.
Anyway good luck to the lad, hope he proves the doubters wrong.

Claretnick

Bloody hell why do we persist in wishing ex players back especially when they made it very clear they wanted to leave the club, so we granted their wish. Muric is history.....

I love a Haffner's pie myself, the morning display in the town centre shop always looks mouth watering. I sneak one into my lunch box for work as my Mrs doesn't like them, says they are too rich

I’d be interested to know which buildings have been given a massive improvement by recent works as mentioned earlier in the thread.

Now, whom should I listen to? ....the cricket pundits, all of whom have played hundreds of games of test match cricket or Claretnick on the utc messages board? Let me think about it.

Haha okay point taken

Claretnick

The pundits keep saying that the players heads were mentally frazzled after being out in the field for so long. Bizarre decision to bowl first. In both tests I might add What a load of rubbish by the pundits. If they can't cope with fielding for a day or two maybe cricket is not the sport for them....

I thought Josh Brownhill would have signed up to be part of our next adventure by now.Also Livramento leaving Newcastle for big fee so we definitely must hold out for top money for Traff I think we need to let go of Josh, he appears to have moved on I am hoping against hope that James remains with ...

There will be some requirement to be registered in Spains equivalent as Jersey is part of the UK.

Just a small point, you may have missed a word. Jersey is not part of the UK and is not represented in the UK Parliament.

Utley Fisheries opened a new chippy on Leeds Road Nelson the other day, the queue outside was huge, thought there was a commotion going on as we approached on the bus. No idea if they are any good or not, seems to be a Keighley firm...

Interestingly Cajuste was a player at Midtylland at the same time our Danish coach was working there. Probably just a coincidence.

Interesting Paul. So not ALK Capital LLP or whatever the top entity is?

Does Velocity Sports Partnership even exist in our structure? If not I assume it’s a separate acquisition?

The last few posts on the original ALK takeover thread mention Velocity Capital Holdings Ltd

Have the loan rules changed from 2 years ago? I thought it was 2 domestic loans but you can get more foreign loans. We had Fofana, Assignon and JBL all on loan 2 years ago. Probably others I’ve forgotten about too…. Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time...

Claretnick

Thanks Josh for all your efforts for the Clarets over the years. You had a super season last time out and if you do decide to move on we will miss your presence greatly.

Newcastle can go another season with Nick Pope.
.....then Trafford is on a free transfer and they save
£40 million. Good business.

Why would he be on a free? His contract with us expires in June 2027

Claretnick

Looks like Newcastle are missing out on Joao Pedro. Brighton have accepted a bid from Chelsea. Hopefully someone else comes in for JT soon and gets them upping their bid. Confident we will have replacements lined up ready to go, as it feels inevitable that JT will leave. I don't think he will leave...

I have seen a few players doing some private training sessions during the close season as they get ready to return for training at their clubs. I wouldn't read anything into it as players are expected to maintain targeted fitness levels during their holidays... I think we'll know more on Monday when...

Claretnick

I would not have Muric back at all, he stunk the place out imo. He never looked to be part of the group even in the Champs season, strange character. If Pope wanted to come back then great but not if he was a reluctant party to the Traffs deal.... My preference would be to keep Trafford with us for ...

What a brilliant test match between 2 excellent teams.

Sorry if I am being really thick, but have Sky announced any fixtures yet? If Spurs are in the Super Cup the preceding g Wednesday that will rule Friday out but this game could be moved for tv to Sunday or Monday?

Claretnick

We've seen him play. He's not an option. If he starts for us on the first game of next season, there's not much point of us playing the remaining 37 games In a similar way that people thought about CJ at the beginning of last season, written off before he could get a run of games. Oh well, fair eno...

Claretnick

Seems like Joe Worrall is being completely forgotten about in this CB debate, he has played for Forest in the PL and you never know he might save us having to shell out for CJ's replacement when other areas in the squad need addressing..

You'd think he'd be a cert for at least a squad place.
