⚫️⚪️ Some honest thoughts on #NUFC's summer... The last three months have been draining, chaotic and have ultimately ended in disappointing fashion, leaving fans frustrated, Eales/Mitchell under pressure and a feeling that Howe hasn't been backed, even if PSR/FFP limited some our spending once again. The Ashworth saga dragged on, the end of June was a total mess - forcing us to sell two of your best young talents before the 'PSR deadline' - Staveley's exit felt sad and destabilising and Mitchell's appointment was pretty late in the window considering it meant a totally new dynamic for Howe and a potential reset of transfer plans. Not signing Tosin Adarabioyo felt like an early blow that scrambled our plans - I imagine a top right-winger would have signed had we secured our RCB on the cheap - yet we had plenty of time to change our plans and ultimately failed to sign two of our top priorities (CB and RW) in the three months that followed. I understand the need to avoid panic buys, to sign the "right players" and avoid wasting money on deals that don't make sense or could backfire in time, but we've known all year that we needed a RCB and RW. It also feels like we allowed ourselves to get into this desperate deadline day position by spending too long on Guehi; who was never worth £70m despite ticking so many boxes. On top of that, we appear to have been poor sellers again. I have some sympathy, as it's not easy moving on deadwood who are on big money, often injured and/or have gone stale (Hayden, Targett, Fraser, Lewis), but this summer felt like the right time to sell the likes of Wilson, Almiron and perhaps even Trippier based on their age, contract situation and the fact it may have been our last window to get a half decent fee. We don't know the truth behind each case, but I am surprised to see the lack of 'player trading' that Eales talked up a few months ago to help us work within the world of PSR. There's lots of positives to hold onto - we kept our star players, Tonali is back, key players who were injured last season can have a big impact this year (Pope, Barnes, Willock, Joelinton) and Howe didn't leave for England. There's been *some* decent signings. Kelly is a handy squad option who improves our depth at LB/LCB and I am hopeful Osula can develop into a good PL striker under Howe. However, failure to qualify for European football put pressure on a big 2024/25, to not only keep this 'ambitious project' moving forwards but to also make sure we are in a position to keep world class talents like Bruno and Isak this time next year. We can still have a good season, but we've cocked up this summer on too many fronts and have to learn from our mistakes ASAP if we're serious about becoming a club that regular competes for Champions League football alongside the 'big six.' Hoping for a good end to 2024 on the pitch and a much better 2025 off it, where we should have plenty 'headroom' and money to spend after very little investment over the past two transfer windows. HWTL.

@LukeEdwardsTele An absolute Mike Ashley of a transfer window…..I’ve no idea what’s going on but whoever was negotiating the Ghueli deal, needs removing from the club…….. I do not bloody blame Dan Ashworth, think he’s seen what’s coming

When you look at other clubs it makes our transfer window look even more pathetic. Kelly Ruddy Vlachodimos Osula Pivas If you signed those players and were a team fighting to stay in the league then you’d still be disappointed. Then add the losses of: - Anderson - Minteh Two talented youngsters and better than current squad members we have. Even signing Guehi doesn’t make this a good window. We need Guehi and a statement RW to even class this window as ‘alright’. Other clubs have also kept there star players whilst strengthening, so that excuse is out the window. #NUFC

Max Verstappen seriously screwed this race: - First, he gets pushed off the track at the start. - Later, he is hit by a clear case of moving under braking move. Where are the stewards? In Austria, they were awake and immediately penalized Max with a 10s penalty for what was essentially a racing incident, as confirmed by 15 drivers later.
