Wonder if he's said to Newcastle that if you value me at £150m, then pay me as such and they've left him on read. Saudi, Liverpool or PSG surely the only options, unless he ends up Osimhening himself. Can never rule us out from random bullshit though...

Strange from him to wait until after most of the big domino moves have fallen. With hindsight he's probably regretting not doing this a month ago but perhaps he was waiting to see if the recruitment efforts of Eddie Howe's nephew would impress him and it has not.

the fear of him doing the Cole Palmer celebration is rising

Not convinced this is the best use of James, but this is definitely the best use of Gusto. Run Malo, run.

No, and Fofana too. Played more than enough FM in my time to know the homegrown rules (side note - swapping one English non-homegrown player for another this summer with Noni and Gittens), but this squad value stuff is new to me. There's not a huge amount of profit opportunity on that A List.

On the other hand, the João Pedro news is not quite as nice to wake up to.

Agree with this - feels like they've sanded down the edges to her character & it's affecting the overall story. (Trying to be vague so no spoilers for ppl) I can see why they want the audience invested in her relationship with Dina. I've also only just realised there's only 2 episodes left - wtf?

You see this? No. I see this.

they've made a big deal about not allowing players to get into the last two years of their contract a few times now as well

I can only really remember Colwill going out of his way to praise Maresca from the current squad in the last few months.
