Had a very long chat tonight, first one since we had the news.
Less pressing matters, we want a swayp with Eze for Harvey. Did mention it weeks back. Parish has been hard work and wants pure cash.
Guehi still on but again it's Pariah being a toss pot, he's edging a meat auction in a vegan restaurant.
Ekitike is NUFC's main target, if you're a Isak fan that's marvellous news for LFC. Sadly I think we get someone else now (my opinion)
Hope everyone is okay, you're all in my thoughts

Thanks Carra.
10 Jul 2025 06:56:27
We don't buy injury prone players, do we?
10 Jul 2025 06:58:52
Thanks Carra - hope you’re ok mate.
Begs the question who do we go after if it’s not Isak? . There’s not exactly a bumper field to choose from.
10 Jul 2025 07:01:41
Who do you think we will get instead of Isak then Carra?
Thanks.

PSG no9 Ramos was mentioned, I know nothing about him other than nice taken goal last night.
10 Jul 2025 07:43:37
Thanks for the update Carra, hope you're keeping well.
I'm only assuming here but why would Newcastle be looking at Ekitike for the sort of price touted if their intention is to keep Isak as well? Surely not to put him on the bench and rotate?
If they're expecting Isak to leave then surely we have to be front runners? Maybe they'll only go for Ekitike if Isak is sold?
Hmm. be interesting to hear who you think we'll go for now if not him?

Lots of Isak staying at Newcastle and us making big strides towards Ekitike this morning. Lots of moves still to be done in the striker merry-go-round. I thought that there would be more clarity by now but it feels a bit like all the clubs either wanting to buy or wanting (or at least open) to sell stikers are playing a game of chicken.
10 Jul 2025 09:13:05
Hilarious that Parish is a tosspot for wanting cash or the best deal possible for his players. But we ain’t tosspots are we for wanting the best deal possible for our players?
10 Jul 2025 09:14:43
I don't really understand the link with Eze, isn't he pretty much a number 10 who also drifts out wide to the left sometimes and loves to carry the ball from deep ala Wirtz? He could, like Wirtz, technically play left wing, but that is far from his best position, he is decently strong and physical so that's a plus but he also plays in a team that thrives in transition and has Mateta peeling off into space for him to find, and won't have anywhere near as much space to operate in if he's playing against a team that sits in a low block.

Kloppers,
Parish is a toss pot for his handling with clubs.
If you’ve ever had the unfortunate displeasure of ever doing business with him, you’d get it. Makes Aulas look like a reasonable human being.
I have no idea who we will go for. Ekitike is very much liked but we won’t pay over the odds.
If we get any encouragement on Isak we will pounce however there have been moving parts I. e Newcastle missing out on all their centre forward targets.
Also apologies for the typos I’m on my phone as I’m away getting married this weekend. Wish me luck.
Ta.

Congrats Carra. Have a superb weekend. And thanks for the updates - you’re one of the few ITK.
10 Jul 2025 11:11:08
After signing Wirtz, Eze would be a strange option indeed. Good player but not sure he's what we need unless we're expecting something to happen with Macca or Dom.
10 Jul 2025 11:14:14
Best of luck Carra. I got married two months ago, we're together a decade and I thought nothing would actually change but it does and it's great!
10 Jul 2025 11:37:26
All the best Carra. Take in all the peace and quiet while you can mate!
10 Jul 2025 12:04:40
Thanks Carra.
Good luck for the weekend fella. Let's hope the weather is good and the alcohol is flowing! (and Newcastle get Ekitike and we pounce! )
I hope you find the time to update us again soon (maybe from your honeymoon suite) :-)
All the best.
10 Jul 2025 12:08:29
Congratulations, Carra!
10 Jul 2025 12:30:44
Congrats Carra ?.

@Carra
Congratulations to you and your wife, I hope your day goes really well (you've picked good weather for it :) )
10 Jul 2025 12:36:35
I got married last December. My meaningful advice would be Happy Wife Happy Life. Rock it out Carra and enjoy every second!
{Ed025's Note - my advice would be...never tell the truth, if you are going to golf.. say you are going to see a job thats a good earner but its a long way away, of course you never get the job but she,s made up you tried, if you are going for a bevy its a meeting, if you lose on the horses you have either been pickpocketed or gave it to an old woman who could not afford groceries, you have to be savvy in this world and it stops a lot of grief...argument avoidance if you like.. :)
10 Jul 2025 13:19:58
Congratulations carra, enjoy your day both of you.
10 Jul 2025 15:06:48
Congrats Carra lad, best of luck to you and the lucky lady.
So that's where i have been going wrong Ed25. I will take your advice on board. To date i have been getting my permission slip signed before heading out on the weekends (or booking annual leave which is not declared in the household for a weekday round) .
{Ed025's Note - i tried all that truth lark RedQ...it never works mate.. :)
10 Jul 2025 15:57:18
Wish I’d seen this advise 35 years ago. My wife hated me playing golf. Best all day sport ever ?.
10 Jul 2025 16:21:24
Congratulations and Best of Luck, Carra. I remember the day I got married like it was yesterday. If it was tomorrow, I wouldn’t go. ?.
10 Jul 2025 16:38:07

So will she be taking your surname. If so what will her name be?
