You're welcome sweetheart. Dunno why I typed 9. Maybe I subconsciously thought 9".

I wish; )

In the video earlier in the thread, Ilkay is asked if he knows where the Mr Whippy nickname comes from.

Wasn’t it the alternative commentary the source of that?

Yes and I posted earlier that I hope the alternative commentary man returns too.
Used to enjoy his comments on Mr Whippy and the pale Pele

Skinfade Gascoigne, Algerian Robben, etc.

That shows his walking to the east. Can't be coming to us in that case.

Not sure that's the case with Guimaraes - we didn't value him at his release clause and didn't attempt to make a bid in June when Newcastle were in need of meeting PSR requirements. It's more about matching valuations than them not wanting to sell (at the time).

I'm not pulling my face - like I said, it's disappointing that we haven't moved to secure the future and instead are signing a 33 year old player back who we didn't want to offer a 2 year deal to. Without any disrespect to Gundo, he'd still do a great job and matches our current desire to not spend big on the role.

Yes fully understand the position you are coming from and understand it’s not a slight on Gundogan in any way.

I’m sure the club probably expected to fill the position much easier but as you have highlighted with Guimaraes, it probably indicates that the club does not see value in the market for players In this position.

Gundogan coming in gives us a bit of breathing space to find the next player to fill the role and is ready made to step in, which obviously Phillips and Nunes have struggled to deliver. Additionally the money remains in the kitty to strengthen if required in January based on possible injuries etc.

I hope it’s not the other end of the east lancs road. Good job Herr Flopp isn’t still there cos those scouse cunts need someone like Ilkay

Looks like he's limping. How fucking injured is he?
