Given he barely seems to play is he purely after some sort of record for most consecutive seasons played in at this point?

Does he not already hold that? He's been going for over 30 years, the nutter.
If they’re counting fourth tire in he’ll be miles off. I remember someone in here playing for some lower league club much longer.
Edit: He is I think the oldest professional player. While looking for the Finnish player I remembered reading about I stumbled upon an Egyptian who played two games at the ripe age of 75 in the Egyptian third division 😄 the article didn’t say if he had been playing all the way upto that mind.

Chris Wood to Newcastle. That’s a signing I’d expect them to make without the oil men. Grim
Let's be honest, we can't attract good players in our current position. Hell, we couldn't attract a top manager. This is the grind we're in.
You could get a few quality but expensive loans in, Shirley?
Could the problem not be that the owners haven't had time to get their FFP loopholes in place yet?
He'd be a safer bet than that random French giraffe they're linked to. Geezer performs.
It's an incredible signing because it probably guarantees Burnley's relegation.
Steven Gerrard keeps hijacking them. As for financial fair play, they've had a fucking year to sort that. I do think it's more a case of 'what's our minimum spend on avoiding the drop?'. Trippier's a good get but he was also winding his contract down. It's not that far removed from the Mike Ashley playbook.
Yeah, my first thought was not that it adds anything to Newcastle but that it takes away from one of their rivals. I also thought that when they were/are linked with Cantwell.
Also the rumblings from every agent appears to be that they're a complete clown show which slims down your talent pool anyway so best to just fuck over your neighbours instead.
I mean, we got all that from the Emery debacle. Football men, they are not.
Rafa being allowed to shift Everton’s only good player because they don’t get on is mad.
He's been crap since midway through last season, tbf.
Poor Matt Targett. We should get him to cover for the murderer.
My player from the last 5 years that your dad has heard of randomiser is spitting out Thorgan Hazard, Daryl Janmaat and Kostas Mitroglou as Everton's transfer targets for this window.
If your dad has heard of those he's a bit hardcore. Mine has only reliably heard of Harry Kane and Ron 'Chopper' Harris.
Yeah no chance my dad has heard of any of those unless they've been linked to United in the BBC Gossip column at some point.
Arthur - of creative Juve/Barca creative accounting fame - looks to be going to Arsenal on loan.
Why do these people not learn? Immobile midget white boys won't cut it as CMs in this league (Jorginho is protected by a world class manager and partner).
I was wondering who Arthur Melo was. I figured Felipe had got so many red cards he’s banned for the next 4 years and figured it was his brother.
6 open play goals from the first 10 AFCON games.
El Ghazi to Everton. They really are trying to relegate themselves. Other than Gray, their wide options being a choice of Townsend, Iwobi and El Ghazi is some banter
El Ghazi was good last season, was he not? What's happened to him?
Digne out, El Ghazi in. No wonder his chairman only gave him a lamp. What an absolute joke of a manager. Fluked into being around when people hadn't worked out how to play through a stodgy 4-5-1. Steve Bruce would do a better job. Again.
Don't sleep on what he's done with Gray, Gordon and Holgate. Rafa remains king.
Holegate
He’s a fucking bombscare
Yeah, Godfrey is just as bad if not worse. No idea how he’s not been sent off multiple times with the way he plays
He's a beast and so is Rafa to not get dragged into a relegation fight with the shit at his disposal (the forced absences have been horrendous).
I see Wood has gone to Newcastle. Who else can they target to sink? Watford presumably. I suppose Leeds or Everton could get dragged in but they'll probably scrape enough points to stay out of it.
Elsewhere I see [The] Villa are linked with Bissouma. Gerrard/Rangers took a few players from Brighton whilst he was there. If they get Bissouma they could actually become quite a decent side. Brighton asking United for £40m for Tariq 'what hamstrings?' Lamptey is trolling of the highest order.
Yeah I suspect it's a 3 from 4 situation from here. Everton and Leeds will surely knock off the teams below them enough to stay ahead.
I'd maybe have said go for Raphinha if you did want to disrupt Leeds, but he's surely off to a big boy team come the summer. But from Watford you surely want Sarr?
Yeah, Sarr would be the obvious, but hasn't he got a botched knee?
Would be quite funny if Burnley went out and spent their Wood money on some crackerjack import who keeps them up.
Dugarry's not even 50 yet. Get him in.
Brentford will get pulled into the relegation battle. I think they've probably got just enough points to scrape 17th but they are bad. Worst team I've seen at St Mary's for a long time.
They're in the Leeds camp in that when they play well, they'll win, even if they're terrible at other times.
8th on xPTS. Real drop-off since having to resort to the Spanish midget in goal but once Raya is back, they'll coast it.
Jermain Defoe's available, apparently. Sunderland seem keen.
Bloody big deal
Burnley lining up Andy Carroll to replace Wood. Enjoy the Championship lads.
Not content with looking to loan out Pablo Mari and boil some piss, Arsenal have released Kolasinac on a free
We should get in touch. Just in case Diego Carlos bottles out. Brazilian defenders, man. I don't quite trust them.
Saudi team Al Nassr offering Arsenal a loan for Aubameyang with compuslory £8m purchase.
They should take it just to get the useless pricks wage off the books.
