Made it look difficult out there today and you'll hope that sharpness is to come, Thought a few of the boys looked knackered from the off, particularly Garner, McNeil and Alcaraz. N'diaye not sharp today which is expected, Gueye looked miles...

In my lifetime that I actually remember/had an interest in football for.. Best: 1. Lukaku - The loan was one thing, signing him after his performances on loan was another. Couldn't believe a striker of that calibre had joined us permanently...

No issue either way - if he left, fair enough good luck, thank you, I wouldnt miss the player but probably the person around the dressing room would be missed. He's staying - 1 year deal which is fine, club doing deals properly, 4th choice and...

Would be in line with what I was expecting to be honest, hoping more towards the £100m side. I think we'll have one "marquee" signing and then it'll be a hunt for players that we can improve for what is now a middling fee (10-20m). Do think a...

Ah absolutely mate - still get a few that come through for their clubs but nowhere near the 200 games odd you mentioned about Wright etc. Recent examples are the Bellingham brothers both coming through at Birmingham and Gray at Leeds, now it's...

Yeah I just don’t like the poaching of young academy players I guess. Delap was at Derby County for 10 years and then City took him. Doesn’t sit right really.

Power of really big money - for the kids they're getting offered mega contracts, more than the non-european teams can give them. For the club they know if the player doesn't work out they know they can almost recoup their money by selling to...

Signing Lukaku permanently after the season he had on loan - that video of Martinez at a friendly (or scouting mission I forget) giving the thumbs up to the blue asking if Rom was coming home. Ancelotti and subsequently James Rodriguez. Although...

Absolutely atrocious name, I've momentarily lost my head over a stadium name but wow that's so bad! Had no issue with it being a sponsored name, but sureley the Hill Dickinson Bramley Moore Dock Stadium would have been better???

Hope you’re doing alright fella, sorry for the loss of your mate, bloody heartbreaking that. Best wishes to all his family and friends.
