Grim stuff. Absolutely terrible but coming all pre season.

All on Moyes this. Hope I’m wrong but feels like part of this team selection was trying to make a point about a lack of signings. Why Garner on the left and not McNeil? The whole set up was embarrassing. The entire game plan was about trying to...

We are a team that has been scared of the ball for years, I just want someone to take control and not be afraid, demand the ball

Hardly the bold new era we were being promised. Zero attacking threat, a right footed central midfielder at left back, a centre back (still) at right back, Keane playing. How was Moyes anticipating us creating chances, let alone score, with this...

I'd be tempted to stick Ndiaye out there, purely based on that game he played against England when he caused all sorts of problems. I think Moyes will stick Alcaraz out there because he generally has a safety first approach and will be nervous...

Imagine the noise when we eventually score a goal. What are our September fixtures looking like? We might build up to it by then with a couple of shots on target due in late August.

As they should. He is young and will make mistakes. Can actually see Moyes giving him the Coleman treatment and starting him on the wing a little to get him acclimated to the speed of play.

A good pre-season wrapped up today, with a total of 1 victory against the all-conquering Port Vale. We’re surely nailed on to make a better start to the season and not be in and around the bottom 3 from August to Christmas for the fifth year...

Offer them 37m plus 3 in add ons and say it’s our final offer. Then actually walk away.

Agree with this. Aznou at £9m has time on his side. We have a left back who is competent but not spectacular, we have paid a relatively small transfer fee for him and can afford for it to turn out that he can’t cut it in the premier league. For...

How long would it be until he is "ready"? People would soon forget his age and inexperience. For the type of fee mooted, he'd have to be in the team very, very soon and impacting games. His value won't be increasing on the bench. Massive...

The problem is, our track record in these types of deals is patchy at best. Most of the players we’ve signed for £25m or more have been huge wastes of money and end up leaving for nothing or sold at a huge loss. We aren’t Chelsea- we can’t afford...

Other options - I.e. the likes of McAtee, Doak, Kubo, Fofana and even Fellows as a back-up - remain available and we should look to pursue those options. Southampton can charge as high a fee as they wish, it's up to us whether we want to pay...

Yeah sack it off at that. There’ll be a fair amount of options at that level. If they keep moving the goal post then let spurs panic into it and we’ll just take grealish on loan.

Is this one still bubbling around ? Better option at RB than Patterson and Seamus ? Might allow us to exit Patterson gives a MF option and allows JO’B to move inside if Tarks gets injured or naturally gets edged out
