Hard to believe some of the negativity around our transfer window. This is, without doubt, the best window we’ve had since the Carlo era — and arguably even smarter in terms of planning for the future. It feels like the start of a proper rebuild, built on potential and purpose. Let’s not...

Would love a quality defensive midfielder but we absolutely must get a right back in. Not because Jake can’t do a job out there but we need him as CB cover otherwise we need another centre back (which I think might actually happen tbh)

We were after Juanlu from there weren’t we? Could be the deal. Also Juanlu plays anywhere on the right so could be used as a right winger too

On my jollies at last. The post seems very apt as I remember the old lady with a glass of red and look towards a bright blue future 💙 UTFT

The question I have is: is he someone who’s just (surprisingly) become available and Moyes has sent the dogs in cos it’s too good an opportunity to miss? Or is this a sign that our number-one targets have sailed, and this guy’s a known quantity who’ll do a job for him?

£10m for Grealish’s wages… bargain! It’s effectively the same as paying £30m for a three-year contract — and that’s before even adding wages on top. Hopefully a masterstroke: he gets a chance to have a proper look at us, we get a close look at him — and then he’s into the final year of his...

And on more than one occasion, a poor pre-season often is a catalyst for better things…

Do you have a link for that mate as I’m currently sat in minor injuries with my daughter!😆

Pretty sure a release clause is something agreed on with all parties - players, agents and club - so don’t think that can be changed without consent. More likely there isn’t a clause involved, just the selling clubs hope/expectation changing

Got to have one protracted saga haven’t we!? I’ve made my peace with us not having a right winger by the Leeds game (the club clearly going for quality over quantity). If (big if) we secure early points our position strengthens further, start poorly though and it will become more desperate...

Agree about Alcaraz but I think it would be better overall to play McNeil on the left and Ndiaye on the right (until a right winger is found). Ndiaye plays on the right for his country and McNeils only chance of offering something to the team is coming off the left.
