I’m staying positive. Hammond is a shrewd operator - I remember the signings he helped facilitate for Newcastle post takeover all being shrewd and successful.

"Promoted teams are always tough to play at the start of the season." "Its only 5 games. Lets see where we are at Christmas" "No chance are we getting relegated, bedwetters" "SACK EVERYBODY!" "Told you we would be fine. Push for Europe next...

I guess the first two months of the season will be about fitness and not results, too, getting all the end-of-window signings up to speed when they should have been brought in two months earlier.

Crap players are very getable, we could agree deals for Lindstrom and Harrison this afternoon and have them holding jerseys in BMD on Monday. Truth is if you want a McAtee or that profile, you are at this very moment competing with Leverkusen...

It would help if people had a general concept of how player trades worked. It’s not like a video game where some spreadsheet of available players is published. And our new staff seems good at keeping info in-house. What we see currently is 85%...

Yeah, I was too stressed out to watch that game !

Not seen Travers play before but I welcome competition for Pickford. Was it under Carlo that he had a spell out with Olsen replacing him ? That seems to have really helped Pickford as he’s been much improved since. Hoping we can get similar...

I remember an interview a few years ago with super agent Jonathan Barnett who truly was a chase the money guy at heart. Even he talked about how often player perspectives change as they grow older and more settled. When they are younger in the...

Can't believe that anyone thinks John McGinn doesn't improve our squad. If he joined us, he walks into the team, gives us 3 years of tough tackling, great passing. Gets round the pitch well. Was the star player in game against PSG just a few...

Spending the Harrison money already.

Wouldn’t surprise me if we took a punt on Maitland-Niles…

Remember, buying a player for PSR, the amortization is spread across their contract e.g £20mil on a 4 year deal is £5mil a year. If Roma paid us £5mil then that £5mil hits our books instantly as a 'loan/sale' + his wages are added on to the fee...

I imagine Tete not joining meant we decided to use the money earmarked for 4th choice CB to get a RB and instead go back to Keane ?

Douglas Luiz as with Gallagher no brainer of a signing elevates this team, it can't be debated. Can we afford him? In theory of course! Will we buy him? no a) He'll want CL b) we need a lot of players in this window and any purchases at the...

I would rather have a punt at Antony. They want 30 million so let's offer 20. He was sensational in Real Betis and they would love to sign him but can't afford. Goal-scoring right winger, isn't that pretty much exactly what we need? He would...
