Hope Jake is fine for Newcastle. May have an injury. Check out the start & end of this short vid. He’s in the background.

The high press in the second half was pleasing. KDH ran his backside off.

Would imagine one or two of these Chinese car companies like BYD or Jaecoo will end up on a Premier League shirt as they look to increase thier profiles in the European car markets. Not sure it will be us due to our Toyota links but you never know.

I still don't get why Gana is allowed to shoot so much. It's easily his worst trait.

I think they've done well so far & I'm happy bar the lack of a RB. Just looking at what's potentially ahead for us which is allowed. Nobody has the numbers on here. Recent history has left a scar & i whilst I am enjoying the window I'm not going to belly flop balls deep into this like some others.

I never said they were. It was your take on the matter I labelled the Moshiri & Kenwright way. Not caring & we'll deal with it later. Been there already & it nearly sunk us. It's far too early to judge how the Friedkins operate. I'm happy, just aware. After all the troubles we have gone through...

All I said was we have potentially committed to a large spend already next season. That's it. That's not down beat or kill joy but a realistic reality. It's not preemptive anything. It's happened & it needs remembering. Preemptive pessimism would have been to say it before we brought in...

Ah the Moshiri & Kenwright approach to football finance.

Putting faith in 'maybes' & 'hopes' is fine but after the last few years I am looking at things with a more realistic or face value eye but optimistic at the same time.

Yeah I worded that poorly. I mean if we want to keep him then that number is something we have to take seriously.

When the option expires the whole world gets to have a go too. All I'm saying is that we have to consider the reality that we could have just committed to a 72 million spending next season already. I of course hope that we can get Grealish cheaper though.

I would like to hope the same as you but for now it has to be taken at face value as what we potentially have committed too already.

Next season we have already potentially got a £72m bill to pay with Merlin & Jack. Lots on here saying it won't end up being 50 for Jack but if he has the season we all hope he has then it probably will be 50m. Why would City take less? I'm sure the 72 is spread about over several windows but...

Great start to his season, especially when you consider what positions he's been moved around into. I think he really likes playing with Grealish too.

Loan or purchase?
