That’s the same for every club in the world. These clubs just seem to sell a lot more even when they don’t need to meet FFP. The point still stands that if we’d sold Branthwaite Pickford Ndiaye then we probably would have made a lot more signings by now but most people wouldn’t have wanted...

Aznou, Barry, Alcaraz were these obvious? Even the likes of Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Ndiaye. Were these very obvious signings at the time?

Clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth have already sold their best players by now. Fans only seem to want the nice half of the model that Brighton Brentford Bournemouth carry out. Want to start the window by selling Pickford Branthwaite Ndiaye? Didn’t think so.

Can you tell me the lottery numbers as well please?

That bench is literally better than some of the ones we had last season with two keepers and youth players sat on it. It’s not where anyone wants it to be but it’s still more than enough to play a game against Leeds. Stop acting like they’re about to unleash Modric Kroos and Bale off their...

Defence is actually the one position where on a paper we have two players per position Pickford/Travers Coleman/Patterson Tarkowski/Keane Branthwaite/O’Brien. Mykolenko/Aznou We can manage an injury but it will be annoying for me if once again Everton start a season with Michael Keane...

That’s a better 11 than Leeds will put out. They need to go and show it. It’s probably a better opportunity for a more joined up performance than trying to bed in 5 players into an 11 that have hardly played together.

This is down to injuries again with Everton, it would be the second season in a row that Branthwaite hasn’t started because he’s injured. I think Tarkowski is back in training now so he should be ready.

What should happen for the Leeds game is we put out a team extremely similar to the one that finished the season so well. A solid back 5 Garner and Gueye in the middle McNeil Alcaraz Ndiaye behind Beto or Barry. Even then we’d still have Barry Aznou Irogebunam Armstrong Chermiti Keane...

The other factor in this is Moyes. Do people really think if he was in there slamming tables demanding Harrison Coufal etc. were signed that they wouldn’t be signed already? Moyes doesn’t want them either. He knows he’s on a hiding to nothing here where he has to deliver or he’ll probably get...

There’s been a few that are head scratchers. I can understand the complications with Luiz and Fofana for sure, but how we haven’t paid the price for Hackney and AMN yet I don’t know. Would leave us with the rest of the window to focus efforts on the right wing position.

the same people now saying we should have gone for easier targets are the same people who would have been kicking up a stink if we’d started the window with Coufal Soucek Longstaff Brownhill Callum Wilson etc.

I’d hope Barry is better than Beto otherwise why are we spending 30 million on him? He might not start the first game but I’d expect once he’s up and running that Moyes will be expecting him to be our first choice striker.

The equivalent of a Kanchelskis type signing now would be virtually impossible for us. Lukaku joining us was probably the closest since and that was when we were European regulars. There’s just no universe now where one of the best wingers in the league with good goal and assist numbers playing...

Would see El Khannouss as a similar player to Ndiaye. Had some good moments at Leicester but needs to be more clinical. If we can’t tempt Grealish or Mcatee perhaps he becomes and option.

Another one done. On to the next.

The transfer so far have been Barry - Villarreal Aznou - Bayern Alcaraz - Flamengo Travers - Bournemouth We’ve also had strong links to conceicao, Kubo, Fofana, Luiz and AMN all playing abroad. There’s also been links to Grealish and Mcatee in the prem. I’d say it was a pretty...

Probably get a reply saying ‘yeah sure but can you make them of Stevie G and Jurgen?’

I was thinking about that team that won it under Klopp, remember when a team of kids no one had heard of absolutely ran all over Chelsea’s A team? Where are they now? Nowhere. Funny that.

It’s ok they’ve not needed to spend any money because all those kids who were world class in the league cup final are now all in the team and they’ve done it the organic proper way, not just throwing 100s of millions at proven stars like the oil clubs do. Meanwhile in reality…..
