I imagine that one is on ice until there's movement with Bednarek

.

I think it's because Gerrard runs the show in terms of transfers - even if he'll be out the door very soon

Here we fucking go! Gonna be an interesting few days

They've signed all these players yet only started about five of them yesterday - absolutely crazy. Cooper has enough on his plate trying to keep them up, now he's got to keep nearly 20 new players (no doubt with heavily weighted appearance fees) happy. They're going to feel it if they go down, that's for sure.

Now that would be some signing. Not a striker, however, which begs an interesting question about whether we'll be getting one as well. Better numbers than Antony last season, who is about to join Man United for 80-odd million. Funny old game.

How many points does that get us?

Prowsey has had a stinker

What the actual fuck are those subs

Any money it'll be 5 mins added

Where the fuck are the subs

They're all shite imo and ours would be even worse. Semmens and Ralph blowing their own trumpets for 10 hours of tele hardly sounds appealing to me. Sunderland's one was the best because it was honest about what a complete fucking mess they were at the time. Was almost like an Office spin-off at points.

What a star. As many have said, his attitude and commitment is really refreshing - he gives everything for the cause. He's by no means a left-back, but his positioning and even some of his defensive attributes are improving and yesterday just showed how it has all come together for him. Going forward he's a real livewire and was perhaps the key to us taking those 10 steps up the pitch both yesterday and against Leeds. Bravo Moussa.

Start Mara please!

Like that

We all know he won't change it until we go behind

AA weak as piss

Seems like it is us vs Wolves then. Newcastle prioritising Joao Pedro.

Gomez signed a new five-year deal months ago, think it would take too big a fee to get him now.

Only ones worth a wank from what's possibly available to us is Holding and Lindelof - maybe Soyuncu if Fofana doesn't go for whatever reason.

I mean as long as you're winning the PL and CL and playing about 20 apps / season I imagine you're fairly happy. It's when you're frozen out completely like CHO and Ziyech seem to be at the moment that you'd probably start to look elsewhere.

Jack Stephens is signing for Watford. Not sure if it's a loan or perm.

Don't know what they're seeing in him. £40m is absolutely mental money when they've got Ziyech and Pulisic rotting away, both definitely better players.

Ralph just doesn't seem like an effective motivator or man-manager, and that's something these precocious kids - a lot of whom have been mollycoddled at some of the biggest clubs in the land - will need in order to flourish. Now I was never part of the group clamouring to get Eddie Howe in, but look at what he's done with Newcastle. He's made a few signings, yes, but that group under a miserable, stubborn git in Steve Bruce look light years away from what they are now. Howe's good at tough talk, and he's also good at backing it up.
