We parked the bus that day.. It was unbelievable.

Mats Hummels retiring at the end of the season.

Don't think that's clear yet. Young and English with some experience , so likely around what we paid for the likes of Gordon and Tino. So around £40 million if I had to hazard a guess. Anything more than that would be a joke.

What sort of price bracket?

Yeah, just hope we can finish strong and see them off. That Pep style of football really needs a very high calibre of top technical and cerebral players to really flourish. As it requires players that can creat chances in very tight spaces, as the build up is so slow and looks to pin teams back in a low block. Funnily enough, I don't think Man City have done a great job of getting players good enough to replace the likes of David Silva, DeBruyne, Gundogan, Mahrez and Bernardo as they have left or got older. Could see them continue to struggle if they don't figure that out too.

Owen never got 20 in a league season in his whole career and ended up winning the balon d’or.

There were a few shouts of "shooooot", first-half when he had the ball around 30-40 yards out in no way of being in a position to do so. That goal will probably turn it up to Venison & Tiote levels.

Yeah not really sold on Maresca at all, mental they're challenging us for CL when IMO they haven't been great

Hayden and Lewis are only still on the books as they can’t be got rid of, despite all efforts

To be fair ... Chelsea play don't play with the same urgency we do. They hired one of Peps disciples, from the control freaks school of football, and so they recycle side to side to side to side to side ... over and over again. It's even affected Palmer's production and impact on games.

Our average position in the Ashley era while he held us back, was still higher than Sunderland's while Ellis Short spent more than they could really afford, just to squabble for 15-17th every year.

Remember Frank Clark? Local lad, played loads for us, but regularly criticised.......binned off to Notts Forest. Imagine if like him, Sean joined Wood, Anderson and Sels at Forest, (who will almost certainly qualify for the Champions League)......and gets a winner's medal!

We had an owner who wouldn't put a penny of his own money in. They had an owner who was basically pumping his fortune in to keep them as a going concern. Short went there a Billionaire and walked away as a millionaire.

He’ll very likely finish second on here. Who’d have thought that a few years ago?

I do like the chemistry between Lineker and Shearer

So the rest of the league goalies won't expect it to happen again 😄

For approx £10 million it's worth the risk imo

Has been out with an horrific injury, at his age it could easily alter the trajectory of his career which obviously hopefully it hasn’t.

Eddie says that he's seen him practicing from that angle and Eddie says he's always worried incase he breaks our goalkeepers wrists he has so much power. I think that Sandro is just playing it down so that he doesn't sound flash

The entitlement from the red cartel is unbelievable. It wasn't so long ago that they suggested they brought in the most revenue out of the 20 teams, so should be entitled to more money. Dog ends.

Yeah. Wants more of an opportunity to establish himself as a first team player, which he doesn't think he'll get at Liverpool. Coming from some scout that has been familiar with him from his youth football days. “I picked Quansah out when he was in the youth team and I always thought he had the makings of becoming a top player. “He’s got to a certain level in his career, but now I think he needs to push on again. “To do that, he’s got to be playing football at the top level. “With the options they’ve got at Liverpool at the moment, it doesn’t look like he’ll be a regular any time soon, especially while they’re looking to sign new players there. “So if he’s got the opportunity to go and play for Newcastle, I hear he wants to do that. “He knows what’s best for his career, and at this stage is being able to play every week. “It would be a tremendous move for him and for Newcastle, they’d be picking up a very promising young player if they could get it over the line.“ https://www.footballinsider247.com/jarell-quansah-wants-to-join-newcastle-united/
