Think we may end up with Outtarra from Bournemouth. He just feels like an Eddie Howe signing; can’t imagine he’d be going for more than 40m too. Would be a fairly shrewd signing for around 35m imo.

Hall is the man for LB anyway, so this has to be the answer.

Dropping back down to 7th-8th is inevitable without a quality squad with depth.

We couldn’t handle it. We were out of the top 4 race by January. Villa were 4 points shy of us going into a period where they played 6 more games than us and they caught up but could only land Europa League. We’ll need to improve the squad immensely to finish 6th. Again we are likely to play 10 CL games. They will be high level games each time out. It’s going to be more fatiguing than the last run.

Bring back Boreyney from Sampdoria, marra.

Feels unfair for him to be playing that level. For his opponents I mean. Shame they have him playing left back though. Would like him to get back familiar playing right back ready for next season.

He got player of the match award.

missing the 2 england first team games has probably done him a massive favour going forward.

Whichever group of people is in charge of our transfers this summer - they will get it right. Our ownership is as single minded about success as I am. They experienced the impact of not planning carefully enough last summer, they will N E V E R want to even come close that again, so they never will. TRUST our club and its great (great) owners !

Mitchell who's basically already left Mitchell? Why would Howe suddenly go rogue? I mean he could suddenly burn the stadium down. Who knows what he's capable of.

Mitchell should be in charge of this at a time we need some bargain buys. Eddie could drop us back in PSR shit double quick. We need money for an Isaak contract yet...Trafford Elanga Ghuei spells trouble

Henderson would be sensible in the sense they have very little, if any premier league experience in their squad.

Looked on a different level physically tonight. Like a racehorse amongst ponies.

For the sake of context I only buy the real ones, but mainly because I find the fakes are horrible to play football or exercise in. They’re like truck tarpaulin sometimes.

I’m sure every step of the production chain of the real shirts has also been paying a legal and fair wage… I think if the clubs didn’t show such frequent contempt for the fans and nakedly display that we’re seen as customers there’d be more merit to getting animated, but their conduct makes it fair game in some ways.

I'm definitely making a conscious effort to not buy off DHGate etc for the simple reason that I've absolutely no idea what I'm funding. I've no proof of anything, but I'm uncomfortable enough to never do it (again). However, the prices for the real things are utterly scandalous (certainly at the time of release, anyway) and I theoretically would say power to anyone using the fake markets... if there weren't those troubling unknowns. It's a nightmare for consumers really. You're a mug if you're paying full whack but you're potentially funding criminality if you buy from cheaper sources. I don't really blame anyone for choosing to do either; however, if armies of people continue happily stumping up for the initial releases, nothing will change. I refrained from making an unsympathetic comment the other day when that CL badge peeled off whoever's shirt it was.

Which signings have they been linked with other than Henderson? Seen nowt.

Maybe Harvey Elliot would be a better signing?

Can't wait to watch them get sucked straight to the bottom like a Barrymore pool boy. The Bonnie Blue of the Premier league, getting plowed every week in front of a small audience of perverts and freaks.

Priced up the full kit today for my son, including name and number and CL badge. £137. And they bring out 3 kits a season, plus other merch. I’m sorry like but the manufacturers and the club only have themselves to blame if people go to DH Gate.

You need to come with more evidence than ‘do a quick google search’. They always put this message out to deter people, starting with dodgy DVDs in the early 2000s. But it wasn’t a criminal gang selling knock offs, it was John from the club who‘d bought a £400 dvd writer.

Will be seperate but not assured of a home I don’t think.

Am stupid enough to pay full whack for a LS Third kit if it’s owt like KI’s mockups tho.

I mean, that suggests that buying from a legitimate source doesn’t fuel an/several industries with dodgy dealings. I spent about a grand on random merch and shit this/last season. For now I’m getting the new kit for the kids from a snider. Mostly cos I feel less need to buy legit given it’s not the first year of adidas, and the shirt is meh.
