Yeah so is the kit tbf

Would be someone much cheaper too you'd imagine. Or perhaps someone that comes in on loan initially, to then be made permanent next summer.

1-0 page 13. 2-0 page 24. 2-1 page 42. Won the trophy at the last post on page 46. What a day. Still feels surreal over three months later.

It is a decent carpet like

Oh aye, I'm getting that like.

He’s going to be class

You know what? I'm excited.

you know it’s bad when the fuckin carpet looks better than the kit

Why not Gyokeres? Take this guy out of here please!

If Howe wants a midfielder ahead of a GK then we'll sign one. I'm not convinced you are on the same page as Howe though.

Is Trafford much better than Pope at kicking out, passing accurately? Remember looking at his stats a while back and thinking they weren’t up to much. Haven’t seen him play though.

Burnley have probably agreed to let us speak to him, otherwise it would very much be against the PL's rules.

Can’t gamble on Joelinton, Tonali and Bruno being fully fit and sharp for 60 games. Not even + JP. We need another genuine option even if proper backup. Willock is done here. Howe doesn’t trust him or Longstaff.

😂

Burnley will have allowed us to speak to him.

Worth a punt I reckon, I feel similarly about Ben Doak (sp) at Liverpool. He seemed to be the next big thing, now appears to be out in the cold!

I still find it puzzling, being able to agree personal terms with a player before agreeing a fee with is club. Used to be tapping up, didn't it? Would Burnley have still had to give us permission to approach his reps/him, or are 'illegal approaches' and such like not frowned upon anymore? Same with Mbuemo who's seemingly agreed terms with Man Utd, yet they still haven't met the price/terms for Brentford to let him go.

For a team like Crystal Palace, aye.

I remember Edwards telling us to brace ourselves for a summer of Isak bullshit... I think he undercooked that message 🤣

No, the contract isn't signed so nothing is binding at that point. It's just a verbal agreement.

He carried on playing a lot through pain iirc. I am assuming given some rest he will have recovered fully and should be good to go a full campaign this time. We did abuse his willingness to play through the pain barrier IMO.

Do Burnley need to sell to comply with PSR?

Quick general query, does agreeing personal terms with a side bind a player in any way? E.g. if Trafford agrees with us is he also able to agree personal terms with another club or multiple other clubs? I would imagine so but it does seem the case that almost all the time when someone agrees personal terms with a club they go to that club if a fee is agreed

He’s still our best at carrying the ball when considering both strength and pace. Hopefully this season will be his redemption arc.

Big if, hasn’t played well for 2 seasons.
