Bakayoko for me. Obviously can't play up front but he's only got a year left on his deal so you'd assume he'd be £25-30m at most. Playing in the Netherlands so assume he isn't on a huge wage. The overall package might allow us to buy a proper backup striker eg. Kalimuendo and have both for what Mbeueuembo would have cost. That's the sort of deal I think we should be doing this summer.

And the fact it's only 1 game on the Saturday rather than 2 games, 1 Friday and 1 Saturday.

Is he just, you know, not that good?

not sure what's worse. the Leeds badge, the resulting cover up, or the 3/4 length jean shorts and tiny socks.

There’s all sorts of things to ponder. Dibling could have the highest ceiling but the money Southampton want is currently daft. Expect him to go to Spurs, similar to Archie Gray or Lucas Bergvall. Seems to be policy. Bakayoko was linked with Bournemouth for £25m - that’s the gamble signing of potential value. But equally could be a Moussa Diaby type semi-dud signing.

According to Keith Downie this is the list of RW we have scouted lately apart of course from Elanga. If the deal for him becomes too expensive which of the scouted players has the best credentials for the RW berth? So, who else could be on the list? Domestically, we’ve seen Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo heavily linked, along with West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, Southampton’s Tyler Dibling and Chelsea’s Noni Madueke. As for overseas options, Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche has been watched, along with Sporting Lisbon’s Francisco Trincao, Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens and Johan Bakayoko at PSV.

Good cover up job

Got absolutely merked by Ryerson from Lyngdal which resulted in Norways thrid goal. Sell.

Looks like the Lower bowl sold out now and Level 7 in the Milburn starting to sell so best part of 40,000 already sold and the match isn't for another 2 months. Big increase on last years Sela Cup match where the crowd was just under 34,000. Probably down to a few reasons but mainly the opposition and the increasing difficulty in getting tickets for games at SJP has meant that 1000s who've barely had a look in last season have jumped in early to guarantee themselves a ticket.

Good shot accuracy. He’s get more chances with us which might lead to a significant uplift in goals.

Potentially fair, and this may be what Eddie's thinking too.

The questions about his price are fair enough, but I doubt you're going to get a winger with that kind of output for much less.

Already posted.

I think Elanga has the potential to be a very good player for us, especially under Eddie. Just not sure about blowing 50m of our budget on him.

If he was good enough for Ralf Ragnick then im all in

I just hope this process is over soon. I'd hate for this to be another transfer that's goes on for an Elangated time.

Now compare their premier league numbers when Murphy was 23 years old. If we're after Elanga, it's because we feel his ceiling is lot higher than we currently have.

No saves? Worrying.

I think Mitchell's days were numbered from the moment he delivered his first speech

Bet he gets some decent boot deals

I liked him at first. He had reached the top level by an unconventional route, and seemed to bring something different. However, I don't think he adjusted to the different level of competition that he was facing - perhaps because he thought he was already the finished article and didn't need to. This season, he lost composure under pressure and started arguing with supporters, the media and officialdom. What's more, there have been questions as to whether his training methods were contributing to his team's injury problems. I didn't get the impression that he was working closely with his backroom staff. Eddie clearly works in a team framework and seeks other opinions, but that seemed absent with Ange. Another curious thing was that he didn't seem to communicate with his players on the pitch. I've often wondered whether managers shouting and gesticulating on the touchline was really effective, but Ange seemed to go in the opposite direction, as though making a particular point of not doing that. At times, Spurs looked like they needed some tactical adjustments, but they didn't come.

Sounds like one from the PR side

Be nice to hear the return of sunlunds at butlins we're going to brugge
