Nusa has been fantastic for Norway, but I'm not sure he's a good fit for Eddie Howe with all the high pressing and defensive work required. I think some of the reason that he shines for Norway is that I think he has less defensive responsibility there than with Leipzig. Besides he's a left winger, we don't need that currently. Imo that link isn't very credible. Maybe the Xavi Simons link is more credible.

Was a while ago. Took a photo of one of the new signings and it was v apparent that he was hiding in a bush to take the pic. He got some pelters for it😂

Won't be the only team to have parachute payments plus the Championship now has Birmingham/Wrexham in it too They are lucky they got promoted this time, if they go straight back down I wouldn't be so sure about them coming straight back up

Really not that interested in him, id rather him go to Chelsea. The RB Leipzig rumours with Nusa and Simons excite me more.

Chelseas scouting (done by Boehly himself): *Checks tranfer rumours online* *Googles "players wanted by top Premier League clubs"* *Watches some youtube highlights of those players* *Puts in bids for them at the quoted price from internet articles*

Yeah, it's that left side they're prioritising at the minute. Gittens appears to be the one they really want there. As for the number 10, they do play Palmer there as the starter. And seen them linked with Harvey Elliott recently as an option there.

It’ll be a real privilege to see him line up in Chelsea blue, on the bench.

Has he tweeted that??

Basically this rn

Sure there’s a bit of journos mentioning Chelsea in every transfer story as well.

The way he talks about how managers can't come in and succeed with that squad stems from the narrative the media kept pushing about how Bruce was doing the best he could with a useless squad. We didn't have a great squad, but Bruce made it look so much worse. Just shows how those media narratives decides what many people think about teams that they don't follow closely themselves, and how it makes fans of other clubs delusional about us.

That's what I was thinking, otherwise they might have been looking at him as a number 10/CAM, but doesn't Palmer play there? In either case he'd be sitting on the bench for them.

Chelsea transfer policy = target all Newcastle targets as they seem to know what they are doing

Think Chelsea were looking at him as a wide forward on the left, but have since prioritised Gittens instead? Don't think they're still after him as much. Especially as he isn't a previous Man City academy kid, which appears to be their latest obsession.

Time will tell but I like these type of signings, let’s hope he’s not better value than 50 million plus on Elanga.

Looking forward to seeing him playing in a Chelsea shirt next season when they gazump us.

Looks more like an American Football top than the Lord’s own Association Football.

Pointless worrying about Chelsea with every transfer. Eventually they won’t want someone we want

Chelsea customers seem outright incensed at the idea of them buying Joao Pedro

You have to hand it to them. Chelsea’s unwavering commitment to embodying everything that’s wrong with modern football is almost impressive in its consistency.

What'd they say?

End of the day Pope has had the chance to play Champions League, two cup finals and win a trophy as a starting player. Almost no goalkeepers will get to that career height, so if he is accepting of his own physical decline he may not particularly be motivated to up sticks even if he is second choice.

No right winger we can afford will have had as good a season as Murphy last season.

Usually means just need to agree minor details on the add ons or the payment structure, if there's any truth to that.

They were diabolical last season. It beggars belief how they got promotion. Second best against Coventry and second best against Sheffield United. Unbelievable luck!
