Menace

Howe has handled this whole situation like Roaul Moat

Injured: no pre season so it costs us regardless Not injured: not much time for a replacement so it costs us regardless This summer has been an absolute shit show.

Apparently has told Howe he's not feeling well so can't fly out.

Have absolutely no doubt he's going to have a cracking season.

Do you genuinely think this logic is sound? If Caicedo was highly rated why was Brighton the only club in for him, same for Baleba, Joao Pedro etc Like we didn't sign some cracking players when we were floating with relegation ffs

Van Persie joined Man Utd at 29 and was quality for them. This age thing is overblown - we'll get a good 3-4 seasons out of him and it's a job well done IF we sign him.

Calvert Lewin Free Jovic Free Lindelof Free Calabria Free Doucoure Free Sorted.

Ashworth was the problem. Mitchell was the problem. Insert new replacement was the problem. Do you see where I'm going with this?

This is no different to the "at least we tried" bids under Fat cunt.

If it was a case of money he'd have gone Saudi - Saudi clubs wanted him.

Baffling really - Xhaka is still quality.

I don't understand how people still have confidence in Pope. He's a good shot stopper but has a mistake in him. These are the fine margins that separate the top 4 and the top 6. We need a new keeper.

"don't want to rush a signing" "Monitoring" "Admirers" "Can't afford to get it wrong" "PSR"

Shame. Howe would make him world class

Mainoo?

Apparently he was involved in signing Hojlund from Sturm Graz for Atalanta. I suspect we're going to go the analytics route rather than just punt EPL players each window.

Grassroots is still class

I genuinely thought he was on the wind up.

Technical Director at 33 is some going for him like. Fair play.

I don't understand, who hired him if our CEO is on his way out?

If we signed Bednarek and Muric I think suicide rates in the north east would double over the week

Hypothetically we get Wissa, a GK that's not Trafford, and a CB - would people be happy? I still think it leaves us short personally.

Seems absolutely lazy blaming a guy who has left for our current issues. This is the blaming Amanda for PSR all over again nonsense. I think Howe/PIF can take some blame personally.

This guy really is an absolute clown.
