Rather than a suave Italian accent, seems Tonali has a touch of Brazilian breaking through. Good god, Bruno and Joelinton have a lot to answer for.

Fair. Drop the grey then. People appear to be forgetting how the mancs literally couldn't pass to each other because of such a 'colour'. Even as an accent that covers a small amount of the shirt, that still means a potential loss of, say 15%, passing accuracy.

Grey? As an accent colour? This country is the pits.

Massively happy for my cousin's kid moving back into the WSL, but had a vague hope of her coming to us this season, maybe on loan. Not that she has much of a link with the NE, and no doubt best to be stepping on with one of the top teams, but hoping she might see the light and become a black and white in a few years!

If this guy stops being a buzz word biscuit, and fills me with Sunny D, I'll absolutely be buttering crumpets.

Right, now that that one's out of the way, any new links today on players coming in the next window?

Fair enough.

Fucking yes mate, coooooooomon!!

Give me a mo, will have a Google.

That is a disgrace.

I feel someone needs to buy this chap a pint, have a little chat, work through any problems, and hug it out. He's being a right knacker.

Did you read that in the MSM?

Tbf he's not ruled out Sunderland there either. Could be right elbow wobbler of a move.

As long as you are near a fax machine I'm happy.

Wait, rabbit? Deschamps on Rabiot’s lack of a club: “He has offers, he must make a choice” Concerning.

Not in any way, no. And yes (or vice versa reading forwards). Just a plaintive cry against looking to deeply into the thoughts of people we have no direct contact with. Likely I'm just on the spectrum and can't quite get on a handle on the undoubted talents of the body language experts tbf.

All fair. Hope to fuck we keep hold of Isak. He's the only one I have any concerns might up sticks.

I'd love to get into the minds of people who think they know the mind of Eddie Howe. The confidence in their assertions is a wonder to behold.

50/50

Howe have we gone backwards from last year? Dazza Eales oot!

I mean a fiver for a pint and a pasty sounds decent. Presumably you can just walk out after polishing them off?

Absolutely fizzing seeing him out there again.

Lifting pata either way.
