Maybe Raphinha loan for that slot? At some point Barca are going to come knocking for players, so they'll need to start building good relations, otherwise Bruno will be a Madrid player.

Certainly would at Madrid.

I'd say Bruno's performances in the league and CL eclipse anything Paqueta has done in his time at West Ham. Paqueta isn't worth £80m, more like £50-60m, but Bruno is certainly worth more than him.

Bruno - Biggest fee, pretty much isn't going to improve, can lack athleticism. Isak - Inconsistent, picks up an injury every few games. Botman - Apart from this recent injury, been rock solid. For me, keep Botman at all costs. Bruno will go if one of Barca or Madrid want him and have £100m+. Isak, might be more difficult to sell, and don't think we'd get more than what we paid, certainly not significantly more.

Dubs Tripps Schar Botman Burn Bruno Longstaff Miley Livra Hall Joelinton everyone behind the ball, frustrate them, and save legs for the 6th. Proper San Marino Vs England vibes.

Could be in now. Might not leave till after our game, but it'll go 2 ways. Either he wants to show off and get that move, or wants to protect himself against any injury which would see him miss out. If bids or interest is already live, then it'll be the latter.

There will always bit a limit, but ever increasing as our low income seasons drop off. I do think we need a good couple of sales next season regardless. Hopefully almiron, Murphy, maybe wilson as he's always injured.

I have a funny feeling he sees the rest of this season out in the Premier league.

De Gea on a free, Phillips on loan and Minteh recalled would be the cheapest way to inject life back into our season. Really, no excuses not to get at least that done. I don't really want to bring minteh back, especially if he's off to acon anyway, but if money is tight and we don't want to commit, then something needs doing.

It's all about next season for these. Get some form, settle the new manager in and don't sell anyone and they'll be in a good position via the playoffs. The 3 teams that drop this season will be the 3 who came up and although decent for that division, probably not stand out. Anyone wanting promotion this season needs Ipswich to drop out of the automatics. You're not going up with Leeds & Southampton sitting in the playoff positions. Unfortunately I think they will as well, with Southampton taking their place. So maybe a glimmer of hope.

Isn't he their current no1? Coutious injury and kepa being shite.

Fuck FFP. Break it enough times and it doesn't matter Make a right mess and tie them up in knots, then challenge it in court.

100% his fault. He ran into the box when there was no need. Usually his runs go to the edge, then be in an area to assist on any counter. That run took him out of the game and that goal out of Europe.

£7.5m was the Phillips loan fee before the season started. You'd think it would be lower for half a season. Mind, we are desperate and need bodies in ASAP.

Arca gone from south Shields.

Phillips & Ramsdale loans would go some way to getting us back on course. Put the big money into a CB or right winger. Minteh might have to come back, if so, then a £30-40m long term partner for Botman would do us wonders.

Villa are great this season. Can see why we wanted emery so badly. If I were the Dyson cunt, I 'd get throwing everything at Emery & their keeper.

I think there's a lot of people on here not wanting to show how much this means, like. Protectionism. I'm usually a protectionist (safety bets etc..) but hoying my nads on the chopping block to say, that if we lose, it would be the worst result in my time supporting the club.

I agree to an extent. Winning doesn't mean that much, it's the losing.

Fair enough, I just cannot for the life of me accept it. I'll hate every fucker on that pitch until the leave as well.

I wish I didn't feel like that. Be a lot easier. But fucking hell, I just cannot take another defeat, not when I'm starting to care again. If he lost it, does he get a pass for you, or does he lose his reserve, need to win you back round?

I shouldn't have said he's failed, I'm sorry. That's emotion talking. He's not winning this though right now, and throwing the players under the bus is failing talk. Maybe that has clouded my judgement a bit (plus beers) He's got my support, plus criticism at things I feel are wrong. Sunderland game is too much though. I wish it never came about.

You can love your lass more than life itself, but if she cheats on you then its over. That's my position on the Sunderland game. I really hope on life itself she doesn't cheat.

I've been through it, you can go back and check.

Well it is, it's unacceptable to be beaten by them. He can't complain if he walks on the back of a defeat. It would be the worst result in the clubs history when talking about derbies. You may be happy carrying that forever, I'm fucking not.
