Dokko

I was told.hes arriving today for his medical. Agent came last night as he's based in UK.

Say he's 22 when he signs then the ruling would either be based from start of season or start of when they joined the league. I'm unsure.

Don't need 3 RB either so that's Kraft unregistered

He's 22 isn't he?

During the window yes. But theres a 25 limited and 6 new players would be getting those places forcing a few out so they either leave or not play. Sure some would be happy with that.

If 6 come in then 6 will not be playing at all due to squad registration so they either don't play for the rest of the season or leave. I can see us signing 6 so can see 6 leaving. If any of that lot listed are needed before the end of the season then we're most likely going down.

Howe might give him to Bournemouth. They were keen last year and he wanted to leave. I know the reunion with Howe changes things and he might want to stay but you'd think his play time is about to be severely limited. If Howe needs him as a cheerleader then get him on the coaching side as after this window he shouldn't feature again.

Think he looks younger there than he did at stoke.

You'd hope to see the majority of: Darlow Kraft Clark Dummett Hendrick Ritchie Gayle Leave this window. Maybe £5m in total if we're lucky. Shows how shit our squad is.

Think we have to remember other teams have also gone half a season with as little points as us but don't have much of a way out unless they collectively up their game. I think the bar will be low this year: Burnley & Watford - 27-32pts Norwich - 22-25pts

Think we'll probably go up to £40m inc addons, then look elsewhere. Hopefully Digne is sitting watching this thinking about his future as an offer goes in for him as well.

Nowhere worth mentioning but always interested to see if something like this is correct. In other digging... https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/10087224 I know people like a good CH hole. Greg is his agent, guessing the other director is.his Mrs

Tomorrow I'm hearing (player & agent in Newcastle at least)

So who they signing this window? John Atkins from the Dog & Whistle?

Sounds like the German lad and Botman are clones of each other, which means we're not jut looking at positions but specific roles and attributes including physicality. Basically a fucking plan. Madness.

Was probably worth mentioning again. Been at least 30mins since the Internet had been informed of this information.

Not to be mistaken for Keven.

Just wait till Trippier comes in then the floodgates will open. He really does signal the start of a new era and put the marker down for ambition and seriousness of the new owners. To happily accept a £30m loss (due to age) as he's the best we can get will turn a few heads in the game. Even now the journos don't seem to get it, they want us linked with lazy options and to blow money on the wrong type of player so they can write more stories of how we fucked this golden chance. Isn't going to happen. Theyll make serious moves every window from now on. Shame for the player that turns down a chance to be part of it.

If we go down and PIF walk away Staveley will just pull out another investor to back her. Probably get RB more involved. It's not the end of PCP even if PIF walk away. She's here now, she's fought with every inch of her soul to get the club, no way it leaves her hands for a very long time.

Same division, not league.

And the takeover wasn't happening, ever. Guess that hangover is kicking in.

Should have asked for it to be called off

Yeah, just been reading on his injury. Nasty.

Tomori, Kjaer & Romagnoli, where does Botman fit in that order? Sure Milan have a few of their own decent starlets knocking on the door as well.

Need to nail this asap and move on to the next one. Not that i'm not grateful, we just need bodies in and settled before Watford, which is a tougher game than people think.
