If I had to choose between going down to League One or signing him I would take relegation. A player completely against club values.

People seem to have forgotten what a good signing Gayle is for a club in this division, plus we have Mitrovic and Perez as well who are both young and have Premier League quality and are likely to grow this season as confidence devlops. We need cover, not some sort of star player. Left wing, left back (being sorted) and central midfield would be my priorities for added quality.

No way Carr selects Daryl Murphy. Rafa chose this player at this point where other moves failed.

Love that bit in the interview Reporter: good header from Lascelles wasn't it? Rafa: he is trying to improve, I want him to score more goals now.

That is often how football goes.

Get in Rashford!

I can't recall the last time we looked so dominant and confident in attack. Hughton was probably manager.

Unlucky with the thunderbastard there.

I'm surprised Shelvey isn't tired yet.

Is it the ponytail effect again? Sold to Liverpool for £35m next season.

To be fair if a player had tried to force his way out of the club and still 5 days short of the transfer window closing, he is lucky to be on the bench.

That's like saying we couldn't sign Messi, we couldn't sign Ronaldo as our first choice striker. Let's sign Shola Ameobi instead

If Murphy was our only attacking player we signed j would be pretty meh about our summer business, however we have also signed Ritchie, Gayle and kept Ayoze. Any further striker is back up and we aren't going to find a quality player who wants to be back up. Rafa prefers experienced back up and that is absolutely fine by me.

Hopefully he is at least as good for us in this division as the last ex Sunderland loanee right back we signed

Oh well at the end of the day we have a group of lads playing another group of lads.

Play the inanimate carbon rod

Perhaps Rafa noticed like I did that we aren't carrying the ball out of defence well enough especially when Mbemba is out.

This is Hanley we are talking about, can't have too complex a joke.

What happened to that missing £0.5m we had last night? He can't even get that right, useless.

Hughton's Group of Lads philosophy makes him this division's finest regular manager, he knows how to build a Championship team that can beat Championship teams. We need to play like a Premier League team, and I'm not sure we will.

Oh ffs I was 1 sec away from completing a 700 pound cash out from a 20 bet when Northampton equalised against West Brom. Still was able to cash out for 230, but grrrrrrr

Is he a Yank imbecile? If so, does he want prontonise?

Thought that was the best bit!

Their defence and midfield have more international caps than ours.
