Howe has just spoken in glowing terms about dummett and hinting giving him a new contract. Lewis is back training, manquillo looked fine at LB and trippier could cover there. It's not like in a perfect world we couldn't also get an upgrade LB but I can't see us prioritizing it over CBs, CM and another striker. It is the one position out of those that I think we could struggle by with what we have got. The others we can't.

Quite possible LB is the lowest priority with CB's, CM and another Striker being the priority. Could be Gosens is the long term target too. At that price deals for Tagliafico, Ginter and a bunch more with contracts coming up seems like a no brainer! Makes you wonder why more teams aren't bidding though.

Isn't he one of ASM's heroes? Would be mint to have him back just for kicks. Got 25 games last season but hasn't kicked a ball sing the 2nd of May last year lol. Might get match fit enough for us to use him by March!

As long as no-one is Saville about it, everything is cool.

Absolute no brainer, would allow Carlos to play on the left as he has at Sevilla. Might be wanting for a bit of speed but is adaptable, plays in a 3 or 4, RB and has played DM.

Clearly getting both Nunez and Zapata. The plan is clear we only bought Wood to take him away from Burnley and bench him. Nico Schlotterbeck back on?

Just feel the constant press pressure, now player pressure is only going to piss Sevilla off. They don't need to sell, or want to by the sounds of it. Not the first time a players has tried to force a move and wouldn't be the first time they are told to buckle down and forget about it. No team wants a player that doesn't want to be there but he will only leave on their terms. I'd be livid if I was Sevilla or a Sevilla fan right now. Fair play to them if they are honourable and let him go now but I can see this going over the weekend at least.

Atta boy. Guess we are paying him his loyalty bonus back! Hope things move faster now but could see Sevilla dragging things out more.

It's constant, relentless smaller FFS's if you stick around VS one big "Your'e Fucking Joking..STILL.." followed by kicking something and crying. If I wasn't so addicted to the misery this club doles out I would pick the latter.

To think there was a time when we looked forward to potentially beating anyone. Then it was expecting the worst. Then expecting a slaughter from the top 5. Now it's expecting a slaughter from fucking Leeds. Hoping to jam or scrap a result. It's OK though because I think we will play the more beatable teams soon. Then I realise we at the stage where practically every team is better and every game is expecting a slaughter. We do even expect us to best the few teams that are beatable. I feel like, wake me up in two years but the journey will make the eventual ascent that much sweeter and It's part of why we love the game whilst hating it at the same time. The rise is coming. Keep the faith! These years will feel strange and foreign in those to come!

It's not the first. Reckon he will get a way with a fair bit to start. It's the ones that come after. He will get zero chance with the press who will look for him to fail, fans will follow the press. We got Woodgate!! We got Colo! We got Bramble. We got Boumsong We got to sell him.

We got four CBs we can give them to replace him.

There has been encouragement on the deal from salt n pepa too.

Lampard will jump at the job, probably would do enough to keep them up. Would be rubbish in the long term likely though. Rooney/Big Dunc. combo coming up. It is about time Fonseca throws his hat into the ring isn't it?

Didn't their president completely rule out Gosens going anywhere? CB, CM and another striker have to be the priority, preferably two CB's and CM's. I think we will survive with Lewis coming back from injury, Dummett, and Manquillo for cover at LB.

Rafa is coming home baby... to Chorley FC.

Dummett will lead us to the promised land. And likely back up from the Championship too. Great performance at the weekend for someone out so long. It was a mistake to leave him on when he was clearly gassed. Every Lewis instead of Almiron would have made more sense.

Got heartbreak written all over this one. Is Kounde actually injured? See it's still reported Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are fighting over buying him. They wont be letting both go, arguably will they let either go when they will be two points behind Real if they win their game in hand? If they are selling one, surely its Kounde for far more money? Both will likely fetch similar fee's in the summer too, if not more. Fingers crossed our offers are much more serious than the ones for Kounde.

Hard to tell with CM/DM. We have been linked with quite a few to be fair, just zero concrete bids reported. Certainly far more CM links than Left Back or Wingers. I feel like the rumours of us having a big marquee target in mind could be true. Could be they are waiting to be convinced to come by us getting the other targets in? Or we could just not be that arsed about getting a CM. lol PEA sent back to Arsenal from AFCON. He will be assessed by Arsenal club staff for recovery from Covid and the Heart Lesions found in the subsequent scan. If he gets fit again quickly those rumours might pick back up. Hopefully he is on the mend. Scary sounding stuff though.

He is flogging Lascelles and Schar tbh. "Not sure what you are laughing about Jonjo, you and Longstaff are next"

Chelsea the new club interested. Not sure if thats Reims/the agent trying to force the bids or us making him seem like a better buy with bigger clubs in for him!

Best choice would be to drop them both and put Fernandez in. He seems to be the only calm and rational CB we have.

Brett Emerton, manager of the National League North side, said "It would be nice to finally get him over the line, enough is enough."

Think there is lots in the pipeline but the sewage pipeline is blocked, currently the sewage is backing up into the house.

So Jones to Everton then. Rafa to replace him bahaha.
