He is going to be England number 1 if he stays fit. His head down quiet lad persona has probably held him back too.

Paqueta and Pulisic on loan please.

Fixed

6 or 7 out of 11 replaced

Holding out for Newcastle but they're slow, slow, slow.

Im dreaming of Diaby too, why not dream in excess!

Will surely depend on what other players we have targeted for RW/CM. Having 4 strikers in the squad is certainly not a bad idea though.

Wasn't Pinas, Marcelino, Guivarch or Luque level but on par with Maric, Cordone and JDT.

Moyes on Paqueta from the BBC. "He can play as a number 10, an eight, and he plays as a false nine for Brazil quite often. I think his pedigree is really good," said Moyes. "Pedigree doesn't always guarantee that it works, but you would hope that it helps towards him possibly getting better." Of course he is covering some bases here and maybe out of context but fuck that must be inspiring for Paqueta to read lol. Good record might not work out but hope he will improve!

Reading Romano saying "already jn England" is EVERYTHING! Can't believe this might happen. Can absolutely still see Pedro happening if the price is agreed. We were always looking for Ekitike plus another striker. The next question is RW or another CM. Can't believe we would get both. That said if the player and deal is right, i wouldnt rule it out. Imagine if they managed to get Diaby or Maddison too. The forum and the entire northeast would break.

Considering the names we have been linked with, even the European based players with potential that have been spuriously linked, I would be pretty dissapointed with McTominay. It's a naughty turd rumour that won't flush though and it couples well with Howe wanting prem experienced players. I trust Howe and the team though. If they want him I think he will thrive here. Still hope for a sangare or seko fofana for the price McTominay would cost.

..And I was not expecting to wake up to this news. This is true? Surely not!

CHO replacing Diaby? Or just wishful thinking?

Basically both parties went out on a bender, woke up in bed with each other and neither can remember what happened or what was said and done.

I would be OK with Miggy going but we would need to sign another winger/AM in addition to what we already need. If it funded getting Diaby and Maddison, sure. But we need to add to our bench not subtract. Love miggy too.

I remember Dubs coming in against Manure and the subsequent games. He brought instant calm and assurance to our backline with a ton of amazing shots stopped. He lost confidence with his injuries and has become more erratic imo. Pope is having the same instant impact he did. Dubs is great though no doubt.

Even the McTominay and Jose Cifuentes ones this evening?

The Foundation helped fund it.

Backup striker, possibly another wide option on the left. Think he has played predominantly through the centre and sometimes LW.

I understood nothing, but spoke very well buddy Its all code... I know nothing about a newcastle move but I spoke very well with a buddy

Hopefully we are waxing lyrical about them by season end.

To be fair, if he wants to save face he is best just maintaining its happening as it looks like, even if his tweet is wrong, we will find a solution and sign him soon enough.

Feck! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62627177

Pedro won't count against the squad size given his age will he? Neither would CHO if we got him. Likewise Manu Kone if those links were true. If there are deals out there that improve us we will have wiggle room to get more if we want to load the squad.

Nice. Excited to see what Howe can do with him and how he can fit in!
