Seems canny crazy to grumble at bentaleb, rose and lazaro but we have to get a striker surely! Giroud would be a bonus and decent stop gap but surely unlikely.

I will take it. Great addition and likely as good as we could ask for. Hope he can stay fit.

Knowing our luck Ashely will agree everything then it will be blocked by the League, Fifa, Nato, or Gateshead Presbyterian Church Coffee group committee.

Hard to think anyone can be a bigger legend than wor kev at this club. When this Ashley era does finally end I hope kev isnt too old for those bridges to be built between him and the club. Just having him back at the club in any capacity would be huge as an ambassador is the most likely. Just getting him back in the ground seems like a dream!

Knowing him he will sell to the shittest option out of spite. That said no he wont because the shittest option is him staying.

Smells like a hijack a comin. I would be pretty happy with Rose. Move that makes sense for everyone. Not convinced it will happen though.

Adebayor and Murray. Beyond the smokescreen of expensive quality additions lies the seedy truth. In fact we have apparently backed away from getting Murray because he wanted a contract longer than until the end of the season.

If Rafas good with it. I'm good with it. Honestly I think everyone would love us to do it the honest way without buying the league. The past 10 plus years has ripped the soul out of so many of us I don't really care at this point. I dont begrudge any of us the potential taste of winning something whatever the means. Also not like 99% of owners arent utter villainous cretins either.

Dont you know there is a takeover attempt going on. Its distracting. Couldnt have come at a worse time. Obviously it affects our efforts bringing players in. They want to know who is running the club, what the long term future is. Not only that its effecting the lads on the pitch. I hope whatever happens happens and quickly. Either way we just cant have this type of distraction. Hopefully soon we can move forward like normal and get back to everyone giving 110% for this club and its fans as everyone that works at the club always has done.

BBC doesnt add anything just rehash. It is amazing at this point I barely care one way or another. So many false dawns I fully expect this to be another.

Paco Alcacer in the sun exclusives. Yeah I think not.

You might not be able to kick a ball lad but you can go pick me up some Gregg's. Hop to it, gaffers belly waits for no man.

52k, playing a league one side at home with a strong line up. What an absolute shambles. Look forward to another laboured loss to a minnow.

Nah. Cometh the time cometh the return of beardsley with shola assisting.

Bruce has already rolled out the "if we dont get anyone else in I can't complain" comment. We know how it goes. Can see a left back maybe but he already prepped us for no striker last week talking about injuries and no need for a striker as gayle and muto will be back after the two week break coming up.

Harsh on Manquillo. Easily been our best RB. At least Krath isn't shit at getting injured, take the positives.

And grin in the face of heavy defeat.

Behave yourself. Piatek upfront, Bowen on the bench.

Looks like we are already behind with Danny Rose. Regardless LB is next on the list. If we get that it will be a mass push to get the likes of Gayle, Muto, Atsu, Saviet etc. out and if there is time after a move for Bowen or a Striker might happen.

Take it with a grain of salt, it's likely him only just reacting to last weekends news of his agent being at SJP. In a weeks time he will report we have a loan bid accepted then he will poo poo and claim it was always a non starter a week after it happens.

Another left winger isnt he? Miggy was ok down the right the past two games but so much better on the left.

I'm not sure about him being our best striker like... He's our most likely striker to be fit, that's about as high praise as I can give him. Pretty fair.

Haha, legendary quote. Also can't help but watch that equalizer on repeat. Absolutely hilarious.

Playing injured apparently according to Bruce. Had to play him at Everton because there were no strikers on the bench. Yet also suggesting we wont need a striker as Carroll, Gaye, Muto might be fit after the Norwich game when we have a two week break. Regardless Joelinton is like it or not our best striker. Hopefully he gets a rest at the weekend.

Wanted him when we got Miggy. Would be great to reconnect them but not sure he would have the same impact here.
