Nah he is in his best place behind the striker. Wilson will be a much better fit than Joelinton or even carroll/gayle were. Much closer to his Atlanta time with martinez in front. The central mid behind him is more of a worry. Hayden will have to do an awful lot of work.

Would be surprised if we dont bring a DM in. Hayden is really the only choice.

Nketiah can't come in if we are loaning Holding. Maybe that's the hold up and we want to see if we can shift lejeune/schar for enough money to fund a permanent move for Holding. Could also be a bit of chain with the number one target being Brewster but Nketiah is fallback.

This signing spree will inevitably end with ASM and Lascelles getting sold.

Whipped cream and cherry on top when Bruce puts pen to paper with a new 8 year contract.

Hendrick injured yet?

Ironically it is mainly their wages that are the stumbling blocks. I thought we paid shit wages. We should carry Atsu to Celtic. Muto was such a weird fucking signing. Never got chances really. Obviously wasn't the player Benitez thought he was. I think we should be able to shift the above list without a problem. Its Lazaar, aarons and saivet that seem to be stuck on the sole of the shoe.

Don't give him too much credit. It will be Agnew and Clements doing the coaching.

That’s what you get for watching ITV. amen.

Non starter if we get Rob Holding. He looks exciting. Brewster too tbf. Neither will end up here.

In the middle. That is why we are selling Lejeune and Schar.

To be fair, that is an improvement to last time we saw him. He would never hit it that hard. Would have been the same shot but a pea roller.

Managed to keep a clean sheet for them. It's the small improvements.

Will we last the day before "expected to join Villa" starts flashing up on newsnow?

But what about Rogerio? I feel the tache quivering with rage.

I love the perceived interest in this move from Fraser. Bodes really well. I wonder if he will make eye contact with Bruce in the meeting. "Damn it phone.. why won't you ring... maybe if I stare hard enough...Spurs? Everton? Celtic? Aberdeen? Bognor? PLEEEEASE!" Fobs off committing in May, then all summer, then last week he is interested but waiting for better offers.. face to face talks and medical booked but still hasn't decided. Likely still checking his phone for offers before he steps out unto SJP for his debut.

Can we furlough ourselves. I can't seem to break my mental contract with following the club. Supporting it was furloughed long ago.

Steve Bruce is sat at home making them up. "If I keep doing it and wishing really hard maybe one of them will come true."

Linked to ManCity left-back Angelino now. We clearly have zero clue on what LB to get. That feels like the 5th left back this week.

No it's a transitional move. Knowing moving to Newcastle will likely set his career back enough to then sign with Aberdeen. One step closer.

He is a luxury player for us. He cannot play central. Has to drift pit wide. That's fine except he doesn't create or affect play enough when out wide to justify his starting spot. We can but wish the best for him but barring a complete rejuvination in confidence and a role that works, which of course we will be told has happened, I don't see him making progress. Hope this is an embarrassing post to look back on when he lights it up.

Tbf we also have 3 other defenders about the same as Lascelles. For me with Duffy, like Holding, it is not about ability it's why we would be spending money on one of our strongest areas ahead of the glaring holes in others.

That away goal though. Means everything.

That Duffy link was bullshit btw. Oh good, glad the other ones aren't.

Been a fun couple of months of targets From Koulibaly Coutinho, Havertz, Ronaldo, Schick To Rogerio, Jovic, Sessegnon, McKennie, To Wilson, Fraser, Smalling, Marega, King, Giannoulis, Gray To Ibe, Bernardo, Holding, Duffy, Deeney Approaching end game now. Wonder what we will end up with when we fail to get the latest fall back options over the line.
