Looks to stocky for Sabaly or Sissako. Probably not even a player signing. Even we couldn't keep a signing that close to our chests after a picture came out. Is it even really from today? Maybe we resigned Doumbia.

Passion has gone in his eyes. Clearly boarded a different flight to Newcastle to get the job done.

Glad we finally got Emerton over the line tbh

Why bother... obviously Longstaff. Matty Longstaff

His finishing is fine. It's just potentially on the verge of becoming a mental block. Once one goes in the monkey is off his back and everything will be better. A good manager won't focus on the goals, if he is doing his job right, then he will be causing enough problems. Same goes for Joelinton and Maximin. We had a similar situation with Perez, he got criticised a lot during his time here, but Rafa always persisted because he was doing a good job for the team. The goals are going to come if you have players doing the right things. Bruce just needs to harness them and not panic if they miss a few. AMEN. The pace, amount of space he will create and his link up play is invaluable. The scoring will come. It is keeping the boo-boys and morons of his back thats difficult.

Maia in - Colback out! Reality - Longstaff and Hayden out - Maia bids rejected Colback in.

Don't get the Krafth signing. Maybe he will surprise. Doesn't seem better than what we have. I'm fine with Maia if its replacing colback. We will get krafth and that's it imo.

Didn't think he played that badly yesterday tbh. Doesn't mean we shouldn't still be shipping him. Think the fact he worked with Bruce last year might mean he is kept around as squad depth at the expense of Murphy and maybe atsu though.

I never ever thought I'd see the day this was said. Hes utter utter garbage man. Sad state of affairs when comments like these are made It's certainly an indicative of where the clubs at and faith on upgrading that we would be worse of getting rid. utter utter garbage is a bit far fetched mind. Garbage would have been acceptable...but maybe thats due to how low my standards have fallen.

At nearly 24 will Sterry ever be ready? Maybe a late bloomer, loan makes most sense for him. Keep Manquillo.

Also Bruce assuming he can get more out of Gayle than Rafa could. Dwight might be good for a handful of goals in the premier league but surely not much else. Far better cashing in.

Just wanted to reiterate Miggy is a saint. Having ASM and Joelinton here now should take some weight off his shoulders and hopefully one of his next chances goes in. Once that is off his back hopefully nonces like the above tweeter will be off his back too. I still rate him the highest of our front three. (very much still) Potentially the best front three we have had in years and years... and fucking Steve Bruce handling them.

That would be a good solution. Also need to sell Saivet, Aarrons, Lazaar, Sterry and Colback. In a perfect world Muto, Atsu and Gayle would be sold aswell, but all of them needs replacements. I would be happy to keep Saivet as cover if he was willing to stay. He’s not done much wrong, the West Ham game the season before last showed that against mid table and lower team he can do a decent job. Lazaar you could say hasn’t been given a chance, and again as cover I’d be tempted to keep him. Colback can fuck off. Muto did well in Pre-season, I think he deserves a chance or at least be allowed to stay as cover. Atsu and Gayle need to be upgraded upon. Ideally we could do with upgrading on all of them, however we all know that won’t happen, so there is a few there who I wouldn’t mind keeping a hold of for cover. I think Saivet should at least get a look in. Hard given the timescale but presume he is back in training starting tomorrow? Plus we would likely loan him out to a European side so there is a bit more time to take a look before that window closes. Agree with the rest. Looks like Gayle is staying unless its a bit of posturing saying otherwise which is always a possibility.

Talk of loaning out Manquillo now. That would be madness given his versatility but also form. He looks like our best fullback at the minute (not very high praise in fairness).

Nah, if he stays it is more than likely because the home situation has improved (which it fingers crossed naturally should have with age and acclimatization) or the fact he is just resigned to not getting the move he wants lol. He never wanted to leave because he didn't like it here. Still sounds like he has far from ruled out a move (this mornings rags) despite what Cabbage says.

Yep. Some ridiculousness from jetro and then ASM both taking the piss on the ball before too.

I thought Rafa was super keen on him but got priced out by Bournemouth in that season we were in the championship? Ibe was the Harry Wilson of 2016. Was rated as the next biggest thing. Much like Wilson, so big Liverpool aren't bothered about keeping him and playing him. Saw him play for Derby, wasn't that impressed tbh. He stood out as having general class but thought he was slow and wasteful. Thats the complete opposite of what he is though! Might have been just back from injury or something. Maybe we do still want a player for wide right in addition to a wingback, seems a bit much. Hope we go back for Bowen if thats the case.

ASM was listed as a Forward in the NUFC.co.uk interview. Muto, Gayle, Joelinton and he is probably including Almiron? Edit: yeah Sorensens agent said he would be first team hopefully this year. Zero focal point when Joelinton is injured/suspended.

Ok then. Translation = Been told he has to use the players he has

Too soon. I know. That strike though. Surely getting some minutes this year. What a pre-season for him and what a time for him and his family!

Aye, all the steve's.

Oh Murphy. Really approached that defender at the edge of the box thinking he was Maximin. Then realised he wasn't and was brushed aside like a fly.

2-1 Seasons over.

That was a bit silly.
