Yellow cards and relegation

We kept Joe White ahead of giving Hayden a squad spot. We shall see if he gets any minutes.

Such outrageous historical spin and fabrication! "Where's all the bacon sarnies gone for the players lunch..:" *staff member points to Bruce*

Arent they hoping for Joelinton return before the end of the season? Bit mad if Hayden is staying that he isn't in the squad. We have room to add him with Tonali out. Can't believe he is more limited than Dummett and Ritchie and he had always been a solid pro. I guess White is ahead of him now too.

On gardening leave.

Hugo Ekitike still available and being offered to clubs on 6 month loan... Still would.

I don't know, all that aside, until the academy starts really working we might need him for European squads. We can't keep dummett and Gillespie hanging on that much longer surely? That said. We might not need to worry about that for another season!

That's such a massive win. Incredible performance. Absolute terriers all game. Please don't be out long isak!

I've always liked it in Rugby. Think it was a great addition. That's not hooked into the PA though is it, Just for those watching on TV? Not sure about that so much.

No outs and a loan DM is likely best scenario. Also the very stripped down basic necessity. Can't believe we aren't still working for that. Happy to keep Miggy though. We need that depth. Looks like Harrison will get a fair bit of playtime this season!

We just signed their top scorer too. Should be a tasty one. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/lumsden-it-is-definitely-the-perfect-fit/

I can't really understand a 1 out CM in, when it's Wilson/Miggy going out. Its not paid off gambling not getting a 3rd striker in the summer, now joelinton isn't even available to cover if Isaks injured. If Wilson got sold we would still need a CM but also another striker. While we have a little more cover for Miggy, it's also a losing situation. He is better than Murphy and shifting Gordon/Barnes there isn't great. All assuming those three stay fit. Just a hugely frustrating window so far.

Cracking news.

In the cup though or league?

Wrexham is the commercial hype game but the biggest banana skin which scares the shit out of me. Not least as my brother is a Wrexham fan. Can't be having that.

I can understand the limited LB minutes and using Burn. We have needed his experience. We also know Howe likes being careful with new talent, especially given his age. He clearly has ability though and is so young still. It's the proper refusing to play him when we need subs that makes everything point to the appearances and make it more confusing. Maybe the structure of the payments changes with appearances rather than the obligation. A certain amount of appearances might mean we are obligated to give Chelsea a wedge more than we want this year? ?‍♂️

Why no title change to "Genuinely ill" Miggy Almiron?

So we are not technical and full of energy as we hoped thus far.

I agree although maybe there is a scenario the clubs have agreed a deal and now it hinges on Migggy accepting, like ASM. They don't want to air that publically if he simply refuses. Still like you say.. whats the difference everyone would still know sooner or later. Are there any PL or FA rules about not fielding players when available? Don't think so.

Spurious link maybe but fits our recruitment strategy. https://onefootball.com/fr/news/newcastle-eyeing-shock-swoop-for-man-united-academy-contract-rebel-omari-forson-38940944 19 year old striker. Debuted for the first team and has made the bench for Manure a few times. Out of contract in the summer.

I'm good with this. He is such a huge influence. Hopefully it doesn't get in his head.

Honestly have zero idea how the next week and a half is going to pan out. We could sell three huge players, maybe more? Sell no players, bring in 3 players, bring in none. Can't even say for sure what position we will bring in! What a mental end to arguably the most boring first half of a window in years.

Never In Doubt.

Same reason they let Palmer and others go. They are producing so many quality youngsters but have limited opportunites in the first team given how great their first team squad is. You would think the system would be selling players like Foden for an obscene profit and moving players up but its not just straight forward all the time and if you can keep the best players, why not.
