  1. Can't see him leaving. Murphy isn't close to a return. I guess we can shoehorn Barnes or Gordon there but like selling Wilson, we would need two replacements as we are already short. Also like Wilson and Trippier, we won't get more money for them than we will right now. I get why he would be on the list of options to sell. Would mean bringing in a much better RW this window though. I'd take the upgrade as much as I'd love to keep miggy as squad depth.
  2. I heard Britain's Nicest Policeman magazine is apparently cancelled. Not sure why they seem to have got such abuse online.
  3. It's a gamble if we let him go. The bigger worry is him being Bayerns backup and having to wait to windows end to see if it happens or not. We simply can't afford to do that and miss out on other targets.
  4. Potential hammer blow today but hopefully we use it to motivate. We will have to beat Burnley. The same frailties in defence and midfielf cover cost us. Forest really nullified out attack too.
  5. Some weird bounces and rolls off this pitch!
  6. PSG has asked, we rejected. Player flew home from Paris to push the move.
  7. Absolutely let Forest control the game the last 15 minutes. Comedy of errors at the back. Again surprised we are bringing in another striker ahead of better defenders of a quality DM
  8. Also signed that English youth RB from Wolves. I think we likely have enough to get to seasons end. Not sure what losing Tripps would do for the squad morale though. It's a tough one but if we were to sell Tripps and Wilson and bring in another young world class mid and striker then I'd probably take it. We'd really need two strikers this window though or one striker and a RW that could also play upfront if needed. Also if selling Wilson and Tripps meant keeping Bruno, Joelinton, Isak and Botman for another couple of years I'd absolutely take it.
  9. Da Fook? While both are likely complete bs, imaging losing Wilson and Trippier this window. Madness in the lockeroom
  10. Aye. Not sure if this is positive or negative news. The Manure rebuild and hiring season is in full flow though. https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1748782495384924597?s=20
  11. We are all about strikers and goalkeepers. Defence and Midfield protecting it seems to be the biggest issue when playing the better teams.
  12. Love Manquillo. Barely remember a game he played that he wasn't solid. Mystifying what it is that he is missing that he always ends up being the coaches 3rd choice. Good luck to him. Important move for our FFP.
  13. Interested as to who leads the transfer charge for this team. Do we have a separate recruiting and scouting team to the men's? Is it largely just Becky and her team?
  14. https://twitter.com/TheAthleticFC/status/1747589836352217233?s=20 Probably giggs'd this and it's already been posted. Having Miley more expensive than Gordon is certainly an interesting choice though.
  15. Aye. Both have sold players for significant amounts and have profitable academies. Liverpool begrudgingly have been run reasonably well. Spuds essentially have too, some misses on the management appointments side and levys rumoured tinkering aside.

    Joelinton

    Don't worry.. he will have retired from football this time next week given the progression. Reincarnated by mid February and ready to go by March.
  17. Press pushing Phillips to Spuds on loan now.
  18. So once Ritchie, Dummett, Lascelles and Krafth have come on today.. ...Parkinson next to avoid having to play Hall?
  19. While Phillips seems the universal solution I can see the hesitancy. Given our track record and his own injury record and lack of games, there is a high probability we pay a ton of money for a loan to Man City and then he gets injured and doesn't play for us. Our level of intensity and playing/training style could cause issues too but it's not like Man City are going to be slouches of any less intense than we are, so that's less of an issue. His positives knowing the league and being able to perform in it outweigh the potential negatives. It's a gamble for a big loan fee and we will risk losing him to other clubs gambling later in the window for the loan fee to be lowered.
  20. Thats crazy talk imo. He can play in Mid like. He is younger than Solanke, different type of striker but deadly and great at setting up plays and his movement is tremendous. Howe would be incredible for him. Lille have put his price sky high in previous windows and blocked sales. He has relentlessly been linked to most top clubs in the world. There is also a reason Solanke plays in the
  21. They will accept and then he will turn us down after everything is booked in for the travel and medical.
  22. How much are they quoting for Solanke? Seems like we would likely get someone like Jonathan David for cheaper. Lille wanted €35m apparently.
  23. We aren't looking for any player. We are looking for THE player.
  24. Did they change the Roy Keane name graphic after the game from "former Sunderland manager" to "four time premier league winner with Manchester United"?
  25. Professional performance. Well done lads.
