Let's just detain Todibo until Nice let him go.

2-2 incoming. Ipswich given up after the red card.

Nearly three in comical fashion. Penalty shout too

Great break and finish. Ipswich looked great this half.

Trophy presentation!

Well that's a way to finish pre season. Some great goals!

Barnes again. Loving it.

Jesus! What a goal

Hard to tell not having seen our first eleven play together yet but it's been a concern how easily we get cut open and the opposition gets in behind. Both Fiorentina and Villarreal have been extremely wasteful. We need a CB with pace for sure.

Good finish to end a good build up.

Lascelles lol

So close again.

Close from barnes.

Pope lol

Honestly don't remember the last time I have been so excited about a player. Which is weird considering some of our signings. I have zero concerns, he showed glimpses of what's to come against Rangers and once he settles here he is going to be huge for us. You could see at the euros and from looking back at his Milan days, he is a gamechanger but more than that a real leader and fighter. We are fortunate to have some real depth and two great young players, by the looks of it in Anderson and Miley, that will allow us to take our time with Tonali and ease him in.

Fine margins, like Miggy a few years ago and Willock. Could be absolutely HUGE players for us with a bit of luck, confidence and work on finishing. I remember all the talk of the training pitch was how amazing a finisher Joelinton was for the first year or so he came here. Sometimes you just need a bit of luck to get you going. That, or we are going to see Willock converted to a world class CB and Gordon a LB. Trust.In.The.Howe.

Just found the stream

Honestly you can't always trust what Howe says about limiting incomings. He is always overly conservative and like everyone at the club now, we will play things down. We don't have much wriggle room though. Squad wise for the PL 25 GK: Pope, Dubs, Karius, Gillespie Defenders: (LB) Targett, Dummett (CB) Botman, Schar, Lascelles, Burn (RB) Trippier, Livramento*, Krafth, Manquillo Central Midfield: Joelinton, Bruno, Tonali, Longstaff, Willock, Anderson*, Miley*, Wingers/Forwards: Isak, Wilson, Almiron, Gordon, Barnes, Murphy, Ritchie *U21 So we are sat at 25 even right now (after Livramento comes in). While the talk of FFP is always something that hamstrings us, this squad size rules is also surely limiting us in the market. I don't know if we register all 4 keepers and both Dummett and Ritchie, its possible some are registered for PL and some just for CL. Also possible Manquillo leaves to free up space. I would think we could sign one maybe two more over 21's but surely our optimum signing is another under 21 so they don't count towards the squad. Lewis Hall step forward please. Champions League is the most tight. For CL we likely register a maximum 3 if not just two goalkeepers. Clubs can temporarily replace an injured goalkeeper (if out for a month or longer) at any time with someone else not in the submitted list. We also will have to include Miley, Anderson and Dummett on the 25 man list A, I think? It has to have 4 homegrown from our academy (at least 2 years from 15-21) and 4 homegrown from a UK academy. The latter is easy but the former is harder with just Dummett, Longstaff, Anderson and Miley being eligible and I think they have to be on our A list. I thought Gillespie counted but he left at 16 and you need at least 2 years past 15 to count. I can't think of many academy grads worth signing back to help. In someways its surprising we didn't want to ship out Gillespie and try for bringing back Krul or Forster. That means we likely have to drop two from that 25 at the top of the post. (Gillespie and Ritchie?), would also mean whomever comes in next also wouldn't make the list or others would need dropping (Karius/Manquillo/Krafth?). PL squad has more wriggle room. We could sign a couple more over 21's if we drop Gillespie (we did for the first half of last season) and one of Dummett/Ritchie. Ritchie included in the PL squad and Dummett for CL. Out of everyone Gillespie just seems like the odd one out, can't see room for him on either list if we are bringing any more in after Livramento. Sorry that was a bit excessive, also probably wrong

LB - Targett CB - Krafth/Dummett DM - Hayden CM - Hendrick AM - Fraser Show me the ? West Ham. I've sent the invoice for 100m via PayPal and await your payment.

Is your mate the chief financial officer there? MORE SELL ON MONEY..

With these additional signings also rumoured to be announced soon: Leo Shahar Trevan Sanusi Divine Mukasa They have been busy.

We surely need a CB with some pace, athleticism. Anderson isn't really that. He is a slightly younger version of Schar. I don't think we need that though, even if Schar isn't getting younger, turning 32 this season. Certainly wouldn't be upset if we got him. He is highly rated but doesn't seem the type of player we need. Thankfully Howe and the scouting team know best either way!

Chiesa as a statement signing loan to buy after the CB/LB. Think we will definitely get one more but 2 or 3 is probably unlikely unless we shift pretty much everyone we want to shift and the market is friendly to us. Fingers crossed.

Exactly this. A Trippier tier LB would and will be a next level gamechanger to our team but we can likely continue with the depth we have at LB either to January or next summer. Getting Tino was an opportunity we couldn't miss and it hopefully locks down RB for the better part of a decade. Fingers crossed we can get someone like Tierney loan to buy too!
