If we lose miggy and Kelly and don't get anyone in until the summer lol Still be surprised, if not a touch dissapointed if we sell Kelly this quick. He is a quality, proven player in this league, even if he has had a shakier start to his newastle career. If it avoids PSR issues and we upgrade I am all for selling. He has barely bedded in yet though.

Fastest player in Europe fast? Get him while he is cheap

Can't get back to his best without consistent games. Can't afford to carry a player that contributes nothing to get form/full fitness back. With PSR so prominent and wanting to keep our best players Willock is an immediate collateral damage sale. We won't get what he is potentially worth though and won't bring in a replacement either, so I get Eddie's catch 22.7

A winning run brings confidence, sometimes over confidence with a hint of arrogance. We were so calm from the first whistle to the point of being passive in defence. Maybe a misguided confidence we would get back into any game if we went a goal behind. Bournemouth had us down tactically from the start. The press and closing down wide angles. We had no idea how to break them down and could cared less about closing them down or marking runs. It was an absolute shambles. Congrats to Bournemouth and their fans that traveled. Maybe we had nothing in the tank but it appeared we simply didn't want to risk starting the engine at times. Credit to Tonali and Bruno. Gordon ran his heart out at times too. Overall as passive a performance as we have seen for good while.

I get the wait for the summer but can we afford to? Barnes is out for a month. We can probably shoehorn Tino, Willock or Osula there but it's not ideal. Sanusi isn't ready. Harrison doesn't seem to be either. An injury to Gordon or Murphy and we are in trouble..

Surely a goer this. Great price if true. Likely 11m all included and who knows how rhe payments might work, which could derail things. 11m is a GREAT price.

About right for a loan fee.

Yeah but the imminent Jamie Miley to Saudi for 30m should cover that 😉

This seems pretty unlikely, although the Fener VP confirming is interesting. Looks like we want to keep Schar a little longer, Krafth is back imminently and Botman doing well at RCB has, in Eddies own words "given us something to think about going forward" and in the market. Maybe we have a different CB target and are happy to let Lloyd go to fund it.

Certainly could have had a worse draw here. Still fear of the absolute humbling they gave us in the cup years ago remain lol. Hopefully we will have the squad fit and focused enough to ease through this time.

Not keen on Manure turning a corner. Still fun to see Arsenal rocking hard. Hope it continues.

Grew massively into the game, easily MOTM as mentioned. . Not sure the trust is there yet with Howe but he is surely our 4th best option in midfield now. Great to see him playing again. He is massive and so is his potential.

Has he earned himself a cameo/sub minutes next game with that goal? Probably not. Still a cracking effort and hopefully a confidence boost, something he looked a bit short of today early on.

Miley has grown into this game. Surprised Munda wasn't given a chance today given the noises we have heard this year about him being close to breaking through. Either longstaff or willock are starting to look expandable. However, If we manage to get into Europe we are still a year or two short of having enough home grown players to keep a full squad aren't we? I'd assumed we would keep Longstaff just for the quota. He has suitors though with Everton strongly linked. Someone has to go to appease psr. Still think it's mad if we aren't cashing in on dubs.

Wow. Very surprised Barnes got pulled. Harsh considering all the other piss poor performances.

They apparently don't 😆

Half the team have barely played the last year. Not surprising we are sluggish and error prone. Still frustrating as hell. Watching other premiership teams cruising against lower level teams and winning by 4 or 5. One day it will be our turn lol

What a strike. Miley forgiven.

Targett two years off the pace.

Hilarity.

Surprised me he took it because I'd read this quotes when they came out! That said, I thought he has already returned to Everton lol. I think he will steer the ship to avoid relegation. Too much other chaff in the league. With the new ownership and if he secures premiership status I would think he could get them in the right direction like he did West Ham.

Moyes makes lots of sense. Not convinced he will want it though. Can they spend in January with their takeover done? Or are they still in FFP shit? Definitely scary times of you are an Everyon supporter. On the upside there is a lot of poor teams below and around them in the league.

Didn't respond to my.. "you ok hun?" DM. Concerning.

I like Potter, I don't mind West Ham, although they were giving it a bit cockney large with attitude to our fanbase a few years ago. Rather them than any other London club though.

Didn't we sign 2 or 3 hot prospect keepers around the start of the takeover? All still too young, haven't worked out or I made it all up? Edit: worked it out. Jude Smith was a bust, released last year and plays for Carlisle. The others that are highly rated are too young likely. We have 12 keepers between our first team and u21 squad though, according to .com. one is on loan. Do we field a team of goalkeeper for closed door friendlies?
