  1. Targett will want to leave. I want Lascelles to captain the side in a CL game. I also really don't want Lascelles to captain the side in a CL game. He might have to leave fro squad space.
  2. We might sign 9 but a few of those would be loaned out. Your Ashby, Kuol, Anderson-type players.
  3. Really good to hear. He seems desperate to succeed which is great even though I think it’s been a limiting factor this season. He’s never played in a winning team. And he’s not physically at the level of the rest. He’s got a big frame for a wide man but he’s weak. He’s quick when he gets going but has poor stamina. He works hard but doesn’t know how to press effectively. If he sorts all of that out over the summer he’ll be a decent player. My one concern will always be that he doesn’t have that bit of magic all the top players do. But he can still be a good player for us.
  4. Delighted for him. a bit of a shame the World Cup was 6 months too early.
  5. Well done @Interpolic and @Slim I think you both finished somewhere like this last season. Fair gap between the rest of us as welll. Well deserved.
  6. Finished in the top 10 I think. 113k I think. Worse than last years 60k but spent most of this season 200k+ so will take it. Easily my second best season.
  7. I don't understand why you've replied with such sass. Be a better man.
  8. For memory - you couldn’t count the CL money until you actually qualified. So buying players before you had qualified was a risk. But tbh buying a new purple to try to ensure you won that play-off was a better strategy than hoping you qualify with what you have and then trying to sign someone in January.
  9. IMO ‘coaching’ is only useful for learning specific managers tactics. And even useful things from there require matches to learn in the right environment.
  10. He’s not had a breakdown. He’s expressed disappointment in a failure.
  11. Aye, nothing wrong with the Salah quotes. He's acknowledging a professional failure and taking responsibility. We are becoming sensitive little bitches.
  12. West Ham & Arsenal will spend in excess of £100m again. That's not saying much. A real splurge is £200m+ I think we'll be somewhere in between 100m-200m over the season.
  13. If the rules haven't changed you need 4 club-HG & 8 English HG total for CL. You lose a spot per every HG spot you don't fill. Newcastle HG would be: Gillespie Longstaff Add another GK. We've got loads of English HG so that doesn't matter.
  14. Lavia is also English HG. Howe likes himself an English player anyway so expect at least 1 signing to be considered HG.
  15. She's 25. I don't care at all. Feel sorry for his wife and family mind. Should sit the game out.
  16. He's been "diagnosed" with a gambling addiction which has added to the leniency
  17. Aye him & Anderson need loan spells
  18. They've got a great squad imo.
  19. Hazard was the last time Real Madrid signed a top player for a big fee in their late prime. They'd rather spend that money on a 17 year old Brazilian wonderkid.
  20. Aye he's a very good player. But he's not better than Odegaard or KDB. Players that genuinely almost "have it all". Bruno F does not.
  21. I like Bruno as a footballer. But he does not "have it all". He doesn't carry or dribble the ball well and he's not great at retaining possession. He always goes for the killer ball even when it's not on.
  22. No reason Casemiro can't add value to that team for the next 3 years.
  23. If he's still playing on the ankle, he'll need rest, not an Op.
