And this is why they’ll always get away with being shite.

Which ace journalist wrote this line two weeks ago, do we reckon? "The chances of Matt Targett making his loan move permanent have reduced dramatically in the last few days."

Journalists bang on the money with this one, as usual, eh? Remember that talk-in Caulkin, Hope, and Douglas did?

Lovely stuff. 1/5 of the budget gone, mind.

Started on Monday, Hayden loaned on Tuesday, Targett signed on Wednesday. Not fucking about Wor Dan.

Howe's said Lewis will be given a chance in pre-season, they've extended Dummett, and now Targett is coming. With Trippier and Krafth both capable of playing LB, there's legitimately no space for Manquillo. He'll be off.

There's no room for Manquillo in the 25, like, Murphy and Fraser would be used in an emergency I reckon.

I heard Maldini had to beat him in a foot race to get his signature, and he did. Comfortably.

Aye, seems like Lewis will be given a chance to challenge for the place now that he's fit again.

Regardless of that, it's hilarious that they think they've "won" when Targett was a vital part of the team that finished three places and four points ahead of them. They were seven places and 11 points better off than us when he joined.

I enjoy your poems.

Wonder if we'll be in for Sanchez?

Love this, was worried it wasn't happening. Potentially just waiting for Ashworth to join before doing anything official in or out?

Dunno whether it's just my new sunny outlook talking, but I really like the kit.

"The Canaries will have an obligation to make the deal permanent should specific performance-related criteria be met throughout the 2022/23 season."

Pua taste that.

Paul.

Stupid Howe.

Ekitike and Henderson would be a canny start to the summer, mind.

Did a quick filter by "young", "CM", and "international" in Europe's top leagues. Ruled out unrealistic candidates like Tchouameni then wasn't left with much in our sort of ballpark. Of those, he seems the most obvious fit for our system and style based on a quick YouTube scout and looking at his available statistics. Seems likely to move to the PL this summer for around £15M, but we haven't been directly linked anywhere as far as I can tell.

Aye, been starved of content lately.

I'll guess at Cheick Doucouré from Lens.

They were surprisingly on it in January, interested to see if that persists.
