I believe the story broke through Ornstein but then Staveley confirmed it in an enthusiastic manner.

Just watching the clips he looks more 'all action' than just sitting in front of the defence. I don't know his game that well.

Would he and JL7 play either side of Shelvey in a 451?

They won't win their league, qualify for CL or win the CL. I'm not sure they are keeping Botman just to get a Europa spot. More likely they believe they can get us to pay more now or conduct an auction in the summer. Didn't mean to be rude, just succinct.

Lille are not in the hunt for anything

Would prefer Webster

I don't think they expected to receive £25m for Wood but....It would have been cheaper to buy Burnley and strip it

Allegedly they want £30m.

Nothing stopping you speak to agents. No point in agreeing a transfer fee if the player doesn't want to come. Easier to agree a fee if the player indicates he wants to go.

No coincidence imo that we walk just as they commit to spending on Martial. Do they have money post Covid? Over to the player/agent to push this through with Seville before we buy elsewhere.

I'd prefer Salisu if we want EPL experience

He just needs to wear some longer studs so he doesn't slip as he is about to score.

Was probably just a back up to Gosens....

If you can't get pissed and stoned when nufc win away with a clean sheet then there is no point. Less frequent than Haley's Comet nowadays.

Wonder how the players will manage ten days sober

Brentford (h)!! For all his faults he is good in the air.

He might score today! Leeds are poor in the air and with Wood joining and JL7 in midfield we are a Trippier set piece fret.

Unless it's Athleti

May as well get shot of Howe too; we can all pick a better team. PIF can stay as they bring something I haven't got.

But the player doesn't

Loan deal or permanent deal for five months. Semantics. How much do you want to get rid manyoo?

Totally agree. Tell the players agent we are moving onto other targets if this isn't done by Friday (3pm?). Let the agent tell the player how many goals to give away in tonight's game. Wait for Seville to agree to £30m. Downgrade the offer to £20m. Buy the German / French and Dutch boys.

....and Manquillo or Lewis LWB till Gosens is fit

If we are targeting six players that may be four buys and two loans. The loans are likely to come in the last few days of the window. So we are just past half way through the window and have made two of our four buys. I know we are al keen to see reinforcements but we also need to accept that progress has been made and the real negotiations are still ahead.

Not sure I agree we you about Ritchie. Recently he has learnt to stand still and look at the ball, ignoring his man.
