Some players do prefer it down south tbf, it's not the first time I've heard he is well settled at Brighton. Just move back once you're done here you lanky twat.

We should be focused on staying up, I totally get that. But that doesn't mean we should miss out on signing potential superstars for the future. This kid has got something.

Hopefully he spreads poison throughout the squad and it costs them their CL place. Forever.

We still need that killer striker tbh, but those are always the hardest deals to do.

Can just imagine Levy's negotiating tactics. "Look you're on 60k a week at Madrid...let me tell you we can offer you £62k!!!"

Aye, but Joelinton cost £40m.

Howe has that philosophy as well, we'll be buying a marauding LB in the summer. For now, we just need someone who will help keep us up, and on loan this is really good business.

Yep. He's one for the future, but will still be interesting to see what he does when he comes on.

Don't know much about him tbh, but a loan deal can't be bad. Full backs sorted. Mint.

Defo. I think we'll still take Lingard if the option comes up, but we did right to get Ekiteke in first. At least that gives us a speed merchant option up front.

We'll do the deal if it's reasonable, but we can't force Man U at the end of the day. This is their last day in the dying sun, can't blame them for trying to drag it out as long as possible.

Anyway, disregarding Joelinton's price, I'm pleased we are signing Ekiteke. Deliriously happy about it actually.

I'm supposed to be working anyway mate, I'm going to have to dredge up some excuse why I should be in there instead of her

The Mrs is planted in front of the TV at the moment (wtf?) so I had to grab the ipad and get Youtube on in the kitchen. Sky Sports will have to wait until lunchtime!

Doesn't look so bad now does it?

That's fair tbh, assuming it's true. We are still getting our eyes gouged out, but you have to expect it given we'll be taking their CL slot soon.

I mean... Oh dear.

Anyway, I am absolutely delighted with this signing, he's very raw, but the potential is massive. Great investment IMO.

Wow. Maybe you should throw your hat in the ring for chief scout job at NUFC, you've clearly watched this lad more than Nickson.

I don't care tbh. If we can spend £40m on two 30yr old players just to keep us up,I 'd be more than happy to risk £30m on this lad. He looks a talent.

I like it. Bring them all.

Get him in. Fuck Lingard.

Get in.

Loaded HQ on Youtube is mint btw. I love that they actually have people on there that have intelligent input instead of spending 50% of their time reading out fan messages which we could see for ourselves if we wanted.
