That’s how I read it, yeah. He’ll need to push you’d imagine

His Mrs and kids never left. They stayed in school up here and he’s going to stay when he’s finished.

thats a credible link tbf though. As is hope etc

Depends who you count as credible, Ornstein? No, he hasn't linked us. But Douglas, Waugh etc have. Possibly Edwards and Hope too (not 100% sure)

He definitely doesn't, but we need to build a squad as well and you'd imagine at least one of our midfielders will move on this summer.

I just don't think we know (anyone knows) what the budget is, we have never known really, or certainly not in terms of summer windows anyway. If we sign Ramsey and then don't get a right winger in for example then there'd be hell on (and rightly so) but if we go for him, i think he'll be in addition to the 3 key areas we need to strengthen as opposed to instead of. Let's see anyway. 🤞🏼

I think we'll manage another 8 days or so, to be fair.

We need depth, especially if Longstaff goes (which it looks like he will). I do agree he seems to be very Willock-esque though, so it'll be interesting to see hat we do there if he comes in.

I think we’ll get Jacob Ramsey later in the month.

Talented family! Bet you've got some belta stories. Great that you're on here.

Is Jamie your brother, mate? I'm sure he made a comeback in the fa cup on the telly years ago and it was quite a big local story at the time.

Remember lots of stories about Jamie Burt when I was growing up. Apparently a hell of a talent who outshone Michael Owen at school boy level.

Lee Clark was sensational, one of my first footballing heroes I absolutely worshipped him as a kid.

I wonder why we didn’t have a go for quansah? £30m seems decent value and Howe was keen last summer apparently.

We wanted Harwood-Bellis 18 months or so ago. I could definitely see us looking at him again.

Ben Jacobs reckons Liverpool are going to bid for him. Also reckons they're keen on Joao Pedro & Gordon if they cant get Isak.

edwards

I really like him. I think he's a very good writer too.

Not a chance. You’d imagine we’d have attempted to do the deal if that’s the asking price.

I wouldn’t sell him, personally.

Spurs have bid £70m for Mbuemo

He’s been committed to coming for 12 months. I’d imagine we’re trying to squeeze Burnley as they have serious psr issues apparently.

I was convinced we’d be in for him. Not quite sure now after the Pedro rumours but Howe has wanted him since he joined. It would be a surprise if he wasn’t interested now he’s free.

But I reckon we’ll hold out and try and squeeze them further.

We’re definitely after Ramsey, I mentioned it in here a while ago. if it’s £29m, we should snap their hands off.
