Craig Hope has linked him as well. Reckons they’d send Nunes the other way.

I’ve really no idea.

He’s been a mess in his personal life for ages, well over a year. He tried to force his own move away in the summer by going to Dubai off his own back. We should have sold him last Jan, we need to be far more ruthless with sales imo. As I say, there was an internal fall out yesterday. I have no idea how big it was and I have no idea if they’ll resolve it. But he definitely wasn’t ill tonight.

Fall out yesterday, not sure how big or if it's fixable. He desperately wants away.

He's not a right winger, and he isn't as good as others on the left. Bizarre signing.

It'll be dressed up as some sort of injury i'd imagine. It isn't.

Interesting to see what happens here tonight.

I think they will have, along with Thomas frank and the fella at Stuttgart,

Agreed

The Trippier mess is nothing to do with Eddie, to be fair. It followed him to Spurs, to Spain and then to us. Should Howe have known before signing him? Yes, and maybe he did to be fair, but i think at £12m it was a gamble that was worth taking first and foremost and has still proven to be great value in any event. He should have been moved on last Jan though (and wanted to go) and Howe blocked that.

I think this is fair. I don’t want to see Howe sacked because a) I really like him and b) I think he’s got credit in the bank to try and turn this. Equally, it’s been largely shite this season and that’s on the manager. Carve it up however you wish, but save for 3 or 4 good performances we’ve been awful and if it doesn’t change soon he’ll have to go.

I’m relaxed about the Isak situation. He’s superb, obviously, but if we do sell him it’ll be for a kings ransom and the entire amount will be reinvested back in to the team so I’m easy either way.

It’ll be a German manager if Eddie is replaced, imo. Hoeness, most likely.

That'll go down as one of the worst cameo's i've ever seen thats for sure. Awful.

Summed up absolutely perfectly.

That doesn't annoy me tbh, it's the 'ALEJANDRO GARNACHO!!!!!!!' when he has a shot (same with every player). It's totally unbearable.

😂 steady on!

He's horrific, I didn't see KI's post but I struggle to watch games he commentates on. The way he shouts players names when they have a shot is just woeful.

I agree. He'd be first out of the door if I was Amorim, and I think that's exactly how it will play out.

Being comfortable speaking in public is way down my list of attributes I want our sporting director to have. Who cares?

Man City

Just got back from the match, this lad was superb.

He’s in a bad way Trippier. Still wants/needs to be away.

Unless the original plan was to play Gordon on the right, the Barnes signing is a bizarre one. It makes little to no sense tbh. I can imagine everyone is frustrated by it.

Yeah,that’s fair.
