Is the correct answer.

Whether in the actual talent spotting side or the recruitment side, it matters not... its like we've used FM and filted 20s across the board and got the closest thing to a perfect appointment as we could have got. Our recruitment operation will be ran with not just credible people but, by all accounts, incredible people and we can only benefit. Good times.

I'll repeat what I said last time, people kept saying he'd be back in the new year, which I said was bollocks. He will back alot sooner.

Apart from Luke Edwards, I quite like all the north east journalists.

I think you are reading it wrong.

Sign Cunha.

I think our remit will be different. We need a few more ready made recruits.

Interesting that his recruitment model seems to be NOT to recruit where possible. Which actually makes a whole lot of sense. I'm not sure our young conveyor belt is quite ready for this.

W-I-N-N-I-N-G

Forest fan in the mud too.

Really want a quick signing now.

Reckon him and Nickson is some combo.

Wonder if this guy knows how to send an email to the correct people?

Similar to Tonali, we do have the capacity to do something out of the blue.

Really looking forward to an interview with him.

Looks like he could chin Ashworth.

Any decent Monaco players?

This feels very significant. Can't help but feel that we've pulled our legs out of the bear trap RE ashworth and landed on our feet.

yes please.

Great appointment and explains why there hasn't been any immediate movement on big signings. Probably having a short review first. Looks way less ratty than Ashworth. Also.... ITKs in the mud again.

I just think Trippiers legs have gone and he wasn't quick anyway. If we are dominant, fine, he's as good as anyone in dictating from the back and delivering good balls. Sadly, the reality is that we are going to have defend in games and in the PL you invariably come up against quick wingers who can make you look silly. Livramento has the potential to be one of the best one on one defenders I've ever seen, certainly at Newcastle. He's absolutely rapid at both ends of the pitch. The time is right to let him develop his game. Trippier ain't staying here to sit on our bench, not 6 months after Bayern wanted him. Any notion that he's now number 2 and he's gone. .... however, I do think Howe will see Trippier as his main RB, Howe shows loyalty to his senior players. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think 10m isn't enough to let him go. We'd need another RB.

Yes, but this is the plane spotting thread. Not sure what you expected in here but wild speculation is very much par for the course.

Could be a key moment if he does this. Any change in shape will likely see the side have more balance.

Superb

Probably will when Fulham sign him. Besides which, I think many realise he's not as bad a player as they first thought.
