We are very lucky that we can financially afford to keep players in the championship, if they want to stay.

3 signings could change our fortune but with this squad, we are relegated. It's that simple. A quality defender A quality midfielder A quality attacking player/striker Bare minimum.

Few notes: Trippier and Fraser have already got an understanding. We need to take off a CM and put on another forward to get close to Wood. Dummett is Mr reliable. We will be much better defensively with him in. ASM is getting found out. He's not a team player. Get Miggy on for Longstaff and ask him to buzz around Wood for knockdowns.

Christ the redeemer in a toon shirt. Joelinton7 great stuff. ?

Just seen the Joelinton banner. Christ the redeemer in a toon shirt.

Dummett and not Richie = win.

Give it a try.

Dubravka Schar Lascelles Dummett Fraser Trippier Shelvey Longstaff Joelinton ASM Wood Would probably be our best team but it would be ashame for Trippier to not have his right peg on the right wing. Fraser is a decent crosser mind.

It's nice that we have two completely different options in ASM and Wood. One will find their way though. Remember, Watford are shite too.

Sounds like Sevilla are no longer rebuffing us. Good news. If they are willing sellers, we will get him. In by Leeds would be great.

I said after the Man Utd game that I think we will beat someone comfortably. Cambridge through some doubts in bit I'm sticking to my guns. 3-1

Yeah it's kinda weird that he went straight to that. He will insist on a cock as a toothbrush next.

Release clauses aren't often common knowledge.

We might click the mercenary button at the end of the window.

John Stones Christensen Diop Chambers Rodon Phillips Jones Burn Dunk (30, might be tempted to cash in) Holgate Keane Cody Mee and Tarkowski imagine There's some names. Dan Burn is from Blyth but by that metric we should bring back Colback.

It's not a case of whether we get a CB, it's a question of which one of our targets is going to give us the best deal. If Carlos' fee keeps going up we will probably go back to Botman or elsewhere. Surprised we haven't looked in Germany.

If we were forced into signing a CB from the PL. Would Rafa be tempted with a decent bid for Micheal Keane? P.S Don't scoff, we have to think like the club might think. We also don't have a chance of Burnleys centre backs, so that's gone. I can't see Wolves letting Coady go. We may end up with Phil Jones at this rate.

Shite source Slim.

Love the content we get from the club these days. Never felt more informed and close to my club.

One thing I'm keen on seeing.. is how we react to any other movement. For example we have seen Digne move to Villa, do we now look at Targett? Arsenal are looking at CMs, is there someone there who we could look at? I think alot of our work later in the window needs to be off the back of a fluid situation at other clubs.

Alot of hot air. If we are prepared to pay them a significant loan fee and perhaps 20m for him in the summer, they won't care less. Man Utd don't have morals, otherwise they wouldn't have tried to jump ship to the SL last year. In the end, clubs look after their own interests.

I honestly think Willock would be better in the RW role. He wouldn't work the touchline like Fraser but he would probably make some decent runs into the box. I'm not saying play him over Fraser BTW, just making the point that Willock really needs to play more advanced than CM IMO.

I wonder whether a loan for DVB might be more straight forward given his agent issues. I suspect man utd are quite keen on getting him away.

Can we have Targett please?

Not having that like. The players aren't playing for Rafa because they know they can get him sacked and the reason they know that is because the fans don't want him. I don't blame Everton fans on that front. I'm not sure how I'd feel having an ex Sunderland legend managing us. It was a ridiculous appointment. Does he have a right to question the manager? How many trophies has Digne won? Everton are a shitshow at the moment, it's no wonder you are pissed off when you are losing your better players to Villa and taking their cast offs in return.
