Just feel our transfer team are getting the transfer tone spot on, time after time. Trippier, Krafth and Ashby is some tasty selection choices at RB. Ashby could come off the bench against West Ham.

Been to all bar Tranmere. So, lads. What chances of me getting final tickets. I've got a season ticket (3 actually), have been to Palace, Bournemouth, Leicester and now Southampton but only got 7 loyalty points on the season tickets. Am I good to go? Or is there still a risk?

Look. It's a Sunday, it's a bit bloody boring. Can we not have some content please?

Some will disagree but these look class. Imagine winning one of these fuckers.

Be still my throbbing cock.

We are being waaaaay smarter than city were.

One thing I will say, and I'm a fan of this signing. I don't think I ever saw Gordon wearing a black and white shirt. Just seems strange.

Yeah, we still have some culling to do.

Reckon West Ham would be stupid not to get some money for him.

Even without Manquillo: LB: Burn, Targett, Lewis, Dummett, Richie Just think having 3 right backs on the books is excessive, unless they can play in other positions. If anyone offers us money for Manquillo, we should take it.

If we get Ashby, surely Manquillo will be allowed to leave too?

Seems to have done his medical quickly. Was only at the training ground for 3 hours or something.

Your not serious?

Aye, West Hams youth players are kicking off that Moyes isn't giving them a chance. It's got so bad that one lad went to Sunderland.

Is there not some debate on whether to take any fee to a tribunal, where NUFC believe they will have to pay less? I think that is where the hold up is. If we decided to go for Ashby now, we don't want our pants pulled down over a fee, when we could get him for pennies in the summer. The club are clearly conscious of having a strong British element to our squad.

Was Gordon in the England youth set up at the same time as Ashworth was running things? It would explain why the latter trusts Gordon's character.

Sell on clause too.

Overpaying is a matter of opinion though. It's also worth reminding people that we've just fleeced Forest for 15m.

Didn't realise he was 6 foot. Always had him down as a midget.

Makes a change for us to be taking young English talent off Merseyside, been decades of the other way around. Oh how times change.

Is Caleta Ca suspended or does he miss the FA cup game?

All aboard the rat train.... choo choo....

He's 21, if he spends the bulk of his career here, its a fair price. If he doesn't, we will get half of that back.

FWIW, I think Gordon has a higher potential than Harrison of Leeds, who's in a comparable position. Gordon is a classic young kid with plenty of potential but a bit of headless chicken. He just needs pointed in the right direction. He's not the sort of player who you expect to do something magic on the ball but I think he's quick and could pose a massive problem physically to stretch defenders. He's a good building block type player.

Yeah, sorry. Kind of entered the middle of a conversation.
