STM

Will be announced when it's done. It will be done once the second part of his medical is complete and paperwork signed. My guess is tonight. We tend to have medicals done over two days, god knows why but there must be logical reason.

There's a couple of great YouTube podcasts around with Keith Downie where he talks about us, transfers and the takeover etc. He comes across proper sound TBF. Think him and Pete get a bad wrap because they work for SSN.

Spurs are having a nightmare in the transfer window and it couldn't happen to a bigger set of cunts. Losing out on Adama is a new low and Liverpool have taken Diaz off them too. Fabulous. Hope Conte spits his dummy and they have to look for a new manager.

Not a chance of that happening. He will do obligatory picture with Toon top in Brazil and then join up with us on Wednesday.

Nketiah will be fine. He has pace and knows where the net is. Between him, Wood and Wilson we should get some chemistry going. I think Howe prefers a 442 of sorts.

Medical won't even be done yet. Will be announced tommorow or even Sunday and you lot will be shitting yourselves. He will get flight into Newcastle and won't even go back to Lyon IMO.

If Bakker is off, that leaves us 16m euros to play with to sign someone else.

With Lewis available and Manquillo around I'd much prefer us to focus on an attacker, if its a choice.

Hendrick will get binned to boro IMO. Can't see any other senior player leaving.

Mate, just be happy we have someone who isn't scared of the ball.

Wages can be tarted up however you like. Yes Bruno might be on 100k but he also might have 20% win bonus added to that or 10k appearance fee or a number of other things. Other players shouldn't be privvy to what he's making anyway. Besides which, only Wilson, ASM and Joelinton could dare to ask for more wages. The rest can fuck off.

We could move late for Carlos like. We might feel he's worth the premium. Not out of the realms.

I know Flip is Brazilian but I'm not having that.

Gim- ar- ice Is what I have been doing.

Aye, you think agents are going to pull the plug? who do you think organised this deal.

Need to get a better deal though. 2m loan fee + 8m survival bonus sounds more acceptable to me. If we survive he will stay, we can be persuasive.

I think Lingard will have to decide what is more important, a big signing on fee in the summer or playing football for 4 months. He's better off moving on a permanent deal and asking for a release clause. I also don't think he will have that many big clubs after him in the summer. Perhaps a big club abroad but that seems like a graveyard move. He's still looking at the Everton/West Ham bracket, not the Spurs/Arsenal bracket.

Froggy is right BTW, why would man utd let him go today? They will wait until Monday and flog him to whoever offers the most for him. They won't let him go for free in the summer, that would be cutting off their noses to spite their face. Monday will come, their will be a few usual suspects in the mix and it will come down to whatever the best deal is for Manchester United, not Jesse Lingard.

Medical in Belo Horizonte, apparently.

I think we will get him anyway. Brinkmanship. Froggy, we are shite mate. Lingard is a massive upgrade on what we have.

Happy to relax after Bruno.

I'm not religious but I've been checking my phone all day and decided to go to bed at 10, thought fuck it and had quick word with big man upstairs (sir bob obvs) before closing my eyes. Woke up for a piss at 4am and weve turned into the new galacticos, now like fuck am I getting back to sleep. God's real guys.

I think they mean deal is done, not player has signed. Hopefully we get news of its acceptance.
