Just imagine where you'd be if you'd stuck in at college.

Isak was hit and miss at Sociedad before we signed him too. It's about how he fits in with the system and squad.

We've moved from "monitoring" to "set to" though lads

Probably in the minority here, but I'd rather be closer to the bottom of that list than the top tbh. Nowt I hate more than defenders and keepers fannying on with the ball.

Now compare their premier league numbers when Murphy was 23 years old. If we're after Elanga, it's because we feel his ceiling is lot higher than we currently have.

He did, but we're not the ones making the decision on who is 2nd choice.

To be fair though, it's somewhat understandable. The last few windows have justifiably left people skeptical of our work in the transfer market.

Where are we getting 3rd choice from? The end of the season suggests he's very much still 2nd choice. It could be a Lewis Hall type situation with Osula, but there's been nothing so far to suggest that Eddie sees him as being a preferred option to Wilson up front.

If you're keeping a player purely because he's a good guy, nice to have around the place, then you'd just offer him a job in your staff surely? If we're offering him an extension to his role as a player, taking up a squad space, then to me the intent is clearly to try to put him on the pitch, which suggests we won't sign a striker this summer.

True but Dubravka isn't bad with his feet either, but as we've seen from his stints in the team, we need defenders who can cope with a press too. That is more urgent than a keeper IMO.

Bring them back as DOF

Feel like they can have their name back for a bit. I'm sure they'll earn the Roflham Lolspurs title again in due course.

Spurs will never build on anything while Levy is there.

I'm fine with this outcome. Man Utd would likely build on champions league qualification, Spurs almost certainly won't. For Newcastle, this is the best outcome IMO.

aye. Absolutely bizarre that shit like this happens and then the Premier League and Sky are shocked at people using alternative means to watch the games. No reason every match this weekend couldn't be televised.
