SUPERTOON

You can’t view someone we signed last summer as part of a successful window this time surely ?

Im not dismissing our chances in a negative way either. We definitely are a very good side and can make Europe. I just hope there isn’t massive expectations on Howe given the transfer window for us and our probable rivals.

Out of teams you would expect us to compete with for Europe ? I’d say Man Utd, Chelsea (question marks over their manager), Spurs, Brighton and West Ham have. I’m not overly impressed with what Villa have done, but Emery is a top tier manager imo and they will be challenging again.

Yeah I’m not saying we won’t get it, we are certainly capable. But I still maintain everyone around us have strengthened quite significantly. We haven’t, and standing still in this league is as good as going backwards. (Still time of course for that too change).

He did, but as it stands I think that be harder than ever to do. I don’t think there should be huge expectations of Europe as it stands.

Because 70 million is the limit ? (Added with Hall and Osuala it’s over 100 million spend).

The amount they spend they should anyways. Our aim this season should be top 7 imo.

Aye, despite the mental way they do business, they have some squad.

Twice at most ? Brentford and Spurs at home last season ?

Aye probably a bit unfair from me tbh. I just think back to Anderson last pre season, couldn’t stop scoring, then back to his normal self when the season kicked off.

They play tonight, he will have already had a press conference surely ?

Pre season form is completely irrelevant mind.

Aye, it’s not exactly new or surprising.

Personally don’t think Eddie will be annoyed at all If we only get Guehi in. I reckon he’s is Howes top target and he will know the financial position.

Don’t get me started on him.

Doesn’t seem to confirm it at al tbh

Wasn’t he apparently a top target for Palace to replace Guehi?

He wouldn’t as he isn’t the one responsible for signing players is he ?

I’m pretty sure someone on here mentioned that Howe said in his presser it’s unlikely Fraser goes.

Wonder if they cup tie him tonight.

Be quite funny if he turned us down tbf

Nixon does seem to have decent links to Palace fwiw.

That won’t matter if we do manage to get in our top targets (not that I think we will at this stage).

Aye, although Liverpool seemingly have Hincapie as their number one target.
