True, which makes it more frustrating how we still haven’t managed any significant business.

If we have little to spend, it’s probably best not to blow it all on a CB surely ?

Doubt any of that happens other than we may get a CB.

It’s not a bad deal, but if we are spending money on another position and not strengthening RW it’s a little frustrating.

He wasn’t helped by Howe yesterday starting him up front in a 442 in fairness.

Add those two to the majority of prem teams and it would be their weakest position. Both are that poor imo.

Another hindsight question then, if we fail to bring in a RW, would people have preferred to have cashed in on Gordon or Bruno so we could refresh the squad?

5/10 at a push

Just waiting for the weekly Waugh update.

That Rowe from Norwich would have been worth a punt. Gone to Marseille for 13 million

Aye but we looked brilliant in the first game against Forest.

Chelsea in for Sancho, opens the door to Madueke again ?

He’s the least of our problems imo.

Where we pulling the money from ?

Don’t put it past Waugh to continue to mention them.

You obviously haven’t read Waugh’s weekly update

Makes the decision to seemingly use all the money on a CB all the more strange imo.

Willock won’t imo

Definitely understand that view, but with the way Howe wants us to play I think Joelinton is a must.

Passing a ball 5 yards to a teammate would be an improvement on Longstaff.

Joelinton has to play surely for our style of play?

The non red card for Joelinton made no difference to the result.

I mentioned it during the match, just feels everything has stagnated a bit at the club. It’s been a really poor summer in terms of recruitment so far. Add to that Howes comments earlier in the summer about England and Mitchell coming in. Genuinely think a couple of top class signings gives everyone a lift again. Whether or not we get them remains to be seen.

Looked like he was playing upfront in a 442
