Pretty sure he’s not being linked anywhere recently.

Linked where ?

Basically saying we aren’t signing many without winning, but we aren’t winning without signings ?

Fwiw Chris Waugh said earlier we are after a couple of centre midfielders

I’d have taken 4 points against Watford and Leeds before the games, still would but can’t see us getting near these.

Our midfield and defence is bottom half championship as it stands (not including trippier who I assume will be off if we go down)

We would because this squad is bottom half championship

We can pretty much rule out any signing from a foreign league being in in time for Saturday now.

He literally can’t be worse than who we have now, how would transform our attack and take the pressure of ASM. Bring him in I say.

No argument to keep Lascelles in there for me, his performances have been a disgrace and has zero leadership qualities, drop him and make Trippier captain.

Not lascelles

I said in another thread, I would feel much more relaxed about relegation if we had or get the appointment of the CEO and Sporting director right. At least then we can plan for the future properly.

He’s not implying Carlos could be smokescreen for someone else.

He’s supposedly terrible at his job so would explain a few things.

The decision not to have a sporting director in place before this window really is costing us imo.

I would have moved on from the French market by now if I was them tbh.

Doesn’t make him a bad defender

How can you not be as good as you look ? If you look good when you play surely you are good ?

Getting more than a little concerning now, Leeds game is huge it’s going to be hard to get any foreign based signings in for that game if fees etc aren’t agreed by tomorrow.

Jury out on Lewis but the other 3 I agree depending on who the CDM would be

Huge test for Howe If this deal gets as he will have to decide who to drop. Schar or Lascelles, obviously should be Lascelles but will Howe have the balls to drop his captain ? I don’t think he will.
