Damnit Come on Nottingham!

By the looks of it, it seems like there is a lot of potential for Europe even if we don't sign anyone else.

Everton has not lost their first 3 matches of a season since 1990 apparently. Here's hoping.

Notting score

Gibbs-White shitting all over what Jlingz has done over 2.5 matches in the space of 14 minutes.

Iwobi is so so so bad. Somehow Tom Davies is even worse. How are Allan and Onana sitting on that bench ahead of those two?

Did you see our last game against Burnley?

Don't get the Wolves hype. 6 off 130cm tall Portugese guys with little attacking threat but decent passing. Their defence isn't really impressive either. See they got the whopper from Burnley who handled the ball last time we played them too.

Sanches is no Romero. Big miss for Tottenham.

Pretty sure I've worked with a couple of people like that. Always does everything to the letter of the procedure, has no charisma but still tries to inspire people with no conviction using something read from a self help book, always wants (or forces themselves) to talk to as many people as possible but rarely have anything interesting to talk about. Hate them.

Has to be Casemiro behind Bruno and Eriksen. Surely?

Bruno just another Jermaine Jens I can taste the salt through my monitor.

Worth to point out that even if we put in a bid, and got told no we won't take anything less than X amount, if we went straight back and offered the minimum asked the likelihood of the selling club accepting said offer is very low, especially if the selling club is in no urgent need of selling. They aren't bound to accept anything unless they give us a formal counter-offer.

Even at £50m it is still an insane price to pay for a player of his age, especially considering his alleged drop in form in the league last season. You could be stuck with an unmotivated old player on insane wages for the next 5 years who will not want to leave once considered past it by whomever is in charge at Man Utd at the time.

This is what sounds logical to me as well, and if Wilson becomes unavailable due to injuries Howe can move Pedro in centrally and play Almiron at RW.

Or nicked them from Brazil and Italy on ISS2

This is pure speculation on my end (or wishful thinking?), but I get the impression that Bruno came here to create something special, his own legacy, and he doesn't want to come to a fully set table. Even if offered the chance to join Real Madrid, I don't think he would do it as long as he believes in the vision of this club.

Depends how far back in their career you look in some cases. Haaland before getting his move to Molde in the top league in Norway played 16 games for Bryne in the second division, and scored 0 goals. First season in Molde (who if I remember correctly was the best team in Norway at the time) he only managed 2 goals in 14 games. In his last season at Molde he scored 12 in 25. Althought that isn't bad, it's not exactly prolific considering the team he was playing for and the quality of the league and what he went on to do after. Salzburg saw the obvious potential in him and took a chance by spending a sizable amount (relative for them) of money on him. It wasn't really until he got his move abroad that people were seriously starting to consider him one of the most exciting striker talents in the world. Just for clarity, I'm not saying Pedro has the potential to become as good as Haaland

Nah, price drops back to £30m without.

This thread will be a hoot the next 20 pages of doom and agony.

There's great value in picking up players from relegated clubs. We already got one this season in Pope and I don't think anyone can look back at the last two matches and say they are sceptical of him? How will talents ever get the chance if we keep signing ready-made first team players? Besides, we aren't in a position to get a full team of Bruno's. We need to take a chance on potential and hope they develop/mature with us as we progress.
