GeordieDazzler

He’s got a great CV, the fact he’s previously worked with Ashworth is just a bonus. They are a fan of extensive references so can’t of hurt.

I assume you mean Exile rather than myself

hmmm, the Athletic didn’t have a 17 paragraph profile of him ready to publish. I think they were just as surprised as we were.

They can sign but not register these players until they sell De Jong (or other similarly priced asset)? Wonder in a few years if they’ll be forced to sell Pedi/Gavi etc just to keep the show on the road

Literally the top story on their website

Jay Spearing just signed for Liverpool didn’t he?

Yep I don’t think that resale is a priority more than not giving players who are seen as transitional purchased long deals. Wood is only 2 years isn’t he?

Wonder if we’d do a similar contract to Trippier (2.5 years) if it allows us to buy a decent RW I’m all for it. Wilson is clearly seen as first choice so it’s unlikely you’d blow the budget to get him back up.

This is not the greatest Newcastle United photo in the world, this is just a tribute.

They’ve only actually signed two players. Both excellent but will it be enough? There seems to be lots of rumours but actual deals they’ve not done loads.

Hopefully a lot of albatross contracts being handed out at Chelsea. Really hope it all goes wrong.

That race track looked absolutely mint like

He’s such a dullard

He was one of the other teenagers who scored more than 10 in the top five leagues along with Ekitike

I mean it’s a decent move but they are slowly becoming the Danish version of wolves

Meh

pretty amazing business from BVB, hope they finally topple Bayern this year.

Milan doing their thing again Leeds Utd have made a bid of €35m for Charles De Ketelaere, which was accepted by Club Brugge. De Ketelaere however, adamantly refuses Leeds. He wants to go to Milan but acknowledges the fact that the bid of Milan must be over €30m. [Tomas Taecke - HLN]

We may just have to grin and bare it unfortunately. Teams know we need rid and also know that they can’t afford their wages.

Poch is in a bit of a catch 22. He does his best work with young squads who he can coach and can mould them to play his style. Defending from the front with intensity. But his time at PSG has likely made him too expensive for a team that could give him that.

He’s wanting to leave for CL football so that rules is out. Also would be monumentally stupid idea for us in almost every single way.

Not seen a lot of him but not a particularly great goal record in Scotland. Is his link play really good?

Gabriel Barbosa linked again this morning
