Forget Angel Gomes - the best free transfer for us is Tom Bischof from Hoffenheim - literally the Howe prototype

Then on top of that you need to build a skeleton squad - CB, LB, CM, CF effectively replacing Lascelles - Targett - Longstaff - Wilson with better quality See how Alex Murphy gets on - could be added to 25/26 Summer 25 is the rebuild summer - no pissing about this time

How are Juve going to sign all these players? Kolo Muani - Conceicao - Nico Gonzalez - L Kelly - R Veiga - Di Gregorio Think they are all on loan If they want to send D Luiz our way they are more than welcome

What really gets to me is that there was ZERO effort and application from the players - can’t recall an occasion I have said this under Howe - if it’s a bad day at the office, fine, it happens - but yesterday they didn’t even try - all XI - that’s what hurts me the most

“We looked fatigued today, not our usual selves, very difficult to explain right now , we’ll have to go back and analyse it”

Our lot just walking around - no fight, nothing Have some self pride at least

Where’s the fight? You bunch of soft bastards

3 of the most softest goals ever Our lads have had a 9 day test from when we played Arsenal

Best way is to make it an unstructured game - make them run - man mark - then use our pace and power to hurt them

Shilton was about 80 at the time Remember the Brehme free kick for 1-0 - he was like treading in treacle

Should have set him up with 5 a side nets to make it fair

They may for once have found some balance - a real threat this year

Suprised this is still a story in Feb - happened Last Christmas

Ayoze in a modern NUFC under Howe would be brilliant

I just think with Longstaff the ceiling has already been reached - great servant, great bloke - sometimes a change can benefit, plus he’s at a stage where he should be playing week in week out for someone CM is an area I highlighted that we need someone to supplement the quality of Tonali and Bruno

In fairness we tend to look a bit hit and miss every time we seem to heavily rotate - maybe that’s down to a lack of quality in the latter part of the squad which needs bulking over the summer with a few going out

I wouldn’t mind KWP but i’d be looking to find a proper LB (young) to compete with Hall) - Kerkez cost 12m - there’s players out there

About time they bought a young 9 - with a potential upside - can’t think of the last one they had…? If you want to count Ante Rebic … I know they have Abraham but he seems to have lost that zip at the moment post ACL

So there wouldn’t be any sort of fair market calculations done, as say Spurs get the same amount… this only implies to APT?

Can I ask a silly question Say Bournemouth are looking for a front of shirt deal and a billionaire Spanish investor wants his biscuit company to be the sponsor - offers Bournemouth £40m a year - has zero connections to the club - would the PL approve it?

Same with Leicester and Kingfisher Man City grounds sponsored by their own UAE companies

What about the iconic superstar Mark Noble - so good they named the academy after him

Supposed to be a decent talent Hackney

That is sensational - fair play the Burnley social media team

Kerkez - Huijsen - Zabanyi were all known - Bournemouth jumped in ahead of the rest, probably because those top 6 were shopping in a higher market
