I think most teams would want an in-form Joelinton . His issue right now is consistency and fitness. When inform hes a beast.

It is unusual to not have any communication with your boss in ten days.

any idea what song he will be singing for the fans?

Solanke maybe?

I do think he could have worded it in a less harsh way. Just had to say: - We need to improve our transfer strategy and scouting networks, while there is less risk shopping in England or the PL the prices quoted can not work for us in our PSR situation. - Eddie is a fantatic manager and we are working together to improve the transfer strategy and quality of the squad. - Yes, we would like to have done better in the window. It was difficult with alot of change in a short period of time. We now have time to reset, review and improve. Done.

Tiote scored another 30 yard screamer against Man City, that was disallowed for someone being offside in the keepers eye line. I

As romantic as it is to stay at St. James. The practicality of moving to a new stadium is far more obvious. You dont lose attendance revenue or have to share a ground with a rival while the rebuild/renovation is taking place. I would also imagine it will be cheaper without trying to work around the current engineering restrictions.

We created the better chances as well. But yeh I would like us to be able to control the game in possession a lot better than yesterday.

I dont think Tonali starts. Longstaff had one of his better games yesterday.

Our inability to keep the ball is atrocious.

Longstaff has been much better than Joelinton today.

Joel Matip?

I think the close call on the PSR breach maybe helped make the decision for them. With Eales claiming he had no control over it.

As much as Amanda and Mehrdad were fantastic, it was also them that lead us into the frantic PSR sales at the end of June that almost led us to either losing key players or a points deduction. Eales and Mitchell have also lead poorly since they left.

If Eddie is being stubborn and rejecting cheaper targets from foreign leagues, he is playing a dangerous game. Mitchell has been brought in to find better value in the transfer market, not to splash record fees on PL players. I will imagine Mitchell, Eales and PIF will act quickly should there be a run of poor results. They will want a manager that aligns with their recruitment strategy.

Sounds like Jamie Miley is top of the pile for currently fit young CM’s?

I don’t think the media team would have any insight into who is leaving and where negotiations are at.

Debuchy and Janmaat. Love a right back.

I hope Tonali can control the game from midfield, because if Bruno misses any games we are going to struggle big time.

Where is Jacob Miley. Get him on for Longstaff.

Harrison and Sanusi look really promising.

It depends on their form. Current Tino looks rusty and clumsy. December Trippier was awful. But I agree we are best keeping Tripps.

Tino looked a bit off again in the first half

Longstaff is also so poor.

No chance. 80,000-100,000
