Yeah I know, but I mean in terms of the squad. Whether he's fit for at the moment of the signing probably isn't a big factor. Anyway, we don't need to debate this again, sorry.

I guess one can be your main occupation and the other can’t.

I’m sure Osula was intended to take some of the load off Isak and Wilson, never to regularly start games for us. I agreed with the strategy but of course the other two then get injured.

Same issue or something different?

That's amazing.

I’d be a bit disappointed if we let Brighton score 2.

Once I worked out those negatives I realised you were right.

He might be if he keeps this up for longer, dunno. Even then, how many £100m transfers have their actually been? Not that the number is actually important like, sorry

Not many players end up worth £100m

He has real quality, seemed a bit hesitant with the defensive side but he's so young still. I'm hoping we don't decide to sell him until he's had a chance to play some more minutes for us. We play 3 CMs so we need a good group of 5 or 6. Would be sadder to sell him than when we sold Anderson IMO.

I'm not sure, possibly a quick call and found out it was impossible. Poaching a manager from a PL club mid-season is just not going to happen, even without considering the specifics of Howe himself.

They couldn't have got Howe anyway IMO, so he wasn't a factor in the decision.

Don’t think he’ll win the premier league.

There's always going to be lots of fluidity between the nations of the UK like, it's going to be very common that someone qualifies for more than one.

I wouldn't be against a rule that international managers have to qualify for their country TBH, I can see why some people want it. But since there is no such rule we should go with whatever manger we want.

We've already been strongly linked IIRC. I can't see us signing an 18 year-old and starting him every week guaranteed mind.

And he doesn’t want the job.

Will be interesting to see what happens when him and Longstaff are both available from the bench.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's considered our best player fairly soon, such a great signing.

We haven't really played well this season, and then he's been injured.

Isak to Ferguson would be absolutely criminal.

That's what makes me think it was never going to Carsley, or he never wanted it. Otherwise it's a sudden and dramatic change of strategy.

Aye, insurance would be prohibitive to protect these feet.

I thought it was going to be violence.

Try following rugby or cricket where everyone just plays for who they fancy.
