Well I don’t know the details of what that actually means, but we’ll see. Doesn’t seem to be a mad rush to start building anything.

Why would those two things connect?

Really hope he can get properly fit for the start of next season. Put the proper midfield behind him and maybe a new RW and we could have one of the most dangerous front sixes around.

It is pencilled in for other uses, aye. But I guess money may be able to change that?

Depending on where you draw the boundary I think the arena site is about 3+ times the size of SJP.

Speak for yourself.

There was no need to be at Newcastle if you were a good player at that time. Everyone was just here either because it was above their level or they wanted a move somewhere else.

He’s breaking his gardening leave if he’s making any decisions right now.

Crystal Palace store is much, much better than ours. They even have one in Bromley shopping centre. Spurs is like comparing Apple store to Home Bargains (or Sports Direct).

Everyone at school had bed sheets, posters, loads of kit, bags, stationary, all sorts of stuff.

It's genuinely depressing when you think about all the class stuff we used to sell, and what other clubs do. Compare to American sports and it's more ridiculous still.

We have a club store?

I don't know why journos just keep writing stories about us buying rejects and injured players from other PL clubs. It's a weird vibe.

I liked it, did think they made too many assumptions about where atmosphere comes from and who creates it. But it was a good chat.

We can't sign a starting centre forward really, we need to go all-in on maximising Isak. Or course if someone is prepared to share the job, no worries.

Will be immense to see the big man sign a new deal, cannae wait.

Nobody with a bad fitness record should be considered IMO.

Happy to be correct about at least one signing

A hover stand.

Is the arena site already allocated for something else? Seems almost a no-brainer if that land was easily available.

I was a sceptic way back because I thought we only signed him because we didn’t have any other phone numbers. Which might be true TBH. But he’s really benefitted from Howe and looks the absolute real deal now. He’s quite unusual for a CM but he’s obviously very important to us now.

Is it?

Don't think anyone doubts that. It's just too small now.

No doubt moving at all has some negatives, but if we move the arena site seems the only good option. Really the key thing is the amount of capacity that could be realistically added to SJP.

Hmm, maybe you're right, I think of them both as similar locations TBH. Anyway, the point is really that it's a great location for a PL ground, right beside the centre of town. Not as amazing as SJP of course, but acceptable and better than any other realistic site.
