As I’ve said before, I think those changes were intended to happen this season, just every signing failed. It’s not that Howe loves Murphy, it’s that Elanga has failed. It’s not that Howe loves Burn (although I’m sure he does) it’s that Botman has been perma crocked.

More years or the same years last summer set us back?

Stars are just what journalists call footballers I think.

Classic

Shame we conceded those late goals in all those other games

I never wanted to sell Gordon but doesn’t it seem like it’s a done deal he’s gone now? Leaking all the Bayern stuff and then getting left out to the squad? Seems like the end.

Loads of clubs in the area TBF.

Or maybe the more optimistic view is right and we should keep him because Howe out is overly emotional after defeats. I like this game.

Never forget John Barnes was our top scorer.

You could argue that Tonali is more defensive than a lot of the people who get mentioned. He certainly breaks up many opposition attacks even though he doesn't sit in the centre.

You've lost me.

I've actually been to a Whitby game, on the top of the coastal cliff right? Went when I stayed in a hotel near there. Bleak if the weather's bad

I didn't hate him before but I will if he's downed tools now.

Certainly feels like a shift in the kind of people we're being linked with. Still wouldn't be against a big purple, obviously.

I guess, but last year it was more like massive names than sneaky foreign youngsters.

I find the chicken really funny for some reason, can't explain

I'm not one for transfer rumours really but some of the links so far are pretty juicy.

Everyone wants a team that wins and always did. The point of that slogan was to remember how horrific our club was and to not become entitled.

4231, Wolte behind Osula with Bruno and Tonali pivot. Have to keep playing Elanga RW to hope he clicks, maybe even Ramsey on the LW as more of a balanced style wide player who comes inside. Hall overlapping.

Come on, you don't really think he's not trying.

I'm pretty sure we already have a new recruitment process in place, that's the point of WiIson.

I firmly believe he just struggled with the move and his confidence is shot. He's still pretty young. Shame we have a summer of World Cup but it would good to get him with a sports psychologist regularly for a couple of months.

Tonali was working really hard against Bournemouth mind.

I remember ASM missing out on about 10 assists as Longstaff and Willock blazed many chances over the bar.

O'Reilly was class against Arsenal, always thought Hall was clearly ahead but there's not much in it.
