I think Bruno would have flopped under Bruce for sure. No training, no plan for what he would do, no way to link up with Miggy and Trippier.

I think it’s fair to sell someone if they’ve been a great servant and are clearly way too good for the league you’re in. And you can get a decent fee in. Of course you don’t literally have to.

To force someone who’s played for you a decent time, been class, helped the club as much as possible to stay and play in the championship because you agreed a sell-on clause to his previous club? Assuming he wants to leave.

Would be incredibly spiteful that

Same, kick up a massive stink.

Will be on Globo and SporTV in Brazil I would think. The last one was.

Have to be looking at a deal like Enzo to Chelsea as a similar situation, I suppose. Obviously Chelsea are deranged, but if I was West Ham I would be mentioning it.

Hard one. We were never disappointed with Targett but Howe kept him out very happily, so it will be very interesting to see what type of LB he wants.

Think the complete package is about £60m.

I'm not saying Robinson has been amazing but he's been a functioning player in a successful team. Lewis has been a complete flop from beginning to end.

Or better fit. But obviously if Howe signs him he has a plan, I just don't know enough to say how he would be used.

You might not rate Robinson that highly, but he's in another stratosphere to Lewis. He started almost every game for Fulham who had a very good season (I think).

Yeah, the players are mostly saleable and good players, Chelsea would just normally have to take a much bigger hit to get them out the door.

I think if we've made Burn into a decent left back we could potentially make a very good one out of Robinson. Of course everyone prefers elite signings, but I guess it depends on the priorities.

I don’t think Southgate will ever use Maddison as a key player. For similar reasons that I’m not sure what plan Howe has for him.

Think it’s more that the journos only know the names of the same 4 midfielders.

Really is outrageous how badly they’ve spent that money Guess it’s as much to do with the lack of plan and structure as the players themselves.

Like him less the more I watch him, but he does have all the attributes.

Didn’t really notice him against Malta, didn’t play against North Macedonia.

Obviously I’m not buying them. But I think we can all agree that fans should know which is the official kit when the kit goes on sale.

Who’s Rob Dorsett?

Definitely, it's absolutely crazy. We didn't even know which socks to buy FFS, farcical.

Yeah, but there's also the option to sign players at the same level of the ones we have, or even backup. Guess it'll be a combination of both.

Yeah for sure, everything about this summer is hard to predict IMO. We obviously need more quality but we also need more depth, so many options of what to do. I struggle to picture Maddison and how he would work for us, but I'm sure Eddie has a plan.
