I can believe that last part for sure. Bet he's a lefty.

Some mad posts today

This is my feeling with him and Wood. Apart from numbers there is no difference between having them and not having them.

FWIW it’s possible we’re a bit surprised that we’ve managed to get Shelvey out so easily.

Yeah of course, it’s always better to have more players than less. But I mean, that’s just a truism you can say in any situation. It just feels like everything is in great hands. Giving out scores like 5/10 seems a bit silly to me. Makes for good debate though.

Bruno getting injured is a disaster no matter who we sign. No matter if we have Shelvey or we don’t. What I’m focused on is steps in the right direction, making good moves and getting the average players out. Which they clearly are doing as fast as they’re able.

5 out of 10 for a window where we’ve shipped out two passengers and brought in 2 really promising young players seems incredibly harsh to me, have to say

Has to happen

Prong.

Agree, I want a midfielder in but they'll obviously only do it for the right person. Maybe they were slightly surprised that Forest wanted Shelvey, TBF.

Think so, yep.

Sounds like you're absolutely going hard these days

People are probably right that Bernardo will want to go to Barca, like everyone seems to want. But Barca on Tyne would be better for him IMO.

I guess players don't want to go there either.

I think bringing in so much proven PL quality, with experience working for Pep, would be a bigger statement. Perfect for what we need and perfect for our system. As people have said, I guess he will want Spain so not worth debating too much.

Expect the same team as well, hope to overwhelm them in the normal way and take a chance this time. Then still have two very dangerous attackers for later in the match. Would be happy either way mind, but I think the fact we are dominating most games is the deciding factor for the manager.

We really should make Bernado Silva our first really iconic signing.

As Rodney says, more likely they will defend quite deep for the first half (at least) so they don't allow us to end the tie.

I dunno, I mean technically we would have one fewer CM. But practically I don’t think it makes any difference to our chances. Still hope we get a CM in of course. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot more 4-2-3-1 with Gordon or even Isak behind the main striker.

I don’t see how we can possibly be weaker. We got rid of Wood who is shite and Shelvey who never plays and is poor when he does.

Extremely harsh.

Don’t be silly.

Course it does. We’ve identified a young player who we think is undervalued and fits our profile. We haven’t just gone to West Ham and asked for any RBs they had knocking around

Thought it was nice that he was open about his struggles in the past as well. One of the few insights that interviewer has ever got.

Brilliant interview, seems such a hard working and genuine lad. I basically want to be friends with all our players Gordon and Ashby have got quite an experience coming up tonight. Let’s get it.
