Tbh I prefer the brazenly evil version of Barca to the one that pretended to be angelic.

Maupay moving for mo pay.

I’d take Pulisic over the others. Any loan has to have an option to buy at an agreed price though, and no buyback option.

I have concerns, and no I’m not panicking or bedwetting, and no I don’t think it’s like Mike Ashley all over again. It won’t be the worst thing in the world if we fail to get a couple of attacking players, we can still finish 8th-10th, but I think there is an opportunity to finish top 6 this season and we will have missed it. The Maddison bid is still very strange to me, I don’t know if we’re playing a long game where we’ll bid again late in the window or in January. Surely they didn’t think they could get it done with the reported bids.

Something to look out for during monitoring phase.

Yeah, where can they possibly find a player that matches that description.

Who has done anything comparable to stamping on opponents heads?

There’s been a couple more incidents as well, but I can’t remember who was on the receiving end. He’s probably the dirtiest player in the league IMO.

He has a habit of stamping on opponents heads. It’s soured my view of him.

Mings is a horrible dirty player, his absence from football can only be a good thing IMO.

I'm not sure Almiron does anything better than Sarr, Fraser might be better in some areas but not overall. It would be an easy choice picking between the 3 for me.

That sort of talk didn't stop us bidding £40m for Maddison.

It's amazing that they still have this pull with all that's happening. I know Silva has wanted to join them for a long time, but to me leaving Man City for Barca right now is nuts.

It'll be so disappointing to not get a couple of attacking players, I think a top 6 place is up for grabs this season. I find it hard to believe we've walked away from the Maddison deal as well, if that was West Ham their owners would be accused of a fake bid.

Conceding 69% possession to a Bruce side is not good.

Sarr scores from his own half.

I'm sure I heard Neville say over the weekend that they've got about 60 scouts. It's either the easiest gig ever or the most frustrating.

Fred is absolutely hopeless.

It’s removed any doubt about whether they know what they’re doing at Forest. They’re fucked.

I bet Bruce and Pardew’s eyes lit up when they saw this news.

There’s an air of majesty around Declan Rice apparently.

We need to be reminded of how awful Man Utd have it, it'll put the cost of living crisis into perspective.

It would’ve been criminal if Brighton didn’t get the win. I wonder how much Man Utd need to slide before they stop getting favourable treatment.

That's madness. Not a fucking chance Man U wouldn't get that at the other end.
