He clearly didn’t want to come here, think he’d have chosen any London club over us. We absolutely must only sign players who want to be here and embrace Eddie and the club. It’s a huge disadvantage and it won’t change, certainly not in the short/ medium term. As for Chelsea; they’re just playing to a different set of rules to everyone else.

His injury record suggests that his hamstrings are pretty much fucked and you can’t play him in consecutive games without risking losing him for 2 or 3 months. Be interesting to see where he goes and what’s expected of him.

Feel like Trafford has been coming here since the Jan 24 transfer window. Looks like he actually wants to sign. Wonder if he gets the chance to wind the Mackems up again,

He’ll be a useful signing for someone; so long as goes as 2nd or 3rd choice. If Chelsea don’t fancy him might stand a chance.

I’d hate to see us paying 55M+ for Elanga after Forest have already taken the piss once.

Chelsea reportedly agreed a fee for Gittens.

We need a new strategy of going in early for players we don’t want in the hope Chelsea buy them all; leaving us to then lose out to another club for our main targets.

Would be a really good signing and perhaps a sign of future planning. Isak won’t be here forever; same applies to other positions.

45M plus they can have the Greek lad back; he’s 20M right there.

So we’d be getting Elanga plus cash?

Yeah, I can see a situation where he stays at Palace, gets to play in Europe with them and then fucks off to Liverpool for nowt. Parish may well want to cash in now but Guehi holds the better cards, there’s no rush for Liverpool to buy him now.

I’ll have mentioned this before; I played Centre Forward for a Sunday League side from Houghton Le Spring. The “manager” was the Commercial Manager for NUFC, our strips were the previous season 1st team strips and we played a couple of games at Benwell. I scored a hat trick on my debut at Benwell in Micky Quinn’s no 9 strip but the hi-light of the game was when we all stood still and watched a player on the pitch next to us effortlessly dribble past 5 or 6 players. It was Lee Clark, as said, if he’d had a turn of foot (and a little bigger) he had the potential to be really top level.

Last I heard the girlfriend he has/ had is fucking minted. I doubt this will affect him unless that’s gone tits up.

Transfer Window beginning to feel like a NFL Draft except the best teams, with the help of PSR, get to make several first picks. We feel very much waiting in the wings hoping there are still some of our targets available.

There’s not a cat in Hell’s chance he chooses us over Chelsea/ London. Location will always hold us back once a player has a choice. He’d likely get more game time at Chelsea as well.
