Toon No9

LB must be a priority now. Who except Digne and Tagliafico has we been linked too? Anyone heard someting?

Has been traveling for at least 3 hours now. How far is it from Burnley to Newcastle? Do we have anyone waiting outside the training ground?

Maybe we're doing what AC Milan did in the 90s? Weakening the rivals by buying their best players and put them on the bench.? Wood, Cantwell...

Many players linked now. Would really love to see Darwin Nunez here. Others that seems exciting: Gleison Bremer Steven Bergwijn (on loan) Seko Fofana Still hoping for Sven Botman. Seems a no-go but maybe a new improved bid later in the window?

Nunez for me.

I see we're linked to David Neres from Ajax. Maybe time to put in a package deal for him and Tagliafico?

Yeah, and I'd put young Stephenson on the bench. Could be worth putting him on for the last 20 minutes when Gayle gets tired.

Arthur Cabral of Basel would be a good signing for us right now.

We don't even give our own bairns a chance. Would be more excited to see Anderson, Stephenson or White get a chance in our team.

£30M for a kid that's not even played 30 senior matches? Who sets theese prices??‍♂️ Never heard if him.

Why do we bother putting in bids for players when their clubs doesn't want to sell? Don't we check this before we put bids in? We must get players in NOW!

Ok, we'll palm down for a while.

I Wood be pine with that!

Darwin Nunez on the bench for Benfica tonight. Would be a guaranteed starter in our team.

...by us for sure!

Have we gone from Batigol, Alvarez and the likes to... ...to Wood????

Are we even close to sign a striker? Not much time to get players in for the Watford game.

No sandwich on the lip yesterday.

The old offside rule was much more easy for everyone to understand. When a player from the attacking team was behind the last outfield player of the defending team when the ball is hit is offside. Easy as that, no ifs or buts. Why make the rules more complicated than they need to be? Only modern change of rule I can think of that has made a difference for the good of football is that a keeper is not alowed to take the ball with his hands when pass comes from his teammate.

I've never got my head around it. Why wait untill the transfer window opens before putting bids in? Why not do it before so the players can sign the day it opens up?

This is what's worrying me. Most of the players know that either we survive or go down most of them will be replaced in the summer. That may not make them work as hard as we need to stay up. Need to get the spine of the team in place now in january. Hopefully the game tonight will work as a motivator to the players for the upcoming games.

IF that's the rule, Schars goal must stand aswell. Their keeper touches the ball before it reaches Schar and should be allowed. It's the same scenario. Is there anyone in the world of football who knows the rules for offside or handball theese days? Seems to change every season and I'm not sure the referees really knows what's right anymore. Not to mention VAR, who seems like the biggest lottery of them all. There are no guidelines or rules for what's a penalty, what's a foul or how handball or offside works out. Different takings of the same situations all the time.

Can't be doing this one signing at the time. Need to work on several deals at the same time. There are many players we need to get signed to turn this around.

I'd make 10 players for the starting eleven an absolute priority now. Just keep Trippier.

Would be such an upgrade on Longstaff!
