Was it Richard Hughes? The Liverpool guy?

Good. Let the genius rest and recover.

Mitchell's CV wasn't all that IMO. Respectable but nothing more. Son, Mane and Van Dijk were already well known, and we had been in for Dele Alli at the same time as Spurs. He jumped from role to role without really doing any stint for more than a couple of years if I'm not wrong? It's ridiculous to say this also, but even visually didn't fit the overall picture being the scruffy chubster that he is :))

Best manager we've had in my lifetime. King Kev and SBR will always be up there of course. But Eddie Howe has surpassed all expectations and has given us what we've craved for a long long time.

Champions League and a Trophy! The stuff of dreams!

How are their injuries looking? Konsa suspended is good.

Absolute baller this kid. What a fantastic coup!

Never been this excited about a transfer window in all my years on these forums. Joined the previous version in 2003 when HTT was still writing mega tl;dr posts. Bruno Guimaraes man wtf. Hope we bring in at least 3 after Dan Burn. We deserve this!

Excellent win! I wish Wood had connected with ASM's knockdown for an easier end to the match. The passing phase in the last few minutes was excellent. Once we reduce the stupid mistakes we'll be a much sturdier outfit. Break now and a few more signings and hopefully smash Everton.

Yup. Because he's not a LB. Not any more. CB or nothing for us IMO.

Manquillo wow what a "cameo" in that second half. Total shut down of Leeds' right side. Superb!

Know nothing about this lad. Is he basically a BTEC Sterling?

I hope we sign him as looks like a freakishly good prospect for his age.

No issues at all with this signing. A player of his type was needed in our arsenal even before Wilson's injury. The only issue I have is that I'm slightly suspicious of Burnley agreeing to the move (some are reporting his clause is for summer window), in case he has an injury or a physical problem somewhere. Hopefully our medical team is qualified enough to spot anything untoward.

I agree, but he's a massive asset, and Howe as the manager needs to find a way to get the best out of him. Whether it's by giving him a free role, or bringing him on as a first sub etc. A lot will depend on the players we bring in this window too. If we bring another skilful demon then we'd at least have balance on both sides, and not everything would have to go through him. He's a rotten egg at the moment and Howe is paid to get the best out of him or sell.
