That’s a lot of pressure on all the key decision makers, if he struggles to adapt or if he becomes just an average PL CB questions will be asked about the price tag and the knock on effect to the wider budget. Personally I would have walked away at £50m + £5m. Proof will be in the pudding I suppose.

I bought the authentic home shirt and the fan third - both XL, in fairness I'm probably between the sizes but the L authentic shirt was quite tight fitting.

Yeah, he may be worth £50m and I wasn’t averse to just paying the extra £5m ‘just to get it done’. Now I’d say £50m take it or leave it and start looking at other players.

£50m is plenty for this lad. Move on now.

I’d like Guehi but he’s very expensive, I wouldn’t give it a second thought if he went to Liverpool, especially for £70m +.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the hold up was around agent fees.

What we've done so far just amounts to housekeeping.

Surely some PSR sleight of hand. Doesn’t stink as much as flogging a hotel or our own woman’s team to ourselves.

Bin into the Twatter/Gash buzz thread.

If Southgate played a Brazil, Argentina, France, Spain etc. in last 16 or QF he’d be out, he’s done exactly what other managers have done but with incredibly fortuitous draws.

Yes, I think he’ll have a breakout season like Gordon and this time next year will be talked of like Bruno, Isak etc as one of ‘untouchables’.

This kid is already a great player but I think he’s got one of the highest ceilings of any of the squad.

She probably thought of herself as a Liverpool ‘fan’ until she came to SJP and found true love. Yes she’s a businesswoman but it’s obvious she was totally smitten with the club and is now a fan for life.

Why would they though? He’s part of the fabric of the club. It’s like us receiving an offer for Gordon at £65m, he’s worth much more to them and they’d then need to replace him.

The Bowen transfer is one of those that doesn’t seem to make sense for either a buyer or the selling club. I’d really hope we’re not going to drop £60m + on him. He’s probably worth more to West Ham so they’d want a huge fee.

The New Era caps and bobbles are back in stock on the club site. Including the natty ‘NUFC’ badged one.

Hernandez is excellent, Onana looks terrible.

Have the PL introduced a new anti-NUFC rule that states we can only buy DCL when shopping for strikers?

I wonder if Howe considers Hall a possibility in that left midfield slot.

This looks like manufactured bullshit but I’ve got a bad feeling about it. How much would the club want? Surely it would be north of £80m? Another player who is priceless for us in my opinion.

This reminds me of selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool. In the morning I laughed it off, by lunchtime I was getting more concerned. Feels like that lunchtime again….

So next season we are lining up: Barnes DCL Elanga So grateful PSR is preventing us from becoming another Portsmouth.

What’s happening with Lewis Hall? Have we officially signed him? Is his transfer part of this PSR period or the next one?

I’d let Barnes go before Minteh.

Hard to reconcile being wedged and owned by PIF with constantly being worried about losing our best players to the legacy ‘six’. I thought Barca/Real would be the only viable destinations when some of these players wanted to scratch a certain itch. Chelsea, Arsenal and the other ESL conspirators can get fucked.
