The Prophet

"Atlanta United reached a verbal agreement with Newcastle to buy Miguel Almirón for US$ 12,000,000. The club is negotiating the final details of the player's contract, who is ready to travel and sign." Goodbye sweet prince.

70 points normally gets top four. So we probably need another 30, so 10 wins in 16. It’s a big ask, but with 5th also looking good for a CL spot we just need to keep plugging away.

Is it this summer that they do away with the current PSR rules?

After Southampton we're looking at Fulham (h), City (a), Forest (h), Liverpool (a). Stay in touch during that little run and we're laughing.

Clearly that's the only reason, it's not like he was a very solid defender at Bournemouth or anything.

No time to play Traitors this time?

I haven't seen you mention this too much of late, under the cosh at work?

I was referring to the transfer above.

Chelsea aren't doing anything outside of the rules are they?

He's played about 120 minutes this season, he's completely surplus. There's no reason to think this doesn't get done.

No debate there.

Is there any evidence that Howe is reluctant to sell players?

The problem with selling him is that Targett is surplus to requirements and Dan Burn is nearly 33. Naturally Kelly may want to leave for to play regularly.

I'm quite easy going with this one. We either get to retain a handy squad player or we get an unexpected PSR boost. Win-win really.

Both Gordon and Murphy looked gassed and provided no protection to their full back. Barnes injury and Miggy becoming surplus to requirements is less than ideal.

I'm pretty sure Howe isn't stood wagging his finger at outgoings like. There's usually been a sound reason behind the ones that haven't materialised.

The side is a couple of players away from being a very good one. With a cup semi final and an opportunity to qualify for the Champions League on the line, now would be the perfect time to kick on. PSR working exactly how it is intended to then...

Fair. Goes without saying we need to be on it, you get nothing for free in this league.

Valid points, but they have six points. "Can't quite make it happen" is a generous appraisal. If we're on it, which I'd be suprised if we're not, we should win comfortably.

Zarabyni has been the star CB for Bournemouth this season.

Spurs are probably better off going for someone stylistically similar to Ange, unless they're planning a massive rebuild.

He's a good player, who did very well at Bournemouth. Unfortunately, he's down the pecking order here and we need to consider offers for our squad players. At least the lads who buzz off writing players off won't be proven wrong on this occasion.

They're so, so bad.

It was so bad, with so many poor performances, I haven't read into it too much. We aren't a top team yet, but we're getting closer all the time so these things will happen. When they do you need to hope the opponent isn't on it either, unfortunately Bournemouth were.
