Barnes has been slated by Leicester fans for being lazy so not sure he naturally buys into the way Howe wants to play I'd be gutted if Maxi goes but there seems to be a lot of noise about it I do feel it's almost inevitable

ASM created a good chance, Longstaff should have scored

Centre back, think he's 21, got him from Liverpool a few years ago

Heavens have absolutely opened up here, will the Gateshead pitch be able to cope?

But they will remain classy by saying they now don't want him back, even though he clearly doesn't give a shite about them and he cares far more about money than the Mackem vaux outrage

They had convinced themselves he'd come back and have a stint at the end of their career but turns out he just isn't classy enough

Fabrizio reckons it's €30m + €30m in add ons (which includes Ballon D'Or)

Get in, deserved

Gonna get a pen aren't they

Madueke has looked really good since coming on

I think on the captaincy it's safe to say Howe has nailed it Taking it away from Lascelles whilst he's here is unnecessary, credit to Lascelles for how he's behaved during this season and Trippier too, who has recognised Lascelles as club captain If Lascelles leaves then obviously Trippier will officially get the captaincy but there's no need to do that yet

The signing only really makes sense if we are expecting ASM to leave In terms of goals Barnes is an upgrade but ASM is clear in other aspects

His lass seemed really impressed by the canteen, the one at Milan must be a mess

Tbf him allegedly being a massive racist didn't help

On the actual video the legit top is on the right but on the thumbnail it's on the left (as the legit one doesn't have the CL badge)

Get in, what a signing £55m for him is a cracking price too

You do know he isn't really an Ipswich fan, it's not even subtle but they lap it up like rabid dogs

Not elite yet but Cherki would be some signing

Some people really do struggle with rejection (or apparent rejection) Maddison is a quality player that would have been a good signing for us, I've no doubt he could have adapted to us and been an asset That said I'm not overly bothered, simply because there are lots of good footballers out there and I trust the club to sign good players

Those assists numbers look made up, think it was about half that for Robert

When people talk about moving to Leazes Park I think they really mean Castle Leazes and a moder version of the plans the club had in the 90's

Quite obvious if we do have a quiet week or two with little movement he'll claim it as a victory but then if we sign someone he'll spin it as "an unexpected opportunity presented itself during the reflect phase"

Nice to see he got an assist but the defending/keeping was not great

I suspect if they get him then that will be Laporte moving on

That's not true, see the example below from the swiss ramble, this was about Umtiti and his contract extentions, same would apply if we can extend some of our higher purchases Obviously whilst the amount is lower it does then push it on to further years
