Feels like Kompany can't buy anyone without a Belgium or Man city link

Scamacca joining Atalanta for £26mil Pretty huge flop for West Ham

Think we might see Gordon as the emergency 3rd choice striker

Don't know if you saw any of Villarreal vs Nice yesterday at SJP but Moffi looked really strong and powerful for Nice. You rate him? Guessing you've seen a bit of him

Just has a read of the match report of us playing Fiorentina 12 years ago today and some of the Pardewisms are fun looking back: Never forget how bad things were

When was the last time we went all the way through pre-season unbeaten?

Someone needs to tell the commentator that Sunderland don't have a man advantage because they're already down to 10 men

They were never going to get a player as good as Amad again in that division

Thought we played really well and agree Murphy played really well. Easy to forget how terrible that Sorloth is for them. Enjoyed the handbags in the Fiorentina-Nice game too. Desperate for the Fiorentina to get a job in the PL, he'd be absolutely box office

Karius not involved on the bench in either game

Same bench as yesterday

Manq must be off

Quite a few Ipswich fans outside SJP, presumably getting photos with the SBR statue before heading south

Also does anyone actually care about the Community Shield

A load of pundits tipping Ipswich for promotion this season. Their manager has done really well and has good pedigree but their squad doesn't seem that great so seems a bit premature Interested to see how they get on

Back in the Football League

His name suggests he's got some Italian blood

Definitely he looks to have real quality. He glided across the pitch similar to Eze at Palace but played a deeper role. Reminded me of Pogba when was good

Fiorentina's coach is a heart attack waiting to happen. Was absolutely raging the whole game with everything

Pretty enjoyable day. Thought Thuram really stood out for Nice in the first half Anderson was excellent for us

Harsh

He doesn't

Baffling how Ashley Fletcher keeps getting to play for clubs at a decent level

Just had a look at what our starting XI looked like first game after relegation. Maybe the years haven't been kind to some of these players but it doesn't look that great Sels; Janmaat, Hanley, Lascelles, Dummett; Anita, Hayden, Colback, Ritchie; Perez, Gayle

Understand the point but they were the 3rd best team in the League 1 against a team who have Premier League experience all over the pitch with a manager who dominates teams with possession Probably be their hardest home game of the season
