Looked 'decent' in an absolute shit show of a team with an absolute shit show of a manager. With this coaching team and playing with these players, he'd be a brilliant signing for us.

While the odd rumour can be exciting, I don't think we should look too much into it. Realistically, who reported the Tonali and Minteh deals before we were in very advanced discussions with both player and club? Mount, Havertz, Rice - three examples of deals that were all over Twitter with every journo and ITK getting their grubby hands all over it long before any kind of conclusion was close. Give me what we're doing over a relentless stream of sagas. The new ownership have got incredibly little, if anything, wrong so far. We all know what we need, let's wait and see what the squad looks like when the window closes.

They'll all get it twice over trying to pronounce his name

The fact we're now on page 69 is the most exciting update we've had in this thread for a little while.

Love these kinds of signings.

Had this with DOMI 4 on the back. Belter.

Will always be left sided. I consider it be the David Ginola/Wayne Quinn paradox.

Ah?

Hang on. An ITK of an ITK. Inception level shit right here.

Bas Dost incoming

I think in that scenario, off the back of an outstanding season, with what the club is building, I don't think Howe would want to leave. Even for the England job.

:lol: Two of the least convincing finishes I've ever seen in my life. If you haven't already seen them...just have a look

Jason Puncheon to Paphos

"Which again, to me, is a bonus"

Where the fuck is Raoul Moat when you need him?

Any chance we can put the thread title in inverted commas?

All the best, Mo. Will never forget that audacious outside of the boot lob against Brighton. World class

Amen. Anybody who is entertaining the idea of changing manager, takeover or not, surely doesn't appreciate a) what Rafa has done for this club, and b) what he embodies Even if the takeover happens and we sign £30-50m players, I'd be absolutely gutted if Rafa wasn't here.

Cutting edge journalism from Ryder fucking hell man!

This thread will go down in history. It's like a bipolar novella.

Maybe they meant next Friday?

FYP

Same, Disco. Never begruded his move either. Don't get me wrong, for a fleeting moment when we beat Liverpool 2-0 and he ended up in goal, that was glorious. Ultimately though, where Liverpool are now in comparison to us - he saw the bigger picture with life under Ashley. Love that he has a print in his house of that goal against Forest, too!

Unfortunate npw

I'm incredibly apprehensive and sceptical about all this but the local journos know fuck all - just as we do, I think we can be certain of that. Stab in the dark after stab in the dark. Pretty sure they've all confirmed and denied it in this short space of time since the 'story' broke. As has already been mentioned though, the one thing that gives me a little hope is that surely there's no smoke without fire. No denial from the club either.
