Big Jow's Samba Mags.

Link says "OL and Newcastle, who are coveting Bruno Guimaraes, are very close to an agreement for the transfer of the Brazilian midfielder. Amount of the operation: 42 million euros, plus 10 bonus."

So general consensus seems to be this is still a goer and Lyon's statement yesterday was just to do with being a plc (precedent with Mendy/N'dombele)?

Should be European nights they've only ever won 2 European Cup matches in their history (50 years ago), including qualifiers.

So is this fella basically the Cabaye replacement? Only took 8 years.

Nee idea if he’s any good, but thought he’d be completely out of reach with some of the clubs he’s been linked to. Please don’t fall apart, feel like getting one signing like this over the line now will make convincing others to sign before window closes much easier.

Still think this goes through - just a case of who blinks first. Especially if player's unhappy.

This'll go through I reckon, brinkmanship from Man U. Pencil it in as a deadline day one.

We'd have to get awarded one first, wouldn't worry.

Just seen he's away, so much for the break and having a week or so to train with the squad in Saudi doing him the world of good ffs.

This one feels too good to be true, can't imagine he'd be short of CL suitors.

The state of that pen decision against Palace vs our non-decision yesterday. Try not to be all tin foil hat when it comes to decisions going against us, but there's absolutely no chance a penalty isn't given yesterday if it was on Salah or similar.

I don't think anyone expected him to smash them in week in, week out. I was expecting his general hold up play to be better & for him to provide a better outlet though. Ball seemed to bounce off him a lot today. Hopefully the extended break will do him the world of good and he & the team can begin to play to his strengths.

Really useful squad player, and one of only a few I'd look to keep a hold of. How easily he's able to slot in on his opposite wing is a massive plus

The two fouls given against Wood in the box (albeit he hit it straight at the keeper 2nd time) were pathetic too.

Thought Manquillo was superb when he came on today.

THANK FUCK FOR THAT, useless black and white bastards! Be some away end that.

Fuck off man Cavanagh.

Our game management is shocking.

That’s not a foul ffs.

Credit to Longstaff, thought it was the wrong sub but done well today.

Fraser’s fucked.

We’ve no subs left man.

Soccer Saturday unanimous it’s a pen. That co-comm has properly pissed me off.

That’s a fucking pen. Co-comm’s a thick cunt.
