Some truly embarrassing comments. It’s a good job the players don’t fold so quickly like some on here

It’s a shame but christ people will pick up niggles. Hopefully nothing too long.

Because the admin, paperwork and procedures once you’re outside of the EU in every walk of life take far, far longer.

Well we’re not in the EU anymore ?

Hope he’s not out but he’s going to get injured at some point unfortunately even if it’s something small. We could probably do with signing another midfielder this window

Yeah can’t wait for this, bang in the middle of the Gallowgate

Agree ?

There was obviously a link with him but he clearly wasn’t a priority. We can’t sign everyone anyway lol I’d rather we signed a striker and another winger

There’ll be a massive over reaction to Paqueta if he is signing for West Ham

Very tough and it’ll be very close, could go either way too. I reckon a 1-1 or narrow 2-1. I can see us picking up a point though which I’d happily take.

Gallagher would be excellent but will depend on who Chelsea bring in I guess. I don’t think they’ll let him leave right now.

Theyre always very good. Man the difference to the absolute drivel we had to listen to with Bruce

I don’t think Paqueta has ever been a “key” target really

He’ll be out 3 weeks minimum won’t he and it could easily be much longer

When he got injured last season he’d played every game pretty much as we had no other striking option. I hope the improved fitness and full pre-season means it’s only a small hamstring injury. I think they’ll manage him better to avoid longer term problems and if Isak comes in that’ll work in his favour anyway. He’ll have to accept that his body just isn’t up to playing every game but he still has a massive role to play.

I agree. You can’t look to push on in the league and have cup runs relying on Wilson up front. It’s totally unrealistic.

He looked a bit off pace against Forest I thought but until he came off against City he was moving pretty well. I think he’s always prone to injuries as we’ve seen. Hamstrings are very tricky to manage particularly at this level. Even if it’s minor it will be a few weeks out. You wonder if this move for Isak comes after knowledge he may be out much longer.

Sure he’s limited but we will never truly play to his strengths. At least with Trippier playing there’ll be better crossing for headed chances.

?

He should be stamping his authority on the game ffs

Murphy is awful ?

Anyone hear that O’Driscol fella just now on total sport, hardly a ringing endorsement. I don’t know his credibility

This signing still makes sense given his versatility across the forward positions.

I think this is key really. He’d clearly move here in a shot if we wanted him but may not be a key target anyway.

Paqueta seems to have been a link pushed by fans more than the club really. I think if we were genuinely interested in him we’d sign him given his pal is here. Ofcourse there’s still time in the window for that to change
