Tuttosport? Sounds like a wind up to me.

No one knows anything man, never mind some bell end on twitter.

He could pick them up for peanuts, which is all he has me thinks.

Been getting a lot of stick by some, but I thought he was definitely one of our better players last night. Murphy, Longstaff and Scharr were the standouts for me, in what was a pretty poor performance.

Aye, Riviere did eff all in his time here. At least, however limited he is, Joselu has contributed.

Think that one does look like the Beanie guy, mind.

Was told yesterday that there was a load of suits at Benton on Tuesday, was going to post it last night but didn't want to get people's hopes up. 'There's definitely something happening' was about as much as I could glean from him.

HMRC tax raid is more likely 

We've been here before, this time last year, but it's difficult trying not to get your hopes up.

Can't see anything happening before January, so there'll most likely be another window where the manager doesn't get what he requires to try and keep us in the league. If whoever it is is serious, they need to get a wriggle on.

Really missed having Lejeune and Lascelles partnering each other thus far thus season imo. We’re leaking goals we’d otherwise have kept out. I don’t think we’ve seen the togetherness in the squad from last season either. Shelvey Lejeune  and Lascelles were two linchpin’s that obviously due to injury we’ve missed. We really aren’t creating enough chances either.

Time to get things right still but it is worrying.

The constant digs at us are pretty feeble attempts to remain relevant.

Too late on this one then? Class.

Instead of telling us why we're puzzled, why don't you do some fucking journalism and put those questions to the people with the answers? Cretin.

Probably 'cos they don't want to be banned by the club again.

He's travelling from Japan or Mainz?

By the sounds of it I don't think he's going to be the main striker, that'll probably be Rondon if he comes. Think Muto will play like a number 10. Happy with the signing at least, if not somewhat underwhelmed.

Seems to be happening at least if harbinger of doom Mr Ryder seems to think he's inbound.

Charnley surely has to be being paid by some other (dodgy) means? A salary of £115K when the average is £1M+ in the PL?

 

£115k is great for both parties. Ashley gets to spend less, Charley gets paid far more than he's worth as he's completely unqualified. Similar to Pardew, he'll not get another job like it.

 

Also waived his bonus though, which is interesting. Just find it very odd for such a high profile position he's being pretty severely underpaid, compared to his counterparts. There has to be something else going on?

 

His counterparts are qualified to do the job though. Not saying everything's definitely above board because I wouldn't have a clue either way, but my perception is just the above really. He's getting paid more than he'll get anywhere else and Ashley's paying less than he would if he had to employ someone that's qualified.

Been around at the club since the days of Shepherd though, and has been MD since 2014, so you'd have to argue he'd have experience. Just seems really odd to me that's all. As you say, probably just a lackey with no real power and is paid as such...

Know nothing about him. Presumably a straight replacement for Mbemba and signed as cover?

Worn white socks at various points in our history, they're nothing new. I would've preferred black hoops or something though.

Excellent, finally. So that's three signings in without hardly a penny being spent.

Not that I believe it will, but it's not unheard of for these things to fall through, let's be honest. Hence the anxiety.

There has to be a reason they haven't announced it. If it was a done deal I'm sure they would have by now. Perhaps they're trying to agree a permanent signing on fee or clause.

Do we know for certain he has travelled with the rest of the squad to Ireland?
