Low risk low cost signing, no issues with that personally.

Yeah these stupid artificial rules have sucked the liquidity out of the market, yet here we have crystal palace asking 70m thanks for sharing this, I’ve been looking for this exact piece of data earlier this week

I think this is good point, the right side of our team yesterday was pretty poor. Hopefully we get our fingers out this week and actually improve the side.

I wish I was confident man, it’s obviously far too early to draw conclusions but for large parts of the Bournemouth game it was pretty much the same as last season. I keep asking myself what happened to that absolutely relentless press which destroyed team.

Going to be a hell of a meltdown when these beat us

Let’s be honest here, we fail to improve the team this window and it’s quite a catastrophic failure.

Top lad and an even better pro but shouldn’t be starting.

As some have pointed out maybe things improve when we get fab and Botman back but we just look poor in possession, I was watching west ham and palace yesterday and the technical level was higher that what we displayed today. Early days of course and this isn’t a criticism of the lads, just a bit perplexed by it. Ultimately Bournemouth will be lower mid table this season and if we are aiming to get in to Europe we have to be looking to win those sort of games.

Something isn’t right mind, we look like such an average side.

It’s not been mentioned, but I doubt it given the fee and the timing of the sale.

Cracking finish from Bowen that, Kilman looking canny for them as well.

Our lads get booked every time for that tackle by the fake Bruno.

Crazy to me that teams allow man united to counter them so easily knowing this is all they have

I’m assuming the offer we made remains on the table until x, at stage we move on. Why we are leaving it so late is a mystery though.

What’s the source for this ?

Pope is an obvious upgrade down the line, fantastic keeper but if we can find someone with his goal keeping skills but competent with the ball at his feet it’s already an upgrade.

At this stage Ornstein >bbc

Matt Ritchie wasn’t paid 10m per year

All of our deals are.

The thing about Saudi is they’ve been quiet again like in January. Maybe they’ve realised as soon as Ronaldo retires the league is totally irrelevant and given up?

Aye, can understand why we didn’t let him go but getting our money back on someone on his wage would have been great business. it comes back to being good sellers which we aren’t yet.

They have 3x our revenues, they can afford it.

As always, he doesn’t want to be here show him the door. On our terms of course.

Aye, I get it just hoping the club isn’t wet behind the ears and makes someone cough up for him.
