So its mid transfer window and only now Bruce is set to have a transfer summit with fat ash. We all know the the outcome. Only enough cash left to pay wages for free transfers/loans but will have to sell to make room in the first team squad before any players come in so no signings of any significance and certainly no striker of any note.

If you look closely at the chance he put wide of the post he hit it with his left peg but the ball brushed the inside of his right foot just enough to put it past the post. Still unforgivable to not hit the target tho.

The more I see of this guy the more I think he would make great centre forward. He has great upper body strength has shown he can head the ball and has the skill to hold up the ball and to bring others into play, plus it means Almiron gets to move to his preferred position on the left although knowing Brewcie he'll put joelinton out on the left instead x

Watched this guy playing for Hoffenhiem in the Bundesleague last season and he looked very average to me. No way was he ever going to be worth £41m. Danny Ings would have bee a much better option. At least he knows how to finish.

Robert free kick v Manu was tremendous .

The reports say Irragorri is worth $450m. Not going to have much of that left after paying Ashley £350m.

This council are so shortsighted. If the club is eventually sold to an ambitious owner the council have overlooked the likelihood that the new owner will simply build a new bigger stadium outside the city centre. There must be numerous city centre businesses that will go under without the fans revenue. I imagine there will be more than 1000 job losses in that event.

Anyone else wondering how this Mexican guy is planning on buying nufc for £300m when his personal fortune according to Forbes is only £350m!!!!!

Bruce is a clone of McLaren. Sack him now before it's too late!!!

And sack Charnley for appointing Bruce in the first place !!!!

Got to sack Bruce tonight never mind tomorrow.

They need to adopt the cricket and tennis system of review. One review per team per game if the manager disagrees with the refs decision.

I fully expect ASM to tear his hamstring at Spurs if Bruce selects him to play and wont see him again this season.

So who should we have signed that were of a higher standard?

Scored less league goals than joselu last season and less than joselu over the last two years. Well that speaks volumes for Joselu seeing as Carroll couldn't play due to injuries. At least he scored or looked like scoring when he was fit unlike Joselu who never looked threat to the opposition goal. Even if Carroll only plays 5 games but scores the winner in those games that's 15 points in the bag.

Medical passed and fitness proved. Signing a one year pay as you play deal so a real upgrade on Joselu. Why spend money that could used to bring in anotjer player with the saving on a transfer fee. A good bit of business as far as I'm concerned.

Well pleased if we sign Carroll. When he did play at West Ham he always looked like scoring. He's a real threat from free kicks and corners.

The express and the mail, both Manchester based wont let the Sean Longstaff story go. The keep reporting that Man U will try to get him today, despite Bruce and Ashley stating he is simply not for sale, and are now reporting that if Man U don't get him now (for £50m) they will have to pay £70m next summer. I say that if Manu are prepared to pay £50m for him today, he will be worth double that if he has an injury free season with us and also gets an England call up. Hopefully Ashley will agree if they come back in with a £50m bid today.

If we have modicum of common sense we should offer him a massive pay rise with a £150m buy out clause. That's how highly I rate Longstaff and I remember going to reserve games way back when and suggesting to my mates that reserve team players Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne would play for England one day....they all ridiculed me but I was proved absolutely right a few years later

Here we go Nufc disappointed Hoffenhiem have made out interest in joelinton public which will draw in other clubs interested in him. We just couldn't match the offers from clubs in the 4th division of the norwegian league who are so much bigger than us.

Not particularly impressed with only 11 goals last season in the Bundesliga. Great if he can replicate that number in the EPL but not holding my breath.

It's clearly a case of bzg expressing an interest and the fat twat encouraging them whilst never intending to sell but using the interest as a cover for letting raga go and not buying any players

If the fat cunt sells Longstaff that's it for me. If they genuinely wanted to keep him they would have quoted a minimum of £100m transfer fee. If he goes for £50m we will live to regret it massively. I would happily ^^^^^^ the fat cunt if i got the chance!!!

Seems to me this appointment is taking into account Bruce's proven record of getting clubs promoted to the EPL from the Championship, so it looks like they are planning for the inevitable relegation this season!

Allardyce turned it down because Ashley probably stipulated that if he took the job he would have to hand over the deeds to the villa he bought with the £4m compo he got when he was sacked.
