Kenedy at left back will be interesting... Got a feeling Longstaff will grab a goal today though

Will surely be: Dúbravka Manquill Lascelles Fernandez Dummett Shelvey Diame Ritchie Perez Kenedy Rondon Subs: Darlow, Clark, Murphy, Atsu, Ki, Muto, Joselu Maybe Hayden on the bench for Atsu for defensive cover

They wouldn't even eat sugar puffs because Keegan did an advert for them ffs. They're beyond special. Amazing isn't it Boycotted Sports direct Boycotted Sugar Puffs Boycotted their own stadium to hound Short out They got their bedsheets and banners out last season after thinking they were going to piss the championship and got relegated to league 1,and they are trying to take the piss out of us? ?

Not really, it's just the case of one out, one in. We've already replaced Merino with Ki. Aye but Rafa propably thought after signing Ki his midfield business was done

Well... Wasn't expecting that, hope the 'family reasons' are too serious, he seems a canny lad However tbh this does kinda mess things up for Rafa as I think he was pretty happy with Shelvey, Diame, Ki and Hayden.

Good player, wish we would pay that bit more to get him but looks like we are going to lose out

His agent can fuck off

Fantastic news

I presume you think Hayden will be let go? Dont think Rafa wants (ideally) him as 3/4th choice tbh. Doubt he minds him staying but i think if get a decent offer then yes, he might let him go. There should be a queue of championship clubs after Hayden, if indeed Ki is a replacement for Hayden. Quite surprised that Hayden hasn't been linked with other championship clubs, would be ideal for a club like West Brom or Stoke But I guess as we have learned with the Ki deal, there are signings in and out that the media aren't aware off

If we sell him for 10m, would be be able to sign a better player for the same money? I don't think so

I thought he was finished at NUFC too, but I think we might have to give him another go. We are being quoted prices for strikers that the club simply won't pay.

Been pretty canny imo, Young is frustrating mind

:lol:

If Rafa wants to buy a different striker then he wouldn't have any problem selling Mitro to a PL club, especially as he doesn't seem to rate him. You can't have it both ways. Wasn't it reported that he wouldnt sell/loan to another Premier league club last season? Of course those reports could be rubbish but I don't think they are. I think he would have a problem selling to a potential relegation rival tbh. Just because he wasn't first choice or doesn't fit his style doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't rate him, he just doesn't trust him. He didn't score many in the championship for Benitez but was in fantastic form for Fulham in the same league. I think he will try and cash in on him to fund a new striker but he's got more chance of staying at the club than going to Fulham

Dennis Wise scouting says he's class

He would sell to a championship club, I know in the past he's obviously gambled our Premier league status but I still don't think he will sell to Fulham unless it's a silly offer I think clubs abroad will make an offer

Really don't think we will sell to any other Premier league club tbh unless it's the 'top six' in which they obviously won't want him The club will still be shit scared of getting relegated next season and won't want to sell to a potential relegation rival

The Don

Dubravka Manquillo. Lascellas. Lejeune. Dummett Shelvey Diame Ritchie. Murphy. Kenedy Perez Just got a feeling....

I fucking love this football club

No Atsu on the bench
