Already done our one in one out with Woodman going Preston but I'd expect to see Darlow go by end of July yeah. Pope, Dubs, Gillespie is more than fine for our 3GK

What do you think ASM would fetch in todays market? We paid £16m - I'd guess double that? Don't want him to go just interested to see what people value him at.

Where is the famous black people carrier in that video?

Moving onto Raphinha?

Wow

Its our weakest position isn't it so would make the most sense. We need that statement signing in that position who can take the heat off Wilson for goals. Wide forward type in the ilk of Salah, Son etc (obviously not that tier yet, but something with potential to get there)

This is the type of statement signing that would show we mean serious business.

£1mil be a lot more believable

Christ 'over the line'

Nice to get the 2nd smart signing over the line ready for pre season starting next Friday.

#soon

Not seen Jacque Talbot get a single thing right yet? What's the crack with him? Blue tick throws me off

Kounde would be a ridiculously good signing. Which is why I can't see us pulling it off just yet.

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/nick-pope-newcastle-united-burnley-24289167 Fits the character of team player that Howe wants too.

Exactly this, you're making a major squad upgrade with two keepers perfectly capable in the PL who will push each other through competition.

Yep and World Cup around the corner for Pope.

Nick Pope thread incoming. Happy with it tbf at 8-10mil

Starting early on the pre-season per his instagram stories. Nice to see

Would like to get DCL. Not sure where this injury prone status has come from. Had a longer injury last season yes, but played 30+ league games in all 4 seasons before that.

Downie saying personal terms agreed and hopes for medical next week

Feel indifferent about getting him to be honest. Won't be too upset either way. Tough one with Wilson, love him and would take him as our main striker for next season but you just can't rely on him for 30+ league games.

We won't have all ex Burnley players? Pope and McNeil be two good signings for our squad - arguably Burnley's best two players. Wood won't play much next season.

McNeil not very popular here but he's a good player with age/potential well on his side. Keeps the ball well and has excellent delivery - just unfortunate he played in a defend first mindset at Burnley. If Howe wants him i'd be more than happy to sign him.

With the fixtures out, the game will probably start leaking prices and then re-open within the next week or so. Liverpool and City look bankers as usual, especially given kind fixtures to open. I'll probably have Wilson up top, hopefully price drops this season due to missing so much of last. https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/auto-join/5cwev7
