David Edgar

My snide top is perfect.

Apart from Isak.

I guess this was just adapting to City and also using Burn at LB. Usually both our fullbacks go high.

Signing by signing our profile grows and so does our chances of landing higher caliber players. "Come and play with Dubravka, Clark, Hayden and Wood" has become "come and play with Pope, Botman, Bruno and Isak."

Been 13 minutes without a signing.

Cost a fortune and has 0 goals for us so far.

Yeah, their clogger just deliberately clattered through Krafth who landed awkwardly. I dunno exactly how his knee was damaged in that, but the blame is on the clogger and pathetic ref.

Enjoy the European conference league every year.

Shite for us and Emil. Seems a top man. Let's not forget that Manquillo is solid.

Less than Pardew got. Must not have much confidence in him.

Textbook PR balanced nothing answer. Absolutely nothing like what Bruce would ever come out with. Howe's conferences are dull perfect platitudes. We want signings, we might make them but it depends.

Worrying.

Yeah, it's way too early to judge and he hasn't played in a "normal" game yet.

Such a good post this. Nails it.

This is Fabrizio Romano putting it in reverse!

Budget for 1st, finishing 7th is woeful.

He's one of those players that he wouldn't have been anywhere near Mike Ashley's Newcastle without the injury problems. So in a weird way, we only have him because his hamstrings are made of play dough. It's so shit for him on a personal level. He has the ability to play for England and be a 15-20 goal Barclays striker.

I'm also picking loads of our first team over the Man Utd first team. It is crazy how poorly run they are

If you're asking me this season who I want in my team out of De Gea and Pope, then I'm picking Pope without blinking.

If we land Isak and 2 others of similar quality, and they all work out, we could legit gate crash the big 6 already. But that's a massive stretch. Loads of transfers fail.

I'm serious. Pope is miles better than De Gea commanding his area, sweeping and distributing quickly with throws. Both are top shot stoppers and both are rubbish with their feet. All-round, Pope all day.

De Gea isn't a scratch on Pope.

We all know Wood starts and maybe we see Isak for 5 or 10 minutes depending on the situation.
