Nope.

Should we join a queue ?

Not sure about that. Just seems a bit of a general twat to me. Him and Rashford (plus Welbeck and others) played for my son’s old team. Rashford has been much more interested/giving of time than him.

Competition, options, 5 subs and cover.

Seemingly he has got his wish. On the way to Paris for a medical. Hope he’s not driving… . https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2022/07/15/hugo-ekitike-finally-gets-his-wish-after-rejecting-newcastle-united-the-telegraph/

Admittedly based on not very much at all, I don’t want Lingard. Despite his wealth of experience I just can’t see him being a positive influence, particularly off the field.

Looks like such a beautiful setting. Is their going to be a downpour as predicted? Hope you have a great afternoon/time. Maybe try and yodel the Blaydon Races! ?

I would actually be really happy to sign him. A definite improvement still with room to improve. My preseason wish list (admittedly I had never heard of, or at best knew little about, some of the seemingly more exciting options—after a bit of ‘Wise’ scouting—we’ve since been linked with) was Phillips, Gallagher and Harrison. Didn’t have a favoured striker, until I watched Osimhen (obvs…).

.COM have us linked with Aaron Mooy… ?. He of decent season with Huddersfield 2016-17 ish.

I kinda like that though. Dignified separation from the troops.

Watching the reaction on film after the still, sounded to me as if the photographer (or whoever they are talking to) set it up. The willingness to involve ‘us’ in such pranks/jokiness is just the most wonderful illustration of the current relationship with the fanbase. I love it.

It’s hard to imagine they’ve replaced with the same quality after selling their two best players (potentially three) but perhaps they’ve brought in more players and have improved the overall squad/reduced the gap in quality in their squad. Guess we’ll see.

Artist’s temperament. He’ll retire to rich sportsman’s equivalent of a Parisian garret, unfortunately without a ballon d’or gracing his mantelpiece.

Hoping to see young ‘Billy’, as he was known at Bristol Rovers, get a run out today. How great would it be if he earned Howe’s confidence and nailed the place that would have been snapper-legs Etikite’s.

Mbemba! The allegedly aged Botman of an earlier era’s pre-season excitement.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we signed someone like Zapata. We clearly need another striker, even if just for cover. Can’t remember last season’s stats, but he’s 31, couple of seasons in him, and has basically scored 1 in 2 in Serie A. I am assuming it depends on who else is really available to us and how much they are genuinely prepared to pay for alternatives or other positions. I guess there will be at least two first teamers coming in, probably three, and at least one of them will be a journeyman/‘right for now’ or loan.

Well here’s to bones becoming bone! … is it too early for a pre-match pint? (Asking for a friend).

Game day! Still tickets available for both sides.

Well done that man. Classy goodbye ?

Murphy in off the post!

? I prefer @Wolfcastle’s take! ?

Darren Bent getting a run out…
