Was having a mooch around on red cafe when we signed Isak and a load of them thought we’d overpaid.

Doesn’t sound great for the money being bandied about. However, they’ve obviously seen something in him to think he’ll strengthen the midfield.

For the real football geeks on here how does Alvarez compare in ability to Haidara and this Kone who we’re linked with ? I’d never heard of him which means nowt, but read that Van Basten once said he was to slow. From brief YouTube footage seems to get his foot in and has a decent dig on him, but wouldn’t say I was blown away in comparison to clips of the other 2 I’ve seen.

Thinking man’s footballer who get’s his head up and can play a pass, great feet, can beat a man and has all the physical attributes of a young Rooney. What a crying shame the takeover didn’t happen before Bobby Clark left, those 2 could have been tearing up the league in 2 years time for us.

Was practically the Portuguese national teams midfield wasn’t it ? Easy to be harsh on certain players today, but the reality is that was a cracking result with the players we had out.

He always looks like he’s just been shot in the leg, just lulling that ponce Alexander-Arnold into a false sense of security.

Think he adds another dimension to this team coming off the bench. We’ve got the coaching set up to develop him now, massively excited for what he can do this season.

Bruno, Isak and Anderson to start 1-2.

Says it all.

One more top drawer signing like Maddison, Haidara or Kone and we’d be in dreamland.

He’d fit in superbly with the mackem piss head Glendenning on there.

Great result in the circumstances would have taken that before kick off. Anderson looks the business though without a doubt.

Wolves midfield looks tasty and they look strong out wide, massive test be delighted with a point.

Where looking to challenge this lot so why would we potentially leave ourselves with Darlow between the sticks. Unless it’s to good to turn down, tell him to knuckle down and respect the contract he was happy to sign.

Don’t care if it’s his dream move or not, if they don’t come up with a decent offer for him tough shite.

From the Mail cover for Trippier - Meanwhile, Newcastle are exploring a deal for West Ham right-back Harrison Ashby. The 20-year-old started in West Ham's Europa Conference League win against Viborg earlier this month and has been tipped for a bright future making a handful of first team appearances over the past two seasons. David Moyes has promoted the Scotland U21 international to his first team squad this season but Newcastle will see if a £2.5million offer will tempt West Ham to sell.

Mind that Sabre Mag character on there surely can’t be one of us, deserves an absolute kicking if he is.

Illustrious company.

Seen he’s been linked on the BBC gossip page with some big clubs this morning. Celtic and Denmark Under-21 midfielder Matt O'Riley, 21, is attracting attention from Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. (ESPN)

His welcome video on club’s twitter has 2.7 million views already, all these little indicators of how interest in the club is now off the scale. Will all help when justifying our new 60 million shirt sponsorship with Aramco next year.

Great pic of him here.

We seem to pursue long term targets and Waugh has previously mentioned Haidara. Just got a sneaky feeling he might be next through the door, which would make the midfield fucking dynamite.

Without a doubt the way we took the game to City at times last Sunday was unbelievable, it won’t have gone unnoticed.

Haidara along with Pulisic on loan would be the cherry on the cake. I think behind City we would possibly have the best midfield in the league.
