Decided to wait for Bellingham, Rice or Fernandez in the summer when we’ve qualified for CL.

Eddie will sort his antics out and Paddy Forster will sort his barnet out, really excited to see us with 2 hard working speed merchants out wide. We’re going to be an even bigger nightmare to play against.

Sure Siem De Jong missed a sitter that night, we should never forget how shite it was and appreciate everything we have now.

The good news is that hopefully this releases Joe back into midfield. We’ll have 2 absolute speed and pressing merchants out wide now.

They didn’t take the option for full 5200 but def think they’ve been given 3700 as it stands.

Think they’re entitled to 10% under league cup rules.

Any chance of Southampton sending any of their allocation back or have they sold the 3700 allocation ?

Arsenal will look very strong in the middle with him and Partey, would love us to be in for him.

Can’t wait for the game down there they’ll be fucking frothing.

We’ve become a high pressing and high intensity team under Howe. The signing makes perfect sense and I think folk will be pleasantly surprised just how good this lad is.

Yes for the greater good.

Lots of PL clubs all over these young Brazilians now, have a feeling this Andrey Santos will be the one we’ll regret not getting.

Everton away will be tasty if this comes off, not much love lost as it is.

Sounds like he’s finished at Everton now no return from this, tell Everton where knocking a million off the bid every day until the window closes

Aye simply reading the team out with a good old fashioned roar after each name would be enough and let the atmosphere build.

If Wor Flags have any clout they should have a word with the DJ fella in the box. Seems like previous displays like the Big River one were co-ordinated to the music. Clearly Wor Flags do more than enough but if they have any influence, have a word with the fucker to stop drowning out the crowd at full time. Next Tuesday should be a special night if all goes well and the atmosphere should be organic without any of this Hey Jude shite straight after the final whistle. Far from facilitating the atmosphere the cunt (I mean nice chap) is now fucking detrimental to the crowd creating any atmosphere.

Can’t imagine the top brass being concerned, it’ll be the left overs from the Ashley regime who can’t be arsed with the admin hassle of sorting it out.

Personally think we’ll get either Kone or someone of similar stature before the deadline in midfield.

Apparently Brighton have inquired about Haidara sure sign Caicedo is on his way.

Barca apparently willing to sell Ferran Torres in the summer, still only 22 would be perfect across our front 3.

The Italian press don’t half talk some shite, if they want to swap him for Rafael Leao then we might listen.

It’s happening just a matter of how much we pay now. ‘Newcastle United are hoping for a transfer breakthrough in their pursuit of Anthony Gordon after the player made it clear he wants the move to St James' Park. Everton played down his absence but there was no such defence of the player tonight as he stayed away from the club's Finch Farm training ground. With more high-level talks planned at Goodison Park, the deal is set to boil down to what the Toffees now see as an acceptable asking price. And the key new development on Merseyside this evening is that Everton are pretty much resigned to the fact he will leave in the next few days. Well-placed sources have indicated they now feel Gordon and his representatives are attempting to force the issues. And any hopes of the player landing a new deal - which was discussed last season - have now effectively evaporated’.

The rest of the league already consider us the Atletico of the league, masters of the dark arts, unlikeable an shit houses. This lad will be the icing on the cake as Eddie says we’re not here to liked, we’re here to win. Top signing will be a star here.

This lad would be exciting same club as Bruno came from. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/01/23/newcastle-and-west-ham-handed-35m-vitor-roque-boost-as-he-will-be-sold/

My impression rightly or wrongly is that they’re up their own arses this TF/NUST lot. Fair enough podcasts etc seem to be the future, but think rubbing shoulders with the likes of Caulkin and the odd player seems to have gone to their head. Certain board members seem very comfy in their padded seats in the Milburn and a little out of touch if you ask me.
