Great to see Tonali in from the start, speaks volumes on what Howe must see in him. Gonna be a good game this.

Watkins thing might be some last minute mind games

That reveal video is bad on so many levels

Enjoyable but very much the same as you’d see from other docs like all or nothing, not that we’d expect anything different. Cool to get a little inside look into some of the people behind the club though.

As always, wouldn’t read to much into what Howe says publicly about transfers. It’s usually smoke and mirrors as we’ve seen time and time again.

What times it out then?

To be fair I don’t think that’s unique to here, it’s pretty consistent across all the football forums I look at personally.

Eventually this will sink in for the vast majority of the fan base I think, once everyone sees how good Gordon is and how well he can potentially function in our system it will open some more eyes. Taking his age and circumstance into account (only been here a short time and has had limited minutes) you can only imagine how much room he has to grow here.. he is the player that excites me the most as far as how much he can improve from here.

Think that’s a step to far FFP wise for this window

Interesting signing, obviously supposed to be the replacement for Rice. We were linked with him multiple times I seem to remember.

One or two full seasons of consistent game time and it could all look completely different again

Not sure why a lot of people expected LB to be priority over RB, there was far less depth across Trippier/Krafth/Ashby than there is in Burn/Targett. Makes total sense that it’s a RB.

Expecting £30m with significant potential add ons. Great business, significantly strengthens our back line depth.

Can we get a video on Bruce’s tactical masterclass?

Not a chance

Remember when he was finished after the World Cup and then scored 11 goals in April/May? Yeah I remember

Replacing his goals alone wouldn’t be cost effective for us this window

Fitness record, age and remaining contract length make those very high numbers imo.

Talk of getting rid of him already is madness

Wouldn’t be so quick to lump Brighton in at 6thish, their recruitment dictates everything and they have lost key players this summer

£4m can’t be right unless they are that desperate to shift his wage

One of the most depressing signings we’ve ever made

How do the Wood and Darlow fees correlate at all?

His wages off the books is key, the fact we are shifting another player that we needed to is only positive.
