I know what you mean, it enraged me too. Think it's tricky to change the rules though. The punishment is the auto red card for the keeper, doubled by them having used all their subs. The shit part of it was the fact there was barely any time left. It's one of those where, if that chance happens earlier in the game, the smart move for the keeper is to just let Wilson past to score. Like what Clark should have done V Norwich.

Pope being injured for tomorrow would be the ultimate proof we are living in a simulation.

Don't think we will see any movement on this till after Benfica play their CL playoff on Wednesday. Hope things will move along quickly once that is out the way.

Suggests PSG interest may not be quite the same obstacle it was with Ekitike.

Also works on the understanding that the club won't stand in there way if/when they get a big side come in for them. Similar to the way we used to be with European (mostly French) players back under Pardew/Carr.

Anyone got any predictions on the timeline on this one. I am guessing news of a first actual bid comes out tomorrow.

We'll bid what we want, and don't call me Shirley

Your conclusion there is top notch ? But yes, safe to say Pulisic is a gargantuan upgrade on either Almiron or Fraser. Sadly don't think it's a realistic target though. If Chelsea do make him available he won't be short of takers across Europe, let alone in the PL.

This may be the case, in fact I'd say it's very likely, but it still involves spending now based on speculated income in the future. From everything we have been told about the current owners/PIF that's not something I can imagine them wanting to do.

Didn't Kovacic start life at Chelsea as a loan? Also, if you want to go back a little further, Tevez at Man U.

That would be amazing, where did they say that? Only thing I have seen in regards to Pulisic to NUFC is him being included in the TIFO sensible transfers video, which was a suggestion on their part based on data, rather than any source based link.

I worry that if they are willing to do business at around £33m it won't be just us and West Ham in for him. Frankly at that price it would be a bit of a red flag if there weren't multiple teams in for him.

Not sure what to make of this. On the one hand I'd love Paqueta, especially having made my peace with him not actually coming. On the other hand it is Bailey, who is very hit or miss.

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this new Raul de Tomas tweet is a rehash of the one that came out yesterday from some journo over in Spain. No new information.

Gutted for him, after the work he put in during the Summer and pre-season this must be awful for him.

Ha, apologies. 14 years of fat Mike and his 'line' it was always impossible to get over means any talk like that well and truly triggers me now ?

Any proof on that, or justy talking out your arse?

I don't know that I would be thrilled. But then, all I really want out of this first full season of Ashley being gone is not to have to ever worry about relegation once during the season. Give me a nice, boring, mid-table finish to fully recover from the last 14 years, then maybe I will start to let my ambition run wild for the season after!

Jacobs suggesting Maddison is Howe driven.

I do get the feeling there may be one more bid to go in, likely after this weekends matches. But still don't think that will get it done.

Maybe wait till this evening before getting too comfortable. Wouldn't be shocked to see us (and anyone else interested) have our forced by this. Often see it with players with affordable release clauses. One side triggers it and a bunch of others jump in.

Seeing some stuff on twitter suggesting West Ham have activated Cornet's release clause. If we want him we will also need to make our move now.
