Good point. We purposefully (named in 30 first team squads) triggered the permanent Hall deal for £28m amid FFP pressure. I think Howe's thinking on Hall and Targett (who has been injured a lot the last two seasons) is a lot different than the consensus on here. Tosin Adarabioyo could cover both cb positions on a free.
Home jersey is basically adidas version of 19/20 Puma. Third kit is our best for 23/24 and could be for 24/25 too. I like the home jersey better but I have a number of very similar ones.
70% chance of (a) happening and then probably another 75% chance that (b) happens with City or Man U winning the FA cup and finish top six. I like our chances to get at least Europa Conference.
Only one source actually said £100k and some others ran with it. Someone previously questioned whether that was true, and I am starting to believe it was not. Just does not make sense generally and given the other players' wages.
Lloyd Kelly would be a quality backup at lcb and lb and he was bought by Bournemouth under Howe, but we have so many bodies there already (Botman, Burn, Targett, Hall, Livramento?) that it may not be a priority unless we can move someone on.
Murphy is 29 and Miggy is 30. RW should be first priority. Getting someone who can cover CF would be very nice. I'm not sure i believe the articles about Matt Targett getting £100,000-a-week but, if true, no one is going to want him. His worth has halved since he signed with Newcastle. Most of our outgoing business won't result in big fees unless we move Isak, Bruno or Trippier.
