Longstaff was ball watching for that one.

Miley is playing really well.

Great ball by Miley and good to see Longstaff with composure when arriving in the box. Good start by us.

If he went down then it could have been a penalty against Burn.

Pickford’s so small, he was about 5 ft from the ball whilst diving fully outstretched.

Would Lloyd Kelly be enough of an upgrade on Dan Burn as a converted left back in Howe’s system here?

It would only be a loophole if they were to keep him or sell him for a bigger profit.

If anything it makes more sense to get them in and give them a chance to bed in for next season.

Thuram, Kone and Haidara too risky. Onana, Billing and McTominay monitored. Interest in Sesko, Toney and Solanke. Also Gibbs-White, Jacob Ramsey and Conor Gallagher on the list with Joeinton and Bruno’s futures uncertain. The above in no way adds weight to the argument of those who think Howe prefers Premiership based players.

How dare you have a critical opinion of Eddie Howe.

Then we try to come to a settlement with him regarding a percentage of the remaining wages on his contract.

If we don’t have any money and we wanted a cheap third choice striker we should have offered Southampton Ryan Fraser permanently in exchange for Che Adams, who is out of contract in the summer and would suite our style of play with his pressing and ability to drop deep to link up play. We could even make money on him if we were to sell him in a year or so. I know he’s not the quality we want going forward but as a short term third choice striker it would be better than moving Gordon out of position.

What happened to the other guy playing in Germany with the low buy out clause?

We should go in the other direction, ask that FFP include any costs involving stadium and training ground refurbishment as if the purpose of it is to protect clubs from going bankrupt, then all financial costs should be involved.

FFP isn’t a straight £105 million loss over 3 years by the way, it is a £15 million loss plus an extra £90 million in equity investment by the owners. If an owner hasn’t put anything in then a club is only allowed to lose £15 million over the previous 3 years.

I think you can do deals outside of the transfer window, it’s the registration that won’t go over outside. It is why they made a big deal about Chelsea needing to sell before July 1st last year.

Both are on par with what we currently have, so it looks like we are going for depth rather than looking for improvement. Onana has the potential to be a starting eleven player when everyone is fit eventually.

I would sell them Wilson on the condition they sell us Madueke as a replacement for Almiron.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Miggy or Wilson goes, with the money freeing up two or three permanent transfers in the late teens/early twenties category to boost the squad. I don’t think the club thinks no new players in and no player sales is the desired outcome by the time the window closes.

2 out and 2 or 3 in.

Barnes and Anderson down the left and Gordon and Murphy down the right until the summer.

That is about Livramento.

I think Howe does want him, just not at the price agreed.
