Fucking hope so.

That’s the Almiron and Kelly money already spent then.

Latte Lath sounds like one of those special edition coffees you’d get at Starbucks during Christmas.

That’s not going to get us much. Most of that will go on a RW, you’d have thought. And we desperately need cover elsewhere as well, especially if we get into Europe.

I guess that’s one way for the Saudis to circumvent the rules and inject cash into Newcastle Utd.

Kluivert would be great as second striker to rotate with Isak, not replace him.

Patrick Kluivert’s grandson?

Aye, his name is Darragh McAnthony. He’s a great listen on the rare occasions that Talksport have him on.

So basically the lad doesn’t even want to be there and was forced to sign for them? As a side note, Real Madrid seem to be able to get so much talent on free transfers. I know they pay huge wages and occasionally splurge on a huge fee, but so much of that squad they got for free.

Just been on their forum and it looks like they’re starting to turn on the manager lol.

Are Tino and Livra not the same person?

Fact is everyone in that squad barring Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Gordon and Botman should be available for sale at the right price. And even those 5 can’t be untouchable if an insane offer comes in. It’s then Mitchell’s responsibility to source adequate replacements within whatever budget he is given. That’s his job. If he can’t do it then he needs to be replaced with someone who can. We are gonna have to wheel and deal like our lives depend on it. Feels like PSR has shackled us more than any other club.

Could we get £60m for him from Saudi?

Villa are quite proactive, whereas we, by comparison, like to sit on our hands and wait for the perfect transfer to fall into our laps.

The result today really done me in like. Nothing is lost yet of course, and this season could still turn out to be a really special one, but I feel like we will get more results and performances like today mixed in with the good ones. Apart from the 9 game winning streak, the inconsistency has really killed us.

Get rid. Offers us nothing.

And the hardest to replace.

Villa can’t cope with the Champions League together with the Premier League. We struggled last season, and Forest will be the same if they qualify for it next season. Clubs like ours simply don’t have the squad depth to adequately compete in both.

It’s obvious we will have to sell one or two of our better players to progress as a club. PSR means there is no other way in the short term. Liverpool did it when they sold Torres, Suarez and then Coutinho. Spurs did it with Gareth Bale. We will have to do it as well.

Bournemouth are very good. I know the score line doesn’t reflect that at the moment, but they’ve been comfortably the better side today.

90m euros is a mad offer for Mitoma. Mudryk and Antony cost the same. That kind of outlay doesn’t really get you much these days, does it.

That and the loss against West Ham will probably come back to bite us at the end of the season, I fear. Both losses at home as well, which makes it even more galling.

Utter shite from Brighton.

Probably found it down the back of the sofa.

What’s Ed Woodward been up to since leaving Man Utd? Perhaps he could do a job for us? Granted, he was clueless when it came to the football side of things, but seemed to be very highly thought of when it came to maximising commercial revenue streams.
