Agreed. Would have rather seen Osula start and Isak brought on for the last 20 minutes if needed.

A centre half that Palace bought from Barcelona this summer. Can't see them selling Guehi anymore this window to be honest.

If we get no one else before the window closes, there will likely be quite a few boos on Sunday post-game.

I guess we will get an update about transfers from Eddie after tomorrow's game.

I was thinking about this, and would love to be corrected on it. If the constraint is £105M in cumulative losses over a three-year period, then that's £35M/year. If we can recognize sales right away and amortise player purchases over the duration of their (4-5 year) contracts, then we should be able to spend at least £100M every year in new transfers. Example, buy players worth £100M and give them four-year contracts, you only recognize £25M in losses in the current year and you have room for an extra £10M in other losses.

I mean for Trafford, not Vlacho.

I'm okay with option 3, I just don't see why we would spend £20M on a keeper when this money could be the difference between getting a quality vs an average winger. We have two right wingers, but I don't deem them to be good enough to help us push for Top 4.

So we have five first team keepers and still want to sign another one even when RW and RCB are in urgent need of recruitment?

Eddie isn't known for squad rotation, so my guess is he'd be brought on for the last 30 minutes (also not forgetting possible lack of match fitness).

Shaky at the back. Bournemouth looked like scoring with every attack. Really hoping we can get a solid right-sided centre half this week.

Glad that VAR exists. Very close game.

Everton were recently docked two points for breaching PSR by £16.6m. Had we not sold Minteh, would we have been docked more than four points? Even then, the difference in class between Minteh vs Miggy/Murphy may have made up for that deduction...

Aren't there no half decent centre halves that we could sign on loan for six months till Botman and Lascelles return from injury? Don't like the idea of overpaying for Guehi.

We need to score a second. Too many times last season we gave away late equalisers.

I understand Brereton made a meal of it, but why does Schar need to react like that to a foul?

Happy with the XI and glad to finally see some bench strength in all departments.

Good signing, hope he develops as a player at the Toon and is kept for the long haul instead of being sold for profit for PSR.

Excited about this signing! Does it mean the end for Lascelles?

That's fair. For £15M though, I thought our scouts could perhaps find someone with a more prolific profile, even if that's from a different (top) league.

So, zero goals in 21 PL games and we will pay £15M for him? Why not just give Kuol a chance instead?

Agreed. Would like Eddie to be a little more flexible with squad rotation to prevent injuries. Don't think it will be a problem this season with us being out of Europe.

Minteh is likely to have more goals and assists than Almiron and Murphy combined next season.

Nothing confirmed by the club yet, so did those two deals actually go through?

Agreed. Wish we could at least see half a season of Minteh before selling him.

Would be disappointed if he's sold. But if the club feels compelled to sell, then perhaps we aren't doing too well in terms of PSR.
