Also not sure where our alleged bids for Livramento sit with having no cash left.

I would say it is similar to Gordon in that a player we want is available before we expected, so we are moving to secure them now they are available.

 

A RB was likely earmarked for next summer but with Southampton being relegated it has given us the opening to go earlier on this one.

I wouldn’t see us not qualifying for CL as going backwards but our aim should be a second consecutive season of breaking up the sky big six.

 

If we don’t do that and all of them finish above us then I will see that as us going backwards, as we have failed to keep up.

Jamal Lewis, how did I forget him. Hasn't played for two years yet seemingly content to sit on his arse and collect wages.

 

Didn't he turn down loans despite not even being registered? Some commitment to not being the slightest bit arsed about his career going down the pan.

Not entirely fair on Lewis. He's has had injury problems and he wanted to go out on loan last summer by all accounts but was kept around by Howe because of Targett's injury.

 

Pretty sure he has been repeatedly described as one of the best trainers at the club as well by other players (distinctly remember Maxi saying so in an interview).

 

Definitely needs a loan/transfer this summer though for everybody's sake.

Luke reckons fans are “dismayed” that we might only sign Tonali and Barnes 

 

Not surprised since most are expecting 4-5 signings with those two maybe being the two big buys of the summer. He's just being his usual WUM self by putting that shit narrative when there's no reason to think those will be the only two signings.

Until they’re booted out for financial misdemeanours.

Let's be honest, that's never going to happen. I'm expecting a measly £1m slap on the wrist and then they'll be on their way.

Surprised we've not got shot of Fraser yet. He's not a bad player but him and Howe have come a cropper. 

Great signing for a tip Div 1 side.

He’s on £70k per week? Which team is going to pay that sort of wage? And why would he move for less?

This is the problem with all of our players who we would like to move on tbh. Hayden, Lewis, Fraser, even Lascelles. All of them are capable of doing a good job for a championship club but no one wants to pay those sort of wages down there unless the player is outstanding.

If we loan Frazer to a team they dont have to pay him the full 70k. It can be split between both clubs, eg Newcastle 40k and them 30k. In an ideal world we would want him off the books completely but this sorta deal would help in the short term.

Would he want to drop a league to get the same money though? Hopefully, if he wants to play, but who knows? It’s still a decent amount for a championship team to pay, for a player who’s barely played in the last year.

There’s no GIF or emoji that represents the anger I feel at that.
