Sahar is highly rated and we’ve bought a lot of youngsters since the takeover so maybe they’ll start coming through soon.

All of his arse.

We had very few injuries last season so it’s clear the first eleven could be upgraded if you want to go to the next step. I think 2 world class, quick CBs and 1 GK would take us up a serious level. Agreed about players coming in to fill in though. You need a good squad. im very happy about Ramsey. I have no idea about Thiaw but both are young enough for Howe to work is magic.

I think he was close when Longstaff did a massive swan dive.

100%. But we aren’t going to get better if you don’t improve the first team.

did we get in their half?

I’ve never seen him kick a football. Welcome.

I like Ramsey. Young, good player and Howe will make him better. we still only made one signing that improves our first XI (Elanga). Although I’m sure it’s not for the want of trying. I’d personally go balls out for Donnaruma (doubt he will come here as I’m sure the Manchester clubs will start sniffing). I reckon we’d get £15m for Pope.

If he had any balls he'd put in a transfer request but he needs plausible deniability for the small chance he stays. Everything is being leaked via journos.

We seem to be heavily linked to him every time we are just about to play Villa.

I’d like it to get to the point whether it’s Saudi for an extortionate fee or not play for a year. I don’t want him anymore and I don’t think Howe does either.

He is 35 next month but I wouldn't sell him either. He will be integral this season. Best RB we've ever had.

Donnaruma available for transfer. I can see him going to Man Utd,

Relax yah self man.

who else have they signed?

Probably best it’s made member only….

Yes Luke! I’m starting to like this guy. All aboard Team Chicken Nonce!

I took the family to Hampton Court Palace today. It wasn’t open until 12 (normally opens at 10), and a massive motorcade and police presence greeted us when we arrived. Turns out it was JD Vance. The operation must have cost a fortune.

Excluding penalties, Wissa scored same amount of goals as Isak last season.

It would be great if we just froze him out for the final 3 years of his contract but ultimately player power will win. My hope is we sell him to Saudi for £300m.

No chance of mitro. Not mobile enough for Benitez so nowhere near enough for Howe.

Do Bournemouth have any players left?!? zabaranyi has just signed for PSG (Huijsen, Max Aaron’s and Kerkez also just left - so that’s their entire defence). neto is off to Botofago as well.

Isak has put himself in a massive hole now. It was crazy to effectively go on strike before the clubs even started talking. it would probably be a bit more annoying for him if Liverpool had put a £150m bid in and we rejected it. Instead his agents and liverpool have unsettled him, then they stick in a low ball offer.
