They have asked permission to speak to Grayson apparently

'The deal has been held up by Newcastle trying to pay the release clause in instalments so as not to have to pay as much VAT on the deal' If true this worries me, alot. Fat Mike is still very much in action

I fully expect Rafa to start Lascelles over Clark because of his age and 'potential' and im 90% sure we will be starting with 1 up top again which will most likely be Gayle imo, it would be harsh as fuck to drop him after last season and his confidence must be high.. he has to be given the chance to start for a while at the very least

Anyone got a feeling that this Barnes was brought in because Charnley was struggling with transfers?

Mitro v2?

Yeah I think so as well, looked like he got taken by suprise then panicked and used the wrong hand

I was sure that was going to be saved all the way until it hit the net

I dont know about Krul not being good enough for the prem I think its more that Rafa just doesnt fancy him, Sels is Sels and Darlow showed in the championship that he can be error prone so I can see why we might be looking at a new keeper. Elliot will be kept as backup I reckon

Should of said 'just by some very slight gnats cock sized chance'

I'm just hoping everything from the board to manager go smoothly for a while so we can just think about the goings on with actual football. If Rafa stays for a few years (with money to spend) then I think we stand a good chance of going places

Don't get caught saying things like that over on the old RTG there marra

Extra time, this game has been fucking shite mind.. pens might make watching it just about worth it

Weird to think back on that year.. we could have ended up with him if he didnt go to the scouse, didnt we also apparently try and sign Klose that year as well? Ended up with Martins

This Sigurdsson would be one of our most exciting signings for a long time but he'd cost far too much when like you say, we'd probably rather spend £15-20m on a #10 from abroad

Actually forgot about Sels So get rid of 3 out of the 4, I'd keep Elliott

Wouldnt be against getting rid of 2 of the 3 out of Krul, Darlow and Elliot. Should get an alright figure for Krul as well

First of many, though But aye its a bit like a rich tea biscuit

Then just before the window shuts 'couldnt quite get him over the line'

If the sponsor was in black I'd like it alot more

Most of them probably piss 100% alcohol judging by their posts on there

Personally I'd rather we looked at someone else. Atsu wasnt bad by any means but he wasnt starting week in/week out in the 2nd tier with Gouf starting over him sometimes which speaks for itself, obviously I trust Rafa to know better than myself and surely if we do buy him he will be rotation at most next season I'd hope anyway because if by chance he is starting in the prem next year I'd be a BIT concerned

Theres threads on RTG about how their squad would piss the championship as is, they've got to be on a wind up

That Leicester fan on Rtg is fucking great, he winds them up just by being there such a bitter bunch

Totally agree with the last sentence, either way its horrible like

Like operation yewtree the thing I dont understand is why its taken this long for them all to come out at once, I mean they knew it was going on after it happened to them and to other kids so why keep quiet until now??
