We werent keeping Ramsdale. With a WC next year he was determined to move. Would have ended up at another PL team

I know Scienza is Brazilian (or half Brazilian, half Luxembourgian), but given the time hes spent playing in Germany - hopefully our German links with Spors/Lederer and recent German league signings makes us more appealing to him than Paris FC. Although will likely come down to who pays the highest wage

Issa Doumbia seems to be the next one

Spors and our scouts must have been busy watching the Euro Under 21 Championship in the summer. Jander, Jelert and Fellows all featured, although we would've been aware of Fellows already. I wonder if there were any other players who caught our eye

Spors took some shit on here at the weekend and hes delivered a couple of great signings in the space of 1 day. Hopefully we can add another two or so by Monday evening - as well as clearing out Aribo, BBD, Edozie and ABK (if he hasnt already gone)

Fabrizio Romano

Not sure Spors has anything to do with the sales. Did Dragan not say Ankersen was leading on sales? He deserves a promotion if so....

Derby County actually. And hes already injured

Yeah because Stoke and Boro will be the leaders come the end of the season

Great piece of business by the club. Extracted another 5-7m from Everton and a big sell on clause - for a player who didnt want to sign a new contract. A super player yes, but not convinced he would have had a big impact for us in the Championship - especially if his desired PL move didnt happen Most importantly its about reinvesting it wisely to improve us in the final third

We may not have had all the incomings we wanted so far, but at least the club are moving on (or trying to move on) the players many of us felt were not good enough

We're light years away from Leeds.....😂 Very good chance we'll be passing each other again come May

Tbf any promoted side who is organised defensively and works hard, will easily reach our total by Christmas

Personally dont think its a penalty, but it is a perfect opportunity to let the ref have a look at it on the monitor. It happens so quickly theres no way him or the lino could be 100% sure its a handball

Who is the geezer pretending to be Fabrizio Romano?

Preferably the one on the shorter contract dont you mean?

Feel for those people paying for a sky subscription. Its desperately bad. Soccer Saturday is pathetic with the level of 'expert' opinion on offer

You just know that all this delay/posturing will result in somebody more appealing swooping in at the 11th hour to sign him. Brighton are letting O'Riley go it seems so may be on the lookout for a creative midfielder. Or Leeds who appear to target the same players as us.

Insane signing

This is key for us in the summer and January windows. While we all hoped we would have made more signings by now, at least we're not buying Championship level players for the sake of it like last time - Fraser, BBD, Manning, Rothwell and Stewart all come to mind. It is more difficult persuading PL level players to join when we're in the Championship, but that should be our focus

Not sure Newcastle need Dibling. They've signed Elanga and already have Gordon, Barnes and Murphy for the wing positions. Osula can play there too

Tbf some of those Rangers players deserve to be called out. Celtic have won the title the last 4 years without breaking sweat (and equalled Rangers record for the number of league titles along the way) Not sure doing it in the first game is a wise strategy though 😂😂

30m for Broja 😦. You'd think Burnley would have learnt their lesson from last time, but no. Their recruitment has been poor, particularly compared to what Sunderland have done. Sunderland having a real go at it, which is what you need to do

And we could do with getting rid of more. ABK, Taylor, Fraser, Aribo and even BBD can all go too. Outside of GK and possibly AM (although Fernandes will likely still be with us for the first game or two), our starting lineup is good enough to start the season. Hopefully it will be improved further by the end of the window. Still another month to go.

Leicester kept a hold of Dewsbury-Hall when they were in the Championship last time, same with Willy Gnonto at Leeds. Could argue they're both as talented as Dibling and benefitted from a season at that level
