If he doesn't want to stay then that gives the other team leverage, plus foreign sides have got a lot less financial clout than PL sides.

Can see him going to Italy or the like for around what we paid for him. Hopefully I'm wrong because he looks a really good player.

Just a side note that he earns £35,000-a-week on his deal at Arsenal. I thought it would be more, but that doesn't make me any more happy about us potentially getting him permanently.

This exodus isn't necessarily the end of the world, but the worry is that we will have Rasmus choosing their replacements.

Can't we just load Che up with horse placenta or whatever Man City do in their shady Barcelona clinic?

No thanks, Bree and Tino should be enough to go on in the Championship and he's pony in CM

I never want to see him again and that includes in the Championship

Yeah just chuck it in against Forest and Bournemouth. We've done it against every other side so why stop now...

To drag one of Everton or Leicester down with us would be enough to raise a smile even out of this miserable fuck after the season we've had.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Rasmus himself. Seriously wouldn't put it past the bloke.

What a fucking mental thing to come out with. Your opinion, and therefore it's valid - but Jesus.

United's first goal was a brilliant save at full stretch, and the second time he palmed it out into a semi-dangerous area it was his touch which stopped three United players tapping it in. Bazunu had a tame effort straight at him and chose to palm it straight to a Palace attacker out of all the available options.

What did you make of Bazunu's efforts for the goal?

I think Onuachu will have some kind of resale value at least. He has shown he can score lots of goals on the continent. Meanwhile, Sulemana has shown he can... Run fast?

In a season of crazily bad signings, this guy may just be the worst in terms of value. Players like him are ten a penny in this league and yet SR saw fit to spunk 22m on someone with three career goals. It's just staggering how bad Rasmus has been at his job.

He is a shower of shite and anyone still claiming otherwise has completely fucking lost it. End of.

Hopefully that's ABK out for a very long time indeed. Now we just need the same to happen to the other 10.

See you all in August x

I don't think Howe will have had much of a say in their recent signings tbf, and his spending at Bompey was atrocious in the main

Depends if they want a bouncing, full stadium for the first few games - or 22k. I'm not getting a ST without a good faith gesture from the club. Had enough of paying through the nose for shite.

I'm perhaps speaking for a slightly younger generation but me and a lot of mates are bang into watching England. This squad, manager and the togetherness are certainly a marked improvement on anything we saw in the 2000's.

Gibbs-White is probably the closest comparison to make but Burnley aren't likely to splash anywhere near the cash that Forest did. I think it will all come down to whether Tella wants to follow Burnley up that badly, and whether we think he can actually make it in the Prem if/when we return.

How many of those clubs actually get that? Said Benrahma and Danjuma both left the Championship for about £20m - I think it's about right.

£20m would be fair enough, I think. It's peanuts, really.

I'm in the same boat 😅 Realistically, I don't think anything but three points is good enough. It's going to be nervy.
