Seems to be a level below Hojbjerg with potential. I’m a bit meh here.

They’re trying to bring in a first choice, and sell Kepa but No one wants Kepa. They won’t be signing FF as first choice...

No idea. Maybe he’s done enough last season to bring in suitors? Id be surprised if it’s for decent money but who knows? Trying to find out.

I’ve been told by a guy I trust, that supposedly there is genuine interest in Butland, with Forster going somewhere, haven’t been told anything else, but would make sense to give Gunn games. He needs to be playing week in week out to improve.

Exactly how I see it potentially working... Forster sold Gunn loan Mccarthy first choice Butland on loan to cover

So what are we thinking....say 15,000 STH this year? Possibly 2-3000 will voluntarily not want to go because they're vulnerable... Say 12,000 fighting for 8,000 odd tickets, hopeful we'll get to go to at least half the home games this season, and hopefully by the final third of the season we'll have some sort of vaccine, to allow stadiums to be full again?

Sounds positive...

Decent in the air supposedly, look at times in possession and obvs still a lot to learn. Looks. Good fit for us.

Yeah heard the same.

Redmond, Bednarek and Ings have all been away, though the latter was in the training pics today. Doubt it’s Salisu, as he’s supposed to have been in quarantine for the last 2 weeks.

Doesn’t fit with our transfer strategy at all, but an interesting one at that price. Would expect his wages to be out of reach for us...

I’m not, because the conversation was when we played in Sheffield, and got knocked out the cup. He was in the stand that night in the home end, and Mane played and was useless. Think he had just left permanently for Leeds and still believed he could offer us something, and then we signed Mane, he was not impressed at the time.

He's no worse than Austin tbf.

Yeah - that was mentioned. He was told he'd be playing, then Cortese decided he wasn't and that he'll go out on lona cos we were buying other players. Guessing this was Mayuka, J-Rod,. Osvaldo and then Pelle, Long and Mane, over the years where he was out on loan.

Ah yes, didn' t see those photos.

So only ones I think I can see that reported back for pre-season, or the only ones that the club want us to see... Romeu Long Armstrong Vestergaard Bertrand Stephens Possibly Obafemi?

Adam Blackmore also said similar at the same time, so would expect it was briefed by the club...interesting to see what happens with him. Might have just been to try to keep it quiet.

Sounds exactly like Lemina to me...loan for a season possibly..

He's 21, and assuming he's got good potential and the right attitude he's probably worth the gamble, though it's a lot of money, and he doesn't look like he's going to walk into our side right now. Is he any better than Reed? Not sure...

Winners: Liverpool Relegated: Fulham, WBA Top 4: Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea Us: 11th, though if we can get a good start then we have an outside chance of top 8. Surprise good team: Brighton Surprise shit team: Palace Signing of the season as it stands: Lallana Shit signing of the season as it stands: Ake First sacking of the season: Hodgson The Managerial “get fed up with mediocrity” resignation: Guardiola

Ah, I thought he was talking about the league cup. Ta

Who did we have in the group stage last season? This is the League cup rather than the Checkatrade? I thought that was the Fulham game where PEH played LWB

What is the group stage? Does that mean extra games?

Lets be honest, if he struggles to get in the Celtic side, it's unlikely he's ready to be starting in the premier league. Scottish league is Championship level at best

I thought it was Chelsea Away?
