I think a lot will depend on what positions we manage to move players on it. Centre back and cover full backs should be high on the list though

Andrew Sparkes, just boarded a flight from SA to England and tweeted new adventure awaits

Players are only worth what other clubs are prepared to pay for them. We could value Gallagher at £10M, doesn’t mean we would get £10M from a club for him though

Just classic cat and mouse IMO. We made a low opening offer, then increased it. Birmingham trying to get all they can from us, so we say we are walking away. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us linked with other forwards to try and make Birmingham feel they will lose out and then come calling to agree a final deal. They will sell as they need the cash and the player will want PL football

I’d imagine they are still waiting for the outcome of planning permission

Why would we do that? Here you go Celtic, you buy him now for £3M and we will buy him from you next season for £10M

It’s the people using VAR making the decisions not VAR as that’s just the actual replaying of footage

Football player didn’t grow up supporting the team he plays for shocker! Matt Targett was supporting them too, don’t see anything mentioned about that. Some people need to get over themselves and grow up.

And will be judged by those on here by their playing career rather than coaching ability

German scout for Arsenal currently I believe

Need Konte from RBL, Valerys mate so needs to have a word

Seems getting stripes right is harder than expected: Sunderland https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/sunderland-afc-news/revealed-sunderland-afc-unveil-bold-new-home-strip-to-mixed-response-from-supporters-1-9781570

Someone has done a mock up both ways, doesn’t look nice either way!

New club sponsor on 3yr deal

Expecting to see a few changes in off field personal over the summer prior to pre season training commencing

I saw Valery was retweeting messages praising Konate from RBL yesterday. He fits the model Ralph said we would be looking for.

Any idea how many we have dropped in final 15 mins of games?

Shows why there needs to be a refresh on the summer. Too many higher earners that aren’t good enough for starter 11. Gallagher £40k pw, for that I’d sell him and invest that into someone else for example

Austin has turned down a move to a championship side according to Talksport. Wants to stay and fight for his place rather than move to championship

Maybe a loan or two in tomorrow so the real rebuild can happen in the summer.

Got away with that tonight. Draw a fair result, didn’t create enough in the final third. Ball going out to the full backs plenty but nobody getting close to provide support. When JWP switched to the right he was in soooo much space but continued to go down the left despite him screaming for it. Still plenty of work to do in getting the balance right in the side

Judge when the window shuts IMO. If we get one or two in on loan (or transfer) then we might be saying we finished the window up

Otherwise we end up with the likes of Forster not in the squad but earning crazy money!

Think I’d wait until the summer to ensure his up turn in form is sumbstained and not just a few good games. We are quick to moan about players on long term deals so think they need to be earned based on a longer period of time than just half a dozen games

Who is the guy who asked the questions in the press conference?
