Special Juan

I think the only way we get Kudus is if we include a player going the other way, which WHU don't want as they want the full amount.

Guardian reporting we are chasing Kudus

Vini JR is a disgrace

3-1 Madrid

Cannot beleive they were claiming against that red card, blatant as anything

For the first time in years I may get the white one, I have a discount code and a refund coming so the white shirt will cost me about 12 quid

It happened on the Ukrainian national team watch, I think the best the club can do is go after them.

He has been charged over doping offences and faces a 4 year ban, goodbye

Could be double figures that

Pedro would be an Nkuknu replacement but it sounds like Newcastle have taken an early march on him and we are sniffing rather than talking

Can't see the deal failing, we are obsessed with Gittens

Simon Phillips is terrible

The thing with Palmer is, when he doesn't have a good game he still way ahead of those such as Madueke when he doesn't have a good game. Palmer has little bits in games where he does something really influential, not special but something that will affect the game this maybe a pass, a cross, a run to take away a defender or just something crazy. I'm more worried about the likes of Madueke, Gusto, Jackson, Sanchez and Nkunku

Palace at home first game, Villa at home day after Boxing Day and Sunderland away last game

Gittens is no better than Sancho or Madueke

Gittens and Fofana links are just so underwhelming

You just know we are getting a Gittens Bomba from Ornstein anytime soon

already leaked apparently...Spurs away

He won't be as bad as Madueke, but I do not expect him to pull up trees straight away. I think Maresca will blend him in slowly

I'd like to see Santos involved at some point here and see what he has got, a smattering of changes but with an outlook to making sure we get minutes into legs but don't go overkill. Start Delap, rest Jackson, start Santos and rest Enzo the rest is up for debate

And all around the 40/50M mark the price this board love

I liked what I saw with Delap, he did the simple things and things that should come natural to a top striker. His checked runs, his runs in the channels, he was pointing into areas where he wanted it and got his rewards with the assist that came from all of the above. Jacskon is going to have a problem with Delap, two completely different players and styles but Delap is an all rounder for me, still raw and not polished by any means but he has more to his locker than Jackson and I think as we build towards the season start he will give Maresca a big problem in terms of selection. Jackson is an average middle of the road striker that will do a decent job but he shouldn't be leading the line for us, and I hope Delap pushes his nose out and pushes him out the equation. Also, the ball from Delap was an absolute delight by the way...the way he fanned his foot round it to get it out of his feet but get the height and delivery was absolute top class, a striker delivering a ball like that, that he would love to be on the end of.

Scratch Nico Williams off that list, he's getting his dream move to Barca

A wins a win

And this is what we need to rid of this team, the players that are not up to the levels, Madueke is really poor no matter what side he plays on
