    <laugh> I'm not having that. Vlahovic is far better than Wood. By quite some distance. Although I must say I'd have to see a lot more of him and a lot more from him to believe he was worth the reported 70-100m. I was a bit shocked when I watched him, not what I expected at all.

    I'd prefer to sign Nketiah than Wood personally. I think we need mobile players. Don't get me wrong, if we were rejected by all and sundry, and Wood was the only option I'd take him. He has a decent record. I just can't see how he fits what Howe is trying to do.

    Usually I drink every day of the year. So I stop in January to make it look like I don't do it every day of the year

    its not 70-100 million. They have set the price at £58m (70m Euro)

    Nketiah is a no brainer for me, won’t cost much as he’s out of contract in June. He’s hungry to prove himself, a good player who can score goals and if the worst happens we have a lad that has a proven scoring record in the fizzy pop league

    You can't see how he fits in? We can have more than one tactic you know. Maybe that's why you liked Bruce <whistle>

    Yes the Arsenal lead looks good. However I go back to least two signed from Arsenal...

    I'd not be against it on the basis he's grown up a bit. I was taken aback when they asked him about his dreams, and he said when he was young his only dream was to play for Partizan, Newcastle and Serbia! All that stuff about Newcastle being his favourite club was obviously not just pandering to us when he joined. His game is bit more rounded than Wood so I'd agree.

    My benefit. Sadly when it comes to alcohol I find it easy to stop and stay not drinking but once I start I find it very hard each day too say no

    Fair do's mate, wasn't wanting to pry. Just never understood it. I see loads of people on social media almost bragging about it and never understood it.

    I only do it in January, not because of dry January movement, but for a variety of reasons such as a heavy December of drinking but also because January has the anniversaries of a lot of deaths like my dad's and my daughter's so I find it easier not to be drinking otherwise my ****y behaviour could manifest it's way into my job

    I didn't like Bruce. I just didn't struggle to be objective in his first season or his second. Unlike some...
    Funnily enough Wood would be a very Steve Bruce signing which makes me wonder who really did like him

    You can have several ways of playing. Very few managers go from Howe's style to Sean Dyche's in the space of one game. As someone has suggested you might as well bring Mitro back who has a more rounded game and is comfortable whatever the approach.

    I presume the difference in transfer fees would be the reason

    I'm doing dry Jan-Mar. Just for healthiness reasons and because it ties in with a training programme I'm doing at the gym. I too find it too easy to drink daily.

    I can't do the stop drinking and do fitness. I'd have a heart attack
