    Tomori impresses me, heard him do an interview in broken Italian few weeks ago, not the easiest place for a black player to be welcomed but he seems to have cracked it so fair play to him, he'd still be on loan now if hed stayed at Chelsea... Probably

    Whats even funnier is that AC bought him and he ousted Romagnoli from their starting XI, and now it looks like we are about to get Romagnoli from AC on a free transfer.
    Not sure signing a guy who was replaced by a guy you let go is progress, but hey ho! <laugh>

    Wouldnt be the 1st chav player to move on and come good tbh

    Under roman the culture for players was hit the ground running or be replaced, not exactly a club known for developing youth I think that's fair to say, who knows if that will be the case under the new guy but you've let some proper worldies go over the years cos they couldn't get a game for you, Salah and Kdb being good examples.

    Ive read you have a war chest of 250m this summer, small change in comparison to romans spends so maybe we will see some of your yoof come through eventually

    Yeah there is also Bertrand, Ake, Lukaku to name a few others who I feel could have had an impact at CFC if they'd stayed.

    I dont think we need all that much money to sort the squad out to be honest. We need a couple centre backs, looks like we have one for free coming in already, and a striker. We were short a decent midfielder this past season too, but Connor Gallagher should be able to fill that role.
    If we sell Lukaku we will probably get 60-70m back for him too.
    If it were me i'd go all out for Lewandowski, he wants out from Bayern and even at his age he outscored Haaland this season, id take him in a heartbeat.

    Lewandowski is all set for barca I think mate, his agent was in their club shop buying shirts with his name on the back last week.

    Youre probably only a decent striker away from challenging tbh, not sure what your backline will look like though cos a few are already gone and sliva is about 46 now and can't go on forever <laugh>

    Looks like we've missed out on Tchouameni so I have no idea who we have in mind now. I'm Quite pleased with our squad at the moment so no panic

    You will be fine. Carry on as normal with one or two signings, you only missed out on the title by a gnats hair.
    With us it depends on who we sign and whether they gel quickly. If we can get two centre backs and a striker to click we should be able to challenge.
    For me, Werner offers a lot more than Lukaku, so i'd keep him.
    Lukaku will probably stay another season, you cant give up on a £100m signing so quickly. So it might be a case of us crossing our fingers and hoping he comes good finally.....I have doubts though.
    With Rudiger and Christensen ****ing off we really need to concentrate on the backline more than anything else, and hope James and Chilwell stay fit next season.
    Our season started to de rail when those two went out injured.

    Does this mean that the last Bastian of Sociaiist Idealism and defenders of the Red Wall have only got a football club because the most hated Tory in Geordieland intervened and saved their club

    Awesome

    I would say the last bastion of Socialist Idealism was Liverpool, but nah, they straight up marxist commies.

    Well Maggie Thatcher was guest of honour at the celebration when they won a title in the eighties and her Government was responsible for the Regeneration of Liverpool so maybe not

    Sucky couldn't identify her in a picture with the Liverpool manager and player from that time. He couldn't identify manager or player either.


    She was and still is a horrible ****.

    KDB should have been given more of a chance imo. You could see his potential. Not Salah though. He wasn't good enough at that time.
