    I don't want Neil to go but should the contract situation mean he needs to, I would not be against this lad being captain. Just seems to have standard and levels and I think he's going to be extremely popular.

    I mean would it not make sense for us to go for who the sporting director is after? As long as the players align with our system

    I mentioned his speed from a standing start when he was first linked. It is a stand out attribute. He is an exciting player for sure. Still a few questions for me in terms of the standard he is coming from week in week out, and one or two rough edges. But he is really young, they all have them. Interesting to see how he and Mundle match up, if indeed he does play on the left. If Mundle had been injury free I wonder what his stats might have been last season. Let them battle it out I say.

    100% this with me. Wanted him to succeed so much cause he was one of ours. But reality is he isn't good enough!

    I personally have a feeling we are moving into a different recruitment strategy and that it suits Ghisolfi’s skillset a lot.

    I'm trying to rack my brain but he may be the player with the highest ceiling we've ever signed permanently. Incredibly exciting signing.

    I wouldnt go that route personally. I dont like new players taking the armband. I am still a firm believer in the armband really has to be earned. It is a privilege but a hugely important role day in day out. I am not sure who I would give it to though if Neil does go. In my opinion he was an outstanding captain last season and it will be some shoes to fill. Probably between Ballard and Hume for me, at a push Ballard. I like a captain in the spine of the side.

    We should just go and offer Burnley their asking price for Trafford. We get a keeper and Burnley lose one. If nothing else, it’ll force Newcastle to match the asking price, which they won’t be happy about.

    I do concur normally I'd be against it but this guy seems a special case.

    If we were sticking to existing players I'd personally go Hume. Ballard is a bit too quiet for me. Quite a shy lad. Hume will be vocal and I like my captains vocal - especially when paired with a more measured manager. Need someone to rile them up!
