I still think we need a centre half, a right back, a winger, a striker and possibly another midfielder but happy overall so far
My question is 'who cares' ... ... no one really trusts the story until the club posts the news. Until then it's dozens of people posting the news in various permutations, we never have to wait that long tbf.
We can forget about Doucouré @FabrizioRomano please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Abdoulaye Doucouré has just signed a two year contract as new NEOM SC player. Agreement sealed with former Everton midfielder — info follows @footmercato
Flight in from Madrid tonight, assuming that's Alderete. Interesting that's there's another from Dusseldorf this afternoon. Edit. There's 2 from Madrid today
Not sure you’d need to stop in Farnborough if the same people were ultimately headed to the NE for ‘business’
Isidor could be our 3rd choice left winger and cover for upfront. Mayenda could be our 2nd choice right winger and cover for upfront. If we bring in another striker. I don’t necessarily think it means Isidor will be sold especially with Mundle’s injury.
Noticed Phil Smith said that RLB said both Le Fee and Neil are both big part of the plans for next season - hopefully means Neil will sign a new deal.
Anyone know how long it takes to get a work permit done trying to figure out whether he’s going to be able to play on Saturday
Do we think Alderete/Masuaku will be ready for Saturday? RLB said this about Masuaku/Guiu and they were in before Alderete: We'll see," Le Bris said. "Every day we will make an assessment of their level and see how far we can push them through the training sessions. Lift the intensity, the contact. If they react well, they can then join the squad. If they don't react well, we wait one day, two day and assess again. So we will see for next week." also his comments about Seelt makes me think he will start. But this is RLB he said he didn’t know about CBs yesterday and then hours later we’ve signed one
I don't expect Alderete, Masuaku or Guiu to start vs West Ham. I'm pretty confident the team from Saturday will be the team that start.
