    So, my earliest memories are the 1985 milk cup run. Then the disappointing (familiar) drop into the old Division 3. Dennis Smith and the G Force compound my love for the club and the next 2/3 seasons I followed home and away until I moved out of the area.

    I don't have to provide further history of the club to you all. Plenty of ups and downs but my point is, you have had to experienced the past 8 years to truly appreciate how good this transfer window has been.

    Truly remarkable. I love this club.

    Fatawu looks a real talent mind. The link to him also mentions Uche from Getafe, we know they are a bit strapped for cash so may hit them again for him as it seems he can play all across midfield and as a 10. He's only 21 and looks an absolute monster on his highlights (I know).
    Any of the lads who watch a fair bit of European football got any views on Uche?

    Homegrown will have played into that

    I could definitely see him being sold, didn't make the bench on the weekend and turns 25 this season. He have Hume and Mukiele tied down for at least 4 seasons so I could see Huggins going

    Worse case we could add a buy back into any deal but I think he just needs to go find a club where he can play week in week out

    Him and Alese are now at the age where I'd be fine us selling them despite them having potential

    He said he loves Cheesy chips and wants to sign for the biggest club in the NE

    It's the balance. Fatawu is another foreign player, but we're paying the domestic tax to a fair extent. I guess that means that we should be able to extrapolate how he'll do at PL level (though 12 games isn't a cast iron guarantee). However, could we use that £35m to get more if we shipped specifically on the continent? Possibly/probably. He's definitely a good profile in many respects though.

    True.
    Not sure how homegrown works like but he spent a chunk of time at PSV.

    Assume its this
    https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/a...after-being-booed-off-following-preston-loss/

    So disappointed about the game yesterday. But as we says and believe that FOXES never quit then is too early at this stage of the season seeing fans leave stadium so early when we are down by 1.

    "This is the best time we need you, You can’t be celebrating win with the team and don’t want to loose with the team. This is a game of football and you can’t be winning every time so we need everyone in both side so you can be proud to celebrate victories with the team, this is the time to stick together to be strong to make this team get what they deserve thanks to all the traveling fans for you amazing support but we need more

    Given we've got an option I'd be okay loaning him. He definitely needs to play regularly somewhere though

    Just need total three years before your 22nd birthday so he's comfortably within that even given the time he was at PSV

    Id loan if that's the only option but probably prefer to sell to let him move on with his career

    Lucemi and Fatawu would round off the perfect window mind.

    “Pingu” is saying on twitter there’s no truth in Fatawu

    Who knows, in short order as in this season or next, the Mags won't be able to say you never see A Mackem in Milan. Bring it on.

    Yeah probably. Just need to make sure we keep that squad balance for the medium term. It would probably put more pressure on us agreeing deals for Neil and (particularly) Cirkin as longer term homegrown contributors.

    Xhaka, Diarra, Sadiki, Le Feé. Neil, Rigg. What more could you want to add to that?
