    What a Bastard!
    Let's face it though, a young, talented, but raw, attacking midfielder isn't likely to have flourished under Bruce playing alongside Ritchie and Hayden!

    I think he’s still a bit slow and doesn’t work hard, bit of a Maddison so can’t see it happening.

    So we fly to Asia with one new signing, and as of today seem to be losing Trafford unless City sign Costa, with absolutely nobody else close. Weird situation.

    Quick one, we might be interested in Nkunku. Personally think that's a good signing, talented player, less than Pedro, versatile.

    Flipping the tone, we head to Asia a stronger team than we were at the start of the Window. We have been ambitious in the transfer market but have refused to be overcharged for players.
    With plenty of time left in the window we move onto alternative targets

    Suspect that it’s only a weird situation to those obsessed with us making new signings. To the rest of us it’s just a club going about its everyday pre-season business.

    We'll have 3 new players by the time we play Atletico Madrid on August 9th.

    Linked with Nkunku from Chelsea. More like it. Could be a top player with the right coaching.

    Don't think we absolutely need them. Would be nice to get an extra centre back. I am not a fan of large scale squad rotation and would rather use some of the young players on our books than bring in expensive players to play mainly back-up roles. Happy with Pope in goal. He makes some stupid mistakes but then so do most goalkeepers.

    That 'Teddy Bear' is a highly collectible item that people are fighting over in shops at £17.50 each.

    It's OK, I think Ekitike can afford the original.
