    When Howe was asked about how confident he was, his reply was 'alot'

    And he rarely gives anything away. Usually a very conservative and diplomatic answer.

    Did he? I’ve just watched it and I didn’t hear him say that? Unless I somehow missed it which is possible.

    I would like to refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.

    Absolutely. It'll be fascinating to see what's next, with the 9 clearly on the table for someone, presumably JSL. Lopez would be some statement and presumably Barnes is gone - he hasn't looked even remotely here all season.

    I like the way we go about our business all on the quiet
    No one knows until it happens

    All the rumours for the players we were allegedly after created a lot of noise and led to nothing
    It makes you wonder if we were seriously in for half of them

    You have to say we were in for Pedro, Ekitike, Sesko as there were well publicised bids. But I rate Woltemade as the best of the lot - I think we didn't feel we had a chance with Bayern sniffing but when they wouldn't pay up we approached quickly and it seems a great match. We got what we deserved in the end.

    Odd that Bayern pulled out but now seem to be in for Jackson instead. Unless they can only afford a loan deal for this season and Stuttgart only wanted a transfer fee. But hopefully our gain.

    That’s what I think it is. FFP in Europe is stricter than the PL.

    We took advantage because we could pay up front.

    We have two players in the first 11 over 6 ft 6.

    If we can’t score from set pieces then our set piece coach needs to be sacked.

    Watched this. The kid seems like a nice lad and is saying a lot of very positive things and I think he will fit right in with the younger players.

    One or two short of a very very good team. Possibly could challenge for the top 4 with ease.

    I think we will be in and around 3-6 positions this year. A lot of the cartel clubs have bought a lot as well. Spurs will be in and around also.

    Another striker and a ball playing midfielder (Lopez) and we will be cooking

    They had 3 birds rejected for around 50m. The rumour was they were pulling out and would look to buy him next season
