What surprised me most was something I read about the contacts he's established in South America, but I can't find the article. It was around the time they signed Matheus Franca straight from Brazil. It talked about the agent and footballing relationships he'd established globally.

This country absolutely hates sporting parity. The talk should be about giving Newcastle credit for the signing, and talking about how the likes of Isak can take Newcastle forward and make them a competitor going forward. Instead, it's the same nonsense as always, fantasizing about which of the top 4 he goes too. Cringeworthy stuff.

Funnily enough, Man United are after Freedman as well, but to work under Ashworth in a recruitment role. Looks like we're offering him a more senior role more in line with the one Ashworth vacated. Wonder if part of our delay over Ashworth, also has to do with us possibly looking to tie up Freedman first, as Ashworth would have had a role in sorting his move to Man Utd.

Vieira spoke really highly of him and the new guy Palace just brought in, Glasner, has too, and seemed very impressed by him. Seems to have really good rapport with the managers. Some really good stuff about him out there.

The article is not convincing at all when you read it.

So glad about this! Was sure they were going to pile on more misery. Fantastic news. Looking forward to him coming back in next season.

Yeah, I think people have forgotten how well he was playing back then. Ultimately played a big part in keeping us up so can't complain too much. His injury situation has been really unfortunate, because he's plenty good enough to be a member of the squad.

Kelly shares a lot of similar traits. Big, fast and athletic, but also comfortable on the ball and uses it well. The added bonus with him is he's really comfortable at left back too, and not in the Dan Burn way. The main difference is Tosin is really calm and cerebral and looks to time things more. Kelly is more aggressive in the challenge and can actually be a bit rash at times. I'd hope we get both tbh. Would be a great coup. Both really underrated because they are not at bigger clubs. If we get both they will show their quality and it will catch folks off guard.

I love this so much for us. Fantastic signing if true! He will surprise a lot of people. I've been wishing for the Super Eagles to get him on the team as England haven't had him involved.

They are always willing sellers provided their valuation is met, because they operate by the money ball system. Mbuemo is an incredibly effective and versatile player that suits our play style to a tee and still has room for growth. Seems someone like Neto gets all the hype and plaudits, but Mbuemo is just as much of a terror, and has been more productive. Mbuemo has 8 goals and 5 assists in only 22 games this season, after scoring 9 and getting 8 assists in 38 last year. Both Mbuemo and Wissa at Brentford are really underrated.

Hmmm ... I see people are trying to rush Iraola on to a bigger club already. Isn't this what we complain about when it's done regarding our players? He was very close to getting sacked early on, as the noise was out there it was coming, after a very rough start. But they stuck with him and it has paid off. Think he needs to show more than just one season personally. Let Bournemouth enjoy having the good hire they made at the helm for a bit. Geez.

Danilo is so bad man. My goodness.

Doesn't even have to come off his line there. The whole situation was under control. Strange guy man.

Yeah, could get interesting at Liverpool. That Michael Edwards is sharp though, so he might actually keep them stable, but let's see.

Done well in the Prem. Has stood out for them. At Blackburn I also recall seeing him down the right and the left at times. I wonder if he's someone we'd consider.
