Well we don't want that, that is ridiculous. We must be able to find a competent reserve keeper for a sensible fee.

To be fair, we do need a reserve goalkeeper. You can't just not have one :-) He was cup tied for the Milk Cup.

I can help you with one of them. Jerry Garcia was the lead singer of the Grateful Dead. He is dead, so presumably out of contract and available...

I read a article on the BBC about our 'shopping list' and it mentioned Isak. There were around 700 comments underneath, almost all of them from...

Once in a generation is a ridiculous label. I wouldn't even call Saka that..... Saliba, maybe.....

He had a difficult night. Most of them did. I don't think he stank the place out but PSG were a bit too sharp and a bit too clever for him. I don't...

No! It was a gamble, brought about by financial restriction. It went horribly wrong but I don't think you can blame him too much for it. It is...

Right, but Sterling didn't. He's been awful. And we knew that was a risk. Letting ESR and Vieira go put us at risk if Odegaard got injured. That...

Yes. Because they are mad. Well, the good ones are :-)

I was glad he did. Still not sure whether I was wrong or not.

He looks every inch the Italian defender. But he is always injured. The whole point of an Italian centre back is to injure other people.

No!! That is a top class centre forward. You don't play him anywhere else. Anyway, Newcastle would blow up the Tyne Bridge before they sell him...

Precisely.

To be fair, he has had a decent PL career. And yes, we got a great fee for him :-)

Nketiah and Balogun were a huge success. We got around 60 million for the pair :-) That paid for Havertz :-)

I think the point there is that 100 million wouldn't get him.... it would be 120-150, and that is probably our entire budget, maybe over.

Agree re Jesus. I am going to annoy some people here but I think the chances of us signing a striker who is substantially better than Havertz is...

True, but we played with two strikers then. Now we only field one (if that!)

What about Havertz? :-(

True. We knew we were short in attacking areas this year, and that is before we knew Sterling was utter ****e. Two injuries and we are basically at...

Actually, I think he is a bit funny looking.

And I think he is our most technically accomplished midfielder, by some distance. Find a better player and let's see how much they cost..... The...

For me it is simple. We have not performed anywhere near as well as we can, and that is disappointing. If we weren't very good, I'd be delighted with...

I would take finishing 5th. Who gives a ****? As long as we are in the champions league, the rest is vanity.

Agreed. And Partey- no! Replacing him would cost money we dont have.

That was a genuinely great save. But over the two legs they were better sides. We had our periods where we had them on the rack but we didn't score....

Either way, it isn't a list you want to be in, is it :-(

He had a difficult game tonight. Caught on the ball by better players than he is used to facing. But he is incredibly young and has had a...

Need midfielders and wide forwards.

Dreadful is a bit harsh. Disappointing is probably closer. Maybe very disappointing
