OTF

So French.

They've basically agreed the verbal, but not at all legally binding 'get them on the hook' fee.

We're interested in Lewandowski I heard.

Would have been funny if the combined bid was £30m

Yup, there's so many people involved someone guaranteed to blab. Even if it's their agents who are keeping their options open.

Must have worn out his old Bournemouth gear. Can imagine it was a tough decision for Staveley and co when he came back with a demand for a full Castore wardrobe before he would sign.

There's no way in the world that would happen. I don't think we will have a DoF before our fate for the season is determined, understandably so.

Wouldn't want to catch him on his day on. I'd say they both look like they'd slot straight into the cast of Are you being served.

I feel bad saying this about him given his age, but he's a certified fart sniffer and there no way around it.

Big fall from grace for Solksjaer (far right).

I'm actually glad to see Jones looking comfortable and happy. Seemed for a while that he was in a difficult position having been associated with the Bruce era despite being there because Bruce was incapable in every way.

FYP

I guess the expectation is that we've already made contact on those deals allowing the selling club to investigate their options and decide that yep price gouging is the best option.

I'm off liquids for the rest of the week.

Since Trippier and Wood arrived we've averaged 2 points a game, a few more through the door and we'll be ripping 4 or 5 points a game. #Europe #It'sMaths

This definitely changes the feeling for the next week and a bit leading into the end of the window. A few players in and it's like a reboot with some positivity around the place and the potential for some dry/clean sheets.

Curious that....

The more I see that free-kick the more I like it. Jonjo knows that although Meslier is set up near the back post he's going to head to the near post as the ball is struck.

Fraser. Remember that he has to take 1.5 steps for every average grown-up step.

Fuck yes!!!!!!@@@!!@@!@#^#%@%%!$$@$!

This ref has it in for ASM.

Actual very good interplay ASM.

The curious case of Sean Longstaff

Such a lazy pass ASM

Absolutely text book.
