Am I the only one that thinks we win our first 3 games of the season and everyone will be on here singing praises?

Or is this going to be another season of people waiting on downfall? We need a cdm no doubt unless Jones is going to be converted full time to 6 and rotate with Baj someone I still think is completely forgotten about.

I have been of opinion all summer even after midfield clear out that we need a CB more than a Cdm but after seeing Quansah a bit in pre season (I know) but also reading the reviews about him last year he looks a player to my untrained eye.

Klopp has not shut up as well all summer about the special group of kids. He has also said we shouldn't rely on them but bar a Cdm / Jones playing at cdm we wouldn't be 'relying' on any and I would be happy to see a small squad with chances for many young stars to break through.

If we go into season as is I still make us almost a banker for top 4 let alone top 5 (I think Newcastle will note replicate form personally) Chelsea may be up there spurs won't Villa won't be ahead of us.

I do think we are a couple of signings away from having any potential to challenge for the league but we have a truly truly special and exciting front 5 plus subs and if it is somewhat of a transitional season further back with a lot of minutes for players coming through then me personally I'll be happy out as I don't see how we can play in a way that will make games not entertaining.

I may be in the minority but last season at times even when we won the football was just not entertaining and I think our team currently is set up to be entertaining. I think we may have some stupid results but I think at home we beat the bottom 12 or so easily and away probably 8 of them and then a handful of games from the rest that will put us comfortably top 4. I also don't rule out 2/ 3 more signings before the end of the window the team winning the first 3+ games of the season letting the wave of momentum build up and from there who knows!

To throw something out for debate that I haven't really understand is Isak has been getting a lot of praise by pundits and fans across the country. I think he has had a decent season no doubt but he has 11 goals and 2 assists in 1656 minutes of football.

Nunez has 15 goals 4 assists in 2365 mins.

I think it's fair to compare these players in the sense young enough players came for similar price first season in England and have mixed time of up front and on the left.

I just fail to understand why people seem to be a lot more sure that Isak will kick on while Nunez won't. Personally I amnt sure either will be amazing I think both will be good premier league players but the difference in perception over the last couple of weeks has been baffling to me.

Weird news but again I'll just pass it all on.

The attention grabber which feel free to remove Ed's if you're going to get too many annoyances.

Bellinghams team has cancelled meeting with Madrid for next week and FSG have or will contact Dortmund again to be kept up to date on negotiations.

Adrian will get new contract as very likely now kelleher will leave.

Despite what FSG have said there are still having discussions of a full sale of the club and are obviously to this if they are having discussions.

Expect more back room departures and the reason that the new sporting director hasn't been announced is apparently it is expected to only be a short term appointment of as short as 3 months.

One contact in regards to the full sale is apparently a bidder for United and are waiting to see what happens there.

Again just what I have heard and am aware that this tbh just sounds weird for the most part! Would also not be incredibly keen on being a backup to United in any way shape or form but there you go.

Hi all

Posted rumour a while ago after talking to a journo in London. Obviously doesn't look like all will happen especially re Bellingham.

Was talking to them again and had update on MacAlister.

Apparently he has told team mates he will leave. Brighton want 70 mill pound but are interested in kelleher which Liverpool are open to.

Brighton value him at 20 mill so want 50 on top we are looking to get the figure closer to 40.

On mount apparently he is not happy with the vision at Chelsea and is not sold on poch so we are now his preferred option.

Apologies if last post goes up half cut off.

Again the disclaimer of don't shoot the messenger just passing on what I've been told.
