      No (proper) football to look forward to for 10 days.

      Man, this is the worst time.

      Let's hope for some positive contract news.

      He's hoping for a bumper transfer to one of Europe's big hitters in the January transfer window...
      Weird situation altogether...

      International break is a whole better when it’s off the back of drubbing that lot 3-0! I’m still savouring it. However, some contract news would be VERY welcome between now and our next game.

      If he comes in he will add depth as I expect VVD to sign and extension

      After yesterday's game my arl fella who went said he's lthe only one of the three he'd give a contract too. In his opinion he'd cash in on Trent and Mo.

      Every time I see Van de Ven play for Spurs, I can't help but feel like we missed a trick by not going for him. He's quick, decisive, and strong. He also seems to be one of those center-backs who prefers to fix mistakes rather than prevent them in the first place—a trait that could have been gradually improved by playing and training alongside someone like VVD, especially since they're fellow countrymen which is always a plus in terms of communication.

      He has that one key thing that helps any CB - pace

      Andre and Gomes currently bossing Newcastle.

      £36m they paid for both, will end up getting £100m+ in a year or 2.

      Whoever the guys Forest and Wolves have as their external scouts for that region, we'd do well to pick them up.

      Forest ?

      And wolves pretty much get the players from Portugal via Mendes

      Yes, Nottingham Forest....you know, the team that beat us yesterday.

      Were Joao Gomes and Andre signed from Portugal? Ok LiP.

      Which “external players” within Forest are you looking at to show that their scouts are ones to look at 🤷‍♂️

      And is that the same Andre we looked at last summer and Jan

      And yes Mendes deals with Andre and also Gomes - nothing to do with scouts 🙄

      Their CB who happened to be their MOTM yesterday.

      Mendes is just an agent. He doesn't work for Wolves. I'm talking about the people at Wolves who look at Gomes and Andre and think they'll be good signings and them sign them for bargains.

      Murillo you mean ? He is decent enough but they have brought in about 40 players in two years - success rate debatable

      And Mendes is more than an agent with Wolves

      How did that end up?

      Might be a reason we didn't buy Andre under Klopp!!

      Andre went off and they concede 2  :lmao:

      He had a pretty solid game, far better than any Newcastle midfielder, including Guimares.
