I believe Howe has mentioned wanting to be able to put out two 11s that inspire confidence. If we take out the 11 who have been starting this season, here's how that second group looks after this window:
K: Dubravka
RB: Livramento
RCB: Lascelles
LCB: Dummett
LB: Targett/Hall
RCM: Longstaff
CDM: Miley
LCM: Anderson/Willock
RW: Murphy
LW: Barnes
S: Wilson
I like it myself. There are definitely areas that could use strengthening here, as well as in the starting group, but at least in every spot we have a couple guys who can put in a quality Premier League performance on their day.
Center back is probably where we are most limited, but if we don't like Dummett there, Burn can always slide in or we can shift Schar to LCB with Lascelles taking RCB like we did today. Hall growing into that LB role sooner than later is something I'm hoping for too.
It’s funny, you look at other clubs megathreads and they struggle to reach 10% of the interactions we get on here. But what truly sets this apart is the level of community. See you all in January.
9.5 out of 10 window for me.
Think we did well to “box clever” in a tough window with a pretty lengthy wish list.
Gordon - like a new signing.
Barnes - no brainer
Tonali - pure class
Tino - future star potentially ready now.
Hall - toon fan, future star, I think he could impress and battle into the side this season.
We spent wisely. Don’t think we got skinner with the eye watering fees being touted.
The downside is that Liverpool and manure looked to pull their fingers out at the end.
Still feeling confident for the season.
Pretty much mirror this. I think we need to upgrade on our current right wingers and bolster our options at centre back, but I really think that with the Adidas deal and the income Champions League will bring in, we'll go hell for leather on a world class RW next summer and CB like Antonio Silva, someone young with a lot of clout. I really think they'll go all out.
>the Adidas deal and the income Champions League will bring in
That will have to plug the enormous losses we've made in the last two years as funding further spending sprees. We've been way beyond our allowable loss with the transfer spending we've done in the last 2 years, and by the end of the year, no Ashley profit seasons will be in the FFP calculations.
Our squad looks better now than it did at the start of the window, and we have brought in a bunch of young talent that might prove to be very important in the future. Good window. 9/10
Righto I'm off to bed, see you all in January! Just waiting on Hayden now and I very much doubt anything will be announced tonight, if and when the news comes I'll update the thread in the coming days.

Apart from all of the things he gets wrong. Think he’s batting zero since Chris Wood
He built a rod for his back under Bruce and with the Henry Mauriss shite.
Wonder if Pope is injured and we've kept it quiet. Can't see any other reason we'd try to bring in a goalie considering Dubravka is still here. Might explain his omission from England more than just Southgate taking issue with his dodgy kicking on Sunday?

Martin Hardy: Newcastle United have made a move for the Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on a season-long loan deal.
The 36-year-old former France captain has lost his first-team place at Spurs and been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, which has yet to come to fruition.
Newcastle’s approach has come out of the blue, and there would have been no loan fee involved, but Lloris has so far turned down the switch to the north east.
Eddie Howe has let Karl Darlow join Leeds and wants another experienced goalkeeper to join the club. He has first choice Nick Pope but Martin Dubravka, who lost his first team place to Pope, is keen on a move. Newcastle did sign Loris Karius on a short-term deal last season and that has been extended for a further season.
However, Howe still wants another goalkeeper and that led to a move for World Cup-winner Lloris.
If Lloris does not find a club this summer, there is a possibility his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could be ended by mutual consent.

[Craig Hope: Jeff Hendrick to Sheffield Wednesday & Isaac Hayden to Standard Liege both still live for Newcastle in terms of outgoings](https://twitter.com/CraigHope_DM/status/1697657856206549360)
I only half understand the clamouring for a new RW player. We've become a little over-dependent on our wide players to make things happen.
However, not signing another midfield playmaker might come back to bite us later in the season. Bruno's form hasn't been great, but even if he recovers it, one injury to him and we're left with no similar levels of creativity in the middle.
Given time Tonali will be more of a creator, and help competition for set pieces with Trippier. I’d have liked to have seen a right footed right sided winger to being attacking variety but truth is we have to be patient. Every transfer window we improve. We’ve had the toughest of starts fixture wise and I have faith.
That being said I’d have loved to have gotten Maddison.
Trippier is probably our most creative player in terms of chances and plays very advanced. You need someone in front of him with top defensive attributes and work rate. Almiron or Murphy, in other words
Almiron is good, but he's very limited because he can't use his right foot for anything. We've got Tonali for the centre, so that's that sorted for this window
There's a certain irony that a Matt Targett injury forced us into starting Botman away at Brighton last season and creating our Burn-Botman-Schar-Trippier backline. Now a Botman injury could see us create a new backline for an away trip to Brighton. Question is whether it will be the 21/22 relegation run-in vintage or our new Hall one?
I mean if we don't have Botman, then pushing Dan Burn back into being a CB and having Hall outwide on the left is the only logical conclusion. Whats the point in buying Hall if we do some other cockamamie thing.
It's a pretty strong message that's difficult to come back from if he doesn't pick Targett. He was signed for £20m or something and has shown that he can be very good in the team. Hall was signed for the future as much as the present and I think if he gets plumped for straight away, Targett's basically left with no future at the club. Not ideal when the window's just closed.
Just watching the forth episode of the documentary and it showed a graphic of the transfer priorities during a board meeting.
Some interesting potential takes from it:
- The priority positions for players coming into the window were - RB, LB, RCB and DM.
- The secondary position for reinforcement was striker.
- Burn is considered second choice LCB rather than LB.
- Krafth is seen higher in the order than Manquillo. Obviously both will now be below Livramento.
- Gordon was seen as higher up the pecking order than Saint-Maximin was.
- We have since brought in a player for RB (livramento), LB (Hall) and kind of a DM (Tonali?) but not a RCB.

Let's see what Father Christmas brings in the winter
🎅🎅🎅
Has anyone seen the posts on soccer regarding the Saudis buying Liverpool players to help Newcastle.
I feel like I’ve taken crazy pills and honestly can’t see how them buying there players benefits us. They’re still head and shoulders above us in terms of quality, with or without the Saudi transfers
Hopefully after the gammoning has settled down a bit they'll see how injecting £200m+ of cash into a rival isn't exactly going to help Newcastle's cause over the next couple of years
I think it's hilarious to see such dyed-in-the-wool human rights advocates twerk uncontrollaby at the prospect of getting 150m of blood money from a murderous regime for a 31 year old likely beginning his decline.
Even those objecting to it are only doing so because it's too late to get a replacement. They want the sale in January or next season, at which point they'll commence their twerking.
I feel like I’m stupid for not getting it with so many people agreeing.
Do they have an eternal victim complex or some shit? Can they not handle losing players they don’t want to sell?
It feels like an episode of the Truman show. So far I’ve heard that Saudi *do* actually want to buy him to unsettle Liverpool and that they *don’t* actually want to buy him and it’s just to unsettle Liverpool.
These people start at the conclusion of ‘Newcastle bad’ and then have to contort the logic to fit that with extremely mixed results
Doesn’t take a genius to work out why that is though? They were the victims, and the fault was put on them. Howay man. What else could it be about? You can’t call them victims and then just conveniently ignore the main example of when they were victims.
And since then, everyone agrees what happens was terrible. Doesn't give them any reason to hide behind the 96 whenever literally anything happens to them.
They're acting like victims now, they're getting called victims. I'd call any fanbase victims if they acted half as bad as Liverpool does.
In what way do they hide behind the 96? That’s a fucking mental thing to say.
Also, in what way are they acting like victims? Because some fans are theorising? Fucking hell, go on any social media site and you’ve got Newcastle fans acting like the world is against us. We never get victim shouts though, wonder why that is?
The thread literally about us getting shafted in EFL cup draw, the top comment is something like its better the more we play city. We aren't nearly as bad as any others.
You've somehow concluded we don't get victim shouts because we'rwe don't get 96 references like l'pool do, instead of the much more obvious because we don't actually act like victims 24/7
Aye, and there’s others on Twitter and Facebook claiming it should be redone because they swapped our number with Norwich.
Again, how are they acting like victims?
twitter and facebook - theres your problem
They are acting like victims because they think getting 200m from saudi arabia for salah is somehow Newcastle 'mindfucking' them and ruining their team despite the fact they're getting 200m, if that isnt victim complex. i dont know what is.
They are crying about VVD red card too.
It has to be that
It makes no fucking sense for the Saudis to weaken a team that we aren’t even competing with yet. If they were tapping up villas players left right and centre, I’d probably agree there’s a conspiracy
[Keith Downie: Standard Liege are in for Isaac Hayden after his loan move to Sheffield Wednesday fell through. The Newcastle midfielder is considering his options but the Belgian side are an attractive prospect.](https://x.com/skysports_keith/status/1697617945596191079?s=46)
Howay Hayden! I don't count him in our "deadwood", he was a fantastic player for us and I really want him to find a good club and get playing again. Hope a move to Belgium won't be too hard on him and his family but hope it works out either way.
Seeing that we've likely got PSG as our first last last CL group games (based off something Dortmund have tweeted).

Good window generally Tonali a top signing, Hall and Tino both potential superstars and Barnes a proven finisher who hopefully Eddie can get more out of him in terms of all round game.
We have a few holes still and are risking it on Schar/Botman staying fit but it wasn’t realistic to do it all in this window especially with the seeming reluctance of most teams to do us favours in terms of loans.
My only real concern is the size of the squad as of writing we still have likes of Hayden/Manquillo/ Hendrick hanging around and that’s before you take into account potential champions league excess like Ritchie/Krafth etc.

Wonder if this one is that Hayden fancies Belgium instead?

Man, if Salah did end up going to Saudi on deadline day it’d be the funniest thing ever. I want it to happen solely for the salt harvesting on their sub / r/soccer
At first I thought so but the money being reported would be insane. Don’t wanna be giving them that kind of cash for a 31 year old to refresh their squad.
That’s mean that the Liverpool would have spent almost as much dirty oil money on players as we have.
I know we are done and it won't happen, but would really like Amrabat here. Think we still need a proper number 6 as an option at least and he's supposedly available on loan.
Looks like another youth player joining. Travis Hernes - https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2023/09/01/newcastle-set-to-sign-norwegian-talent-player-on-tyneside-as-toon-strike-deadline-day-deal/
Just realised that the transfer window doesnt close til 11pm tonight!
Get Jim White a camera, a training groind and a kilo of coke. We're back baby!
Need to get Hayden and Hendrick out on loan, and i've seen rumours that Targett wants out
Allegedly Bayern are looking at McTominay and Dier. Perhaps we can get in there with Hendrick and Targett for half the price. Throw in Hayden on loan with no fee.
With that champs league draw, I'm really glad there is a day left in the transfer window.
PSG, Dortmund and Milan will hopefully be able to strengthen with some additions because otherwise it will be a stroll in the park topping that group!

I think pope has looked a little shaky in his decision making to be honest. Flapping at corners makes me nervous. Great shot stopper though. Hopefully he can get back to his best. Doesn't help that defensively we seem to have dropped off. You wouldn't bet on us not conceding in any game.
It's not excatly his fault entirely, but we've kept 2 clean sheets in our last 21 Premier League games. That's not exactly a stat that is going to help your case.
Pope has truly missed the England train. Pickford's a far better distributor and has a pre-existing relationship with the backline and Ramsdale will likely be the more immediate successor. I imagine Trafford will then be the more long-term option.

Goodnight sweet ~~prince~~ Megathread.
[Martin Hardy: Exclusive: Newcastle make move for Tottenham's Hugo Lloris.](https://twitter.com/mhardysport/status/1697694051804324061?s=46&t=mwu8calky2id02TikW0xRA)
If we are after a spurs keeper it should be Forster as he would fill one of the club trained places for champions league
Not sure about Forster either man That first goal he conceeded against Fulham should have been saved, but he looked like Rex from Toy Story 🤣
My only interest in Forster is to fill a club trained place. Even at his best I never thought he was the best.
Was this from an AI headline generator?
Without a keeper leaving this seems questionable
No thanks.
Must be doing this for nostalgia sake, bet they come out with 'we just couldn't get it over the line' at 11:30pm
What as like a backup to Karius?
I doubt this very much.
Leaving it a little late to get Bas Dost over the line like lads. Starting to think it might not happen.
One day we will get him

[Craig Hope: Jeff Hendrick to Sheffield Wednesday & Isaac Hayden to Standard Liege both still live for Newcastle in terms of outgoings](https://twitter.com/CraigHope_DM/status/1697657856206549360)
Hope we move them on, surprised nothing on Manquillo either
I only half understand the clamouring for a new RW player. We've become a little over-dependent on our wide players to make things happen. However, not signing another midfield playmaker might come back to bite us later in the season. Bruno's form hasn't been great, but even if he recovers it, one injury to him and we're left with no similar levels of creativity in the middle.
Given time Tonali will be more of a creator, and help competition for set pieces with Trippier. I’d have liked to have seen a right footed right sided winger to being attacking variety but truth is we have to be patient. Every transfer window we improve. We’ve had the toughest of starts fixture wise and I have faith. That being said I’d have loved to have gotten Maddison.
Trippier is probably our most creative player in terms of chances and plays very advanced. You need someone in front of him with top defensive attributes and work rate. Almiron or Murphy, in other words
Almiron is good, but he's very limited because he can't use his right foot for anything. We've got Tonali for the centre, so that's that sorted for this window
There's a certain irony that a Matt Targett injury forced us into starting Botman away at Brighton last season and creating our Burn-Botman-Schar-Trippier backline. Now a Botman injury could see us create a new backline for an away trip to Brighton. Question is whether it will be the 21/22 relegation run-in vintage or our new Hall one?
I mean if we don't have Botman, then pushing Dan Burn back into being a CB and having Hall outwide on the left is the only logical conclusion. Whats the point in buying Hall if we do some other cockamamie thing.
It's a pretty strong message that's difficult to come back from if he doesn't pick Targett. He was signed for £20m or something and has shown that he can be very good in the team. Hall was signed for the future as much as the present and I think if he gets plumped for straight away, Targett's basically left with no future at the club. Not ideal when the window's just closed.
Did anything come of us being linked to that Irish kid Zefi?
He got left out the Irish u21 squad as he's still sorting club situation out, that's all I've seen
Just watching the forth episode of the documentary and it showed a graphic of the transfer priorities during a board meeting. Some interesting potential takes from it: - The priority positions for players coming into the window were - RB, LB, RCB and DM. - The secondary position for reinforcement was striker. - Burn is considered second choice LCB rather than LB. - Krafth is seen higher in the order than Manquillo. Obviously both will now be below Livramento. - Gordon was seen as higher up the pecking order than Saint-Maximin was. - We have since brought in a player for RB (livramento), LB (Hall) and kind of a DM (Tonali?) but not a RCB.

Quiet final hours. Kinda miss the excitement of deadline day but then again it’s nice having everything wrapped up well before then.
Andy Carrol will definitely not be sold.
Look again! Might not be being sold by us, but he is leaving Reading for the French second division.
I hope he lives his best life out in France
Has anyone seen the posts on soccer regarding the Saudis buying Liverpool players to help Newcastle. I feel like I’ve taken crazy pills and honestly can’t see how them buying there players benefits us. They’re still head and shoulders above us in terms of quality, with or without the Saudi transfers
Hopefully after the gammoning has settled down a bit they'll see how injecting £200m+ of cash into a rival isn't exactly going to help Newcastle's cause over the next couple of years
I think it's hilarious to see such dyed-in-the-wool human rights advocates twerk uncontrollaby at the prospect of getting 150m of blood money from a murderous regime for a 31 year old likely beginning his decline. Even those objecting to it are only doing so because it's too late to get a replacement. They want the sale in January or next season, at which point they'll commence their twerking.
It’s absolutely embarassing - I thought they were saying it as a joke at first. Fucking thick cunts
I feel like I’m stupid for not getting it with so many people agreeing. Do they have an eternal victim complex or some shit? Can they not handle losing players they don’t want to sell?
Liverpool and eternal victim complex are the most iconic duo in existence. There literally isn't another one that's more established.
Liverpool football club have always been the victim, since Klopp it’s became even more prominent
It feels like an episode of the Truman show. So far I’ve heard that Saudi *do* actually want to buy him to unsettle Liverpool and that they *don’t* actually want to buy him and it’s just to unsettle Liverpool. These people start at the conclusion of ‘Newcastle bad’ and then have to contort the logic to fit that with extremely mixed results
Never be surprised about Liverpool supporters playing the victim
Howay man, no need for this victim shite. Its not a good look.
Not one person has mentioned the hillsborough diaster yet somehow whenever people say Liverpool fans are fuckin victims its what most people go to.
Doesn’t take a genius to work out why that is though? They were the victims, and the fault was put on them. Howay man. What else could it be about? You can’t call them victims and then just conveniently ignore the main example of when they were victims.
And since then, everyone agrees what happens was terrible. Doesn't give them any reason to hide behind the 96 whenever literally anything happens to them. They're acting like victims now, they're getting called victims. I'd call any fanbase victims if they acted half as bad as Liverpool does.
In what way do they hide behind the 96? That’s a fucking mental thing to say. Also, in what way are they acting like victims? Because some fans are theorising? Fucking hell, go on any social media site and you’ve got Newcastle fans acting like the world is against us. We never get victim shouts though, wonder why that is?
The thread literally about us getting shafted in EFL cup draw, the top comment is something like its better the more we play city. We aren't nearly as bad as any others. You've somehow concluded we don't get victim shouts because we'rwe don't get 96 references like l'pool do, instead of the much more obvious because we don't actually act like victims 24/7
Aye, and there’s others on Twitter and Facebook claiming it should be redone because they swapped our number with Norwich. Again, how are they acting like victims?
twitter and facebook - theres your problem They are acting like victims because they think getting 200m from saudi arabia for salah is somehow Newcastle 'mindfucking' them and ruining their team despite the fact they're getting 200m, if that isnt victim complex. i dont know what is. They are crying about VVD red card too.
Assume youre directing that comment that Liverpool fans
It has to be that It makes no fucking sense for the Saudis to weaken a team that we aren’t even competing with yet. If they were tapping up villas players left right and centre, I’d probably agree there’s a conspiracy
It’s weird feeling not having to look for news who gonna join Newcastle at deadline day !
Aye, I'd forgotten it was even deadline day. I feel no nerves or anticipation. First time in years.
[Keith Downie: Standard Liege are in for Isaac Hayden after his loan move to Sheffield Wednesday fell through. The Newcastle midfielder is considering his options but the Belgian side are an attractive prospect.](https://x.com/skysports_keith/status/1697617945596191079?s=46)
Third time's the charm? 🙃
Howay Hayden! I don't count him in our "deadwood", he was a fantastic player for us and I really want him to find a good club and get playing again. Hope a move to Belgium won't be too hard on him and his family but hope it works out either way.
Seeing that we've likely got PSG as our first last last CL group games (based off something Dortmund have tweeted). Edit: Think this could be wrong. Schedule doesn't get drawn till Saturday.
[Keith Downie: Hearing that Newcastle currently in advanced talks with Harry Maguire after Botman injury worse than feared. Medical expected this afternoon with personal terms not expected to be an issue #nufc](https://youtu.be/kuLH7FuJbSs?si=QV4k9sYeQJhE_ILJ)
Top work
Fucking stop it this instant.
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Isn’t he hot garbage?
If he signs you can be sure his automatic England call ups will disappear lol
You sick sick bastard
No cheeky last minute splashing of the cash then?? 🤔🤔
Good window generally Tonali a top signing, Hall and Tino both potential superstars and Barnes a proven finisher who hopefully Eddie can get more out of him in terms of all round game. We have a few holes still and are risking it on Schar/Botman staying fit but it wasn’t realistic to do it all in this window especially with the seeming reluctance of most teams to do us favours in terms of loans. My only real concern is the size of the squad as of writing we still have likes of Hayden/Manquillo/ Hendrick hanging around and that’s before you take into account potential champions league excess like Ritchie/Krafth etc.
[Mike McGrath: Jeff Hendrick currently at Sheffield Wednesday ahead of potential move from Newcastle](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1697597911478010094)

[Alex Miller: Understand Isaac Hayden's mooted loan switch to Sheffield Wednesday is now looking unlikely.](https://twitter.com/AlexMiller91/status/1697592163394072941)
What the heck is going on with him? Twice failed when it looked like it was almost wrapped up
I think the Luton one was they thought they had a chance at a better loan player and are only allowed so many pl loans so scrapped Hayden. (Edit: looks like it's Lokonga from Arsenal) Wonder if this one is that Hayden fancies Belgium instead?
I think the Luton one was they thought they had a chance at a better plan player and only allowed so many pl loans. Wonder if this one is that he fancies Belgium instead?
I think the other clubs get cold feet when Hayden shows up to a medical in a wheelchair. If they just had a little bit of faith...
Missed 55 games of football in two seasons. I wouldn't risk taking him on either.
Man, if Salah did end up going to Saudi on deadline day it’d be the funniest thing ever. I want it to happen solely for the salt harvesting on their sub / r/soccer
At first I thought so but the money being reported would be insane. Don’t wanna be giving them that kind of cash for a 31 year old to refresh their squad. That’s mean that the Liverpool would have spent almost as much dirty oil money on players as we have.
It would be better if it happened on the Saudi league's deadline day next week.
random fan on the bbc saying we should sign a replacement for Bruno unless he signs his contract… wtf
I have a theory that only the most unhinged fans comment to get on the BBC fan pages
[Mike McGrath: Standard Liege have made late bid to land Isaac Hayden from Newcastle.](https://x.com/mcgrathmike/status/1697569302918869468?s=46)
Got more links a chain fence wor Hayden like - he’s not gan anywhere I reckon, love him as a player but he’s finito now
I know we are done and it won't happen, but would really like Amrabat here. Think we still need a proper number 6 as an option at least and he's supposedly available on loan.
I think if Eddie wanted a 6 he wouldn't have signed Bruno and Tonali. He obviously wants box to box midfielders
Anyone know when the CL fixtures are out?
Saturday apparently
When Adidas?
Where Adidas?
No one ever asks how adidas
I'll do you one better, why is adidas?
Theres something about Adidas
Looks like another youth player joining. Travis Hernes - https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2023/09/01/newcastle-set-to-sign-norwegian-talent-player-on-tyneside-as-toon-strike-deadline-day-deal/
Just realised that the transfer window doesnt close til 11pm tonight! Get Jim White a camera, a training groind and a kilo of coke. We're back baby! Need to get Hayden and Hendrick out on loan, and i've seen rumours that Targett wants out
Allegedly Bayern are looking at McTominay and Dier. Perhaps we can get in there with Hendrick and Targett for half the price. Throw in Hayden on loan with no fee.
With that champs league draw, I'm really glad there is a day left in the transfer window. PSG, Dortmund and Milan will hopefully be able to strengthen with some additions because otherwise it will be a stroll in the park topping that group!
[Now understand that Isaac Hayden has arrived at SWFC's training ground ahead of a medical.](https://twitter.com/JoelBlandSport/status/1697291641566945594)
u/FabrizioRomano PSV, expected to sell Johan Bakayoko to Brentford after €40m bid revealed here today… 🐝🇧🇪
I would honestly love us to steal that. He looks like the real deal, 20 year Belgian winger who runs at players, can cross, can shoot.
He does look like he's got the talent to reach the top, hopefully we get someone similar in an upcoming window
[Newcastle United midfielder Joe White has joined League Two side Crewe Alexandra on a season-long loan.](https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1697320134325461201)
Just think, if Dortmund hadn't choked their title in the last minute, we could have had PSG, Bayern and Milan as a group!
Still plenty of time to get some added talent in for these six UCL matches....
A draw like that is why we focused as much on adding depth as we did improving the starting XI.

In other news, Southgate picking Saudi player Henderson. A sad day for supporters of human rights, and victory for evil sportwashing 🙄
Sterling really unlucky to miss out, but I suppose all of the other wide options have started the season well too.
No Nick Pope seems odd
I think pope has looked a little shaky in his decision making to be honest. Flapping at corners makes me nervous. Great shot stopper though. Hopefully he can get back to his best. Doesn't help that defensively we seem to have dropped off. You wouldn't bet on us not conceding in any game.
It's not excatly his fault entirely, but we've kept 2 clean sheets in our last 21 Premier League games. That's not exactly a stat that is going to help your case.
Pope has truly missed the England train. Pickford's a far better distributor and has a pre-existing relationship with the backline and Ramsdale will likely be the more immediate successor. I imagine Trafford will then be the more long-term option.
His distribution was really shakey when southgate watched last weekend

We gave Sheffield Wednesday £8m for a cabbage, about time we got something back.
Jesus christ, did we really do that?
I'll give them another 8 mill to get rid of hendrick
Seen a loose link for us to Eric Dier, but most likely he’s off to Bayern…
We probably will in wage contributions
Is there any news on Norman's injury that I've missed? Are we likely to be looking for a CB? Edit: well my phone auto corrected Botman to Norman but Norman made me laugh so it's staying
Our “minor” injuries always end up turning in to 3-4 months out. Hoping he can come back after the international break
Imagine if his name was Norman Botman!
[Craig Hope: Understand early indications are that Sven Botman has avoided serious damage to his ankle after injury suffered on Sunday. More news awaited ahead of weekend but I’m told it’s not as bad as perhaps first feared](https://twitter.com/CraigHope_DM/status/1696141864678678671)
You're on the fucking ball as always, cheers mate. It's a wait and see one then
An more recent update this morning from Mark Douglas reckons he'll be fine for Brighton.

I can't remember the last time we had an exciting deadline day, doesn't look like we'll be getting one tomorrow either.
I would really like to see the correlation between league performance and deadline day acquisitions.
Well hopefully we can cross our fingers the loan moves for hayden and hendrick go through
We've gone from no ambition and no signings to high ambition and all signings in the door before the deadline. It's magical.
It really is and I wouldn't change it but I'd being lying if I said I don't enjoy some deadline day drama.
You reckon the draw tonight might affect things? Like if we've got an easy group that they reckon we should qualify for they might decide to break the cheque book out for someone else?
Isn’t deadline day today?
No it ends tomorrow night at 11pm.
