Genuinely thought the Longstaff chat was a wind up. 

It seems that there are a few Championship clubs...Huddersfield, Blackburn and Sheffield United...wanting him on loan, but Newcastle want him to go to Aberdeen. 

Let's hope he didn't watch tonight's game.

There is a huge element of frustration though that...once again.... we've waited until being knocked out of Europe, and the league cup, before strengthening a squad that so obviously needed players around 3 months ago. 

We're not unique in this. But it seems to me that the club almost think that the first 10 games or so of the season don't really count, and that we can merrily begin taking things seriously from the beginning of September.

I think there is an issue with the timing of our season and transfer window in this context. We are aligned to England whose clubs get to start their European football later. Its a big disadvantage compared to the leagues we compete against.

Lots of outlets running with it 

 

Noookassel seem desperate for him to come to us. I suspect they believe he'll get more 1st team football with us than with a Championship club. 

Which is probably true. 

Maybe they they haven't looked at the result tonight and think he's going to get European experience ? Lol. You fools.

Is this Longstaff chap good then?

Good to see Watkins signing. Doesn't quite make up for that abysmal performance, but if he can recapture his form from the start of last season he'll be cracking for us.

Pretty sure him and his brother strolled a game v Man Utd at a combined age of 30 a couple of years back. Don't think he gets a look in because Steve Bruce.

On the subject of squad building, it's difficult. Players will hold off until as long as possible before the English clubs know what they're doing. By that point our season is already underway.
