? Great news eh?

Kraft played 8 times for Sweden this year so can't be that bad. And if he is bad for Newcastle in the PL he may be better in the Championship

I don't think he's a bad player at all, but he's not at all similar to Kenny. He's not particularly quick and doesn't seem to get forward to cross the ball much (4 assists in 4 years). He is more like a CB playing out wide than the other way around IMO.

And Odoi does all that perfectly well so not an upgrade.

Agreed. Odoi is actually better both defensively but even more so in possession in my opinion (with the caveat that I have of course not seen them in quite the same environments). I have seen Krafth quite a lot, and to me he doesn't strike me as anyone fitting in at all with the way we play. Might as well just go with Odoi and Sessegnon as extra backup. Very disappointed with these rumours, but as always in such situations I hope I am wrong should we acquire him.

We will sign a CM and a RB before 11. My guess is Grimes and that bloke from Villa.

I don't think anything will happen now, it's far to late to get anything across the line unless it's a loan

But almost every window for several years we have concluded business later than this, haven't we?

Really hope not. Never been interested in these players who CAN play CB and CAN play RB but not fully suited to either position.

Think the Villa player is going to France, if we are talking about the RB.

Guilbert the right back of villa gone to Strasbourg

Zambo extended his contract before leaving. Wtf

FFP. Same reason Mitro did.

That logic doesn't stand up at all, especially when you include Mitro in the argument who has clearly stated he's very happy here (even with us yo-yoing around). Sure it may be the case with Frank, or Frank may be on a great deal with us and may struggle to get better anywhere else - Or frank is actually a good guy, who does like being at the club and with our squad and wants to play for us in a successful team. Likely to be one of those three options.

It makes perfect sense. Mitro's happy to extend because it's guaranteed money and no skin off his nose if we want to re-feinance his transfer on our balance sheets.
Anguissa is less happy at Fulham but apparently happy enough to stick around another year and collect £3m.

In all those two fiddles have created £3m on the FFP accounts for this year, for whatever purpose. We could actually engage in all sorts of shenanigans with the contracts of Seri, Mawson, Cav, Knockaert, and BDR if we really wanted to.

Actually, I can't find any confirmation that he's gone to Strarbourg, just rumours

Don't think these interpretations are mutually exclusive. Yes these extensions spread the amortisation and maintain our bargaining strength on a sale a year from now. But they also put us on the hook for the player's wages for an additional year. So I don't think we'd extend unless we also thought the player could end up being a useful player for us next season, in the event that we don't sell them.

Chalobah to #FFC now developing, talks on.

Quina also from Watford on loan too is a rumour

[Caedal]

Quina is an attacking midfielder isn't he?
