So if recent rumours are to be believed we’ll possible sign Gallagher, McKennie and Barkley and lose Douglas Luiz, with an outlay of approximately £15m ish. Gallagher isn’t a million miles away from Luiz currently, and we’ll have so much more depth, plus we’ll probably be better off in terms of PSR too because the Dougie sale will practically be all profit on the books because he’s been here so long. It’s not as mad as it sounds in my opinion. 

He’s probably the best we could have got in the circumstances, but I pray this is his final game with us. 

Nice to see an early departure, hopefully some more deadwood to follow soon. 

I actually can’t quite believe we’ve done it. We’ve been so close in the past, and it seemed like it might never happen. I think back to the O’Neill days and blowing a 10 point lead over Arsenal, including that famous 2-2 against Stoke. It seemed like we’d never be able to get over the line, but to think what Unai Emery has done with half of the team missing for what seems like months, it’s quite remarkable. There is no doubt that he should be manager of the season. I can’t wait to see who we can attract in the summer. 

I don’t know about the players, but I need a summer break. I feel drained. 

I don’t think I could take the disappointment of missing out on 4th now. Man City had better turn up tomorrow. 

He was shining in The Championship at the start of last season (I think). There’s no way he’ll drop to League One imo. 

I can’t imagine we let him go because of FFP. We’d be saving 5 months of wages, a drop in the ocean really. I think at the time he said he wanted regular first team football because of the Euros, obviously this hasn’t worked out for him. 

My worry is that Man City won’t need to beat Tottenham. Arsenal are away to Man Utd on Sunday I think, and it’s the type of game United could pick something up. If Man City are happy with a draw vs Spurs then that could spell trouble. 

At least that last 20 minutes show that Liverpool can be got at.

Realistically we’ve already got enough points. Just need Liverpool and City to turn up. 

Seems to be a strategy of ours to go for one big free transfers each summer. Kamara 2 years ago, Tielemans last year, and now possibly this. Big wages no doubt, but a hefty sum saved on fees. 

Seems like a good source. 

We’ve been linked for quite a while, not sure how reliable the source is.

Is he playing on Sunday? If so I think Emery might need to change the way he sets the team up. 

2 goalkeepers? 

What an absolute stinker he’s had tonight. It really couldn’t have gone much worse for him.

Someone do the maths. I reckon we must concede 2 a game with this guy playing.

Brings absolutely nothing.

Conceded 4 goals from 6 shots. He’s just not very good. The opposition have pretty much scored twice before kick off whenever he’s named in the team. 

I’d imagine a Championship loan will be the next step for him. 

He’s brain dead at times. Booked for a needless foul, then does it again 5 minutes later. Lucky not to be sent off. Similar to the Brentford game - just needed to avoid a booking to escape a 2 match ban, and gets himself booked in the 97th minute.
