BBC gossip column has Ajax and PSV as potentially interested in Anwar El Ghazi, the former as a potential replacement for Anthony if Man U sign him.

We should have signed Dawson from the Baggies when we came up, I reckon we'd have had a lot less stress had we done so.

They may have sulked and refused to do business with us after we pwn'd them at pens.

Steer staring out Holgate in the walk up to the penalties is one of my favourite on-pitch non football moments of recent years

Jed was brilliant in that shoot out.  He played well in the play-off final too.

Dawson would be a good signing, was virtually an ever present for West Ham last season.

I don't think Dawson will be good for us.

He's great in a compact organised defence but the way we get pulled apart his lack of pace will get shown up terribly.

Maybe the manager needs to find a way for us to not be quite so bloody open all the time. No central defender, pace or not, would enjoy playing in this side.

Finding it strange in all this transfer window madness that no one is looking at Ward-Prowse.

Maybe we will go in for him again and come back with Che Adams.

yep that's the immediate flaw in your correct comment.

We are likely going to start the season with 5 defeats from 6 games. I wonder if the club have just pulled the plug on supporting Gerrard any further in the market. I know I’m probably being cynical and paranoid.

I get that we've got some dodgy stock at the moment but sometimes the best thing to do, like in the first episode, is chuck the lot in the river. We did it with mcCormack

Me too. It was utterly fabulous.
