Joselu Mitro and the other strikers

[Jammy89]

- Townsend and James McCarthy were the main targets last Jan

Makes sense but both would of been majorly expensive.

- Rafa blocked Darlow being sold as he wasn't convinced he would get the funds for a replacement

I don't think he'd of been wrong either. He'd of been told he had Krul, Elliot and Woodman.

- Relations between the press and the club were so strained during the McClaren/Pardew/ Carver era that McClaren eventually convinced someone at the club to provide biscuits for journalists at press conferences which was seen as a bit of a breakthrough

Sad but can well believe it.

- Sissoko and Thauvin fees are coming in I small instalments.

We knew about Sissoko but I personally didn't about Thauvin - was that a general known thing?
