@JayNufc__ 'if we shop in that market' - being the PL loan one.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

I was looking through the potential loan striker options earlier this week and did think it would be funny if Chris Wood’s name would pop up. Very funny bit. For what it’s worth, the right answer is Emmanuel Emegha if we shop in that market. #nufc

@talks_tyne Think we might need to risk a few bad rep, high upside players in coming windows - while we don't have Europe to offer.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@FutbolNufc Wouldn't be my top choice in the striker market, but definitely the highest upside potential if you're looking purely at PL loan to buy deals.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@FutbolNufc I don’t know, BlueCo have ruined him on the last two seasons. So weird to get punishment for moving to the parent club, but he managed it. Think he’d have a point to prove and we need to shop in the risky aisle now we’re at such a low point.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@bensprattjourn Such an optimist.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

Levy, BlueCo and now Ineos/Glazers. Poch really knows how to pick the owners he works for…

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF

@S0uthernGe0rdie Bigger risk of building a disjointed squad if we keep changing the policy based on results. Club needs to stay strong.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@S0uthernGe0rdie Spoiled the answer, poor form…

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@alfieA1980 9 goals and 8 assists in all comps by November isn’t bad for a player that’s struggling…

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

If West Ham continue to struggle in the coming weeks, the smartest thing we could do in January is to try to sign Jarrod Bowen. #nufc

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@Yanited1892 Probably not, but its worth asking the question.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@ToonTakeover_ I wouldn't criticise a player for being happy at a club, especially one as big as West Ham. Would want us to ask the question in January, although if we lose a lot before then and they start to pick up, its probably not going to appeal to him.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

October 2020, we drew 1-1 away at Wolves thanks to a Murphy goal from outside the area. We were 14th in the league. Amazing how much changes in six years. #nufc

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@Bengn1987 @RichySouthern Good movement and a confident runner with the ball. Good ball striker as well.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@RichySouthern @Bengn1987 I liked him at Lille and think there’s a player in there, but he looks way off the Premier League pace and quality at the moment. Toure shown more.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@AllAboutTheToon I don’t think we were great, but it was a step forward. Can only become good by making these steps game by game.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

After all my criticism of Jaissle, I felt yesterday was a solid building block. Defence and midfield looked better. Created some good chances. We are still a poor team, but hopefully we’re starting to find the right eleven. Just need to work on the front four. #nufc

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@Willstayne Much better than previous weeks. Obviously not going to go from being utterly shit to being class in one game. Tougher to break down and we offered a threat.

[Jake Jackman @JakeJackmann]

@RichySouthern I try and be fair. It’s hard not to have confirmation bias when you already have views though. Not going to go from the last few weeks to being class immediately. Definitely a good step. Annoying we managed it terribly after scoring.
