It does feel inevitable we will fund them stealing our targets

Smokescreen who we’ve 100% identified as a target and bid for 🤣 We have to face the fact we can’t compete with Chelsea etc in terms of wages and fee (at this moment in time) and probably next 4-5 years until we increase turnover We could end up with a better player elsewhere but in terms of smokescreen (nah nee chance)

Bet that sale is aleady in the bag

Simons is too expensive. Especially considering the number of areas we need to strengthen

I really don’t see how Chelsea line up, unless they are selling Jackson to Saudi or something

Erm, no. Last season was a very good one for Chelsea. Won a trophy and qualified for the CL which was their top priority. They achieved that, so it was a successful season for them. They're not in a position to challenge for the PL or the CL, and won't be for a few years yet, which they themselves realise. This is not the Chelsea of 5 or 10 years. For us, it was a great season because we won a trophy. Going only by the league form, it was a good season for us, not a great one. I must say, I do get tired of the inferiority complex on here, at times. I understand it, but you don't need to keep saying it out loud.

DCL is horrendous, he can’t even score goals when he’s fit.

I’d take him for 45m for sure. edit: Well…not me, personally.

Because of his toxic ego

Could see us being interested at that amount or slightly less tbh I'd rather go for Scalvini though (allure of the unknown foreign player doing heavy lifting for me on this one as price would probably be similar enough)

And funding our rivals.

How did this guy go from the striker everyone in the Premier League wanted to buy to signing for Fenerbahce 12 months later?

Whilst Saudi saved us from Ashley they ain't half single handedly destroying football

Hopefully Pedro is a smoke screen and our real target is someone else

The minute we do, it gets leaked and suddenly Chelsea will want him

Watch Parish drop his pants for them and be like “sorry I asked you to pay so much, does £5m sound good?”

“Re-start their ambitious plan”? What is this plan, sign players form massively inflated transfer fees and then sell them for nothing back to clubs after six months because the players don’t want to play in that league?

Nah, where the arena was. The developer who wants to buy it for housing is struggling to get funding, Sadiq Khan sent a plea to Chelsea earlier this year to get in touch with him about the site and they have now held meetings with him.

I saw that news credited to some saudi sport site. Romano is of course doing his job and getting clicks.

I don't want DCL at all, not as second or third choice. I'd sign a backup to Isak that Osula can compete with and Osula can also cover for RW when needed.

Shame for that area, even more of a shame that Chelsea still exist

I mean if we wanted to keep Wilson and still sign someone to play striker, then is Wilson going, DCL in and still signing someone who can play up front such a bad deal? Just feels logical if that’s what Howe had penciled down as his squad for 25/26.

Station?

Because Everton had a good 15 game spell, where if im correct, he didn't play much? Admittedly because of injury but there's a very good player in there for a very very good price.

From what I have seen of him I would agree. However, I just can't see it happening. He is surely going to be out of our budget for transfer fee/wages combined and one of the big boys would jump in if we were able to get it to be affordable.
