We did came very close to getting him and Nickson is a big fan, been brilliant for Strasbourg this season and Chelsea haven’t gave him any minutes in this shit world club cup.

Not gonna lie, I'm slightly worried.

For the most part, Ascensio was poor for Villa.

Why?

Really hope we don't go for him.

Feels very West Ham. Potentially the mackems?

We wanted him before he went to Chelsea i think.

Away demon

Looks like DCL's back on the menu, boys!

bet you don't have a clue about the clubs business!

Another player we've missed out on. PIF clearly not interested.

Andrey Santos still not getting any minutes for Chelsea, he had a great season in France last year and we scouted him at Vasco. Still only 21 Brazilian and would be perfect cover for this season, we should be all over it.

For somebody who quits once a month, they sure come back quite quickly.

Be great to get this over the line. Not sold on him personally but think it will do a lot for the feeling around the place to get a deal done.

Apparently Chelsea are also looking at getting Kudus in too . I live in hope that at least one player rejects them, for the love of God. If not, cool. Another clown for their circus.

Update:

Old and expensive. We can't afford players of this profile sadly.

Yeh. It’s the profile I liked most about Pedro. There’s no obvious backup in the league of that same profile. Might require 2 players or someone from left field.

Kluivert would be my number one choice if he wasn't predominantly a left sided player. What about Ascensio? Proved he can do it on the premier league, one year left on his contract so probably available for a lowish price (helps with the inevitable high wages).

Even though we have priority positions, I do feel like our strategy is more something like... "For the price, is this person a quality long term investment?" I don't think we have issues going foreign, but they need to be as guaranteed as possible for us to do it. It will be very much known European talent that other clubs like Chelsea have passed on for whatever reason.

Nowhere near 50/50. Their squad is poor. Just taking the play offs for example, in all 3 games they conceded chances that the other team didn’t take, and took their few chances. When they come across Premier League teams, those chances are not going to be missed. The domination they let the other team have with the ball is going to open up even more chances. The player who dragged them over the line in the semi-final scored an own goal, and gave away a penalty the last time he played against Premier League opposition. The guy who got them over the line in the final had already signed for Brighton. For them to stay up, it will take a Nottingham Forest like season run of over performing on XG for, and XG against. The only real Premier League team you could say that have a chance of going down is Wolves because they have lost their main man and don’t look like having the money to replace him. West Ham maybe shit, but they have the experience to know how to win shit mundane to see them to safety. There are question marks over Brentford with them losing their manager and best players, but they will no doubt already have a book of players who they can buy to bring in and replace them. By all means the manager they have now was brought in with taking the managers roles at some point in anyway, and if he doesn’t work out, no doubt they’ll move quickly to replace him with someone who will. On the face of it you could say that Everton having their players another year older would also put them into trouble, especially as some of them have already left the club. At the end of the day, how many teams do you think will drop down to that level where they are in a relegation battle? 1, maybe 2? Are Sunderland then in a better position to overtake them as well as Leeds, and Burnley?

Decent shout, looking at another massive fee considering Bournemouth don't need to sell.

Will getting played like a piano again. Give up the ITK gig son.
