Even when we were shite we are attracting players ahead of Villa.

He's developed considerably since leaving Man Utd like

Yeah but what if it doesn't work out. The next manager will be lumbered with th ex managers transfer dealings.

I don't think everything is going as planned. I do think Elanga would be a quality signing for us though.

Isn't this exactly what we've done.

Alex Ferguson was a massive admirer of Joe Cole who bizarrely never played for Man Utd.

Worrying.

Hold on, Chelsea I can understand but are we giving up hope straight away because he's linked with bloody Villa?

Let's move on.

Probably sound like an absolute misery here but I'm starting to feel like the Sam Fender/hat bloke with the saxophone is a worn-out trope at this point. Next musical feature in a promo should be Jonas... or Venom.

Maybe somebody complained about the Imperial Japan-esque looking flag.

Why reply to me you plum. We can't all be happy and think everything is going as planned.

Thought Villa were up against it PSR-wise? Sounds like bullshit to me to try and get us to put a bigger bid in.

Here's the actual article: https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/rb-leipzig-kein-angebot-warum-der-klub-angst-vor-xavi-rueckkehr-hat-68623be9de41a677fd5554b9 Translation of relevent part: However, according to BILD, there hasn't been any inquiry from any other club so far. Recently, rumors of interest from Champions League participant Newcastle have circulated. But the English club hasn't made any moves yet. It's also questionable whether Xavi is up for it. It's rumored that he'd prefer FC Barcelona, where he trained in the youth system. But the Catalans have financial constraints and, in Nico Williams (22/Athletic Bilbao), have a completely different caliber of player on their list.

When the mitchell news broke of him leaving after barely being here for a year it shows something is not right at the club. Either the board back the director of football and the system to find young talent or let the manager decide who he buys. If for whatever reason howe ever left us we'd be fucked with no dof who helps in recruiting managers and our playing philosophy.

Bit worried if Villa get him. Means you might actually spend the £60m on someone who's worth it.

Didn't Brighton want £60mill plus up front for Pedro ?

best of luck to Villa

On to the next one.

That's not what they said either tbf.

Are you just a permanent pit of misery?

Probably but not sure.

Howe doesn't appear to be ready to trust Osula yet. He had 168 minutes for the year. That means we rely on 30 year old Murphy with Gordon and Barnes as backup, which makes the LW vulnerable. We really need a RW and Bakayoko or Kang-in Lee would make much cheaper backups who would get a lot of playing time this coming season. Madueke would work if you must have PL experience. One of those signings let us spend on RCB too. I think that is where we need a ready made starter and it will be expensive.

Was he a massive admirer then?
