That’s a wild fee for someone who’s played one pro season

That's genuinely some fantastic reffing. Good job.

Am I the only sad cunt watching this shite?

The new Kostas Mitroglu

At the same time we had amazing success with buying non prem at first with Bruno, Isak, Botman - later on Tonali then stopped. The prem players we bought were great also but it seems we can buy well from overseas so why not get excited if the club looks at them

It feels like they have unlimited funds from getting so many of these ‘risk’ signings right in the pass. They sell Joao Pedro for £60 and it’s balanced

Who knows with Brighton but if they want him chances are he’ll turn out decent.

I’d prefer this guy for his first name alone

And the reason we haven’t spent in the last three years is cos we were up to the limit. Our commercial is still piss poor and we have no hotels to sell, Chelsea will make so much more for their CL than we will due to how it pays out and we keep giving contracts to players like Lascelles and Wilson .

Replacement for JP?

There’s definitely risk there despite him being highly rated.

Spaghetti sacked

I had the gross outlay as £210m (which may be ambitious): Trafford - £30m Forster - Free Guehi - £40m Ederson - £40m Madueke - £50m Joao Pedro - £50m

I agree, but Isak was unfit for decent spells last season, Joelinton too, and Bruno playing almost every minute means he is going to burn out. We force lower half sides into making mistakes and gatecrashing the box as they don't have the quality to play through us. We used to struggle a lot more against sides who could play through us. Injuries and fitness issues forced us to adapt but I imagine Howe still wants to return back to what we're good at.

Proper Brighton move. I can’t stand them.

34m on a bairn from Greece is fairly risky and noncey like.

The LC win was fantastic, but it won’t have translated to much extra money in the coffers. The prize money is a rounding error in the club’s accounts.

No worries, didn’t take it as a dig. You might be right in some cases. But it’s also difficult to tell who exactly has said exactly what. I for one am very excited about JP. I think he would be perfect even if we might have to pay a bit too much. Sometimes it’s just right to “buy it nice or buy it twice”. I’m like that in real life myself.

Some outlets reckoned Arsenal would get Isak for £70m man 😂😂 seems we should be keeping these players warm for the “big teams”

Burnsie 🤯

Really? Some might have done so, not many from what I’ve noticed. Have you noted all this down so you know it’s the same people who have praised every other clubs target and called ours shit? You could be right to a degree tbf. I have been excited about many of our targets and links. But if I don’t rate someone like DCL or Elanga too much then I’m gonna say it. When it comes to other clubs I’ll do the same. I’ve praised some signings and I’ve laughed at some. It’s not exactly uncommon is it? In this particular case I said he “could” be a class signing for them. I’m not saying that he absolutely will be. We’ve been linked to him as well. And if I remember correctly then I said I’d be excited about him despite never seeing him play. Not sure if on here or some other place but yeah.

Didn’t mean him - his agent is actually what I was angling at, maybe always after a deal for him but I agree with you on him. He seems really down to earth.

Think for the prices we'd be quoted from the selling clubs, you'd be looking at an outlay of atleast £250m for all that lot. I'd be stunned if we ever forked out that much in one window, especially under PSR rules. Not forgetting the wages that would need to be added in aswell.

You called Chelsea being interested in a player? Well done, they're not interested in many players these days so great call pal.
