Forum's gone to shit today.

We're not signing Vlahovic ffs.

Reading value Swift at £7m and he's out of contract in summer too. Similar age, probably better than Longstaff on current form.

Nah

14/14 TIME LEFT 05:29 Got a bit quicker when I realised I didn't need to type their first name

Just to add some detail to this - I'm saying we won't sign him in this window. Whether he joins us in summer is another thing

Real shame as I'm a massive fan of him, probably my favourite player at the club. I guess his injury history is the reason he's with us in the first place anyway.

Linked with Dortmund to replace Haaland.

Sevilla trying to sign him. Perhaps we could step aside in return for amicable negotiations for their centre back?

Attempt at comedy or not, the hundreds of "worrying" posts are fucking tedious already

I'm interested, why do people make posts like this? Just an attempt to appear ITK in the very slim chance that something happens? When you say "heard" I'm assuming you mean "read something on twitter"?

He's class. No chance though.

He's joking.

Wages count too.

Leeds certainly did.

I'm assuming the only reason Man City aren't in for him is that they're hoping to get Haaland or Kane?

The Gerrard link I guess. Would be a massive shame.

Yep, his interview after the match where he stuck up for Joelinton shows that he's a good guy, and very switched on. I just wish he could find a way to get out of the treacle he's always running though, then he'd be a great backup.

I'm 100% in on this one now. He's one of the best players I've ever seen play at SJP so turning our noses up at him would be mental. I realise he comes with big wages, but people talking about being up for a relegation battle need to keep in mind that teams with better players don't have to "grind out results". The results will just come because the players are actually capable of using the ball.

I'm almost as excited about our outgoings

We should keep him now as the only other options in midfield are Hendrick and Matty Longstaff. However, I fully expect us to bring in much better midfielders, in which case if we can get Digne as part of the deal we should 100% go for it.

We're not though. Norwich, Burnley and Watford are.
