Given how long both Botman and Lascelles are out for, CB is priority number 1.

Hadn't seen their fixtures

Cucurella continuing to be that player that people tell me is good but is always trash when I watch Chelsea.

Did read a hilarious post on Arsenal-Mania that they were gonna offer us £50m + Nketiah for Isak.

In London it would be closer to £20m.

The buyers were PSG who were literally throwing money around for fun at that time. The problem was we had JFK as director of football who couldn't even pronounce Cabaye's name. Negotiations were doomed from the start with that idiot.

Cabaye was worth at least double what we sold him for. Don't re-write history to pretend that everyone wasn't gutted with the paltry fee we got for him and then having him replaced by Jack Passback.

Meanwhile clubs like us, Villa, Brighton and West Ham being clever about our business.

Plus he had to have surgery in the summer as well.

Well they've never been one to sell their major assets in any venture. Also this club bluffs a lot these days, so saying we need to sell to buy could just be a negotiating tactic.

When you can't sign Bruno or Isak, just join the club they're already at as DOF.

Well the issue is you have to sell high. Selling Yohan Kebabs for pennies wasn't the one.

"Hello? Yes we need as much money as we can get for the Premier League. Saudi billions? No that's too much."

This club, but not this regime (so far).

I always think of Rene Higuita. Madly entertaining but if he was my team's keeper I'd be having heart attacks every game.

I think he's replaceable and his record here isn't amazing. I feel he's most responsible for the Tonali mess by not doing proper due dilligence or being suspicious of the low fee, Joelinton magically signing a new contract as soon as Dan was in his garden.

Villa have been copying our homework for a few years now.

Got Ayoze into a contributing forward as well.

Problem is, its easy to look at Ashworth at Brighton, Pedro Braz at Benfica and say "They sell players for huge fees and another just comes along to replace them". That's the whole club structure at the end of the day. We're only getting one moving part of that.

I bet his garden doesn't even look that great either.

Gallagher has to be looked at through the £50m price tag and FFP lense.

Maybe you should find some money first.

And "Get ins" when the opposition scored.
