Provided we get 2 (hopefully 3, sod it lets be greedy and saw 4 for fun) in by window close I am not too bothered who they are. I trust the transfer team and those running the club and more so I trust Howe and co. to get the best out of the players that come in. The slow build is real but we have kept our cards so close to our chest we need open heart surgery to locate them. The surgeons are just preparing.

CHO is obviously off somewhere in the next day or two. Just not convinced at all its us. I know he is a project we probably don't need but he is still so young and versatile. Can potentially cover as a wingback if we switch to 3 in the centre too. End product has long been a criticism even if he was slightly better the last last year or two.

Would think if we are budgeting 20-25 for a striker. CHO would be around the same or a loan. We might still be looking big going back for Maddison or bidding for Gallagher/another big target.

Quite happy no Nunez when we play them but them dropping points likely means Man City will be salivating next game!

Might free up Gallagher to move.

Hell yes. Would be a class addition. Another I would be shocked to see end up here though.

So we may have lodged the bid and had it turned down last week and then after turned to Ramos?

Yes they said he isn't for sale.

Just give Watford wood and then bring in Pedro and Ramos.

That would be a random move. Chelsea signing Gordon is odd. Maybe they will loan him straight out to us lol

Completely lost his head afterward marking no one when Kane scored.

Looks like she just laid down our lucrative first offer of 5m for CHO, Gallagher and Broja.

We are merging

So what your saying is give them 40m plus Chris Wood?

Based on completely nothing I really feel the plan was to be left doing that at this stage. We had likely hoped to have had the winger and backup striker in. Then we would have been primed in the last part of the window to snap up and young players to pad the first team/reserves and move a couple more on if anyone else unmissable came available. As it is we are likely now waiting until window end for the Winger/Striker and with a more urgent need for another creative mid with shelvey gone.

IF we were in for Gallagher and Ramos, we have to be getting 3 in before window end. We can't go with what we have and not get another winger.. can we? Not fully convinced by Gallagher but the likes of he, Harrison, CHO, Broja, Gordon and obviously Maddison would all be great additions that both improve us and can hit the ground running. Also all saleable assets. We will have to pay through the arse for that prem experience if that is what we want.

I believe I made a mistake.

Fans can't even sort their shitty banner out.

Lets hope Fergie isn't watching. I fear for his health.

WOW

Going well for Manure What the hell is DeGea thinking lol

It's canny interesting the whole Nick Pope shenanigans. He is a solid keeper but just seems like he is a down to earth run of the mill character. This kind of raises his public profile and likeabilty which won't hurt his England chances in contrast to Pickford who is larger than life and more regularly in the public eye. If I put on a tin foil hat I would almost suggest the club pushed the whole thing a little.

In an ideal world we have someone young and exciting for the left/maxi too and stick a rocket up his ass. Anderson isn't the answer either. Get him out on loan unless we are really hooped bringing people in. We need another striker, RW and central creative mid. Arguable another DM too. That's not happening though.

He is clocking on. I expect he is just slow starting out the blocks right now. Pre season was also intense. Will be a worry for Southgate but I expect him to be back to himself again soon. A young RB successor will be on the shortlist for next summer though.

Fair enough about the conditions except to say one side had zero problems with it.
