Wood lol Dummett crocked already. Hope Lewis is fit? We can't be going into the season with Dummett and Ritchie as back up to targett can we? You betcha. -

He has been energetic today for sure. Still think shelvey starts ahead of him. Botman looks solid. He must feel at home though with an attack in front of him that seems like they have never played together before. Like the possession and press so far but while its only preseason and you cant judge, im going to and say it's clear to see the need for upgrades on the wings/upfront. -
I'd take Toney for 30m and CHO on loan to buy if it meant saving a little and getting paqueta.

Allan Saint-Maximin (now playing for Fenerbahce, on loan from Al-Ahli)

In the clips/pictures he rarely seems to be fully part of the group, smiling and always seems to arrive by himself. That could just be him though or crappy timing with the camera lol. Possibly not a coincidence many of the wingers linked are lefties. I hope he stays though. He can go as far as he wants to with us. -
Can't see him going for less than 35m. Must be able to do better for that kind of coin. He would be a great addition and ultimately I wouldn't complain but we can surely do better. Saw 30m being mentioned as enough. That would probably be pretty tempting. He is very different to what we have and an explosive forward. If it was simply 30m it not bad for a proven PL goal scoring forward. Would tie us over for a year.
-
20m I thought he was out of contract and we were talking about a few million compo and playing him in the reserves. No way we are in the running at that price surely. Edit: OK this all makes sense reading back and seeing the below. Thanks @brummie
-
I'd add Chelsea in there. Jurys out right now but we will likely add Manure and west ham if they get the targets they are after. Expect Liverpool have at least one more big signing on the way given the amount they have moved out.
-
PL is going to be mad this year. Some simply incredible signings for top 6/7. Slow below though. Real chance for us to solidify top 10.
-
Youth signings still count towards FPP right? Or is that considered "youth development" lol. We certainly seem to have a budget to go out and lure a bunch of youth to flood our reserves. Love it and hope to see more.
-
If paqueta or another high quality target in cm/am isn't going to work for us this window I would gladly take Gini back on loan for the year to fill a gap and let us save and spend big on a long term game changer next year. If a gini loan meant spending more to get diaby and a better striker. Yes everyday. Gini can fill multiple roles well and would be fantastic imo.
-
This guy is an absolute destroyer. A tank of a player. Just mindblowing in comparison to where people were talking about him this time last year. Granted the opposition wasn't great today but Jo was another level and then some today. First touch does let him down still but seems to be in the best shape and has recovery pace to catch the ball after the mis control or win it back.
-
49 though. Granted it's really just another indicator of how much of an old git i am now but i had him pegged as 59.
-
Would be absolutely lush. First and now last time I'm using lush in a sentence.

Players doing their best to show how badly we need three more creative/attacking players brought in this summer. -

Charity free kick. -
I'd definitely be more concerned at us having to overpay for Harrison than him being a solid signing. He would be a solid addition but not for anything more than 25-30m
-
If we are moving down the list I would rather we go for Hudson-Odoi. Think we could get him on loan too. Versatile enough to cover a few different positions. Harrison isn't bad at all but predominantly a LW. Would love Jones to be right about Fofana, would be a fantastic addition. Traore from Metz seems one for the future.
-
Scarier how quickly that time has passed, even with the Ashley era seeming like 100 years of misery.
-
While Dean Jones and several others are saying there is calm behind the scenes and the team is relaxed and patient for incomings lol
-
A young RCB to compliment Botman is certainly on the list but also most certainly far below a RW, AM, DM and at least one striker. I think Tanganga would be a neat addition given his age/potential and prem experience. However its also not beyond the realms of possibility it's more Italian press hype of a player AC Milan are getting and getting to one up us on a transfer by putting our name alongside it.
