  1. Did a bit of rumour reading Looks like we are piggy in the middle. He seems to want back to West Ham, Manure won't let him go there as they are rivals and it could cost them Europe if he does well there again. He is out of contract in the summer and won't be re-signing. We might benefit though by getting him on loan late in in window if they don't come to an agreement with West Ham. Surely better getting some wages off the bill as they are losing him in the summer for nothing one way or another.
  2. I assume Lingard maybe isn't interested given our position and is holding out for West Ham or otherwise. Been really quiet considering a few weeks back he seemed to be the one the press were cramming down our throats about being the first through the door. Trippier might persuade him though.
  3. Whether we want him or not expressing interest in Tarkowski is going to mess with the players head if he wants the move and create disharmony in a relegation rival, anyone else we can disrupt lol. I'm all in on Barbosa. Could be the DM we have been craving come 2023/24.
  4. That's fine. Two can play at that game. We will bid 30m plus Gayle and Clark. If they continue to play games we will likewise continue to keep lowering our offers.
  5. If Botman is the player we want to build our defence around for the next half decade or more then no harm waiting to the summer imo. A young defender from another league/country that will come with a ton of pressure and expectation on his shoulders is probably not a priority right now. If we can get a player like that for a better price now then sure I get it but I'd rather we get an experienced for sure bet to keep us up. We could easily break a young potential player right now...or maybs make one. It's a gamble.
  6. I think if that was a goer he would be coming in. For a big fella he is also deceptively quick. 5th or 6th quickest in the Bayern squad which is pretty impressive considering who they have.
  7. Especially this early in the window. They didnt just hear of our and AC Milans interest yesterday. They will have a plan of how and who to replace him with. The exodus is surely a worry though. Alot of players leaving and David likely going too.
  8. Barbosa and Alvarez for 34m combined.... yes? Especially if Barbosa is loan to buy.
  9. Seems like a fair bet to gamble on if you are an twitter ITK. See who else picks up and tweets.
  10. Worked out well for him. Think how much he would have played here!
  11. Has to at least be allowed to let Everton lose to us before he goes. Fully expect the to panic and get a contrasting attacking coach in to appease fans. We should really just stick a bid in for lewin. All that said it would be perfect if they shat the bed and got a fat Sam or Bruce as stop gap. Probably better getting big Dunc back!
  12. Brentford will be safe. Draw would have been preferable for leeds Burnley but it's fine. Everton losing is fun. They could still get dragged in.
  13. Can see he is wearing a black and white shirt underneath if you zoom in. It's happening at full time.
  14. VAR again. Watford Penalty denied.
  15. Expect full on melt central when we haven't signed someone in the first couple of days. Just nice to be excited about the window again.
  16. Don't have a problem with fans being upset. We would be the same if the shoe was on the other foot. At the same time I have no problem with us playing the system if that's what we have done. They should have just cancelled all or none. Just another of the endless list of inconsistencies within the league. Not really sure what Southampton think they will achieve with an appeal. Nothing wrong with them doing so if they think it's been handled unfairly but the league already opened pandoras box.
  17. Larin was always an out and out striker in Orlando and upon arriving in Turkey. He seemed to have imploded there, didn't really hit the ground running but also didn't get a fair shake. lost his place and it took a loan to get his goal scoring touch back in Belgium. Last season was the revelation though, being pushed out wide completely rejuvenated him. He has become a completely different animal and his all round game is infinity better for it. He always had a nack for scoring goals and being in the right place at the right time (other than a torrid spell for Canada, prior to Davies, David, Arfield, Hoilett etc. Coming on board, when the weight of the nation was unfairly on his shoulders). In many ways his all-round play for the team is better than David's imo. Could see him being useful on the right of a top three and possibly through the middle. He would be a great cheap addition for cover. Unlike David I am not sure Larin will develop more but who knows. He is still young for a striker.
  18. Back when it was a means to an end. He reached the end and is throwing his toys out of the pram like a diva now he has "made it". Will be interesting to see the situation develop but doubt he goes anywhere anytime soon.
  19. We will end up with the PL version of the WWE Gauntlet match. 19 matches in 19 consecutive days. But No DQ and the refs and VAR in the rest of the PL's corner.
  20. He would be a perfect Wilson replacement. Wonder it we will be actually looking for a target man though. David is definitely a poacher and more a false 9. Also likely well out of reach with arsenal, Liverpool and real all heavily linked and with longstanding interest. Larin was linked today who also isn't really a traditional 9 either. Has been rejuvenated in a front 3 out wide. Would have taken him under Ashley. We can probably buy better.
