I assume we would be looking for something similar if we got JSL. Isak rarely plays like a traditional 9 and often goes wide or deep. It would mean an adjustment for us and JSL creating space for more runners from midfield. Ramsey would thrive in that for sure.

Just saw the Arsenal and Spuds links to Rodgers. Damn I would love him here. Villa would be crazy to sell but they may have to.

I see lots of talk about him being comparable to Wood. My question is l, why didn't Wood work here? While we have upgraded in the wide areas since he left, are we set up differently now? I don't think its radically different. We create chances. I remember Wood getting in the right places but fluffing it. Maybe more a case of things simply not clicking for Wood here rather than "we arent set up for a big man upfront"? Having a couple of different profile strikers is important for changing tactics if needed though.

Would also mean Villa would have to sell more now or in January as it looks like Chelsea will only loan if its obligation to buy.. unless that obligation to purchase extends passed this PSR year??

Villa is where he will end up imo.

Think that loan comes with an obligation to buy though. They want rid. Its just a different structured sale.

Best of a bad bunch lol. He has the highest cieling of those linked, for sure. I think if we were really keen on him we would have already gone all in.

If Richarlson was available surely we would be in for him? I appreciated you returning it. I only rented it for a day, would have lost the damage deposit.

Thats school boy stuff. Get back to us once you have thrown a motorbike off the top tier

He looked a bit shakey early on imo but grew into the game.

He has beast mode last year but could be a purple patch. This year is the proving point. If we are going Canadian I'd take a punt on Bombito while he is cheap. Possibly the fastest CB in Europe and keeps going from strength to strength. An excellent project player to replace Lascelles.

He just became the most expensive signing in Turkish history and is playing an active role in recruiting more players. Also earning 13m a year, dont think we are offering those type of wages to entice him, let alone a few of at least 100m to tempt them

It's his middle name.

The ornstein wording maybe gives hope that if the add ons were more achievable that would help lol. So maybe its closer than it looks. 40m being what they are hoping for.

Ah well. Too bad. I thought he would be decent here. Absolute waste of time. We will get someone, I mean we have to don't we? Lol 2 strikers in is a bloody pipe dream at this point.

Hasn't it been reportef "he only wants Villa" Albeit after the "he wants the Newcastle move" reports. I don't think this one is a goer or we would have made it happen. Wissa is our priority and maybe he is the fall back.

Expect it to get rejected lol

As the past few weeks will settle and take 135-140m for him now imo. If we keep him that's likely the highest amount we will get for him imo. Especially he remains in a huff. only way he doesn’t depreciate in value is by both quickly reintegrating and playing like he has the past couple of years. Contracts shorter, players getting older. Not saying we might not be happy to double down and take the loss but the probability of making a loss on him after this window is far higher than anything else imo

Just saw the statement Thats him done. Reckon we will keep him and have to sell for cheap in January tbh. Ridiculous state of affairs regardless of who is at fault.

We can hope. Spurious link lol

Nicely done. I appreciate the added touch of these guys haha Looks like a really solid hire. Not sure why it takes months to announce after it was first broken in the media. Now those 4 or 5 extra top line starting additions please.

Haha no. I did.

Meanwhile.. they are happy to give Liverpool $25m for someone with 10 PL appearances. No wonder they want 50-60m
