Zero

WTF, Mctominey is still here!

I can’t work out how you raised 100m by selling players. Don’t tell me that’s wages inclusive

same as the Forrest keeper for 23.6m. Everyone say zero chance. No way Anderson just go for 10-15m. And then?

As long as he got regular minutes then it’s fine. Meaningless to sit on the bench for Championship teams.

I really want Simakan. He might be even more useful than Guehi this season, playing RB occasionally and allows Livra to play LB, while Schar and Botman starting alongside Hope we really got him. That looks more like a game changer to me than Guehi.

Simakan would do it for me. Looks like Trippier could still give it a final shot this year. We can wait till next Jan / next summer to solve the RW. If no new CB then this window is just absolutely unacceptable

If Simakan or Silva is available (at a price we can afford), we should just close the deal and move on. With just 2 days left we can’t drag on with CP anymore.

I feel like signing a CB ver of Ben Arfa

Do it. I have had enough for Guehi saga. Just sign Simakan for whatever it takes.

I have doubt over Simakans defense positioning. Other than that he is probably a more natural successor of Schar than Guehi. He simply doesn’t play like a CB

that means they are trying to drum up interest. Our approach is probably legit

I like the word “free”

oic, not Mitchell/managements fault that we didn’t go for him then? We got the message

Another one we cried out for long, gone.

It’s quite risky to assume CP would allow Guehi to leave once they got Lacroix. If Lacroix is available at that price, we should go for him instead

nah as long as we kept all the purples here it is a great deal. Isn’t that what people said here? Great deal definitely

You should first think again whether we are really at THAT stage or we just being tricked

Why would the other club want to sign our dog dirt players in the first place? And at what price? And alternatives in the market?

Kinda. I think we should just go for other options once CP quoted 70m in return. We made a wrong decision at that time. Now probably too late.

not the first time? I probably missed his second adventure whilst we are all saying please don’t go etc, is there really any genuine interest from other clubs?

I would say since Howe finally tried Gordon as RW, and Trippier likely to stay, a new CB has higher priority over a new RW.

He and Almiron played well because of Trippier. Thats what I think people missed out most. Livra is good but in terms of attacking he isn’t Trippier level. Before last Dec Trippier is still world best RB in terms of attacking and I ain’t kidding. We need a new RW if Livra is our RB. Simply as that.

You are also right. I forgot to add, our right side in trouble now as well. I still remember how we played like before Trippier joined. Trippier is the first, and till now still the most transformational transfer we made during PIF era. May be we should find a new hot lass for Trippier so he can leave the pain behind and focus on football again

I would prefer Guehi / a new CB over a new RW, but I am actually gambling on Trippier able to back to his normal standard. The CB / RW debate imo is in fact which one you think would decline a lot this season that you want replacement asap, Schar or Trippier. Almiron and Murphy are hopeless. No discussion needed

We did. He played too many games and he was probably the only two players that could create threats by dribbling himself (another one is Isak). He got the player of the season award due to this. I know many here have doubt re his attitude for our first two games. To me he is now getting Ben Arfa treatment (double-team whenever he got the ball) and also he still looks tired. Imo he shouldn’t get any sticks. However if this continues we would be in great trouble very soon. We need one more winger to share his workload
