I genuinely still think we can get four done, including Bruno. We've still got the two domestic loan slots to use, which it sounds like we're well aware of, but we can't discount a few moves at other clubs that might open up options that haven't previously existed. If it's a busy deadline day all-round, January-wise at least, then we'll be one of the very few (only?) clubs there to profit from that.

We've got no control either way, to be fair, just have to hope for the best. Bruno is imminent and Burn is still being worked on, but with Bakker falling by the wayside it has gone a bit quiet overall as far as reported "bids" go. Think Monday is going to be mental.

Douglas Luiz on the move?

Two, for me. All it takes is one injury otherwise and we're back to relying on the current crop (though big Fede should be back soon).

We've got a Brazilian lad working for us, let's get this pronunciation shit sorted once and for all: https://voca.ro/19XpgEYGcpJf (<- 2 second voice clip) Gui-ma-rey-ens?

It's not, like.

We're currently on a 2/10 Transferometer rating from me. Bruno would take it to 4/10, Burn to 5/10, and Bakker to 6/10. I'm going to need an exciting right-sided CB and a second striker in the Zapata/Nunez mould to hit the big 10. If we end up with the equivalent of Phillips and Lingard instead, I'll top out at an 8. Trippier, Carlos, Botman, Digne, Guimaraes, and Zapata/Nunez would've been off the scale.

Where would he play if he did join?

Was he? Can’t say I noticed him mentioning it.

This one will surely happen? £12M + £3M if we survive is my inane guess.

I’m still thinking there’s a £50M+ bomb to drop, especially if we end up spending significantly less on the defenders. We were looking at £90M+ on Carlos, Botman, and Digne at one stage.

We’re surely just singing BRUUUUUUUUUNOOOOOOOO for him, right?

As incorrectly reported, Sky Sports Keef.

I can’t remember being this excited by a new signing. Trippier was good, but right backs aren’t sexy and he was a known quantity, plus Gamez and Manquillo meant it was a bit old hat. Signing a relatively unknown Brazilian from Lyon? That can surely only go one way!

Is he doing his medical on the touchline?

Sure he’s with CAA, like Trippier and Wood.

Nobody said there was, tbf.

Sounds like our modus operandi…

Oof. Bring Burn and Bissouma with you pal.

This needs to happen, like. He looks fucking mint.

Marcao's another left-footer isn't he? (Source, I signed him on the latest version of FM when my first choice chose to go to Milan instead...)

Might as well pay that add-on now, in that case.

He said they'd agreed €40M yesterday, the absolute blagger.
