1. going by what mark douglas has said today if we spend £65-£70m on Guehi we have about £20m to £30m left which tbh im surprised at 2. we’ve been linked with Torres yesterday and Madueke just the other day. The Guehi stuff is only public because palace leaked it. If they hadn’t you’d be saying the same thing about CH that you just said about RW. No news or rumours doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on 3. deals always go late in the window. Seems this window is particularly slow and I think we’ll see a load of deals across the league in the final week. i predict up to 6 players will leave. Targett on loan, Fraser and one of Trippier or Almiron (hopefully Almiron) the fact the club were talking to Charlotte means they are willing to let him go. Also either Dubravka will be sold or the Greek guy will be loaned out. We won’t have 5 keepers in the squad. Hayden & Lewis will be loaned out also

this isn’t Mitchell’s first time tbf he’ll have a strategy. Theres nothing to suggest we aren’t already talking to other clubs about other centre halves virtually having a deal agreed if and when we do walk away

Who knows city’s case against the PL around sponsorship result could come out next week. Announce a major stadium/training ground sponsor on the Thursday then two big signings on the Friday. I can but hope

They changed it a few years ago to it closing as the season starts iirc and it didn’t work for some reason and changed it back. or I’ve made that up but I’m sure it happened

As it stands? Or for previous year? I think they’ll sell enough players to balance it out. They’ve enough of them to sell and a lot of them are actually pretty decent which makes the constant replacing them even weirder

Cheers. I’ll give it a watch

They need to Get round table and discuss it and if it’s no further forward by tomorrow then move on. We play on sun with our best fit centre back suspended and the window shuts in 10 days. We are 2 months in to the window and not really any further forward

really? I’d love to know how.

absolutely mental way of running a football club. You’d have to be concerned if you were a Chelsea fan. It’s crazy how Everton and Forest get points deductions & we had to sign two young players to avoid it yet Chelsea can be ran in such a way

massively off topic but I thought the other day football manager should have a function where you can go a clubs academy manager and while you have the u23 side to run your job is sending players on loan and recommending players for first team. Probably a daft idea. Tho when I was a kid I wrote to the makers and made a suggestion and they wrote to me back and said they had already considered it and it’d be in the new game also my dad used to do the stats for the Airdrie team. We’d get a free game every year

We’ve offered £60m for Olise & £65m for Guehi there is some money there & Douglas reckons there will be £20m-£30m left over and that’s with no outgoings so there is money there

People ignore Villa played far more games in Europe than Newcastle last season. Yes it was a Lower competition and could player a weaker team but they made the semi finals and by the knock out stages the played 6 games with a more full strength side and managed to finish 4th. Yes it’s a tall ask to do it but it’s not impossible

Yeah this has been the issue all window it would appear. Surely we can shift a couple out the door I mean Fraser aside the 4 other players I listed aren’t terrible and should have at least some interest in them. Tho talks of the Greek keeper going on loan suggests Dubravka is staying.

so in theory we could sign Guehi & muster up £20m in sales (from a mix of Dubravka, Fraser, trippier, Targett & Almiron? ) we would have potentially £50m for a winger doesn’t sound too bad? Let’s gets these players shifted out

for £70m they can have him. Seriously just move on get someone cheaper and a right winger.

We are but so are other clubs stronger than they were in 22/23 particular spurs, Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea

More than likely ‘who the fuck is this guy’

if people want to discuss this then that’s up to them. There are plenty threads on this forum I’ve no interest in, I don’t click them and it doesn’t impact me in the slightest. it’s the weirdest thing moaning about a thread you don’t have to read. I just don’t understand the mentality. Don’t click the thread and you won’t see what’s being said but deep down you hate that Minteh was sold and you have to click on it….then moan about it. for example if we lose I’ll not open the match thread as it’ll likely be negative and we lost so what’s the point I personally don’t want to dwell on a defeat. The thread is there, many people are happy discussing the loss and I’m blissfully unaware of what’s in the thread. The Minteh thread is no different. No disrespect to anyone but people need to grow up about what threads there are etc. clicking on them is a choice just ignore the thread it’s not that difficult.

Should be Kudus we should be targeting he is real quality

Is it tho. Think of clicking the thread on the same lines as opening the door. You might know they are doing it but you sure as fuck don’t want to see it so don’t open that door (click on the thread)

Just don’t open the thread. If my dad was ploughing my maw I wouldn’t open their bedroom door for a peek ffs edit: they are well in to their 70s so fair play if they are still at it but point still stands. If you don’t like the thread don’t click on it. The moaning about the thread is more annoying than the thread

genuinely shocked at the amount of people saying Spurs will get top 4. Ange can only play one way and it’ll get found it. They’ve made decent signings but Son looks shadow of the player that linked up with Kane for fun

I keep seeing that we can’t possibly do worse than last year because we won’t have the same injuries. Reality is a bad bruno, Isak or pope injury and we are fucked. We don’t have the quality in depth
