don’t think anyone is too bothered because we are stacked in midfield with genuine top 4 quality. Even Miley overtook Anderson in the pecking order. The issue is and will be till it changes is Minteh looks real quality and proving it while our RW options are Almiron and Murphy. Sign a RW and people will be less bothered

You wonder what the players are thinking

we just need to sign a right winger that assists and scores and it’ll fast be forgotten about. If we stick with Almiron it’ll be a brutal thread

don’t disagree and I personally think we’ll be in and around top 4 but it’s a very competitive top half of the league and tbh I don’t hate it.

Theres a lot of bias with those two but honestly it does make you realise just how many teams are in the mix and with a credible shout for top 4. When you assume Arsenal Man City will take up 2 of them that leaves us, Man Utd, Villa, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and likely a surprise like West Ham or Brighton all fighting it out for 2 spots. It’ll be a tough tough ask even if we get a couple signings in

Carragher has him as player to watch and that we will rue selling him. i know Jamie I know

I think we’ll even struggle to get top 4 tbh. City aside it’s the most competitive looking league in decades. 8 or 9 clubs are in the mix for top 4. Everything will need to fall right to get top 4. We’re as likely not getting it as we are getting it. Title challenge is just silly talk

Just throwing this grenade in here see you later

Dunno I’m not privy to transfer discussions I’m just saying people think he’s a bit of a cunt

True but I suspect he’s going to Saudi coz no one fancies him here coz he’s a bit of a cunt. gets banned for betting, never apologises, goes on a 9 month or however long pitty party about how’s been wronged, gets backed by the club and he comes back to a hero’s welcome and his first interview he says he wants to leave. Imagine Tonali rocks up before the forest game and says he wants to play for Arsenal

No disrespect but not a chance we challenge for the title

don’t think that’s what makes him a cunt. It’s more other things but I suspect you know this

Well know in less than two weeks. I think he’ll still be here personally.

really fucking his career this guy

Begrudgingly Man Utd have made decent signings

He doesn’t see out 2024 as Chelsea manager.

Transfer window has been so underwhelming I don’t think I’m at the point where I can quite believe we won’t do anything. I’d be massively shocked if we’ve bid £60m for Olise and £65m for Guehi and we end up not spending that money. I’ve said it and it’s not popular with some but any less than a centre half and a winger and at least one of them being a statement signing will be nothing short of a failure of a window. I’m sure we’ll get something done. The fact the majority of business this window is being done over the last week or two is encouraging

Fair enough not having a dig I was just saying it was just a throw away comment from myself about Ashley breaking the transfer record twice wasn’t intended to start a big debate

Who cares anyway it was a throw away comment about Ashley breaking our transfer record. If Almiron did break it it was a disgrace it took that long. End of the day it’s no relevance to this transfer window

Every newspaper report etc says £20m and we broke our record can only take that at face value. If it’s false then fair enough

Yeah love the respect to keep him in that role. Regardless of performances on the park He’s never put a foot wrong in his role as captain

Chuffed with this. Sad to see Trippier replaced as on field captain (unless he’s away) as he’s been a great captain for us

Almiron was absolutely more than £17m surely

I’ve never seen a club run in such a mental way. They have look 46 players in their squad half of them on deals over 6 years
