I’ve not seen many Sporting games to be honest. But been watching a lot of Diomande on YouTube and judging on that (I know) along with stuff I’ve read he looks absolutely perfect for us. Hope the rumours about us trying for him are true. Him and Tosin on a free would be dreamy. Probably too pricey, but not impossible considering that we’ve scouted Sporting on many occasions and we don’t mind paying big cash for what we see as the right player. With Botman out for ages and Schär not getting any younger it might be a position we are prepared to spend big on anyway. I’d be very happy with a Tosin and Kelly if it means more money available for other positions too.

Would improve their chances of staying up tenfold. Even if he plays only, say 20 games.

Hopefully he stays fit and scores a few in the last few games. I’m sure there will be clubs willing to gamble on him. Love him but it’s time to move on. If we get fuck all for him I’d rather keep him though, obviously.

You drunk? He isn’t talking about Isak.

I would too but not with Arteta.

24 but aye

He is one annoying cunt like. Think both set of fans feel the same today. And many other games…

Most don’t doubt his quality as a finisher it’s about him staying fit.

Wanted to take the penalty. Was a minor argument about it with Longstaff grabbing the ball away from him

I hope that we are at their throats from the off being all relentless. Being passive doesn’t suit us. It’s almost like fall asleep and become much worse at controlling a foot all. All Attack please!!

Looking forward to see Hall playing.

Other way around and it stands. Fuck off.

Must be a goal

Gordon playing as an 8 instead of Longstaff please. if both Wilson and Isak start I mean.

Just an example that I would love. I know it’s not quite as easy as just signing these players but anyways. RW: Nico Williams 40m. Can play both sides. This one might be out of our reach though when you consider how many clubs will want him. Not impossible though and if not him then there might be other very good options out there around 40m. Midfield: Ezequiel Fernández 15m. If we are looking for a more defensive minded midfielder to play from deep. Or if we are looking for an attacking one we could go for Desiré Doué for say 30-35m and/or some add ons. A very technical and versatile option that also is creative and athletic. One of these two can grow into the team during the season while also offer us different options tactically. Both of these have a very high ceiling potentially while also offer us something now. Striker? Someone young, or someone on loan perhaps. Also depending on what the plan is for Wilson and what our limit is spending wise.

So how much do you reckon? 60-70? I think selling someone like Almiron alone would mean that we can spend 100m in total. I’m also absolutely certain that they will spend every penny possible. Isak and Bruno won’t be looking to stay unless we move forward properly, or something towards that. And they will know this.

We won’t be going crazy in any way, that’s for sure. However, I imagine that our budget won’t be quite as tight as some seem to think. Or how we/the media has been playing it out. I think we will spend around a 100m. More if we sell one of our assets, which I don’t think we will.

I said that the keeper is probably too early for this window so Im not sure why you mention it. I’m not demanding three, striker, RW and CM. But I’m hopeful we can do it. We don’t know even know what our limit will be or who we sell to enhance our budget. We don’t necessarily need to buy expensive for all three either to improve, do we? I do think we can get those three and improve the 1st team and squad depth.

Tosin and Kelly and then put the money on a RW, CM, striker. Then we would have good quality and depth. Next window, or say next summer reevaluate and maybe go big on a different level CB. Ideally I would like that Valencia big bastard Giorgi keeper too but I guess it might be too early. I prefer the CM to be a reasonably athletic one with great technical ability and preferably some versatility and attacking ability. I feel like some sort of midfielder is a must. We have many bodies there but not enough quality. We use three of them and injuries/suspensions will happen and I think it’s a key area that if it works well over a season it will make a massive difference in points total towards the end of the season. More control and composure in there. Improve the technical ability and IQ in there and we are golden.

I like the sound of Dougie Freedman from what I’ve read and heard about him.

Was posted yesterday the above. Hope we go for him.

Poor shot. Needed more Bendandcurl.

We have to earn it you know.. I think we will. We need to perform in the last four.

If they do then we haven’t been good enough and don’t deserve it.

Sounds very cheap. Get it done ?
