Give over man. He's not going to West Ham.

Hmmm. Just went against my own policy and had a look at a video of Bamba Dieng. I like what I saw so I am a little bit intruiged.

You could be right tbf mate, I'm just Howe at face value, and he did intimate we were choosing from a very select group of targets. I'm also wondering whether the club's thinking is, we could spend money on lesser players who have done well last season, but would they be better than Almiron, Fraser and Willock? When it comes to someone like Maddison, the gulf is clear, but some of the other names we've been linked with, maybe the club aren't convinced.

As for Paqueta, feels like this could have been done if we'd gone in a bit earlier when there was all the talk of him joining Bruno, I mean he even travelled here to watch a match didn't he? Seems like there's other clubs sniffing around now, and if it's the likes of City, he's not going to turn down the sort of wages they'll throw at him.

I still think we'll get at least one more through the door, but I'm no longer banking on it. Unless we are prepared to pay really high prices for the top tier footballers we are looking to land. We obviously don't want the likes of Dennis or Sarr.

I've stopped checking this thread much tbh, feels like we are at a bit of a deadlock. We aren't going to make signings for the sake of it, so might not see much happening until the final week, if at all.

His wages are twice our ceiling if it's true he's on 230k/week. I don't see how that's happening.

Who cares? I wouldn't swap, and I suppose Brighton fans wouldn't either.

I'm of that opinion as well. There's been any amount of players traded recently, but we don't seem to fancy any of them. The ones we like are beyond our budget by the looks of it.

We paid so much =, but he was worth it. Don't know who to thank, Howe or Ashworth, but this lad kept us up no doubt.

This. Enjoy it people, it will only get better.

That's the big IF really. If he stays fit we could do amazing things. IF Back in the day I remember watching some daft programme called IF and being really impressed. It was called IF.

Germany have been shite for a while now tbh.

He does! No player will ever want to leave under this manager, that testament to his character.

Forest are fucked like if he's being signed on. I would wish them well if I gave a shit but I don't.

The players they already bought with Russian money are in the bank.

Howe. Not a player but probably more significant.

Fair play tbh, maybe he'll sign some more hidden talents like Colback between stamp licking duties.

Right now I'd say 8-10th. If we sign a couple of forwads I'd say 6th. But didn't one of the clique already open a similar thread?

£1.5bn in the bank would probably help sign better players.

Looks like Man U might be signing Marko Arnautovic to replace Ronaldo. A bdget savvy reposte to Haaland no doubt!

Back to the Maddison thread to confront @Jackie Broon! See ya there mate!

Agreed. I have total faith in our leadership right now, if that means a seaon of consolidation because we can't get the right players then fine. I'm all in.

I don't think many people underrate them tbh, if anything most were questioning why we needed to target defnders or goal keepers as summer signings. Do we regret signing Botman though? Nah, he's class, like Bruno he'll prove it over the season. So will Pope I'm sure, even though I think Dubravka is one of the best keepers in the Premier.

Tbf we have to give some credit to our head cscout Nickson. Would you sell him for £40m now?
