He's much better than both of them in fairness.

Where can I find this?

Targett mentioned but apparently Gerrard wants to keep him. Reckon they would be tempted by a few quid though. Would be a solid no brainer.

In: Trippier Wood CB LB CM(loan) CB (loan) Out: Shortstaff (loan) Clark (nominal fee) Schar (if we get 2 CBs) Gayle (nominal fee) Hendrick (2/3m) Something like that, depending on squad number limit.

I reckon we will get 1/2 more permanent signings and I'm convinced we will also use the loan market for another 2. So yes I see 6 signings. There will also be 4/5 outgoings once we have done the bulk of our work.

Has there been any sighting of him? Any confirmation of his arrival etc?

Pleased to see my Twitter feed is 95% positive about this. Apart from the Mbappe jibes, fans of other clubs seem to see the significance of this move.

Aye its a weird logic. We struggled to find a PL standard striker, so plumped for Wood but Burnley are going to attract someone better, despite being in a much worse position financially and are a far less attractive club? They may use it to fund two other positions, fair enough, but they have weakened a key position.

Genuinely think FM has screwed people's brains. Spurs are interested in Adama Traore FFS. Sometimes in football you have to think short term, as well as long term. Alot of assumptions about who else we could have got. I'd have been more annoyed with Solanke. I'd have been less trusting in Martial. Spending 30m for a French teenager is far from a certain outcome either.

Tell you something else impressive. Doing medicals at night, in order to stop that little creepy cunt stalking new signings.

Burnley aren't attracting anyone BTW.

He's had a poor season but he's not a poor player.

By the way. To those who aren't keen on him.... Watch how quickly the deal takes in comparison to Trippier. Always the same.

TBF Burnley being furious is worth 10m.

Think I will leave this thread to simmer for an hour or two. Good signing IMO though.

25m

IMO he is about 6m over his true value. 14m would be about right. We have paid 6m too much but that's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

If he's one of 5/6 players this window, he will be considered a good signing.

Also.... set penises. Marking that fucker is a nightmare.

The best part of this, is that it tells me that our owners are acutely aware of the desperate situation we are in.

Would you want sign Wilson based on this seasons performances? He's been shite.

20m is mental mind. And I'm OK with it.

Significantly, this buys us time in the transfer market. Reckon another striker is also on the cards.

You lot have no idea how effective this cunt is as a target man. He's always been a nightmare to play against. It's stage one of the new regime. Needs must.
