There shouldn't be any question on whether we are interested in Paqueta. He's exactly the profile we would look at, we have looked at and we have his ear. The only real question is whether a deal is doable this window and I doubt we have the finance or the appetite right now. Next summer we would be all over it.

12 today apparently but I suspect its all done anyway, so it should be fine. Just waiting on the announcement.

Don't think so but only takes them an hour to put it online. Wonder if Isak is getting some training in today.

Merson basically says it's worrying because he hasn't seen Barca or Real in for him so he can't be that good. Firstly, both have been linked with him. Secondly, if they were in for him, we wouldn't have signed him Thirdly, does that mean good players only play for them two sides? Fourthly, fuck off ya little skip rat.

Not ITK but it will be confirmed before 10am because Eddie has his presser and they won't want him to be answering questions in limbo.

3. Haven't spent enough IMO. Preferred Ashley.

He doesn't need to be any of those fuckers. He just needs to be Isak. More importantly Eddie needs to be Eddie and get that laser guided management turning this rough diamond into an absolute pearler.

Yous are talking about different players: Foster and Forster.

Will take a few hours for the media lot to put a video package together, so I'd guess the morning. Bet its not often the flags store is asked if they stock the Swedish flag. Probably nipped down to IKEA.

Quit. Quit now.

How quickly have they pushed this through man. Normally takes 4 days from bid accepted to announcements. Reckon they were desperate to have him in for Sunday. If Sam Fender is in announcement video, we may have peaked as a club.

Have I missed something? Why would Sam Fender be there?

I think it's commonly accepted that players are allowed to miss games if there is a chance of a transfer to another club. We could refuse and make a player play but then we couldn't expect a player we wanted to sign to do the same for us. Too much money on the line for a player to play and pick up an injury. Especially in a league Cup game. Sometimes a club won't sell until after qualifying game though.

What time is registration for Sunday?

I'm saying it now, the next person who says "worrying" while we are waiting for confirmation is a fucking nob.

I don't think it's over the odds, or at least not way over the odds. I just think strikers come at a big cost, especially good ones. It is very interesting that we wouldn't budge over our value of Maddison, Harrison and Diaby mind. It's clear now we have strict values on players.

It was for Bruno, Botman less so and now I'm just comfortable in knowing that this is the new us. At what point is Diaby gutted for not kicking up a fuss at Leverkusen?

Can't that cunt off my mind.

Darlow isn't as good as Dubravka but rarely can you keep a hold of a good number 2. Darlow is pretty much standard number 2 material, excuse the pun and will ok for where we are at.

You know as well as I do that our fans won't chill out in any transfer window. In the same way a junkie won't chill out until he gets his next fix. Please.... just one moaaar.

Must be done if Lee is getting those sorts of comments from the club. Great news.

Our fans have a habit of trashing our own players. Henderson and Dubravka aren't far off each other. Henderson has a seriously questionable character and I reckon that's why we didn't take him from yous.

Yeah that's spot on. Darlow is only marginally worse than Dubravka and now is our best chance to get some money back on him. Dubravka will be spot on for Man Utd. He won't make many mistakes like De Gea did the other day but he's also not as good in general. He's well capable of pushing De Gea out of the starting 11 if he makes mistakes.

ASM is about to hit some hot form. They will do everything to stop him.... so miggy will sneak another goal.

You have to assume Palace will also rest players. We will have to play a better 11 than today. Isak brace.
