The raw potential i'm sure Howe would love to get his mits on that, perfect for us

Nah, William Devane. Admit it.

I've got it. William Devane

I spy a flaw in this plan

Think he will do better, could hardly do worse. Good landing spot for him and about 60-70% of their money back, great deal for Liverpool too.

Napoli apparently prepared to pay 47m for Nunez. I mean he might do better over there but is there no end to the bail out of cartel transfer mistakes

My vague recollection was "reports" saying bids started around 35m and went up to 50m potentially on deadline day, could be wrong like. Edit - thinking it was maybe we were prepared to pay 35m, but it was far too late and Forest would want 50m plus for him, not that we actually bid that amount

A year ago when we had a "failed 50m bid" for him, I didn't appreciate at the time how good he could be and just generally, ya know, that Howe knows what he's doing. 52m for a PL-ready and two-footed winger with blistering pace, well happy. Glad we didn't have to wait n elanga

Whether you intended it to be or not, that was a beautiful tribute to a fantastic player and family man

Proves the opposite for me, means he's probably a sound lad interested in developing his game. All they seem to want are the deviants that only care about their wages

Shit aye

Think Kenny W lived on Ladybank for a good while, right down from that petrol station. Funny anecdote time, I rear-ended someone on Lemington roundabout one day in the 80s. He gets out of his car and...it's Kenny Wharton. He was absolutely sound, no harm done. Footballers were slightly more relatable back then, putting fivers of petrol in their cars and laughing off getting crashed (gently) into.

Triple A. Fuck, thanks for the correction there buddy.

Triple AAA attack force

I picture a bloke, not dissimilar to Family Guy standing with his arms crossed, shaking his head at 55m and refusing to budge

Aye, but his fbref is shite mate

Very very good

Shit just robbed yer verbiage, soz mate

Honestly man, we're all gagging for a squad addition, we seem to be on the ramped-up/heated/verge/brink of making a good one, who could actually be exceptional under our gaffer's tutelage, and in a position we've all agreed needed improvement for years on end, and all some can do is whinge we're spending too much or that better players exist "on the continent"

Notice the provided list of same-priced alternatives is a little thin

Oof

It's really unlike you to be negative, such a beacon of positivity in match threads etc

Don't know if I prefer him but I do like Kudus, wish we'd gone for him while he was at Ajax, his value has doubled since.

Thread title changed to "Anthony Elanga" by morning

55m +1m in add-ons
