Crazy good price although his numbers dipped a bit last year

Only slight silver lining, but both have the headroom to spend another 300m apparently

We’re going to sign some players man This mini window is taking some casualties like.

How can you write so many paragraphs without a single tangible bit of news to report? (Edwards not Kaka)

Sorry couldn’t resist

Apparently spot goes to the team with the highest coefficient not in Europe so Man United back in.

Clear the locals aren’t being briefed at all on our deals. Christ even Ornstiens column when asked about us he just sort of gives a non answer. Modern journos need to churn out content, what Hope, Edwards et al are doing is just that despite them having nothing tangible to report.

Sort of is though isn’t it, they have Miami in for no other reason than Messi. They didn’t win the MLS.

There was some scare stories about them, Lyon and Brøndby (not sure 100% on them) all having link to Texor and them being prevented due to that. I assume they’ll find a way round like Brighton and Union SG and RB Salzburg and Leipzig have in the past.

He’s ‘provisionally banned’ awaiting the results of a B sample which considering he hasn’t played for 8 months now seems to be taking a fucking age. I do wonder if there will be a murky way they acquit him, despite the fact football is meant to be strict liability for drugs. None of that uncastrated boar meat nonsense or tainted supplement excuses like you get in boxing and other sports.

Remember his dad trying to leverage his own kidnap to engineer him a move to Barca

When Schar was suspended for the red teams absolutely went for the jugular with the press, his quality on the ball and press resistance is massive for how we play.

Send him to PSV on loan as sweetener for Bakayoko, win win (as long as he isn’t shite of course )

Nope

Probably an oversimplification but Howe likes to have these young lads in and around the first team for a season before they are put in situations where there are tangible things at risk. Feels like he’s sort of done that with Miley this year as was pretty much forced to put him in during 23/24. Hopefully we will see a lot more of him this year.

For all talk of not repeating the same mistakes it looks like they are overtly and publicly pursuing whichever flavour of the month (or season) target they have set their heart on and will end up vastly overpaying to avoid looking stupid.

360m spent in 6 months

Is Bakayoko still an option? had a slightly poorer season so might get a better deal from PSV if our scouts still like the look of him.

How many players have been hoovered up currently?

Bloke just trying to move on and pay his bills and some cunt sending their ring doorbell clip into the papers.
