Girona are a CL team no?

Neto would be great for them if they’d got behind Poch, feels like he’ll be a bit Grealish 2023 in a side that wants to be like Man City.

Good for us if we want Madueke I suppose

I think the fact we need to just make a few additions to an already cohesive squad is massive. West Ham have bought well but may take time to click, if it does at all.

Didn’t they agree a fee for him ages ago but he was desperately hanging on for Juve?

No update, but Athletic have done a tactical break down of Guehi https://archive.is/6Jcuu

Zouma had similar hype to Yoro didn’t he?

Seems like an appropriate thread for this This is NOT ending well.

They looked good by the end of the season granted but they then fired the manager hired a novice and demanded a completely new style of play.

Omorodion to Chelsea for 35m. Selling all their local lads to sign someone else’s academy players.

Appointing the bald guy who won the u21s Euros worked out okay for Spain

Carsley to be interim manager. Hope he gets it permanently

Still no bans for Enzo or Nunez from FIFA or CONMEBOL. Still at least they didn’t place any bets I suppose.

Looking to bid below asking price for a player who is unconvinced to sign for them? Who do they think they are? Man United?

Or whoever runs there socials knows how to gets interactions?

He feels like their only viable target as a marquee striker signing though. People seem off put by Toneys attitude and someone like Osimhen is too expensive. Most other options are a bigger gamble than Solanke.

I forget Louise Taylor still covers us these days, she used to be quite disliked iirc. Luke Edwards emergence must have taken the heat off her

Surely that’s an Alan Oliver quote, not Pardew?

There will be plenty of takers just no one will pay their wages and from the players point of view it’s hard to blame them for holding out for every penny of a pay packet they will never get close to again.

Didn’t realise that Palace paid almost 20m for him, thought he was a cheap pick up.

He’s a good player but I think it’s impossible to judge strikers at City, they just feel completely superfluous to how they play football.

Even if he just brings some decent hold up play and running he will be very useful. So many games during that December period we played well but just had no outlet once Isak and Gordon were gassed.

I think Almiron is pretty settled here, despite the language barrier. Given his options are probably live in the desert or some middling La Liga side he’s probably happy to see out his deal.

Wharton just a poor man’s Rory Finneran
