They’re better than almost all the squad options we have now like.

I think the fact we have Isak (fingers crossed) is also a key factor. We need a rotation option and for me Wissa is excellent for that bracket.

Loans with obligation are really just a way to spread the cost I think. You’ll always buy them at the end.

Why does he care, as long he gets his money?

You couldn’t really have a cartel when there were no spending restrictions, surely. Any rich owner could come in and buy success. Blackburn for example.

Problem is here the shit owners vote for the cartel to win so they can continue to stay in the PL as cheaply as possible. They don’t want to progress.

I personally rate Darwin pretty highly but he’s got a lot to prove. But Wissa is up there.

Think people sometimes don’t realise how expensive any footballer is now.

Shade seems to be really coming good now as well.

After he signs I guess.

Mbuemo is a different order of signing though. Young and sought-after.

Oui.

Manager I get, but he should definitely expected at least Mbuemo to leave.

It’s definitely a club option? Anyway, sounds like it’s getting done.

Didn't realise he only had a year left. So they basically have to sell him now.

Can’t be any better moves available at this stage of his career. Unless he just wanted direct Saudi cash I guess.

Probably some clumsy phrasing there, I’m sure he knows Isak is the star but he’ll get loads of minutes. Even at Brentford he was the least famous.

Didn’t we all.

Kevin Shade had a really good season as well.

We’ve definitely not been as smart as I expected, just hoping the next level of targets is more gettable. TBH I’m not sure anyone expected Ekitike to be worth 90m or City to want Trafford back. Pedro to Chelsea is just Chelsea spending at random. Still think it’s possible the window ends up good but TBH all I can think about is the chance of Isak leaving.

I more meant the stuff about having a range of targets and profiles on our list. Everyone just ignores that stuff.

We really have only lost out to Liverpool and Chelsea so far right? And if Trafford goes to Man Blue? I know what you mean though, I don’t see why players wouldn’t be desperate to come here. It’s just that some have even greater options.

I guess most players don’t want to Saudi.

I never notice the reasonable stuff that Hope posts, maybe nobody quotes them on here

We’ll match the wages surely.
