I think we’re at the point in the window where they should be getting together and agreeing it isn’t working and the situation needs rescuing.

I reckon we will as well, I don’t know how many more years it will take though.

I think our approach to Trafford has been odd and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s turned him off a bit. Are we just waiting and hoping Burnley lower their demands late in the window? It’s been over a year since he agreed to come here.

A Saudi club would probably loan him to Liverpool within a year, I don’t trust them one bit.

Agreed, things are out of control.

I think/hope it’s still Diogo Costa they want.

I don’t think it’s a crazy fee for Mbuemo given what other players are going for. The annoying thing is Man U fumbling everything year after year and still being allowed to spend huge amounts of money, while other clubs are told they aren’t allowed to compete financially, even if able to. If Mbeumo fails they’ll just buy another one, there’s no risk in anything for them.

I think we’re reluctant to commit to any more signings until we have a forward, and we don’t know if that forward will cost 30m or 80m. Once the situation is resolved I can see everything else happening fairly quickly, but there’s also a danger it’s going to drag out all summer. Personally I’d rather we moved on from Ekitike and got the numbers we need. If our scouts haven’t found a promising young striker abroad for less than 40m in the last couple years then they need sacking.

Not everything. Right now I think ST is causing a bottleneck and we need to get it resolved ASAP. I think we can get Trafford and maybe a CB after that, but I doubt we get another midfielder. I would like Gallagher link to become something real but that might be asking too much.

Get the cartel and their media talking about Ekitike or Wissa while we negotiate Kalimeundo in an underground bunker somewhere. Genius really.

Each name down the list seems to get progressively more expensive.

My Dennis Wise scouting has me preferring Kalimeundo anyway. I hope he’s next on the list.

Why post videos of ESL glory hunters in here? Unless they’re crying I’m not interested.

The league has no integrity, it’s rigged.

The only reason any of this is an issue is the financial rules that rig the game in favour of clubs like Liverpool.

Derisory.

Probably the least eventful transfer saga I’ve ever been a spectator to. We don’t even seem to have any competition.

Is Eales actually still working at the club? Given that cancer is the reason he’s going I thought would’ve gone on leave not long after the announcement.

I didn’t watch a game. I don’t mind it happening or people enjoying it, but I can’t imagine seeing it as anything other than a pre-season tournament. The shovelling of more money into the pockets of a few clubs is a problem, but that’s a wider issue, UEFA have rigged the CL money in their favour as well.

If we’re in for Ekitike then I think the club is expecting Isak to go this summer. This is the first time I’ve considered it a possibility.

I don’t really get why you can’t just announce it and take a pic, then release the rest of the media stuff through the week.

Brentford are in massive trouble this season, surely Phil Giles isn’t the one appointing Keith Andrews and signing Henderson?

I think Frank gets them back competing for a top 6 place this season, then the following season competing for top 4. Ange was a clown.

James Maddison in the mud with these signings. West Ham should bid for him and finish off his reputation.

I think the chance that Guehi hasn’t already agreed to go to Liverpool either this summer or next is slim.
