30m pounds seems pretty steep. Not massively convinced by him from the little I’ve seen.

N’Dicka and Inacio are very good too.

We’re so far apart on this, probably just best to agree to disagree.

Ridiculous

Collins is a pretty decent prospect tbf. Plus, of course you’d want to cash in if it’s obvious he won’t sign a new contract.

Here I go again defending Tarkowski . He’s significantly better than any of our defenders (besides perhaps Schar, but I’d argue he’s better and definitely more PL-proven than him too). Would be a great pick-up for free, providing his wages are reasonable.

He’s since said that they’d sell for €20m.

Feel like Villa will go for Ake; he’s basically the player Mings wants to be.

Apologies, In his position I meant .

Yeah, seriously.

I wouldn’t try to argue . It’s an overwhelmingly commonly held belief here; all my Saudi friends (most of whom went on to do their bachelors and masters in the US and UK, some in politics no less) are adamant this is the case. They used to show Fahrenheit 911 in Saudi schools ffs.

Would be an incredible signing though. Arguably the best player in La Liga right now.

Love the optimism but it’s just football mate

This . I’d add Portugal to the list as well.

A full-fit* DCL is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. *I can understand people not wanting him due to his injury record but doubting his ability is ridiculous.

That being said Toney is the safer bet.

Why, out of interest? If, and granted it’s a big If, his injury issues are behind him you’d be paying 40m for one of the best pure target men in world football. English tax aside, it’s a decent price.

I’d take DCL for 40m.

The country has changed so much in the last 5 years, almost to the point where it’s unrecognizable. Women’s rights, human rights, government transparency, non-umrah tourism, segregation laws, stripping power from the muttawa (religious police), technology, entertainment etc. have all undergone an immense amount of progress. This is all due to MBS. Like I said, it’s a completely different country today to the one I was born in. Improvements are still needed and politically there’s a lot to criticize but, as a country, it’s moving in the right direction.

This . Despite hearing murmurs of Saudia being the new sponsor, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fun88 are still on the shirt for the coming season.

I just hope we don’t change our targets; I’ve been pretty impressed with the names we’ve been linked with so far.

I’d be very disappointed if we didn’t sign a Cm/cdm and a RW.

He isn’t, unfortunately.

Think I’m here as well. Providing we can get enough game time out of Wilson; him, Ekitike, Wood and even Joelinton isn’t disastrous. Bonus if it frees up the budget for a goal-scoring RW and Paqueta.

Yet to be convinced by Ekitike but there’s obviously something about the lad if all these big teams are circling. 15m seems very reasonable too, if true.
