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.

Think I read somewhere (a while ago) that he’s going to Sevilla. Should be all over that tbh.

Of course but they’re still under pressure to perform financially and their success is of bigger national importance than a successful football team?

Tbf unless we’re dealing with PIF directly on sponsorships(which I imagine is not allowed under PL rules) even Saudi companies are looking for “fair value”. Companies like Saudia and Aramco aren’t charities and won’t just throw money at us so we can win the league.

Dubravka is average imo. Henderson is younger, more commanding in the box and a better passer. For 15m, it’d be a very sensible move.

Or Diaby. Both players we ‘re linked with

Think if Sadio does leave, they should go for Bowen. He’s still (imo) slightly underrated and with a good few seasons at Liverpool he could become a bona fide star. Harrison is another unheralded player that I think would excel for them.

Still pretty pacy as well. Quality player; was excited when we were linked as the guy can play almost any position and do reasonably well.

Was gonna say . If he’s going, he’ll go for quite a bit more than Bruno. I reckon it’ll be 50m +

I said it before but I think N’Dicka will be something special. An athletic beast for sure but really poised and composed for a 22 year old.

I like him but (much like Nunez) he seems to be a little overhyped currently.

He’s like if Sissoko actually had a footballing brain. Good player.

Diaby is just as frustrating as St. Max but with arguably less raw ability (age is on his side though). Good player but we shouldn’t be spending over 30m for him imo.

I like Diego Carlos. Very good signing for them… again.

I wouldn’t say he’s particularly pacy tbh; faster than Bruno and a very good ball carrier though. Different types of player but imo he’s a more talented footballer than Bruno.

Where are these rumours about Bowen et al having medicals?
