. Don’t want to ruin the gag but I’m really stressed about what people who haven’t seen the office are making of that post.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not only did they undermine him in an authoritative sense, but they left an image in my mind of him naked on all fours literally being done doggy style.

Above 50m gor Ramsey is steep, but that’s the market for young English talent. 10mish more could get you MGW though, who’s clearly a better player.

Agree generally, with what you’re saying but I don’t think he’s that far off those 3 while being younger. Ideally we’d go for a physical monster with bags of vision and technical ability but there aren’t many of those players available.

Let’s be real, Onana and Billing would walk straight into the xi we fielded against Fulham (and likely against Villa too). I do really like Onana btw- lacks a bit of technical quality but physical units like him with elite technique are pretty rare. He’s obviously not worth 60m but a well-coached Onana, in the right system, is a player that can add value to any squad.

Yeah, he’s gonna be the next big thing. Unlikely he’ll come to us, especially without CL football. Shame really, as we probably could have got him last summer.

Cheers for the lessonini.

Wish we’d be making transferinis of our own tbh.

Cheers for setting up the tap-in.

Ashamed to say I have the same hoody.

Sorry . Wasn’t trying to stick the knife in.

Kyle Walker for 50m too. Etc.

I’d be really happy with MGW. Good player; not really a winger though.

Who was that kid we had that was impressing Messi with his keepie-ups? Him.

Eh? 100m is a good price for Bruno.

50 odd at least, you’d imagine.

Out of Bruno, Botman and Isak, Botman is the one that’s easiest to replace for the money we’d get for him imo.

How much?

No?

Yeah. Had to have surgery. Shame, really as I think he’s been hard done by through how solid defensively we’d been last season. “Always a 7 out of 10” - everyone.

Obvious one and probably been mentioned but Wilshere looked like he was going to be a phenomenon. The kind of player you didn’t ever see England produce at the time.

Has Rakitic been mentioned? Still a very good and elegant footballer at 35 (or whatever) but he had all the technical ability to have been one of the best midfielders of his generation.

Do teams ever have smokescreens? Seems like a well-worn transfer window trope that I doubt ever happens. Sorry to be a dick as the rest of your post I do agree with.

Yeah, I’m all for Livramento starting ahead of him but with Trippier out, he had to start. Salah’s made better fullbacks look just as hapless tbf. Starting Hall (with the limited game time he’s had) against one of the best wingers in the league wasn’t a much more appealing option.

Yeah, besides our panicky relegation-threatened window, this doesn’t seem in keeping with our transfer policy (which is a shame imo).
