Great idea. They finished dead last . I’d take JWP in a heartbeat too btw.

Yeah. Petty as it is, that’s ship’s sailed now. You’ve made your choice, now live with it.

good all-rounder then.

Nah, you read correctly- it’s my bad. I was sure he was a winger/ attacking midfielder ala Pedro. Could swear he was playing as a striker against us as well? Didn’t realize he was mostly deployed as a centre-mid.

Plays across the front 3? Distinctly remember him playing up front against us as well, unless I’m mistaken?

Good alternative to Pedro, especially if he’s going cheap.

Any reason given as to why?

Still missing a 6 (or a 4, whatever) there.

Been beating this drum for ages. The kits from Castore have been pretty decent quality-wise. Is the grief they’re getting due to their service?

He just doesn’t suit their system (they need inverted fullbacks). In terms of traditional, overlapping left-backs -when he’s fit- there aren’t many better in the Prem.

I think he’ll do well, and by well I mean getting them between 5th-7th place. They still have a very decent squad (with good youth prospects to come through) and no European distractions.

It’s mainly for their World Cup bid. Big name players to the league will legitimize KSA as a footballing nation, brings more eyes to the league and indirectly promotes KSA as a tourist destination to outsiders that had never even thought about the country before.

He’s gone from being our talisman to being on the periphery in a year. Must be tough; I’m sure he’s just fishing for a bit of love and providing an apology of sorts for a disappointing season (in terms of his own performances/ fitness).

You may have seen Cherki more than I have but he never struck me as a “Howe-ball” player. Lacks physicality and I definitely wouldn’t call him “high-energy” either.

Okay. 40 then.

No one supports the other Saudi teams, man .

Potential transfer income included in the 150m? How do they know who we’re selling and how much we’ll be getting from them? Nonsense.

Would be amazing. I think it’d be the case of one or the other with JM and DS though. Replace one of them with Lavia and it’ll have been a near perfect window.

The McTominay hate is wild btw. I get that he’s not incredible but the reaction to just being linked to him is waaay over the top. He’s not that bad ffs and would probably be (at bare minimum) decent enough for us and our system.

I had changed my mind on Veiga after actually watching him in the Barcelona game. Obviously he’s going to Liverpool now that I think he would have been a good signing Hopefully means we’re the best option for Thuram now. Liverpool can’t sign all the midfielders.

Livramento would be great cover for Trippier. Not that I believe it for a second. Pizza Rob

Ridiculous that Boehly’s incompetence will seemingly go unpunished here. Chelsea will probably make over 200m in sales this summer and go on another spending spree. What a joke.

70 million?!

We don’t necessarily need an out-and-out destroyer style dm but someone with a bit of strength, physically and who can win the ball back in midfield would really help the balance imo. In saying that, it’d also be nice to have another player (other than Bruno) with a bit of vision and passing ability. In an ideal world we’d get a player who can do both.

McTominay is reported to be on 50k a week. I think Man Utd would be happy to sell him to us to free up funds for someone like Rice, as well.
