Gut instinct says it'll be Gibbs-White but I hope we can do better.

Well, he's "expected to stay" until one day he's suddenly gone. It's all binary.

Probably better than Trafford, was #1 for Benfica. Be silly if he was our #3 but they obviously have a plan in mind.

Insanely good fee, when you line it up with other deals both here and at other clubs. It feels like free money. Naturally there's a lot of FOMO going around about what he is/could be. But we're set to buy a top-quality player in that position anyway.

Fine with this. He's ok but ultimately our 7th CM. Would be slightly annoyed at £10m but the Minteh/Anderson combo sale is probably a win - despite the mental torture of today.

Great price, let's quickly get it done and forget these couple of minging days ever happened.

Every time I pick up the phone there's a new wacky swap/sale being proposed. Deals that would never normally happen. It's going to be a LONG weekend.

It just doesn't seem realistic at all. It's got to be a tactical 'leak' from the club, surely. No way we'd sell Gordon right now.

A week ago, the idea of receiving £30m for a player who has never played for us - and probably was never going to - would be great news. It was this morning, too. But Brighton? Oh man, does that mean we're selling a superstar?

Chelsea, Villa and Everton are having a nice little tea party, Forest are selling Niakhate.

Yeah at what point do we start to worry? Pretty embarrassing if we can't shift anyone, while these other clubs are trading for fun.

Chelsea are genuine transfer addicts. And nobody is reaching out to them, offering help.

Really don't like that kit Perfect for them

Not confident in Italy beating Switzerland, unfortunately. Think jammy England will scrape their way through to the final.

Man, if it means sacrificing a £60m winger for a £40m guy, fine. We've got to get this guy.

Fair play, Chelsea. This one's pretty funny But can you fuck off, please.

He's ours

Could just about tolerate a £20m fee.

Interesting to see us, Everton, Villa and Chelsea help each other meet the PSR deadline. Maatsen to Villa Chelsea want Duran/Kelleyman Dobbin + Iroegbunam swap And now this. Maybe Everton get Wilson in exchange?

Ending up at Bayern has to be seen as a success for us, considering it could easily have been Chelsea or Man Utd. I'd have been really disappointed in him if he chose Chelsea because he's always seemed like a smart lad... he's better than them. So fair enough that it's Bayern. I actually thought we might've had a chance against them, such is the Premier League pull. And they've been slightly off the boil of late (Kompany manager, Trippier bid, Dier purchase, 3rd in Bundesliga). But we never really stood a chance of buying Olise. It was all about putting our name amongst the elite, a statement of intent.

That's a big Maatsen fee. Is he good?

It's underway.... https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2024/06/14/euro-2024-notes-joy-for-wirtz-havertz-but-no-clean-sheet/

Sick of Chelsea, like. Really thought we'd finish above them for a second successive season, now they're manipulating all these players into thinking they're not a disgrace. Might sound crazy but I think he'd pick us over Bayern.... this version of them seems a bit off, they have Kompany in charge + aren't PL. Sounds like Man Utd's poor budget put managers off, while Man City are nervous about their 115 charges. We might therefore be in a straight shootout with Chelsea. From that point, hey maybe Olise is a smart lad. He rejected them last year, after all. Ahhh what am I doing... of course we won't sign him 🫤

Slovakia's current coach Calzona has just dual-jobbed it with Napoli for the last few months.

If it were to happen (which I doubt), it's maybe the best way to end things. We get to move up a level with our next appointment, he gets a top gig and it'd be a parting of ways without any toxicity or nastiness.
