"Here, we accept the 12m deal for Jacob but how about we throw in Josh and do a twin deal for 2m more?"

The signings we've made, plus a first-choice left-back and a marquee number 10 would have been a good window imo. And we can't use lack of funds as an excuse either, with the 20m net profit from sales. Rafa has done the best he could under very tough conditions.

Contemplating retirement but not officially done it yet.

Rafa sold him after one season. Great signing ffs. Koulibaly is his replacement. Makes a lot of sense imo. You watched a lot of Napoli like? So solid and great that once Koulibaly came in, Rafa sold him over the other CBs he had. Koulibaly is the best CB for Napoli, a team come closest to challenge Juventus in these few years. Fernandez is just an average player. What's surprising? Or you failed to understand that it's already "great" for us to sign an average player under current circumstances? Why should we be happy with signing an average player and proclaim how great it is? Give your head a shake.

Once Lejeune gets back, I doubt we will keep 5 CBs on the books anyway. If he* gets sold end of the season for a profit, happy days yeah. If he gets sold as a loss, the difference's effectively a loan fee for one season. * Could apply to any of the CBs. Just hope it's not Lascelles.

Was talking permanent transfers...

Possibly our first transfer deadline signing after how many windows?

Alan Nixon / The Sun any reliable like?

"Yes, you can sign players" means nothing when Barnes always stops them.

Can imagine the conditions for "spending every penny the club generates" as: 1. the club record transfer fee shall not be broken 2. the club will not pay over 10m for any player over the age of 26 3. there cannot be any players outside the 25-man squad. players have to be sold or loaned out 4. Justin Barnes has veto rights over any transfers It's impossible to work with such constraints.

"Rafa can have every penny the club generates" x 2.

Preseason or not, he's a free agent so he can sign past the windows anyway.

Serie A window closes on 17 Aug.

Can't loan him. We can if there's an obligation to buy. Think that's just rubbish from one of the journalists. Never seen it happen to show that it's true.

Can't loan him.

Don't worry. Not going to happen. Obivously it's 99.9% not going to, but howay imagine breaking the transfer record and blowing £20m on Ings man You're 0.1% too optimistic.

Don't worry. Not going to happen.

Doubt Charnley has been on the fax machine since we signed Rondon.

So excited, can't wait for Ash to prove the boycotting cunts they are all wrong.

We need to sign Harry Porter instead.

Why don't they get Keylor Navas plus cash for Courtois?

When I saw him a couple times he was really good on the ball, I wonder if LB and maybe a little coaching up at CDM wouldnt be in the offing? You're right though, at CB its not ideal albeit not unheard of. He was really impressive and Im actually a bit shocked that PSG would let him go, must be FFP considerations and trying to get money where they can, when they can. Otherwise you would think that they would find some random Ligue 1 side to loan him too for the time being. Like I said before, try and get Tim Weah in on the deal He's into the last year of his contract and is refusing to sign any extension as he wants playing time.

What was the outcome of the select committee hearing btw?
