Seems about right, honestly I think our interest died with the Murphy deal despite what the media says.

Surprised that hasn't happened already tbh.

This is where i'm at, can't say i have ever seen him play mind.

Not saying they started working on them in last 24 hours, just that Rafa has pressured them into working faster to get shit done. That is to say that i don't believe we'd be talking about 2 players being signed if Rafa kept quiet, at least not yet.

I think it's incredibly naive to think Mike Ashley and his chronies won't do f*** all given the chance as he has been doing. I also think it's naive based on history of Mike Ashley running this football club that they do nothing for weeks and "coincidentally" a day after being called out publicly by his manager not one but two signings are happening. You can choose to believe it's a coincidence if you want but to me that's incredibly naive considering the history of Ashley and how he's ran the club.

Agreed, shame about the source mind. Can definitely be put down to bullshit.

Yeah, you keep believing that.

Come on They do nothing for weeks and then we have two signings having medicals within a day of him speaking out. Of course they are the reason.

Yup.

Nothing wrong with that either, we don't need a starting RB. Even if the lad is bang average we won't be relying on him week to week.

I don't think it's a myth it's more physical personally, it's just the PL has much higher technique, tactically intelligent players and all while playing at a much higher pace. But the physical thing in isolation is true imo, plus as mentioned the refs allow you to get away with a lot more tbh.

Of course he would, he played for Sunderland. Not like he's some hyped up player with some amazing reputation.

Even if we sign him he won't play much anyway, Yedlin will start pretty much every time he's available. The question is more than anything else is he better than playing Mbemba at RB? The likely answer is yes.

Aye we need a backup otherwise we'll see more of Mbemba at RB

We want sign Ojo now Murphy is all but done, it was an either/or situation.

I mean it would be our 2nd signing that wasn't here last year, I wouldn't call expecting a lot more being greedy tbh.

He's a winger, it's not a now we need thing anyway. It's been an obvious need since Cabaye and Ben Arfa left. I mean Diame played the majority of games there ffs.

We're desperate for someone to play behind the striker so I'm not sure I agree. He's not coming anyway though.

#10 is the most important considering we'll play 4231 and the current options are very, very dire. At least at striker and CM we have players in Gayle and Shelvey who in theory are good enough even if we would like better.

Purebloods, I like it.

As if its because of Rafas's words If you meant the interview today. Dunno, seems too coincidental to me. They do fuck all for weeks and suddenly mere hours after he called them out publicly we agree a fee for a wanted target. It could be coincidence granted, but it would be silly to rule it out.

Glad to hear this. Seems like Rafa's words are already putting things in motion. But he shouldn't have to do that for them to get off their arses.

Can't even re-sign Gouffran, what a disgrace.
