Deuce

wonder if Beautiful Mario would be worth a shout. Another leftie mind.

Given that no one here actually has a fucking clue how negotiations have been going, sure why not?

If we buy him cup-tied, that should genuinely knock a bit off the asking price.

Liverpool looked extremely good against Brentford at the weekend and have a very deep squad already. Early days yet, and they need answers for when VVD and Salah eventually move on, but they’re hardly in need of a squad refresh. Chiesa would be a terrific low risk, high reward addition.

The former, but us subsequently playing well.

NUFC spends £70m on Guehi: heads need to roll. NUFC balks at spending £70m on Guehi: heads need to roll.

Are people really convinced that we have no other irons in the fire? That it’s been Guehi or bust for the past month? Not sure what evidence there is for that.

It’s clever only if we end up paying their inflated asking price. If we walk away Palace gets nothing and Guehi probably leaves for half the price next summer.

exactly my thought

Both of those things can be true though

There’s no way he’s not doing his best retired Ronaldo impression at this point

at the risk of leaning too far into a meme, Tonali really is like a new signing.

Should offer them a third of Guehi’s price for Richards instead.

Agreed, but it’s one of the reasons we’re limited on spending.

Hugely underrated story of the window. Fraser, Hayden, Lewis, and arguably Targett, burning a hole in the squad. Desperately need to shift their wages off the books.

Gonna be laughs when we get him for £45m

All feels like a smokescreen at this point. Expecting the imminent Antonio Silva signing announcement any day.

could get one of these on every new page at this point

Perfect way to put it

Chelsea academy doesn’t half produce really technically proficient youth players.

Watching the Wolves-Chelsea highlights. Fairly even match for the first 50 for so, before Chelsea ran away with it. Noni’s a very good finisher. Lemina hit an absolute peach of a volley for a goal that was disallowed.

Doubt the price quoted us would’ve been 13m, mind.

Might not be fair given they’ve played Arsenal and Chelsea, but Wolves could be in trouble this season. Lost Neto and Kilman and haven’t really made any inspiring signings (on paper).
