Nah the trading academy players has basically ended ffp tbh

Been aWhile since I've seen such a pathetic statisic. Of course it comes from Arsenal.

Excited for this one, looking forward to seeing us bounce back.

"Enjoy the game"

Yea it does. Even the good seats will be miles away.

Aye yeah SGD. national stadium has a running track anarl so miles away from the action even with good seats.

Fabi, you know what you have to do. Kobel would be an incredible buy.

Probably nothing to leak as I'm sure the update was a none update along the lines of, we continue to study the best options etc.

Yeah I'm constantly having to remind myself that this is likely a summer of compromise, Rafas bed sheet analogy in transfer window form if you will.

I'm so torn about DCL. his wage demands would be high as mentioned and his goal record is thoroughly uninspiring. Two good seasons in his career which feels like an eternity ago. Surely we can do better?

Will be reading this on the train home.

Yeah I had a feeling it would be like this when it was announced we'd be playing Arsenal. Ah well makes sense I guess the fees to pay both clubs to come and play here won't be cheap. My salary is more akin to a locals than an expat so I have to be more prudent.

This is your opinion right? You don't have any inside information for this ?

Not hand wringing about losing Anderson, he would have got ample game time though this season imo. Big Joe picks up a few knocks and Wilock has looked well off the pace. The issue is we made what was frankly a horrible deal at least the others were trading academy players so might actually be of some value. We got us a 4th choice keeper on a decent salary who we are stuck with.

Mbeumbo would be one if want to make a statement. I don't think he's actually in that high of demand. The clauses for Huijsen and Delap rule us out imo.

Yeah I think he did. We can get rid on loan at best I think. We will struggle to give him away. Wonder if we could ship him off to Saudi for 20m and claim market value as it's what we paid haha

Aye as I mentioned at the time, we made a horrendous deal to meet ffp. 15m for Anderson is nuts when Arsenal got 40m for smith Rowe

I think the only way delap comes here is if we sell Isak. Which even if we were to do that, he'd have gone elsewhere already. Huijsen won't be joining us either.

Delap came from the city academy right? Is he a local Mach? If yes I can see why Manchester red would be appealling like.

I really want us to shift Wilson on mind, but that being said getting everything done in one window is impossible for us, so if this is the compromise so be it.

Petition for thread title change. Return of king.

As if they could keep him away.

Massive news!

Unless our asking prices come down (they shouldn't) I don't see anyone willing to meet them. Im not concerned about us losing our stars this summer which gives us another go at it.
