It is British.

Garnacho? No thanks.

Bath water is well and truly cold.

Quoting lyrical exercise off the cuff. I salute my branks.

Gallowgate shots is what I listen too. It's better than those listed above

I hear you personally id let go BUT I do understand we may hang on to him for reasons mentioned earlier.

Replacements are the turnover, it seems Eddie likes a settled group, the additions we need at a baseline level this summer is already 4-5. Also it's a question of how you allocate your budget and manage your amortisation.

That depends on what happens between now and next summer. I know people love to do the old 12 =70m trick but obviously it's not that simple. He's a good lad and I don't think Eddie is the kind of manager who loves a lot of turnover on a window by window basis.

No idea but I do see a path where keeping him makes sense. We know the club is now very much aware of the finance side and replacing him this season might not make much sense. Especially if we get every other position sorted. Let him walk for free in 12 months with a replacement being a priority for next season.

Athletic are saying this was Leeds third bid and they are done.

They are trying to shift Nkunku yes, Palmer and that injury stole his thunder he's looked a shadow of the player he can be during his stay at Chelsea.

Aye, I'm sure they will improve but playing with 9 men in the defensive phase is rough. We clap them like we did PSG at SJP under the lights though.

Yeah that's what I'm referring to, Dortmund are nothing special at present.

Not convinced we will mind. VVD is ancient at this stage. Wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool got both but Guehi on a tree yesterday.

Having two attackers who won't defend on the modern game is a disaster when you come up against any opposition in your ballpark. They can get away with it against Getafe at home, but id love to welcome them to SJP and send them back with a hiding.

Everton signed Barry from Villareal, will be interesting to see how he gets on. The athletic mentioned him in a piece as an alternative to delap.

Nothing credible thankfully.

Can we stop posting will bullshit in here and keep him in the brain-dead twitter thread.

That's the compromise Cuba, as I've said we can't afford to do everything we would want/need to. It's why we have to be careful with how much we pay and the age profile we target, for us signing assets that won't appreciate it value is a mistake, we have to be ready to sell and apart of this is being able to choose who we sell for minimum negative impact. This is why we have to be quite firm on the players who we do target.

Aye it would be however for me, players in that 28+ range have to be freebies. We are definitely in a tricky spot as I doubt we have the budget to do everything this summer and some form of compromise will have to be found.

For me, it's a concern If we are just throwing money on fees for older players mind, let's hope the club has the foresight not too.

Wissa and Watkins both have lots of talent but are the wrong age profile for us.

He's canny value for any lower half club imo. 10m is a bargain. Id take Pope at 10m over Long staff at 10m anyday.

Wed need more than that. Keepers can usually go longer. Would want at least 10 he's a quality keeper and too good to sit on the bench.

His contract is up in 12 months. We have to shit or get off the pot. We can't afford to lose players for free.
