Going there with Ederson though, you’re probably looking at him having had a few injuries, only got one year on his contract etc. Fairly easy to think you’ll just sit tight for a bit then get your chance. Not too dissimilar to coming here with Pope really. However, they go out and sign arguably one of the best keepers in the world coming into his prime, that’s completely different.

Agreed. Seems an awful lot of noise for there not to something in it mind.

If this ends up happening what an absolute clusterfuck of a decision Trafford has made.

I genuinely wonder who people think brought in all the players that have got us where we are?

Nah, I reckon we’ve still got at least 4 places available (including Thiaw). Hall, Miley and Seung-Soo won’t take up a place.

Definitely Joelinton/Willock in our system. But like with those two, the option to play further forward if need be.

Andy Howe

Lot of motorcyclists amongst them

Releasing this through the media is clearly designed to ramp up a vicious backlash from the fanbase, therefore making it ‘impossible’ for him to stay and forcing the club into selling. It’s the most obvious tactical move you’ve ever seen.

You mean Percy? Edwards retweeted it FWIW

Strong first impressions on his character - gave the lad that took his bags up to his hotel room a £20 tip last night.

It’s better than playing Targett or Ashby in midfield.

Ha, wasn’t you, it was @PauloGeordio. Think I’m just developing a fetish for tagging you.

Osula didn’t do any of that when playing as a CF mind (OK, maybe he did a bit against Bromley). Every time he’s impressed it’s been from out wide. Wilson’s performance away at Birmingham in the cup, as average as it was, was better than anything Osula has produced when playing as CF* *for us anyway, as @bobbydazzla mentioned, he did look much better in the U21 euros, albeit that’s hardly the same level. I want Osula to succeed and be a genuine option as CF, not just because he seems likeable, but because he’s clearly got the raw attributes that could make him very good, if he can knit it all together, but he’s got to try and show a bit more in the limited chances he does get centrally.

That’s probably what Spurs thought about MGW…

Ah, that answers my question…

“We should be all….” Nah, never saw where he fitted in for us. Will be interesting to see how he goes at Forest though. Also interesting to see these sales by Man City, who ponder if they’re gearing up for something big, or just stockpiling the cash for future windows?

O9’s probably busy training tbf

Presumably one of the Madrid ones is the fella the mackems are signing from Getafe?

Mickey Quinn

Feel the same with Joao Palhinha. Fair enough he’s got a more impressive back catalogue from Fulham, but unless there’s a reason I don’t know about (wants to be back in London or whatever), Bayern peddling him after a season is a red flag.

I’d estimate that getting in four players of the (established) quality of Guehi, Paqueta, Gallagher and Jackson using the ‘Isak money’, would mean an uplift in our current weekly wage of about £400k - £500k.
