I personally beleive the rumours of a willingness to sell are actually true tbh and I'd not exactly be against it. Just looking at some of the most successful front 3s and the common theme seems to be an ability to link up well and it's not something I see with our 3 at all, not even close tbh and imo, ASM is bigger part of that than most would dare acknowledge.

I'd love to see him on the right a bit more. People talk about Almiron being 1 footed but this guy is not far behind. Giving him natural angles to pass and shoot with his favoured foot seems like it'd make sense for both our wingers tbh. Edit: I'm almost certain he's looked better on the right the few times we've seen him there as well.

A couple of players with real quality in the final third and we're in a seriously good place.

Wilson is such a fanny

Schär is such a fanny

ASM should play on right

English Diego Simeone

I think Maddison would be transformative in exactly the same way Willock was for that 6 month loan.

I'm not sure what PL coverage is like for that specific example but tbh it's just a generic point and tbf, it's the seller that get to value their player, not Barca.

Feel like some of these prices are dictated by how much they're hyped in the media. I bet there's a correlation between how much media coverage they get and the cost of their transfer.

Agreed. Certainly don't think it's a coincidence the colour schemes are the same.

Apologies if already posted but interesting spot on our second kit. Fun88 sponsorship ends next year doesn't it?

Suppose its predictable but seems like we're starting to ramp up our transfer activity.

Would love Werner here, much better than just his goals tally.

Cornet seems like a no brainer to me, especially for squad depth. A 10 goal forward would cost you 15m 10 years ago.

Fanny definitely wanks in the mirror to himself

I've thought this too, seems a significant portion of our recruitment - both on and off the field - are British orientated in some way, too much to be a coincidence imo.

Think Longstaff was great tonight, can see him really owning the holding role if he continues like this.

This is why I'm so relaxed about our recruitment, we're just a quality attacking player or 2 away from being able to convert some of our stray creative passing into serious chances, the rest of the foundations looks set.

Absolutely incredible what Howe is doing to this side. Absolutely certain he's the real deal and belongs at the top.

Signed 2 players by the 29th of January. Signed 2 more by the 31st (nearly 3).

What if it was a swap deal with someone like Pulisic?

Bit surprised we haven't had more agent and/or selling club driven links, mind. Can understand the explanation that the clubs plugged leaks from their side, but the other?

No compilations videos with Fort Minor soundtrack. Move on.

Because like Wood, I guess the value is not in the specifics of the finances involved, but in how he helps us achieve our immediate goals. 8th place and a cup run in a couple of years makes us more attractive both commercially and as a sporting project for the next level of players we'd need to take us to thr next level.
