Always rated Emerson whenever I've seen him play. Should just bid for him.

Yeh exactly. Obviosuly hope it's the former but when you factor in the 2 tier wages we'll inevitably have in the dressing room, you do wonder what the chances are for players to carry on the fight.

"For clarity"

Someone's had a word in his ear and told him to reel it in. Not that I want to put a downer on things but I do worry if this kind of activity unsettles our players, something like this surely will?

Boring isn't it? Just staying in reading transfer rumours with ya life.

Based purely on my extensive 8 minutes of YouTube scouting I'd love him here.

Aye thoughts so, you can taste the bitterness from his tweets.

Aye thats definitely us. This guy was anti takeover IIRC.

Newcastle United. Loads of money. Helping Barcelona out. Is this real life?

The thing with PEA is he relies on service, and we've not really been crafting the type of chance he'd thrive from. I'd rather go for a striker who can link up well and bring others into the game a bit more.

Love this kind of player. Nasty prick who backs it with quality.

Ugh! What an utterly rancid quote. 'My sporting aspirations is to join a one horse race'

Interesting for this new link to come out after its rumoured Lille have bumped up the price. Seems like this guy is on the same level as Botman.

Tbf, it's literally my only source so I'm not sure where to go if I can't speculate on speculation.

Well by virtue of the lack of links to alternatives. Suggests we're not prioritising a winger. Full backs, CD and CM widely accepted as being our priority positions, no?

Winger too! I don't understand why Murphy and Almiron are deemed good enough as right wingers.

Let's hope so. Can see more signings of the Trippier ilk ie established high quality players, but signing some of the games brightest talents feels like a totally different challenge when they can just wait for 6 months. Having said that, I imagine the wages we can offer to a players who's career has been in Holland and France may sway things.

Yep agree. I'm not actually confident of getting him as I think he's still just slightly out our reach (old habits die hard) but nothing I've read so far really validates that concern at this moment in time, certainly nothing written from that bald shitcunt.

Having an offer rejected is not the same and not for sale. He has a price, I'm sure.

We're operating exactly how we did pre Ashley, only now we can actually afford it, and then some. Our only consideration should be whether the player improves our team or not.

His crossing and set penis ability is worth £20m alone.

Wonder how we'll spend the other £19m

It should, you're right. Still think we have some tricky things to navigate like games in hand and bedding in new players - or even getting players in the first place - but yeh the backlash feels like a big win for now.

Downgrading from a 9 to a 7. All this backlash over a couple of postponed games tells me others teams are legit bricking having to play us with a strengthened side which can only be a good thing for our survival hopes. Already feels like we're going into games 1-0 up. Long may it continue.
