Kid Icarus

FWIW, I was told last night that we were looking at Mainoo. The amount of players we've been 'looking at' is insane though, totally worthless information at this point.

Also provides delicious evidence that he's fit and available despite continuing to not uphold his contract with his club.

If he gets the move it would immediately undermine the notion that he's been stupid like, but as things stand he definitely seems to be.

It's my reluctance to think anyone, let alone him, would be this stupid, that makes me think this can't be over yet.

Nice, now we can afford Yamal.

His conversion rate is what I think is really interesting. In a way it sort of undermines any wider xG you apply to him.

We have a Twitter bullshit thread, I'm sure.

That range (3 under to 2 over) doesn't seem a big deal either way tbh.

Would you also believe this that they've just posted?

It's Sports Witness lads

If you're Wolves you probably look at the date and reject the bid again.

Situations like this confuse me like. I'm sure it's not this simple but you'd think it would just be a case of "will you take £60m then? Same structure" wouldn't you?

The argument that Larsen and others are worth £60+m is all well and good, but the same argument means Isak should be around £175m. Not just because of the market but because spending £60m on players like JSL negates our profit.

No CEO is going to be announced in the middle of a transfer window like this and be tied to it, it just wouldn't happen. I'd put good money on it being announced in September.

It's probably more, this is just the latest pursuit of a player I cba with. I wonder how many rejected bids/players choosing other clubs situations we've had. It must be close to 20 and I'd be surprised if most people don't feel the same about this window, it's proper draining.

You have the bear in mind that £55m is nothing compared to not getting relegated.

I love how these reports of bids always come packaged with a rejection. Absolutely cba with this now, we need to do what we did earlier in the window when we changed our approach a bit. These PL targets are a waste of time now.

Don't think anyone thinks any different, but I hope the higher ups don't think that means we need to sell to Liverpool this summer, because that's also untenable.

I'm expecting them to go for Wissa if Isak doesn't happen

You don't cup tie a player you're about to sell. Would be staggered if we signed him now.

It's alright though, our transfer team are confident.

Not just saying it to get a reaction, but that's the worst I've ever seen. I remember thinking Bolton were bad.

What, because it's got a Harvey Nichols like that's supposed to mean something?

It's exactly the same as in any other fanbase. Go on any football forum and they're all the same, it's uncanny. Saying that, if people are blaming Tino and Elanga I think it's only fair to explain why they're in the position they were in.

They're not. Thiaw has been pulled out to Chiesa.
