Half a dozen games. Though when saying games I mean/am hoping minutes.

Turns my blood to ice every time I see you predict a loss for us 😉

Had the same thought. Guessing he must reach an audience where the club want to increase our profile.

Away to Forest

Us and West Sham

Even more impressive that only two players who’ve played in last twenty years and 4, including them, from last thirty years. Top by some distance of that smaller sample. Kane’s 0.61 ratio mighty impressive though.

Clearly tight brief to interviewer in terms of what can be asked.

Deader than an ancient dragon’s egg in Game of Thrones.

Munoz from that annoying tiny London club, is my random defender pick. Lots of points from not many games last year.

Twice in a row would be a big ask, given our relative histories but, for what it is worth, I still think we will.

I’ve gone for that Haalandless forward line. We’ll see!

I wonder how much not (yet) being able to move on players who are clearly surpass to requirements is hampering us in terms of what we can offer for players we want? There’s been a lot of talk about Miggy, but what about Dubravka, Lewis, Fraser, Hayden off the top of my head. Are there others? Wonder how much it would spending power it would release?

He’s one we have watched, evidently rated, for some time. I would be delighted to sign him especially if it enabled the option of another RW/RF/RM star.

No definitive press about this, so: a) it is lined up and we need to get Guehi/an affordable option in first; b) it wasn’t a goer for whatever reason; c) it was all a load of bollocks. If, IF, we signed Yilmaz and Guehi then that would be two of my top five (realistic) wish list from the Euros and I’d/we’d all be cock a hoop about our prospects this season. Nobody, not even Man City, would feel confident about playing against a forward line of Gordon, Isak and Yilmaz. We would run most teams absolutely ragged.

Are we complicit in an elaborate ruse to enable them to get a replacement cheaper? (Ok I’m reaching…).

Should have had a bath 😉

There was a similar scene in the new series of the East German assassin show on Netflix, Kleo. Seems a bit niche/unlikely though!

Well, believe it’s Murphy’s shirt at the moment. So it’ll either be Miggy on the bench/competing or a newbie. Elanga/similar might give him tougher competition.

Love that!

Speculation linking us with Elanga this morning. He went to Forest for 17.5m, last year; 5 goals, 9 assists. Still only 22, three caps for Sweden. More affordable option if Miggy goes?

.com has Isak at £60m. Not certain about any additional payments. I’m guessing we’ll pay >=£55m for Guehi plus up to £10m add ons.

Don’t recall anybody saying that, let alone a crowd. We’ve bid for (at least) two £50m+ players, though doubt we’d have gone for Guehi if we’d got Olise. I think we will sign Guehi and in doing so make him our record signing. We’ll also have provisional ‘agreements’ in place for a right sided forward. Probably dependent on getting an acceptable bid and Miggy agreeing to leave. Add this to the other business (first team and for development/investment signings) and our outlay will have been significantly more than most expected and about as good as we could have hoped for.

Bowen’s brace?

Hope the water’s cleaner than @PauloGeordio’s looks!
