Think a CM is still possible but it would be very late in the day. It doesn’t feel like you’re going to be able to get much value in a market where Arsenal and Chelsea are tearing about offering silly money for anyone vaguely competent in that position.

Lad’s a cock tease.

It’s mint that this regime already has its Brett Emerton.

It’ll happen, if only because they can’t afford to not sell him. Anything they make is pure profit for FFP with him being a youth product.

I think we’ll get a couple of deals done, but I understand why the club are approaching the window in such a considered fashion. In every regard our money will go a lot further in the summer - who we can attract, size of fees quoted, FFP limits etc. There’s no point doing another Chris Wood type transfer, where we sign someone for the now and then have a very expensive fringe player in six months time that’s going to cause us issues. In a perfect world I’d like to see us throw caution to the wind to get top 4 sewn up, but the club have a plan and they’re sticking to it.

Great appointment for them. Dyche is incredibly underrated. It went tits for him last year but there was more than a whiff of Howe-Bournemouth about that.

F1 and Formula E are two completely different series, owned by two completely different companies.

I think I’ve identified the issue.

£35m rising to £50m if he gets a haircut

Need to get him and Isak into the starting XI as soon as possible.

we should just close the club down to stop you from offing yourself the next time we hit a bad run of form.

Where does he stand on the moon landings?

How has this become more mental than the transfer thread?

I think Russia would’ve probably told everyone if the West was lying about going to the moon.

You can look in a telescope and see the landing site

I love this thread.

If you’d looked at this forum during our last relegation season none of our players would’ve come away with glowing reports. Then three years later two of the most disliked were playing against one another in the CL final.

I’m not his biggest fan, but I don’t think his signing would be a travesty without parallel even at some of the fees quoted. At the end of the day he’s 21, homegrown, and spent his entire career to date playing for a massively dysfunctional club. It’s not unreasonable to think he might have something about him and just needs to be coached correctly.

Burn dragged on a bit. He was effectively signed with a few days to go.

This is where I’m at. Isak was basically done by the time anyone got wind of a deal. There’s a week to go.

My biggest pet peeve is people spending the entire match with their heads buried in the Paddy Power app, only looking up to whinge. Does my absolute tits in.

He’d fit perfectly into our current squad tbf.

I can’t muster the energy to get wound up by this like. I don’t rate him particularly highly, but if the club do then I’m comfortable with it. At the end of the day he’s 21 and Howe’s already demonstrated he can get a tune out of a workhorse winger with questionable end product.

2024.

I thought we were mates.
