Insane that our second highest transfer of all time is 30 year old Chris Wood. Imagine how much they'll be willing to spend on actual top class players.

Payments split over the 5 year contract? So instalments over 5 years? That's very interesting if so, FFP would take less of a hit right?

Minute 1:09 Badiashile makes a last ditch clearance to stop Etikite from scoring

Minute 1:50, His two favourite strikers are Drogba and Shearer.

£25 fucking mil, that's ridiculous. At lease it confirms that we're filthy rich and money is no object anymore.

For anyone saying this is an Ashley signing, ask yourself if Ashley ever met a release clause, then ask yourself how many 30 year old players he signed. Definitely underwhelming, but many times when we've played against burnley just Chris Wood's massive presence in the box used to make me shit myself every time they whipped a ball in or had a set piece. I think he'll do a job for us, at least while Wilson's not available.

I also think he would thrive being the main man here. Similar to Aubameyang for example I think these guys work better being the main man. Unfortunately I feel like Coutinho will also thrive at Villa for the same reason, Especially being managed by gerrard who he already has a relationship with.

I actually think Cantwell would be a great signing. Miles better than Almiron and still young enough to improve.

There was already a moment in the game today when ASM was fannying around with the ball towards the later stages, Trippier put his arms up and shouted at ASM to pass it or something along those lines.

I think CM has actually become the number 1 priority closely followed by a striker. I think we could just about cope with our defense if we got a decent CM/CDM in January. We definitely wouldn't be able to cope without a new midfielder and a striker if Wilson isn't back soon.

We should be biting Evertons hands off for that £1m

Let's restrict this clown to the twitter nonsense thread please. He clearly has zero credibility.

But where/when did Di Marzio say that the new bid has been rejected?

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that they rejected the first so I assume he means they still haven't accepted or rejected the second bid.

Am I understanding this wrong or does that mean that Trippier is on less than 100k p/w?

Is it confirmed that it's a 2.5 year deal? The mackems seemed pretty sure he'd be stuck on our books for 5 years while we went into a relegation spiral

Are you talking about Adama Traore the wolves player?

Messi told Diego Carlos to be careful and he responded by raking his studs up messi's leg.

Wasn't sure which thread to post this in but if anyone has a spare 20 minutes, this video has some interesting insights on the whole money in football and FFP debate.

We don't need a CM anymore, we have Joelinton

For anyone worried about Trippiers age, Thiago Silva is 38 now and has been class for chelsea.

If this signing would have happened last summer I'd have been happy with Trippier (and willock) alone. Now we might have 4 or 5 more on top of this signing.

Watched 2 mins and I'm all in. Gets an A+ going by my personal youtube scouting criteria.

Is this the same cunt we were linked with? Thank fuck that's not gonna happen.

Atletico Madrid play tomorrow so if we haven't heard anything else by then will be interesting to see if Trippier is in the squad. He has started the last 3 games AM have played.
