So the deal would have to be in process of being done since early today or even yesterday

The man who would have us comfortably top half next season

A poor back up plan this like

Fuck sake, just that little crumb of Zapata news is gonna have me hitting f5 for next two hours at least

Exactly, also it’s about the balance of the squad. I’d prefer to not have to play Manqy on his unnatural side if we don’t have to.

Oh don’t play with us like this Downie, don’t fucking do it. Would give a testicle for this signing

Even if they were fighting relegation isn’t that the type of mentality we absolutely want in a player right now? A solid defensive LB who’s been in the trenches with his side before, the key point for me is how it lets ASM play in front of him. It makes total sense to me, based on performance I’d love us to sign him permanently in the summer as an upgrade on Dummett

Gayle is physically fucked, he did his hamstring a couple of times and has been scared to run ever since.

Liverpool wont let Minamino leave apparently, stated a few days ago

Very solid addition

Raphinha it is then

Closing this thread now, ffs

Seems like we hung our hopes on the Ekitike deal as it looked so likely, then for Lingard to fall through is a big blow. There has to be someone else they are working on.

Yeah with no Lingard we are only one more injury away from being right in the shit, cant see where those extra few goals will come from

I wonder who the next target on the list is..

So they were just wasting time

This will happen. Its in all parties interest to get this one done, a little more haggling over the fee and it'll be done.

He might already be en route, let me believe for the next hour at least

please please please please

Targett and Burn tied up within the new few hours then. Plenty of time left for Lingard.

Cant blame the kid, stay where you are for another 18 months and keep developing. Good head on his shoulders to turn down the money at his age like

Put the bottle down Merson, Bruno isnt breath taking? Has he seen our squad and where we are in the league??

With our current squad Targett is way better than squad filler, he instantly becomes our first choice LB

They forgot to write Zapatas name after Lingards
