No player that we can realistically sign.

Nah, he is too old for any of them to take seriously as a signing.

Remember back when the PIF came in and I thought transfer windows were suddenly going to be something to look forward to. Think I've only really enjoyed one or two since then.

Can we close this thread, at least for a bit. Sick of the sight of it constantly at/near the top of the page.

Way ahead of the curve on this one

Think someone has been winding you up, pal. That sounds like absolute bullshit.

Or bagman??

I mean, despite all his misses, he scored 10 in 30 last season. If Howe can improve him he could have a 15+ goal season in him.

The data folks on social media love him. Reckon he's a pressing machine.

Assuming this is all part of an elaborate ruse to get Liverpool/Arsenal/Man U/Spurs to buy him.

Guess it all depends on how much that extra is Vs how much better they think Scalvini is. I know Scalvini is the hot new name, but there may not be much in it between the two. Does anyone in here really watch enough Serie A to know for sure?

True, though I'd say that number is going up season on season. He is on the verge of breaking into that elite tier of player.

Best way to think of Mcginn is that, clearly he isn't going to come in and start, but he is a giant upgrade on Longstaff in terms of first cab off the rank when we need to make changes in the second half.

To be fair to the lad, there's only about 2 maybe 3 strikers in world football who wouldn't be a downgrade on Isak.

Have they even been linked with anyone?

Aye, he has become a meme for some of his misses, but 10 in 30 last season isn't shocking. If this did actually happen and he ended up leading the line for us I'd put money on him outscoring Sesko next season.

14 goals in 24 games in his last PL season. Would be fine with Mitro as an Isak backup.

Do you mean a large portion of the fanbase in here, then? Because that's very different to a 'large portion' in general.

10 days out between picking either Osula or Gordon to make do up front. I know the window doesn't close till the end of August, but to be in this state a week and a half before the first game is pretty shocking.

Ha, didn't say it would sort it. But from a PR point of view it's the only small step we can take in terms of damage control.

Move on. Fast. Brief we're moving on before anything else gets a leaked/announced from the player/Man U.

I'd love that, but we just aren't that high on their priority list. Even in terms of purely sport based investment LIV and the Saudi Pro League are clearly way above us.

Getting to the stage where if one of them don't come along to steal in I think the player must be really shite.

Fixed this based on how most of our signings have turned out under Howe so far.

Reckon there will be an Ollie Watkins thread by the morning.
