Funtime Frankie

It's where Paul Mitchell will get judged. He has a good track record of this and with our extended scouting programs. I hope we are able to find similar players to Dibling abroad for much less than the English premium.

Brazilian club to hoover up all the young talent and sell to us well below market rate. Happens all the time with Red Bull and other multi club models.

I think Osula was bought as a 3rd forward who would have a year to develop behind Isak and Wilson. However due to Wilson always being injured, he is the 2nd striker but is not developed enough for Howe to be given meaningful minutes to, hence why Gordon is preferred in that role. I think the next CF we bring will be young but more experienced than Osula. For example played in European competitions or over 50 games in top division

Iwobi is on form and a major threat

Have they cranked up the mics in the away end?

It's about some ship but I was in the block next to the "ultras" 2 seasons ago and couldn't really work out the lyrics

Was Wissa celebrating before he took the retake?

Given that they bought him for approx 12 million not sure how high the release clause will be.

I think we will go for a young forward to replace Wilson so either this guy or Stefanos Tzimas who have both scored lots in their division. It's hard to attract a top forward as they know they will be second fiddle to Isak.

Not sure why any funding would be a massive mistake to a point sure. If they contribute sufficient to get a benefit via taxation or growth from the funding I don't see how this is a bad thing

Maybe it won't be financial help but regulatory to approve planning instantly. I saw this discussed on SSN and was thinking this government will be helpful to push through our plans for a new stadium even if there are blockers

I hope we sign Wilson and Longstaff to one year deals soon but both with a buy out clause say £7 million and £15 million respectively which will hopefully be activated in summer window. I think both would sign up to this out of loyalty to the club. If we can sell both Kelly and Miggy in this window then we should have a fair amount of room to invest in the summer. I would like a loan with obligation to buy into the club this window though as we need to freshen things up

Worst signing in Premier league history is Antony

We need to get KWP in the summer on a free as an option for both fullback positions especially if Trips is off. I thought he was in his 30s but only 27

Would be a great signing reading rumours about him and remember in summer there was a premier league club who had approx €70 million bid rejected for him but according to an article from a week ago asking price is now €44 million. Bringing him in will increase shirt sales from South Korean fans massively

Offside I think

He has a skill set which could be seen as desirable by many teams. He covers a lit of ground and can break up play well. We just have Tonali and Miley who can do the same and also pass progressively and look comfortable on the ball. I hope a Everton, West Ham or Leeds pay 10 million plus for him to allow us to buy genuine quality

Probably where the hair came from

The Turkish window closes a week after ours. I reckon if able to do a medical we can sell him there.

I think having loads of different managers at Roma he wants to have familiarity with an ex manager. I am surprised though that no top flight clubs were in for him though

Looks like it at approx 20 million.

Scalvini. Just come back from a long term injury and then got injured again. These young options are better value than Guehi.

Touché

Only a few minutes. They were in same squad for a lot of friendlies but rarely on the pitch together. I researched this in the summer window when he was one of my favourites to sign. Kubo hasn't had a great season and the amounts quoted I think there is better value and less risk elsewhere
