Crimson Cardigan

I don’t know. Elanga had the third most assists in the league in a super defensive side and can get better. Bakayoko might never get near that. If Eddie and Co are unconvinced they’ve earned our faith I think.

Nah we don’t take “punts” on random foreign players. It’s Eddie’s picks or nowt. I can live with that.

His prattling mate Seems like a thinly veiled attempt to drum up a rival bid from Chelsea, in which case: game over

Especially considering the shit Almiron got on here was a million times worse.

Not many thought we needed the Pope upgrade either and it was transformational. Also if this lad tears it up this season for Burnley he’ll be on the way to fucking Chelsea before we know it. He’s our long term target. Let’s get it done.

Are these serious questions? He’s young. If he had Ederson levels with his feet and was as commanding as Pope he’d already be at Real Madrid.

Anderson? Murillo? Milenkovic? All cracking signings.

They have a huge amount of saleable assets. It’s a pain for them, but they’ll easily make up the money.

Be happy with Ramsay for the price. The whole helping out Aston Villa thing is irrelevant, if not us, someone else will bite. They’re not going to be docked points.

I’m surprised that there’s no better side in for Gyokeres, but then I’m always surprised when a player opts for the modern day Man Reds.

Miggy scored more than Joelinton too. What’s your point?

Hopefully one of these days someone will have the brains/integrity to tell Chelsea to fuck off. They can’t ALL be soulless, dead eyed mercenaries. Right?

You’d be hoping Elanga (and Pedro) would force the issue. We are a champions league side and I’m not sure Forest will be anywhere near that again next season.

Article says 60 and that Howe sees him as ideal to play WITH Isak.

We’re not scouts but that doesn’t stop us writing off players in the premier league based on all kinds of personal bias/ignorance. Can’t have it both ways.

Who would you rather? This sometimes translates to: I want us to take a punt on a foreign player I’ve never seen play.

Another thing, we’re in fairly desperate need of someone who can take a free kick and Elanga put in some great ones last season.

Seems like If he stays he’ll be on a heavily incentivised deal, which should mean he’s realistically on buttons. I don’t think his ego will go with that - he’ll absolutely believe he can get a real contract elsewhere.

Retaining all of them (not that I actually think we will) has next to nothing to do with making new signings though, unless you were super pumped about getting Krul and Foster in.

Edwards says we are still being charged “A Saudi Tax” and are “furious” about it. Apart from that, all the usual names, loads of internal frustration and 2 signings in before July.

despite the overwhelming evidence of this season, my brain simply refuses to accept that Matt Selz is now good, because he was so unbelievably shit for us. Guess the move was just too early for him.

The more they pay, the more hamstrung they’ll be later on trying to get rid of them and the more likely the players drop off and just take the wages.

We’re back to wanting to flog Gordon are we? Sometimes I think we will never have a squad here. As soon as someone goes off the boil, or is on the bench for a while (Barnes, Miley) folks are plotting their exits.

Real and Barca wanted him though

Yeah, keen on the 250k per week, the greedy dope.
