Optimistic Nut

Feels like for all their gambles, they could have had Walker & Longstaff for £15m combined and they'd instantly be their best two players.

14 when Isak takes the 9.

Welcome.

When you look at some of the backup strikers Spurs had when they were in the position we're in now, trying to convince someone with quality to play second fiddle to Kane, he's on the same sort of level as that. Think as long as we have Isak we'll be in a situation where it's Frees/loans to plug a gap now that Wilson's gone.

I think he could do a Chris Wood type job for us in that he'd let us play the same way even when Isak's out, and he's someone you could stick on for 20-30 mins for Isak when we're a couple of goals ahead.

Hearts signing a Burkino Faso international winger with 11 goals in 16 games in the Estonian League. That is so Tony Bloom.

Don't think it will take much for Man Utd to overtake the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth & Brentford like, especially with no Europa League distraction. Around 8th would probably be par, but could easily take a couple more positions only playing once a week.

I mean, that sums them up..We absolutely battered them that day until Colo got incorrectly sent off.

Arsenal will still be seen as the plucky underdogs in the title race even after this, the Spanish midfielder & Madueke.

Put a week or so ago, £30m is getting Sunderland a pretty unproven midfielder to help in a relegation battle, we're signing Elanga because we think he's good enough to compete in a top 4 challenging team and already has Premier League experience. I think it's a realistic fee.

Sure I remember Coventry buying John Hartson for £5,000,001 just to make him a record signing or some bollocks like that.

They could do with a signing like Kyle Walker.

It's been over a day since the last update, they MUST post some filler for engagement.

Think he's at the perfect club/level for him. He'd be a decent squad filler for one of the other big teams or us, but for his career I hope he's seen what happened to Barkley, Rodwell, Phillips, etc and stays where he is. Unless he fancies being one of those squad fillers here.

I see that dog who celebrates Fluminense's goals on Instagram had it's account suspended, because it shows footage of the games in the video. Fuck sake man. Account is now back thankfully, but they've had to change the camera angle to not include the TV. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLLtn8iJuNu/?igsh=MWhpYm02enNuaThncw== and how the videos normally look. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DK3S4nnt2y1/?igsh=bHcyYmxtMGhpNDJz

Good signing for them.

Cast dedicated Walkaway to him tonight supporting Oasis.

I'd settle for Calvert-Lewin as the striker backup if Elanga, Scalvini & Trafford were the first XI upgrades. Still hope we sell Longstaff or Willock so we can get another midfielder too though.

Think it's a much bigger priority than forward. Burn & Schar aren't getting younger, Botman has missed most of the last 18 months and Lascelles seems finished. Wouldn't take much for a big drop off from either of Burn or Schar just based on age. Not saying we don't need both but a younger CB is crucial.

Hearts third kit.

I'd argue if we were still in European competition going into the New Year, we'd have done something in the window as well. The new format, you're still playing the group games into January.

Was pretty excited when we signed him. Liverpool had him earmarked for the "Tsimikas" role and as Robertson's successor but we offered more and first-team football. Just never happened for him, shame. Could see him at Rangers or back at Norwich or something.

Also a non-gambling ban or a freak shoulder dislocation away from running them close the season we ended 7th, too. Keep seeing you say that but take McGinn out of their team for 7 months for things outside your control and Martinez out for half a season, do Villa "manage" the season any better?

Not sure about Villa tbh. Think they desperately need CL qualification this season or that's it. How many more accounting tricks do they have to fall back on now? We still have those to come if we get desperate. Plus one big sale to fall back on when we have 3 or 4 £80-100m bracket players.
