Any chance we can get this calculator snagging nerd as our head scout? I think all the names from our 2022 list have been crossed off now.

I'm sure the link is a load of BS, but this is the sort of move I'd hope we'd be making more of. Instead of paying midtable clubs a premium for their ready made players which will end up being hijacked by the cartel anyway we should be looking for these guys on the continent before the end up at a Fulbrightfordmouth club. That said, welcome to Chelsea.

The paragons of football virtue have now only spent €300m before August despite their famously low ceiling. We're truly blessed to have the honour of sharing a league with them.

NJOY

We occupy an awkward position in the football food chain. We have built a CL calibre team but still operate on a mid table PL budget. To consolidate our position and establish ourselves as a perennial CL we need to build depth but the calibre of player require for that leap has gone up a tier. We're now fishing in the same pond as the cartel and European giants. They all have the best in class fishing gear whilst we're still using our Fisher Price rod and net. There's every chance we'll still get one or two bits of quality in but we'll have to wait until the cartel have had their share first. We can't compete with them in terms of finance, nor should we, 90mil all in all for Ekitike is fucking nuts man

Whereabouts in Glasgow? They should check out the transport museum while they're there.

Maybe the real transfer window is the friends we made along the way

Sensible signing for Leeds, akin to us getting Targett and Burn. of course before Burn became player of the season material/England international and Targett signed permanently and inserted a hidden clause in his contract ensuring his wage increases by 10% every week

Fair enough. I'll trust Eddie to make any old lump of rock into a statue. I'm ready for the: 🇺🇾👀⏳️ and "Nuñez only wanted Newcastle" tweets

Nuñez is a fucking carthorse, over paid, over priced and the dippers are desperate to offload him. No no no no no. The link is almost certainly BS anyway

Jee whizz. What's Loïc Remy up to these days?!

My logic being that we have 4 glaring weak spots. RCB CM depth Back up ST GK Anything less than fixing at least 3 of them is a failure. Which position is in most urgent need of repair though is a complete toss up

We can live without a new 1st choice GK this season IF we sufficiently strengthen at CB, CM and ST. Yes, that was pure copium. Time will tell, but there's no getting away from it, the optics here are terrible.

Non starter. Palace can't afford him. Unless they want to throw in Eze, Guehi or Wharton!

The stage is well and truly set for Chelsea to storm in and do what they do. That CWC cheque will.be burning a hole in their pocket. I look forward to the inevitable "Ekitike only wanted Chelsea" tweets.

In that case, we hold our hands up and walk away. Scenarios like that are just the reality of being where we are in the football food chain.

Fuck knows what's really going on behind the scenes, but if we're truly taking so long to conclude deals because of penny pinching then frankly we deserve the get punched in the mouth and lose out on every deal. People thought we were over paying for Hall and Livramento 2 summers ago, turns out we got a bargain. 40 million for a young, English keeper who could potentially serve us for the next 10 years is absolutely fuck all. Just fucking around and pay the money man!

I'd rather we give him away for free to some club in that vapid arsecrack of a league than one of the cartel get their hands on him. So I'd reluctantly accept him going to that vapid arsecrack of a league for a few years if they're gonna pay top dollar.

Oh fucking hell, here we go.......

We're still at the monitoring stage, it'll take at least a week before we reach the 'considering entering initial talks' stage

Never heard of Nico Schria, but he's more than welcome to get himself to fuck and once he arrives at fuck he can board the HMS GetYourselfToFuck and he can sail it to fuck

A concerned citizen Rich, a concerned citizen.

Reliable source? Yes, usually. In this specific case though, please note he said ' Newcastle are EXPLORING a move for Wissa'. We're probably exploring moves for dozens of players now.

Why is this even a thread?! I remember when this forum required multiple reliable sources before starting a thread! Our standards are in the mud.

Fabian Schär playing up to the Swiss stereotype with his previous job. Only a Rolex made out of Toblerone is more Swiss than working in a bank.
