King Kante

Alverez is the only CF we've been linked to that fits that profile of link up play and playing between the lines. Not sure why Duran is being mentioned. Feel this years transfers are more about playing FFP games to work the system.

Well if that is true then that should rule Duran out. OK, he isn't a six yard striker but he isn't dropping deep and linking the play.

Anything that ensures Disaster leaves gets my seal of approval.

I agree. We shouldn't be going near the Brentford Bettor. For me, my list of CF's would be as follows: Anyone, money no object: Häland Cheap/experienced PL proven option: Wilson Be great to get if we can agree a reasonable fee: Alverez Would reasonably overpay for: Isak Pay the buyout fee/reasonable fee (if it exists) Sesko Would avoid at all costs: Toney - don't trust his judgement and think he is better as a big fish in a small pond. Osimhen - reckon he will flop where he goes next. Gyokeres - needs to put another season together. Could be a one season wonder.

It probably will be Duran. Can see some sort of swap with Conor to help both teams out with FFP and because I think Conor will also refuse Spuds.

This could be the case, but isn't he toed down to 7 years or something? For me, I wouldn't put it past Clownlake wanting the HG FFP profit.

My mate is a Fulham fan and watches every game. On Tosin he told me that 'There are times when he is on the ball you think he may be Beckenbauer, but he has too many Titus Bramble moments in losing people to simple runs to ever be an elite player'. That to me sounds like a ball playing Disaster type player - not sure I want another CB who cannot track simple runs.

If we sell Trev for £25m then the transfer strategy people need sacking after blowing £80m on Fofana and £40m on Disaster.

I prefer Diet Pep.

With these types of deals, the delay is probably due to family related payments.

Excellent post. I this also applies to Trev who was our best CB last year. Both of those players need to stay, rather than sell them to buy some injury prone player or some brain dead player like Disaster. For sure, if we are getting Bellingham and Silva to come in and replace then sure, but we obviously aren't. As for the overall positions, my areas of priority are: CB GK CB CF AM For me, Disaster and Fofana cannot be relied upon, Disaster because he is a complete and utter liability on the pitch and Fofana because of injuries. If Trev gets sold, then we can only really bank on Colwill and Badi but both of those players are green and had injuries as well. At GK, I think something needs to be done Sanchez isn't good enough and Petro is good GK2 level. In addition to this, it looks like we are going for possession football, which means both Sanchez and Petro will give away disastrous goals if forced to play in that style. After that, I think we need a CF and a RWF/AM. At RWF/AM I would go for Eze. Olise is the sexier player at Palace but he looks better in counter attacking situations so he can use his direct running, power and pace. Eze on the other hand has the better feet in tight spaces and workratte, for me Eze is the one that slides into the team easier and complements Palmer better. At CF I do not have much of a clue, for me we could ideally do with a Giroud type player from 4-5 years ago to help out Jackson.

The club won't care. Maatsen will be gone due to FFP capital he creates. If they decide to get a new LB the only question then would be Chilwell v Cucu. This is the same with Gallagher and Trev, and those two are two of our better players.

I think we will either get the £35m or close to it. If BVB don't pay it there will be a couple of PL clubs who would be happy to take him on considering his HG status and relatively low wages.

RDZ isn't a lickspittal so he has probably been dropped for that.

This kind of thing is missed by the Poch fans when the season overall is taken into consideration. For sure we got better when everyone came back, but our lack of game management throughout the season was the single biggest reason we did not sleepwalk into 4th.

Can see us having no Europe next season now. Not sure we're going to jump through the FFP hoops required for Conference League.

Knowing Clownlake it is probably Austin Powers.

There is absolutely no chance Sterling goes to Palace.

Well we should've had two against the Dippers, one against City in the Semi and I think there are more. It is all well and good saying we had a lot, but it is because we've been fouled so much. However, I agree it is largely to do with incompetence. I thought it was 3, have they changed the rules on this? 5 is crazy.

Not for sure, but yes if Utd don't win the cup, which is unlikely.

Trevor has been our best CB this season. Selling him is lunacy. I don't, full Summer of rest is what he needs. Don't need that moron Southgate running him into the ground because he wants to play ultra defensive football. Disaster as I call him needs to be sold ASAP. Since he has been out of the team we've barely conceded. Absolutely woeful player.

Well if we don't get the draw then we deserve Conference.

Yep, you're both right. I got that wrong.

If I see Disaster in the starting line-up tonight, then Poch needs to go in the Summer imo.

Newcastle play tomorrow.
