Garnacho is a perfect Maresca player so for squad filler pretty ideal pick tbh Much happier with him than Gittens tbh, he’s imo a better player, at something more resembling a price for players at that level.

Swear every time there is a long running transfer rumour because the club don't really think its that important and just leave and wait til end of summer to see if a good deal can be done, everyone freaks the fuck out, I cannot understand it whatsoever. If we really wanted any of these guys, we'd just get them and they would have probably even been with us for CWC - if they were actually important to the club. The only person we got cucked for this summer was Huijsen that chose Real over us, and we really wanted him and went fully in hoping to woo him. The rest is just filler that we don't care about almost at all, or it would have been done ages ago. People we think are worth it at the right price, but nothing special.

"Working on a deal all summer" = leaving him on read because we don't care that much The club did the signings they prioritised and wanted hard right away. The rest is filler. The club literally don't care that much so why should we if he ends up not joining? Not the clubs fault if the twitter ITKs rambled about it all summer to have something to say.

Hard to care about Simons, Garnacho, Fermin or whoever else when the two biggest problems in the squad are GK and CB, two positions with no rumours and the club don't give a fuck about, despite being the two things that would be transformational and genuinely elevate us if we sorted them out, instead we're losing our minds looking for squad depth in positions we already have/had reasonable options. Doesn't matter if we lose our on Simons and Spurs pay a fuck load for him. Its just squad filler we're stressing about here. That's why the club have not moved fast on any of it. They got the signings they thought were important done early.

Honestly find the transfer window so tiresome these days, can't wait for the window to be over. Really wish they'd do transfer deadline day before PL starts.

Imagine having LW your top priority after spending a fortune on Gittens I can understand we might need cover for him but if we're genuinely disturbed that we don't have a good enough starting LW option then we have made a fatal error and someone needs the sack

Hahaha word for word what I came to post

So much for the 8s rule on GKs

Gusto must be brain dead man

2nd place behind Enzo

Tbf this very cautious approach is how we turned it around at the end of last season. Tightened up at the back and became boring to watch. It was tedious but got us there...

It basically is preseason for us Don't look ready at all, everyone is still on holiday

Enzo having perhaps the worst half of his career to date Can't do anything at all Basic passes, carries, first touches, nothing.

It will be worth signing Garnacho just to stop hearing about how we're going to sign Garnacho

I just love that we actually have two PL quality strikers in the squad Can't even remember the last time...

Eh, not impressed by Gittens. No wonder we're desperately looking at Xavi Simons plus Garnacho. It wont take much with this fanbase for things to get toxic if the beginning of the season goes badly after not sorting out CB+GK.

Not looking ready for the beginning of the season at all but no real surprise given the preseason we've had...

Estevao in previous game impressed me a lot more than Gittens in this game so far. Where's the end product? Looks like a nervous kid getting a chance to play with the grownups at the mo.

Just go and get Murillo for CB. Give them Renato or whoever they want in the other direction. Even before Colwill got injured I wanted it. Now it is a no brainer to go and get someone elite and spend whatever it is gonna cost.

Not as easy as that, he wont let his wages go without us paying in full, he made that clear last year. Loaning him with a fee and part coverage of his wages is the best case scenario unless Saudi want him.

I keep telling myself this can only be happening as part of some kind of swap deal that's mutually favourable Maybe they take Nkunku or pay top dolla for NJ idk but surely we're not just buying him with straight up cash like plebs

Pretty explicit that he's on his way. Honesty I'm a cynical fucker about players coming from Bundesliga so I'll just sit tight and watch how Gittens and Simons do in PL, hoping for the best but intuitively I would expect they'll prove to be helpful squad players but nothing more. Edit: snap, The Hulk posted the same quote at the same time :)

Price definitely being kept secret for a reason... There's no way we got these £20m/£25m fees that are circulating Best case £10m-15m base, maybe it goes up to £20m+ if he wins 8 back to back Ballon d'Ors.

Everyone always says we're fools for negotiating and having a stance on how much we'll pay Everyone always says we're fools for not negotiating and getting pushed around on price Club can't win

After all of this still no CB and no GK Going to be another season of us being almost good if we don't get it sorted
