I think those are being left behind to secure loans away.same as players with more chance of a future with us like Gilchrist.

Both KDH and Carney likely to play in more advanced roles. We need 6 CM's of varied types atleast and with Lavia only playing briefly in 1 game last season and the Enzo situation.then there's Conor who needs to either extend soon or be sold.

Will spend important part of pre-season with us but regardless of how he does he's already not going to be involved with us this year. On one hand he'll go back to somewhere he knows,but with a different coach. Be good if we could use the we'll loan you either a) or b) player and let you know by a certain date.. with CG in his contract year,Enzo being branded grand wizard of the white linen coneheads,there's room for Santos i'd say,atleast in the european piss pot competition.

I only have one Argentinian friend.he's a photographer for live events,sports and concerts etc... i've yet to see him lock the door when he takes a shit..i guess they are just wired differently. I wouldn't suspend him,just send him to our french sister club indefinately.

Been trying to think who would be the best coach to take England over the hump .King Carlo i think would do it if he was available.Klopp might be interested as less hard work than club management and available. Howe is best bet if we sticking English.or maybe they'll look at ex-England players again even tho they kinda failures at club level,didn't stop them hiring Southgate and Big Sam etc...

For this season i'm totally comfortable if we only add a top GK and quality CF. We have so many options for out wide and in the 10 when we use it with also Kendry and Estevao on their way. Signing Nico or Olise would have been upgrades for this season but maybe not in the long run to what is already on our books.

By the time his contract ends he's gonna look like Morgan Freeman...

If we just signing one more 1st teamer for this season tho then i'd still go for one of the top keepers over any others.

Think David will go for more than £20m eventually but ongoing mystery why we and others haven't started bidding yet. Of course every transfer is a risk but we spend that kind of amount on players with so little pro experience and production. My theory is we looking at just 1 more target for the front 3 (atleast for our senior squad this season) and are weighing up options at both LW/LF and CF. I'd personally go for David but who knows what way they gonna go.maybe depends on where Maresca sees Nkunku playing..

Doesnt quite have Conor's spaniel on crack zoomies but more controlled,composure,finishing etc..

Could be that Maresca wants to assess him at the other positions he appears to be able to play. Presumably after assessing if his birth certificate is legit.

Afcon puts me off abit.more specifically the fact teams lose players for a month or more during the season.but should scout globally rather than just 3 south american countries.

If he's 20 ,he's been living in a cardboard box under a bridge sipping cheap wine for the last 5 years.

Wondering why Barca gave him such a low RC fee when they gave others like Oriel such an obscene one. Is there a rule that made them do it?

Not buying it. He might linger as this seasons Bettineli because he too is classed as homegrown but otherwise i don't see him lasting through pre-season. Nothing to be gained from putting out that players have no future,think if we get someone like Marmadashvili,either him or Kepa in the package will be something we'll attempt.

Welcome aboard KDH.nice signing at good value for us. Like this window so far.2 or 3 more first team additions then we should be done with the additions. My favourite 3 now out of ones we have been linked with would be Mamardashvili,Calafiori and David.

Players will be leaving for sure. But still think it's not a case of Colwill and Calafiori having to compete for the same position.so Benoit if stays can compete to be a 1st in line back up with Tosin. Alfie probably be loaned,Trev could easily it seems be shifted and Disasi with bit of luck.Fofana be great if recovers and gets back on track but shouldnt be counted on,having 3 quality CB's with Calafiori able to slide over i wouldnt say is overkill if you are able to accept there will be subtractions to go with the additions. Same with Mamardashvili..when special players are available we can't tell them to wait for us to shift some others first and expect them to still be availablr or worry about inferior players getting gametime.

No worries.i wrapped things up from my point of view.

Slanderous to slag off another countries government and with baseless theories and claim that we were sailing in your one man boat to paranoid island. I'd say it was kind of me to presume you were drunk than just a window licker.

Maybe best to leave the rest of the beer in the fridge..

Indeed.and i don't think these lefties are so one footed like a defensive version of Sturridge,Leao etc...

Loan i'd be ok with but not selling so soon. Seems like we are continuing the theme with this regime of planting seeds then pulling them out before they have fully grown.atleast under Roman they were allowed to sprout on loan somewhere.

If he still has that release clause in place we should pay it and send atleast one of our spanish keepers to them to sweeten the deal. He's been quality long enough now to know he's the real deal.

I said more established compared to Guiu.which he is. I've spent more time on a professional football pitch than Guiu without ever playing professional football..:) Call him Jackson..if i see Nico i think of the German bint singing strangled english.

I think we waiting to sign him,then when it's complete we'll sign another more established forward like David or Beier. I think they want him but probably understand he might not be ready yet for extended minutes he is seeking and if we sign somebody more established before him he might turn us down. It may be that he'll be getting the game time he desires even after another forward addition but they probably aware that it could give him doubts. I personally think in the front 3 when we play it we would look to play only one true winger,the others being a true CF and a wide forward.
