Pizy

Tbh, I think it looks better there than it does centrally on the home shirt. But my word, that’s a sexy kit. All 3 this season are hits for me. But this one looks awesome to me.

Ask and you shall receive. Soon as I say there’s nothing new on Jackson, boom, Fabrizio tweets. Villa would be a great move for him. Hard to see them paying the fee necessary for us to sell him, though. Unless there’s truth to Rogers going to Spuds…

Who is going to buy him for the tens of millions that we’d need?

I’m fully prepared/expecting that we’ll work something out which will see Nkunku go but that Jackson will stay in the end. Which means one of Xavi o Garnacho won’t happen.

Another day with zero movement around Nkunku or Jackson.

It’s only Miguel Delaney I’ve seen report it and he gets more wrong than right, but he says Spuds will now turn to Morgan Rogers as the alternative to Eze. Would really suck to see a player I really like going there of all places.

Dortmund would be a crazy good development spot for Anselmino if he actually plays. But at a club like that we risk him sitting on the bench all season not playing if he doesn’t look great straight away

Agreed. For me it would be similar to us buying Xavi Simons and playing him on the LW. Yes, they can play out there but they’re more influential and effective centrally.

Third kit is an absolute stunner, wow.

Curious if Eze is as effective out of that #10 area.

If/when we sign Garnacho & Xavi we’re already going to have a massive headache on our hands next season figuring out what to do with all of our AM’s once Quenda comes and if Paez has a nice season on loan. Hell, even this we’re going to have to loan Tyrique George bevause we have no space for him. So what would we have any use for Enciso next year at this time?

Absolutely nonsensical. What possible path does he have to break into the Chelsea team?

Didn’t he have a poor season where he regressed last campaign? I see to recall hearing that. The fact that the ultimate hardball club Brighton are selling him for this cheap has to raise some questions (unless his contract is running out which I don’t know).

Another attacking midfielder. Just what we’re going to need after we sign Xavi, Garnacho, and have Quenda and possibly Paez coming next summer. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Tbf, Arteta and Arse are in absolute “win now” mode. He needs to win the league this season or his job could be in jeopardy. Or at least it would be if he was at a ruthless club like Chelsea. When all you need is 1 or 2 final pieces to your puzzle and you’re in win now mode you’re ok spending £60m on a 27 year old. Our board are still planning for next season and beyond and probably aren’t thinking title win this season.

I actually think that’s a dumb decision from Eze. Go and be a rotational player who doesn’t start every match for Arse or go and be the star man and fulcrum at the center of it all at Spuds.

The UEFA squad rules are fucking absurd. We’ll have apparently made ~£250m in players sales once this Veiga deal goes through and that won’t do anything for us under these rules. What kind of bullshit is that? We will have balanced the books better than any club in Europe and yet are in a bind and forced to sell before buying because we didn’t balance the books in one specific way that UEFA wants it done. It’s ridiculous.

You’d think all these clubs would’ve got the message by now about loans. Feels like we’ve told everyone numerous times now NO LOANS and yet we keep seeing them ask. As for the mystery club interested in Xavi, I could definitely see it being Liverpool. And the reason they’re not making their interest oublic is because they’re waiting on the Isak situation to resolve itself. Dutch manager, Dutch players in their team. It makes sense that they’d be interested.

Weren’t we asking for £35-40m for Veiga a few weeks ago? Now we’re only going to get around £20m? Feel like if we just sent him in loan again we could’ve got more next summer.

Havertz injured for Arse. Sounds like it could be serious since Ornstein says they’re now in the market for a new forward. Could we suddenly have new potential suitors for Nkunku & Jackson? Would it even be wise to send an actual good player to them if so?

Couldn’t really care less about Fofana, tbh. He may as well not even exist he’s injured so often.

Got excited until Ornstein said “no deal is close yet.”

It’s like we hear a different club is in for one of our want away players every week but then none of them actually go as far as to actually bid. And then when someone actually does bid we hear within 24 hours that the move has stalled because all of these buying clubs are so cheap. I’m going to be pissed off to no end if we actually send £50m on Garnacho before signing Simons and then we get briefed next week that “Chelsea tried hard for Simons but decided he isn’t needed anymore.”

At this point I’m just gonna stop expecting anything at all to happen until the final couple of days of the window. It seems we’re miles apart with Bayern in this Nkunku deal.

They got smacked for 4 goals against newly promoted Sunderland this last weekend. If we don’t win this comfortably then the worry will absolutely start as will questions about Maresca. West Ham will want to make up for that atrocious performance but come on, we cannot get anything less than 3 points against this lot.
