He's younger than Van Dijk! Or basically the same age anyways. And I definitely don't think he'd struggle in the PL. He has it all. Physical monster who is great in the air and in tackles, has great pace and mobility, and is super underrated as a passer. He is the prototype modern CB. I think if anyone gets him they will improve massively. It's not going to be us obviously because we won't lay that for a 29 year old, but I think he's a sure fire stud if he comes to England.

Hearing a lot of rumors about Koulibaly again like every recent transfer window. Being linked with several of our PL rivals. Really wish he was a target of ours. He would really take us up a huge level defensively. Really hope he doesn't move to a rival. Imagine a Maguire + Koulibaly or Laporte + Koulibaly partnership. Both would be ridiculous I think. Think he has also been linked with Liverpool. VVD + Koulibaly? Yikes.

I smell a spanking. I'm going 4-1 to us.

Isn't Foster like 45?

I just want to see a keeper who can dominate anything that gets close to him in the air and is calm with his feet. Doesn't have to be Ederson or Allison level with his distribution but someone who as at least decent. Would be a bonus to get a commanding, extremely vocal general back there who organizes everything.

Hot days?

Have a good feeling about this week for Kai. Get it settled and announced ASAP.

Caballero did indeed seem to have a calming effect on the defense. His distribution was calm and easy as well. Since it seem so crtually nailed on that we will have a new #1 next season, it's nice to know that our defense IS capable of looking class once in a while.

Imagine how comfortably we'd have been if our defense played like that all season....

Traore is a huge threat.... Any turnover is a massive danger.

Ah shit, the Incredible Hulk is on. Fuck.

Long way to go, ladies and gents. LOOOOOONG way to go. Don't celebrate yet with our defense and with Traore + Moutinho to come on. I hope we keep playing and don't go into a shell. If we invite them onto us by playing park the bus football we WILL be punished.

MONSTER GIROUDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!

All our attacking players have been shocking. Can't complete any fucking passes. Just playing stupid, blind balls to nobody. They look nervous as hell.

Pulisic currently doing his best Bakayoko impression. Giving the ball away every time he has it with terrible touches and passes with way too much pace on them. We don't look threatening at all so far.

Wolves smartly just trying to abuse our left side with Alonso and Ruidiger. They look way more comfortable both on and off the ball than we do. Which is sad as hell.

Haven't been this anxious since before the EL final last season!

Oof, I think Willian and Kante are both big misses for a match like this where you want your experienced, big game players in. I expected to have them both in the XI when I expressed confidence yesterday. Very nervous now! DON'T FUCKING CHOKE!

Speaking of Theo Hernandez, from what I've read about him he appears to be awesome going forward but utterly hopeless defensively. Which is pretty much the last thing we need, no?

Would be pretty bad if his first sight of us in person is watching us choke away CL footy! 😂😂😂

I get the feeling that Wolves won't set up in their usual counter attacking way here. They have nothing to lose and can play with freedom. I expect to see them press us relentlessly from minute 1 knowing they can exploit our defense and CM. with the mammoth pressure on our players Wolves may feel like if they really get at us we may crumble. And honestly, they may be right. Thats why WE have to be the ones asserting ourselves on them. We need our boys to treat this like a CL final and play like monsters.

If it would make the negotiations smoother just let him play in the damn Europa League. Although of course the manager is going to say that. Would be unwise of our club to sign a player for £80m and have him risk serious injury before kicking a ball for us, though, so maybe we wouldn't agree to it. Would be the biggest baller move ever if we qualify tomorrow for the CL and then almost immedietly announce this deal.

Yeah, I watched that video yesterday. He really is a generational talent. If he continues to get better he will be one of the best midfielders in the world. Scores goals, great passer, awesome instincts around the box, great at finding space, he's tall and strong making him very difficult to disposess. He even has very good pace for someone his size. Would be our most impressive signing since Hazard if we pull it off. A player that could play in any team in Europe and we lead the queue. Hopefully no bumps in the road with some other club suddenly entering the bidding.

Nothing has changed over the last few days. Personal terms agreed, looking promising, no deal between clubs. Just a bunch of Twitter randos trying to get followers and attention by trying to be the first to announce its done.

The quick turnaround is actually pretty cool. Clubs will be quicker to get their business done, fans won't have to wait months like a normal summer to see their new toys on the pitch, and players won't take as long to get up to form/fitness since they won't have a super long holiday. A club like ours who is getting business done early should be at an advantage.
