Pizy

Anselmino going to Dortmund and hopefully playing every week is the best possible place for him. If that happens we could have a player who’d cost us £65m or something silly if we didn’t already own him.

The TOTAL lack of even a whisper about Sterling, Chilly, Disasi etc being close to moves is worrying. wtf even happens to them if they’re still here? Turkish league only? Or Saudi?

With Nico returning I guess our last hope for one big move is to get a larger than expected fee for Tyrique George? He’s the final List A player who’s like.y to leave, right? So most likely no more incomings.

Pretty outstanding weekend for us. We win, Spuds, City, and Forest lost. Now hopefully a draw in the Arse/Liverpool match with a bunch of injuries to both sides 🤣

Bayern going for Lookman now. Jackson 100% on his way back then. Good. Now go and get Fermín.

I bet you anything that if Guiu comes back he still won’t be 2nd choice stiker. Maresca will play Pedro Neto up front against PL opponents before he starts Guiu.

Please don’t tell me the last of our business will be Guiu returning to never play and Buononotte coming in to never play…

Agreed. Rather buy a quality attacking mid in the #10 area than buy a panic striker. We’re going to regret not pulling the trigger on Xavi Simons. We can rectify the situation a bit with someone else now.

Talk of bringing back Guiu now. That would be extremely silly imo. Maresca clearly didn’t feel he’s ready for Chelsea and he’d be in the exact same situation here as he was last season. He would rarely see the pitch. He needs to stay at Sunderland and play. If Jackson doesn’t return and we need a striker it NEEDS to be someone who can start matches if necessary whether that’s together with João Pedro or by themselves. Guiu is not the latter.

I wonder what the deal is with us apparently bidding for Fermín last night. Are we still waiting for his decision or have we already moved on?

Just stupid. As harsh as it is on Jackson I’d rather bring him back than spend money on some random striker who we had zero interest in 24 hours ago. A striker who we will then probably struggle to get rid of in a years time.

It sounds like the Delap injury has legit sent the club into a panic ffs. I’d rather sign an awesome #10 like Fermín than some random striker who will be benched and given the Jackson treatment once Delap is back fully fit. Unless Delap’s injury is much worse than initially feared and he’s going to be out most of the season then buying another striker feels very shortsighted.

Paqueta would be an excellent addition for Villa if they pull it off. I’d happily take him here if he was 3-4 years younger. West Ham feel like they’re already in real trouble through 2 games and if they lose him after losing Kudus then yikes. They’d have to be a genuine relegation candidate. Jarrod Bowen must be desperate to get out of there at his age.

So as of tonight it looks like Jackson returns and we get that kid from Brighton. That’s our window done in terms of incomings. I guess our final 40-ish hours of the window will be all about whether we can shift George and all the outcasts.

Gittens looks MILES off being ready to be a nailed on starter so far so I’m think Garnacho is going to be a bigger player than most of us assumed. Garnacho already being PL hardened should give him a leg up. I just have zero expectations. Hope for the best but expect nothing much just like with Gittens

Or it’s a face saving bid by us to show the angry supporters that they tried something after the Xavi debacle.

A €40m offer for a player they apparently rate at like twice that is some clown shit. He’s got like 4 years left on his new deal and isn’t someone Barca have actively tried to sell.

At this point just let him go there. It’s bad for us but stopping him going there and burning bridges with the player and other clubs could be worse. It would make all future loan deals difficult. Other clubs have to know our word means something.

Whatever happens I’m just glad the window is closed in a couple days. This drama is too much even for me as someone who loves the transfer window.

It’s definitely the kind of move that will make any club hesitant to do business with us going forward. But unless the contract is signed and sealed then we have to look after the club first and foremost.

Yeah, surely we wouldn’t bid first if the player hasn’t given us his word that he wants out. If this is just a punt of a bid to then see if he would say yes then we’re idiots.

All up to Fermín according to Fabrizio. We’ll only get him if he tells Barca he wants to go. They won’t tell him to go.

The video of Jackson arriving in Munich LMFAOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

€40m is a silly bid, surely? Unless Barca are in completely dire straits that’s the kind of bid Arsene Wenger would be proud of.

Holy shit! Jackson and Bayern must be livid. Bayern will probably never do business with us again if the chance ever comes up. That surely ends any move for another attacker then.
