Onana was beaten from the halfway line... Not saying this can't happen to keepers, but crazy that some of y'all wanted him here. Just looks bang average to me and not a clear upgrade at all. We've done better business on the GK front. Anyway - lets hope we get in Caceido and Olise - and that is a successful transfer window. Ideally Lukaku and Ziyech would be gone, but you can't complain with the amount of deadwood we got rid of. Also - those who whinge this season about lack of quality in the team can check themselves now. We've gotten in just about all of the targets people wanted and proper players. Lots of "just pay the price" chat in here, so if it doesn't work out, we can't just blame the board as most of us agreed that these were good players we brought in.

Maatsen locked up is great. Feels like one of those players who can easily slot into first team whenever needed, but also go for long spells starting as well. Highly skilled guy, dynamic and does it all.

Washington looks unreal. Great buy. We'll be a powerhouse in 3 or 4 years with these buys. Everyone here too short sighted. But that is the majority of the world.

Disasi looks like a monster. Absolute monster. From all reports I've seen - people have said he was the better of him and Badi. From the highlights, he looks a real gem.

I agree with this and also disagree. Haaland by that metric shouldn't have been a buy coming out of Bundesliga - but he looked like a sure thing. I don't think Caceido is worth 100 mil. He isn't Kante, nor will he be IMO. I'm a diminishing returns kind of person, so I see someone who we could get for 40 mil and perform at 80% - and think that is better than 100 mil and only getting 20% more. Because you can use that 60 mil to bolster elsewhere. That on top of him not necessarily being a sure fire thing really.

Seeing a few "non reputable" sources reporting 95 mil for Caceido and 25 mil for Sanchez.

How does his groin look? Can you zoom in on the groin. Tell us about it. Lots of focus in this chat on his groin.

I’ll take that 20 million.

A straight swap should be the only acceptable deal. Lukaku has been better than Dusan the last 4 seasons.

Yeah I bet there are 4 or 5 clubs with 100 mil offers in. We should jump quickly…

Our backline is in good hands regardless. Levi, Badi, Disasi - lets wait and see what happens when Fofana is back. We have a good selection of fullbacks as well now. Defence has never been a problem for us. We never leaked a whole lot of goals, and that was with a shocking group playing in front and protecting them as well.

Lukaku agreed? Excellent. Just pay 40 mil for him and have him. We don't want Dusan.

Vlahovic had only 2 good seasons in his career - and they were 2 seasons ago. He has been a 20-30 mil striker over the last 2 years. Just dead set facts. If we pay anything over 15mil on top of Lukaku, we're stupid. But I wouldn't get him to begin with. He really doesn't look all too flash from the eye test - and his advanced statistics say the same. No thank you.

Yeah bugger giving them any cash for Dusan. Send Ziyech and Lukaku in a straight swap. Get more salary off the books. Ziyech would do great over there anyway.

What site is this? Why not just find another player with great metrics, young, that can produce like Jackson?

We're building a strong French contingent. If he came, we'd be the darlings of the EPL and everyone would want to be here in terms of big players. It would change the landscape very favourably for us.

We replaced Mount and Havertz with Nkunku and Jackson, with a +40mil buffer. And they look significantly better. We've gotten rid of a lot of deadwood and massive wages. Gusto has looked great - and solidifies an area we struggled with weakness. Wingers looking better and Maatsen coming on has been great. Found a solid, international level CB for cheap in this market to help with Fofana being down for majority of season. Literally midfield is the only area we are light on where as a lot of problems have been fixed.

Anyone know if Disasi has played CDM before? Lots of talk on Youtube of people thinking he will be a mix of the two given his ball playing abilities and ability to carry forward.

Disasi looks great. Super agile for a big man. And looks to have a great agility. Glides past players with body control. Don’t know why some think he is slow.

This is perfect. We don't want to take a loss on investment for Lukaku. So straight swap would be ideal. Magic.

People were sad we didn't get him instead of Jackson. Jackson looks great. More money =/ better value or player.

Wow, a footballer I'm making more money than. Telling the missus I make pro football money now.

Maybe we get him in 2 years?

Well thats unfortunate.
