DH1988

My lord, what a goal.

To clarify, Ilkay was under par for year's as in he went there in 2016 with big things expected and took years to come good. My statement wasn't clear at all, apologies!

Ilkay was under par for years really, expecting Kova to do good things at City. Arsenal have been meh, same pattern of play over and over with White coming inside. Expected better of Arsenal’s midfield, Rice has been invisible.

Random Italian twitter accounts posting Vlahovic has agreed terms with us. Sigh.

The only signing I care about as a baseline is Caicedo, Enzo will fall off dramatically and throw his toys out if we do not sign quality to be next to him. It sorts our midfield for 4-5 years alongside up and comers.

Neil Bath and co should be immensely proud of their work, now getting the recognition and the club is being run, seemingly, in a better business mindset ie. No, all youngsters may not have a place here long term including our recent splurge on various young talent but if we sell for £8-10-20-30m in the future then it's good for the books.

I completely believe the deal is done after the Sanchez fee was £25m

Caicedo not in the Brighton squad today for their friendly.

Feel like Romano is trying far too hard these days just to report anything that could be relevant or stating the obvious to stay considered as ITK.

Sigh, this will come back to bite, Mason isn't a bad player, he will do well at United, he = individually, United lack cohesion at present but Mason will always be a good player when focused.

Remain convinced that the fee is to supplement the Moises deal, £20+5m surely.

Hall definitely benefits from week in week out games, happy he is under Roy as well, good manager for development.

Think you've gone a little deep there with my one team league comment. If you're a top level English striker, where are you going today? All clubs have equal transfer fee, same salary. Bayern or Man Utd or Chelsea? Bayern are third on my list.

No club does because we all know its a non starter. I'd snap your hand off for Kane in our team at £80-85m still.

Be shocked if Kane goes there, I would honestly rather stay in the EPL chasing the goal record than go to Germany for a one team league and a 10% chance at the CL. Shameful that Spurs are so hard nosed that they'd force him abroad than accept a ridiculous fee from an EPL club, sure they are within their right to, still, Levi vibes.

Toney in January* I hope.

If we dont get Moises that's our season gone, with him, I genuinely see top 4 being a walk with no Europe.

Deal agreed for Sanchez, a backup keeper at £25m, hopefully that's the extra £10 that Brighton wanted.

Impressed me immensely during preseason. Really looking forward to seeing him in the side. I would genuinely like to see Reece in midfield at some stage, his Wigan days were not a one off, weirdly I feel sometimes he is wasted at RB, when fit..

Gallagher has definitely improved from where he was but he is playing out of position, simple as that. Going into the season with him and Enzo would be a wreck. Enzo really hasn't impressed me so far either beyond a few nice dinks.

For the life of me I cannot understand looking at a striker that has muscular problems in a league that is nowhere near as intense as the EPL.. How does he even pass a detailed medical?

Gvardiol for £78m, steal.

Haven't seen a ton of Disasi at all, he really does look slow as anything though which gives me Koud vibes. Goal threat and passing look very good, we've lacked the goal threat aspect since losing the Brana’s, Cahill and Terry etc in my opinion, though yes, first and foremost stop goals, however it's good for the CBs to chip in now and again.

Because his agent gets a fee, then gets a further fee from the inflated price that Brighton now get to charge. Moises himself sees it as a win win if he's got his agent, De Zerbi and Bloom all saying we will let you go.

What a waste of money flying there, he knows he put his client in a bad position, taking a fee at the time, to now seeing another potential cheque, yawn.
