Special Juan

Kinsella is reporting that we want two attackers this summer. One being Gittens and another versatile attacker to replace Nkunku if he leaves

Chelsea and United have both received encouragement from Martinez's camp

I'm not having a pop here but you can see what the club are doing and they are being very cute about, all the eggs right now are in the Delap basket. 30M for a striker is nothing now a days, they will be praying he can be what we need so it doesn't force them to go into the market again for another forward. We know the way this board and owners think by now, and I really like what I see with Delap already but behind him or alongside him however you want to look at it is Jackson, and with his temperament and the fact he's not very good anyway they look at this big picture as pure money saving. They want to be the ones that tell us they nailed it with Delap, and I hope to god he is and they prove us wrong, but it's their jobs to see the big picture and right now I'd move Jackson on and bring in another striker.

He did , i watched it, he was very good but thing with Doku he could start the next game and look like duck with it's legs tied together. And this is the issue I have with the world class and elite labeling (not directed at you) WC players do it consistently nearly all the time, elite are a bit in and out, have two amazing games and go missing for 5/6, we seen it with Madueke after his Wolves hatrick, he just fell of a cliff

I think we all know we aren't paying 50/60/70M or even 30/40M for a keeper, we wouldn't cough up 3/4M for Maignan, that for me says exactly where we are in terms of getting a keeper and where it stands in our thoughts. Martinez wasn't perfect last season but his far from perfect is much better than Sanchez in my opinion. The age thing for a keeper doesn't come into it for me, these owners though want a certain age profile, but we need more experienced heads in this team and an experienced good keeper would get a massive thumbs up from me

I like to use the term elite level winger as opposed to WC, he's far from that for me....he's a brilliant player but still rough around the edges. But he is miles away from what we have here in Madueke, Doku is much better, much more direct and drives at people backing them up into the box which is what they don't like. Neto isn't bad but he like Noni likes to slow things down too often and come back, both have explosive pace but don't use it enough for me. I want to see my wingers first thought is to drive at full backs, ask the first question of the game by pulling their pants down and doing them with ease and leave them in a head spin for the rest of the game. I'm also not sure if Gittens is anything that I have touched on or better than Madueke or Neto

Mentioned Martinez yesterday, really like him

Romano now confirming Waltomade is close to bayern

Ederson is coming to the end of his time now

We see this a lot now and it's becoming more of a theme where we seem to drag transfer negotiations out for weeks and weeks and before we know the window is about to shut and the new player/s have no time to bed in and it's just frankly bad planning How any team can go to the last minutes of the window for transfers and get deals done is beyond me, it should never ever get to that unless a major injury to a key player has just happened or something out of anyone's control. To scramble around last minute is nothing but bad ownership and leadership for me

Apparently that Waltomede 7ft Peter Crouch fella has agreed to go to Bayern

The cash cows SD's will be all over this

And as of right now an injury to Enzo is more of a worry than Palmer being injured. And as for Eze...we wouldn't pay the extra 3/4M for Maignan so what world I am living in to think we we pay an extra 13M for Eze I don't know

Eze has a 68M clause, yet we are about to buy Gittens for 55M, Eze has now been added to Arsenal's list of targets... You couldn't make this up, you really couldn't

Bayern aren't fucking stupid, this is a heavy fee for exactly what we are saying about him as a player We are getting fleeced here

Pair of fucking wankers them two that's why....they are trying to sit round a table and get market prices, waste all that fucking time like it has been with Gittens and to then go back to the table and we are now going to pay the full price. They are fucking clueless

Another point on the goalkeeper situation, is we were prepared to go for Maignan but decided an extra 3/4M was too much. Now, these links to Ter Stegen whether solid or not, why are we not spending big money on a keeper? Personally I would be going to Villa an asking about Martinez

These SD's do nothing fast, once this gets done they will need a few weeks to deliberate the next target, chew over a starting figure, watch endless videos of them.......then the window closes

Florian Plettenberg is reporting the deal for Gittens is getting closer

Chilwell is a big wage earner sat on the books, he needs to be sold ASAP

Ah right the old 'transfer illness' I get it now, a lot suffer from that

No Gittens in the squad tonight for Dortmund

There was no better place to give Santos a start especially when he was preaching about rotation and the heat. This what pisses me off with Maresca, he contradicts himself all the time and does not help himself.

Arsenal pursuing a deal to sign Norgaard from Brentford

Kepa to Arsenal is done, what a huge loss money wise that is
