Why not to put a bid to lemar ??

Because we don't need a player like him. We have Willian, Pedro, Hazard, Musonda. Lemar wouldn't get in ahead of Willian or Pedro on that right wing.

Lemar is a wonderful player, hopefuly he stays in Monaco.

If it wasnt for this stupid english player policy, I would have Lemar here over Ox any time. Im sure Lemar would be more than capable of playing LW, RW, RwB, LwB, or AM.

It's not a stupid policy, we're an English club and therefore should have a foundation built on English players.

Matt Law sucks. He is full of bullshit.

This window weakened the attack and the middle and strengthened the defense.

I should explain further; 

I would love to have more english players, but not at the cost of quality. 

And certainly not at this price. 

IF we are to believe the rumours, we are about to pay around 35-40m on Drinkwater, who is average decent player, but from moon it can be seen he wont be our starter, but only a bench option. Then we are interested in 30-40m Barkley who had absolutely average season and didnt develop at all. Again, maybe a good squad option, thats all. 

The only one that makes sense (at least at this point) is Ox who will provide depth and competition, nevermind is versatile. He is also english which is not bad.

The point is only Ox will be bought for more reasons than just being english. 

We can find miles better bench options who are also cheaper than Barkley and Drinkwater.

And in the end, we seem to spend over 100m on these three players and there is great chance all of them will only be bench players on long run, and on top (again apart from Ox) they will provide very little from bench except for depth. 

Playing against top sides, and we will think, hey we have Drinkwater and Barkley on bench, yeah that will elevate our play surely. 

Then whats even more idiotic is selling decent players from our youth squad who also happens to be english. They are no worse than Drinkwater or Barkley at this moment, but obviously they all want to leave because we will forever threat them as nothing but kids who are not ready yet. 

And bottom line, if we are so desperate to overpay for english players, why didnt we do it earlier when there were at least decent options available? Sterling, Clyne to name a few.

Okay, can we stop posting tweets from nobodies?

[Pizy 18,858]

Don't the club usually announce that an agreement has been reached and that personal terms and medical will happen afterwards? I seem to recall we did so with our summer signings so far, right?

In that case it's a bit strange that all of those journalists tweeted that an agreement between the clubs was reached but we've seen nothing since. Makes me feel like we haven't fully convinced Ox himself yet.
