We should get Ousmane Dembele on a bargain Im sure Barca are looking to offload. He could thrive with Pulisic. They already have a great partnership from his BVB days.

You do realize he's become injury prone, right? This is his injury record since the start of 2017/18 season...

We couldn't, if a player signed for us during the ban they'd have been stuck solely training for five months ala Turan. To loan a player out they have to be registered to play.

Correct of course but nothing to prevent us simply making a binding agreeing to sign a player after what would have been the end of the transfer ban. Technically different to a buy and loan back, but effectively the same.

That transfer ban was the biggest blessing in a disguise we had in our history period.

A dream came true when we were relying on our Baby Blues. 

And we've found back our identity.
