They don't give a shit about positions they just want to find players so they can flip for profit, who by the way suck even at that, they we're gonna buy Shamu for 35m and actually expected to make a profit on that donkey.

What a shame Clearlake want an ideal scenario for the club. Sell Gallagher, buy no one.

BREAKING: Désiré Doué has decided to join Paris Saint-Germain!

After being 100% focused on Olympics, he has made his decision: it’s PSG.

Nasser Al Khelaifi, Luis Campos, Luis Enrique all involved for PSG.

When Salah was linked with Saudi move I thought for sure Neto would be replacement. And he was linked with them. 

yes, I thought for sure they would grab one of these lefty RWers

Ousmane Dembélé
Michael Olise 
Pedro Neto
Leroy Sané
Dejan Kulusevski 
Moussa Diaby 
Savinho  
Raphinha
Takefusa Kubo
Jarrod Bowen
Arda Güler 
Johan Bakayoko 
Nico González

 

still may try for one of the remaining ones (Kubo in bold is most likely I wager)

The fact that Samu was already being linked to a move to a number of other clubs the minute his move here collapsed tells you that any injury concerns are minor.

Put it this way, I highly doubt Samu will be moving to any of the PL's top 6.   City/Liverpool/United/Spurs/Newcastle are set at striker and I don't think Samu fits with Arteta's game plan at this stage of his development.

No it just means they too haven’t done any medical who is to say they don’t find what we did. Clearly they found something enough to try and change the contract terms.

The only other factor in this....how desperate Napoli are in terms of selling Osimhen to satisfy Conte's requirements.....and the fact that Conte specifically asked for Lukaku as his striker. 

Will be interesting to see what happens in the next week or so.

This reminds me of what we don’t get from either Sterling or Mudryk. It’s actually shocking how dead our LW is.

is he really comfortable to play as LW? because this is the position where i think he will mostly play, if he actually come here

And can we offload both sterling and mudryk in the same window? would be ideal but really unrealistic

Only saving Grace is that we didn’t put him on silly wages like £200k+ a week so he should have plenty of clubs that could take him in if we want to get rid. The talent is still there with Mudryk. He just needs to go somewhere where he’s 100% comfortable and confident and under a coach that gives him full belief. Needs a smaller profile club where there isn’t gigantic pressure on him every time he takes the pitch like here.

Atalanta

They do not have a single true winger now on their roster (Lookman plays SS for them) and Gian Piero Gasperini is a master teacher.

I think Nahuel Molina could be a very interesting signing. He is very offensive and goes up and down all the game. He could replace Reece James while he is injured.

he regressed last season, and AM no longer consider him indispensible

there is this from 4 and a half months ago:

 

I would prefer (assuming we will not go for the very expensive Achraf Hakimi or Jeremie Frimpong):

What do you think about Nahuel Molina? 

I saw that Atletico Madrid wanted a transfer as worth as we were willing to pay for Omorodion. And signing a player whose value last summer was near 70M€ (Atleti rejected an offer from Man City of this value) for 35M£ is very juicy

as I showed before, his all time high valuation was 50m euros, he has regressed and is now dpwn to 28m euros

I think we should be saying if they offer between £30-35m for Lukaku… even with no swap deal on the table, that we will look to accept it on the basis that they accept a £50-60m bid in a separate deal for Oshimen.

that literally makes no sense for Napoli

they are never going to sell Osimhen for only £50 or 60m plus dump out 30-35m quid for Rom

that would mean they only get a net £15m to £30m

the Poison Dwarf will NEVER do that

the swap deal, as I recall, was Rom PLUS £58m (with a loan + obligation to buy tossed in or not, that part is all up in the air ATM)

lets say we value Rom at 32m quid

that means we are paying around £90m net on net for Osimhen

The Poison Dwarf was demanding around £120-130m or so for Osimhen last summer

So at £90m net on net, that is a £30m to £40m discount, PLUS Rom's insane £17m a year wages off our books.

 

That is a fair deal all around, given the circunstances as you ALWAYS take a hit on the valauation of the outgoing player(s) on a swap deal in terms of the lesser valued player(s) 

£90m is €105m

I think the Poison Dwarf (as he looks at things in terms of euros) will take 105m net on net

Osimhen, with 2 years left on his contract is valued at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Lewis#Murder_trial

Following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta on January 31, 2000, a fight broke out between Lewis' entourage and another group of people, resulting in the stabbing deaths of Jacinth Baker and Richard Lollar.

Lewis and two companions, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, were questioned by Atlanta police, and 11 days later the three men were indicted on murder and aggravated assault charges.

The fight occurred about 200 yards (180 m) from the Cobalt Lounge at 265 East Paces Ferry Road in the Buckhead Village neighborhood about two miles north of downtown Atlanta where Lewis had been celebrating.

The white suit Lewis was wearing the night of the killings was never found. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard alleged the blood-stained suit was dumped in a garbage bin outside a fast food restaurant. A knife found at the scene did not have any fingerprints or DNA. Lewis subsequently testified that Oakley and Sweeting had bought knives earlier in the week before the Super Bowl from a Sports Authority where Lewis had been signing autographs. Baker's blood was found inside of Lewis's limousine.

Two weeks into the trial, Lewis's attorneys, Don Samuel and Ed Garland, negotiated a plea agreement with the District Attorney in which the murder charges against Lewis were dismissed in exchange for his testimony against Oakley and Sweeting, and his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.[29] Lewis admitted he gave a misleading statement to police on the morning after the killings (initially telling them that he was not at the scene). Superior Court Judge Alice D. Bonner sentenced Lewis to 12 months' probation.

One year in prison is the maximum sentence for a first-time offender, and the immediate probation was the judge's decision. He was also fined $250,000 by the NFL, which was believed to be the highest fine levied against an NFL player for an infraction not involving substance abuse. Under the terms of the sentence, Lewis could not use drugs or alcohol during the duration of the probation.

Outcome

Oakley and Sweeting maintained that they had acted in self-defense, and after five hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted them of all charges in June 2000. The following year, Lewis was named Super Bowl XXXV MVP. 

On April 29, 2004, Lewis reached an out-of-court settlement with four-year-old India Lollar, born months after the death of her father Richard, pre-empting a scheduled civil proceeding. Lewis also reached an undisclosed settlement with Baker's family.

I badly want to laugh hysterically at Liverpool for missing out on their top target mere days before the season starts but we have our own business that can fall through. 😅😅😅

But goddamn, people bitch and moan about our transfer dealings. Look at Liverpool! Don’t think they’ve signed a single player, have they? Their fans are in total meltdown.

plus they just sold one of their best performing pre season players

Samu at least had massive potential. 

I cannot say either way

I am not doing a deep dive on a botched transfer

what I am dismayed about is our CB situation

that alone can wreck us

plus (as always, since we have only Sterling and Mud) our LWer position is not in great shape

and I am still not at all certain about any of our GKers

It is just madness who much we have spent on GKers since Cuntois left and how shit (other than 1 year wonder Mendy) have been

I have NO idea why the fuck we did not buy Mamardashvili

if anyone had any doubts about him, well his Euros performance (CLEARLT the best keeper there, a fucking monster) put paid to those

also Diogo Costa, at just a wee lower level on my list

if we were hell-bent on some sweeper keeper La Liga type, I do not understand why we went for Filip Jørgensen over Álvaro Valles (I assume it was an age thing, as Valles turned 27 three weeks ago, and Jørgensen only turned 22 four months back)

I hope to fuck Jørgensen pans out as I do NOT rate Sanchez to take us to a top 4 level, especially with our CBs letting him get smashed
