BREAKING: Renato Veiga to Juventus HERE WE GO. £4m loan fee. No buy option. (@FabrizioRomano)

£4m with no buy option is robbery. If he has a good half season, that helps us to then bring him back as he has more experience - or we can sell for good profit. That is smart business, even if I think we should've just used him at CB in the cups ourselves as there was no need to give Disaster mins even in the Conference. 

Hopefully, we will see Chilwell get integrated a bit more. No need to have frozen him out like he has been frozen out from a quality point of view.

Marmoush has effectively been that for Frankfurt and is going to be announced as a City player any minute now. Money talks!

It is the wages. He will likely be on £175k+++. We aren't giving contracts like that out. Even Felix and Sancho had to go down to £100k or so.

Chelsea are the latest club to ask about a loan for Douglas Luiz but Juventus want a substantial fee. A move is apparently considered unlikely at this stage, with the Blues unwilling to tie themselves to a fee or commit to an obligation to buy.

Thinking about Garnacho. What would people think of Garnacho + £15-£20m for Nkunku?

Loans with obligations are always pretty high risk, unless the obligation is a good one as if they flop then you still have to buy you look like idiots. A loan with option I think we should do even if it is slightly expensive. Luiz knows the league a is a good to very good DM/CM. We are in desperate need of such a player and a player with experience. He kind of ticks all the boxes on paper.

I'd like to think those to muppet SD's have spoken to Juve when letting Veiga go about Luiz coming the other way but that maybe too much to ask and too sensible for them clowns.

Also, the plus side if Luiz comes, we get to see Aleisha Leihmann's backside at the bridge

Why would Amorim want Nkunku?     Seems like they are all in for Viktor in the summer.

Isn't he needing to completely sell all their AM's because he prefers 'system' type AM's with a forward that is a focal point to finish most of the chances off? Nkunku would be a better fit imo.

Chelsea are pushing for 20-year old defensive midfielder Reda Belahyane from Hellas Verona to replace Cesare Casadei, for a fee of €15million. (via @DiMarzio)

Never heard of him, standard Chelsea stuff.

Both have been bad difference is one isn't an arrogant cunt, screaming and celebrating and after giving that cringeworthly interview acting like he scored a belter and had a blinder of a game when in reality he was one of the worst players on the pitch and stole someone else goal.

Felix comes in for 15-20 minutes and after the match you immediately have people saying I knew he sucks and is useless, meanwhile Noni does fuck all nobody mentions a thing because apparently he is a workhorse and helps the defense, reminds me of the delusional comments years ago when people were defending that piece of shit Mount for being garbage by saying he is working his socks off.

Can't wait for the summer so we can ship this guy to Newcastle, although to be fair I'd rather keep him than wasting the money on Garnacho.

Calling him a cunt based on a celebration. Wow. Yes he can come across a bit arrogant and can be frustrating, however do I see improvements to his game since he joined us? Yes. He has 6 goals and 3 assists in the league. Needs to be more productive in final third, but he definitely is a useful outlet to have. 

His direct dribbling and running is a bonus and causes opposition panic. People may argue Neto’s best position is from the right, however he also needs to improve in final third. Madueke for all his faults has scored some good goals this season.

Felix, yes I agree is treated harshly based on his limited minutes but his position is not affected by Madueke. I would like to see him more but it feels for me your agenda against Madueke is a bit personal.

Marmoush as our CF buy in January would have made me a happy girl

I'm still wondering how no other side challenged City for his signature.

He was on around £32k at Frankfurt. If we were serious, that wouldn't have been a stumbling block. City offering him a crazy wage increase of almost 9 times that is its own thing.

[TheHulk 1,937]

Rather keep what we have this window instead of buying more unnecessary players, maybe they wisen up by the summer but I doubt.

Separate budgets 🤪

[Pizy 18,516]

Okay, tbf I’ve just watched a YouTube comp of this midfielder we’re linked with and he does look like a proper, highly technical baller. Pretty impressed with what I’m seeing on the ball. 

However, he looks like he’s about 4ft tall. Know who he reminds me of almost exactly in terms of dribbling and ball carrying? Bernardo Silva.
