Things do seem to have slowed down with the Simons deal

Very worried with this one, imagine ending up with Garnacho instead of him would be terrible.

Simons slowed down now Isak has become available 👀 

Isak is not worth (for us atm) £130m IMHO

there is one team (amongst the richest big 5 league euro power teams atm) above all the rest who needs him:

Pool

Barca as well IF Lewa finally slows down, BUT they cannot afford him

Manure also could so use him, but they are nowhere near a powerhouse atm

Arse now has Gyökeres

Real will stay with Mbappe as CF

Citeh obviously do not need him

Bayern have Kane

PSG perhaps would go for him, but thier systen doesnt need a pure CF

Atletico have Julian Alvarez

All these tables show me is that there is a lot of deception in football stats. Even goals and assists. 

Some players have far and away amazing stats compared to others - but aren't anywhere near as impactful. Football is so different to something like basketball, where you can see how successful someone is from certain part of the court converting on attempts, etc. Football is too expansive and the low scoring element changes things completely. 

Much harder to zone in on what makes players great.

Kinda like when Bates bought Chelsea for a pound.(plus taking on our debts)

Much of which he didn't pay! Stiffed a lot of people.

No chance of that happening, wages would be too much for us above all else.

Furthermore I think Newcastle and he will come to one of those "one more year" agreements.

[Thor 2,689]

Not too worried about the pace which things are moving. 

Gittens took some time. 

I think we're trying to sort out some outgoings as well.

Since Liverpool has had trouble attracting any serious interest in Nunez, I still believe a move to Saudi Arabia may be on the card unless they can somehow send him to Napoli or wherever.

I like Yildiz but what's happening with Simons.

Wouldn't read too much into this. Juve won’t sell. 
 

The Simons deal is far from being done though. Byern are sniffing around like rabid Alsatian's.

Reports said agreement with Simons was almost done, 2 days later and still nothing on it.

We structure our payments very complex. It will take time to do

Leipzig want 70 million and we still have to sell players to meet the UCL financial quota. 

Ideally Felix + Nkunku would be sold by now

We had to sell £70m worth to hit the UEFA quota no? We've sold around £105m so should be fine
