If so we’ll look like absolute fools for negotiating for 2 weeks+ and coming up empty handed over a few million £. 

Everyone always says we're fools for negotiating and having a stance on how much we'll pay

Everyone always says we're fools for not negotiating and getting pushed around on price

Club can't win

So if everything goes according to rumors (not caring about bomb squad), some positions are fluid:

CF: J Pedro, Delap

LW: Gittens, Garnacho

AM: Palmer, Simons,

RW: Neto, Estevao

MF: Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos, Essugo

LB: Cucurella, Hato,

CB: Colwill, Badiashille, Tosin, Chalobah, Fofana,

RB: R James, Gusto, Acheampong

GK: Sanchez, Jorgensen, Slonina

 

Out: Nkunku, Jackson, KDH

Loan: George, Anselmino

 

Not counting GK it gives us 23 players for 10 positions. Considering Fofana, Lavia and R. James health it's pretty good depth.

However even with a lot of games I think some of the forwards will be unhappy with playing time - how to properly split game time between Gittens, Garnacho, Simons, Palmer, Neto and Estevao, also considering that Enzo and Santos can play AM?

Garnacho has set his heart on Chelsea if [a move is] possible.

I get the feeling Jackson is staying. Newcastle is really the final possibility when they miss out on Sesko, I guess. No clubs outside of the PL are going to come near our asking price for him.

It remains to be seen if the squad can live up to it but I'm hoping that we can play a rotated team in some PL and some CL fixtures. When I say 'play' I mean while retaining a reasonable expectation of getting results. That is what the spending has been for after all. If we our squad turns out to be good enough to allow this, then there will be lots of games for a lot of players, and not just nonsense, nothing, games either.

Stop with this nonsense of waiting for outgoings and get him already.

On the multi-club model:

The Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership are understood to prefer a small but mutually beneficial connection - similar to the one between RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg - rather than a bigger model like the 12-club City Football Group, led by Man City.

I’ve seen Liverpool & Newcastle fans here and there talking about Nuñez potentially going the other way if Isak is sold. They get Nuñez + Wissa and I think that slams the door shut on Jackson leaving this window unless some surprise club out of nowhere suddenly find themselves needing a striker.
