There are some interesting contract situations

Looks like Trent is off to Madrid at the end of the season. 

Dani Olmo maybe available now due to Barca financial issues. I'd replace Felix with him 

I like Olmo a lot. Super skillful and would help us control matches a lot better than we do today (not very well I might add).

He would have a choice of many clubs (rumors are that both Arsenal and City want him), there's like a 0.00001% chance of him moving to Chelsea. 

Felix is the definition of "wasted talent", maybe Mendes can help us out and offer him to Wolves?   They seem to do better with Portuguese/Brazilian players.

Wages were the stumbling block first time around. Why on earth wouldn't it be 4 months later? Ship is sailed. Stinks of a poor attitude too. 

Gyokeres or Delap for me. 

Yeah - I'd be all over Delap. 

Similar profile to Gyokeres but younger. 

[Vesper 29,046]

would take him on a 6 month loan for sure

we could dump Disasi

@Vesper  what's your prediction for Gyokeres next move?    Premier League or somewhere else as he's too good to be playing in Portuguese league.

Manure perhaps

if not there

Pool or Arse

 

TBH, he screams classic Bayern CF, but they have Kane

 

Barca would love him (as Lewa cannot go on forever) but I doubt they can afford him, barring some massive sales

Yes, yes, yes. Loan wouldn't be a bad option at all.

Tbh, the only way I can see us bringing in anyone this month is if this terrible run of form we’re in continues this weekend and we panic buy someone. I just can’t see any big target of ours like Delap being available when Ipswich need him to have a chance of staying up. 

I can see a few fringe players leaving but in terms of incoming I’m not expecting anyone. Which may be for the best if we would just buy someone just to have an extra body. I’d rather buy nobody than another Disasi or Badiashile.

If we look hopeless in the final third for the next couple of matches I wonder if the ownership will break the Osimhen glass and pay his release clause, though… 🤔

I would think lack of quality in defense is more of a concern than our attack being a bit off-form. 

If Maresca continues to play Disasi in that RB/CB type role, we will continue to drop points.   No point having young talent like Josh on the bench if he's not going to play, let him get some minutes on loan and develop for next season.

Reece and Fofana need to go and get a quality top shelf CB and RB. 

 

Its getting ridiculous at this point. Thanks for everything, but this isn't a hospital - and we need active players.

I will bat for Reece to stay despite the injuries. It is blind hope at this point but come on, he's one of the best academy boys we had. At 21, he was bossing a Champions League final

Club captain-not playing.....Wages- one of the big earners......we cannot keep using the emotional 'academy' 'one of our own' as a comfort cushion, he's a massive crock costing us millions because he has the muscles of a 90 year old.

If Reece James and Fofana stayed for another two years you wouldn't get 20 games each out of them

[Strike 7,260]

Anselmino comes back to give cover instead of Disasi. But we should replace Fofana right away. Loan in Skriniar or sign another defender - Murillo

There are reports linking us to Guehi and Tomori again but I'd only do these deals on the cheap

Reduce wages and sign him to a reasonable contract if he's injured again.

Sentimental gestures that don't need to be handed out as things won't change. Reece won't last the rest of the season from this point, something else or another recurring injury will happen again, it's far too common.

Another great defensive transfer from the mighty board that's going great.
