I don't get this sold my car chant about this lad.
Why would you sell your car to a premier league footballer?

He has an unusual a e that doesn't fit into any of the more traditional songs for players.
His surname rhymes with buy any car (depending on hoy you pronounce it) so makes sense.

Or Bernardo for this weekend, I think.

Would probably start with a Rodri, Foden, Kovacic, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland front six even if Paqueta was registered in time - but would be useful to have the option from the bench!

I thought the last update was that he was ‘ill’ and unlikely to be available for the next week (covering Sevilla and Newcastle), but it’s entirely possible I'm wrong on this!

I just read that he was ill and not travelling to Greece, didn’t personally see anything about the Newcastle game

Truth is his wife is expecting their first child and has flown to Portugal for the birth, he will want to support her. Club is probably trying to be very understanding and supportive given he's expecting to extend his contract with us shortly. May miss Newcastle too unfortunately. Depends on the birth!

I got pelters (from the minorities) for saying that I that this was a bit of a panic buy and out of our mould etc… fact is KDB is out for months, and we need creativity.

At his price, age, track record, the fact is he’s a huge gamble…. He’s a risk.

But as always, I trust in Pep.

For anyone who wants to debate it offline, I’m in Athens tomorrow, so give me a shout!

I don't think it is a panic buy, nothing to do with KDB injury, they were in for him before that. Landscapes and situations change, doesn't mean it's a panic. Age, he's only just about to turn 26, every transfer is a gamble as such.

I think more like £75m as they want £90m. I assume we’ll loan Palmer and wave any loan fee owed to us. That’d probably be £10-15m so we are around their valuation of the player.

why would we bring in a midfielder and then loan one out when we need two midfielders in the first place? It puts us in exactly the same position we are in now but down £75m.

Even with him extending his contract, this is one of those things that club does really & goes unnoticed in the media. You only have to look how the club accommodated David Silva when Matteo was born prematurely.
