It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

if club is going for barella or wirtz they better be ready to pay for them

We have demonstrated our willingness to pay top $ when we have to. Equally, as as reinforced by Pep, we will only pay what we think is fair. Fwiw I agree though, if indeed we are serious about these 2, it will be expensive, but exciting! We are still the team to beat..

Just like this post.

Same as you.

It isn't only about where they are, it is the constant negativity directed at him. As I said, it is as much about tone as anything else.

Anything happens to Rodri we could be in trouble. Cover in that area is important, although not many will come close to his level. Signing someone, ace. A player from within the existing squad, superb. Kalvin hasn't done it yet for whatever reasons. He may never, it happens.

I'm sure we all want midfield cover, we just don't need to reference the 'failure' of Phillips every time a potential signing is discussed.

He was running on fumes in the second half yesterday.

They had 6 weeks off in the summer. Last 20 mins yday they were all knackered. Agree he can’t play same amount of games he played last season though.

Same as you.

Irony at it's finest.

I'd absolutely love Wirtz, but the chance of getting him this window is like 1%.

How do you know so much ?

Because he's said he wouldn't leave until after the euros.

He's got the number 10 shirt this season.

He's just come back from a really bad injury. He won't be moving anywhere this season as he will want a full season without any real pressure to showcase his talents.

He's still so young, why does he need to move?

Won't be the wirst signing!:))

So out of the 4 statements you cite,the last 3 are your assumptions and are irrelevant.
Can you prove the first statement .
And things can change very rapidly when one of the biggest clubs in Europe come calling

Only way to get 2 players in this late in the window is to put down a lot of money. We can do it, but do we want to? Sometimes we seem scared of the optics of doing so, I hope we just say screw it and get the players we want in.

 

[foggy1974]

Hopefully we shop in other leagues than the Prem. Fulham demanding 90 million for Palhinha. Midfield market is crazy in the premier league.

Can you blame then when West Ham wanted similar for Paqueta, with Rice & Caicedo going for £100m+

Guess who has been reading our forum ?

We’ve bought a fair few players later in the window than this without overpaying

Those were unwanted/young.

Gonna be someone really from left field because I cannot recall any midfielder/attacker that falls the “Akanji”-bracket

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Moises Caicedo for £115m is the biggest robbery in the history of football.

Dias.

Dias.

Question remains: midfield targets of caliber that is available for fairly good money. It’s way harder when looking at winger and/or midfielder

You like having last word don't you?
