Matheus Nunes

well lets see if one more comes about. Its if anything happens to Rodri that concerns me, dont think we have adequate cover as things stand.

Kovacic, so better cover than last year.

I wonder if we think we can grind it out until January- the paqueta situation should be sorted by then and we can go back in

I've just got an update from my sources that there is a 100% a chance that something will either happen or not happen.

If you want me to verify that, it'll cost you a tenner.

He's just not that good

He's a hell of a lot better than the empty seats on the bench we have to fill out our roster.

 

[cityman14364]

Wolves signing a defender and a forward? They spending nunes cash already? Dont they have FFP issues?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yup, according to itk's something will happen.

 

[Dribble]

Palmer will get more than 45m. Same with KP.

What our players are worth, & what clubs are willing to pay for them are two different things.

Look at Bernardo! One of the best CAM's in the world, but the best bid we've ever received for him reportedly came in last summer's window from PSG, which was £49m, plus £10m in performance/success related add-ons.

The fuckin cheek of it! ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

Here's my post from the before the start of last season. How right was I.

I would say overall we are weaker, at the moment. I think we have lost 2 quality players in Jesus and Sterling, (although both were entering the last year of their contracts and not prepared to sign new ones). We have retained Marez who I would of been quite happy to see leave. At the back we have 4 senior centre halfs (one already injured) and 2 full backs. I think we are only 2 or 3 injuries in the wrong places before we could be really short. There is still time for additions to be made to the squad and I think we will get a new left back at least. I hope I am wrong but at the moment I don't feel that we have the numbers for what will be an unusual season with a World Cup in the middle. It pains me to say I would have Liverpool as slight favourites for the league. After finally signing the striker we all wanted I hope we haven't depleted the supporting cast to much.

That's why this year I think I will leave it to the club to know what is best.

WHU insiders are mooting such a possibility, as were SSN. Apparently he's the one Pep really wants, but obviously he's got the FA/Brazil/FIFA betting issue to resolve.

I'd want it to be accompanied by pics of you in a leather jock strap for that (preferably leather, although rubber acceptable). That, for me, will confirm that your sources are sound.

I understand the club has its valuations of what a player is worth and wants to hold firm to it but when the difference is only 5M, you'd expect them to bite the bullet once every blue moon. Especially when there are only two days left in the window.

 

[TrentGrisham]

That sums up why selling Palmer this late in the window would be foolish. Especially when you consider Doku's injury history.

Where is Philips

Isn’t the stock answer to this 115 charges?

Hiding behind Rodri.

I agree- but I think it's this dogged negotiating that has seen us through the last 10+ years which have been relatively fruitful. I kind of like that our money men won't roll over like everyone else. That said, I'd like them to bite the proverbial bullet this time.

I think it strengthens the case for selling Palmer for £30m+, & investing the money in Ezé who can play as a left/right winger (as can Doku), plus he's equally adept as a No 8, plus No 10.

He's got the creative skills & versatlity which Pep likes.

Paqueta 85m
Nunes 55m

Is Paqueta really 30m better than Nunes? For me Nunes at 60m still represents very good value especially considering the market right now, and not signing him at this late stage, when we all know we want a midfielder (see Rice and Paqueta) would be a poor decision.

85m combined for Nunes and Kovacic? Sign me up.
