It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Doesn’t need to happen this summer, KDB ,Walker, Gindogan Phillips probably do, Bernardo and Ederson may want to. No reason why any others like Kovacic can’t do another season as squad players. Keeping the summer upheaval no the minimum.

Agree to an extent but freeing up wages with the likes of Kovacic could be helpful. I love bernardo but I do think his race is run ...not physically but maybe mentally...he has wanted to leave before

It does seem my comment has stirred up some shit. Thanks for the feedback

I personally would love us to go and bring Harwood-Bellis back. I think we still have a buy back option. He is home grown and has now had the experience he has needed.

I agree. He’s a top young player who’s looked pretty good for a poor side.

To me he has more potential than the likes of Guehi or Brainthwaite and would cost about 50m less. It’s a no brainer

I'm not sure on the T&Cs, I have a feeling the selling club can veto it, even if THB wants to come back and we meet the buy back fee. Soton's season looks like a write off, almost half way and they only have 6 points, they're toast. They may decide to take the cash. Also would like to see Perrone and Doyle recalled. Esbrand Wilson never gets a kick so he could go out on loan. Gundo looks completely cooked and should only ever be playing cameo roles eg come on around 86 mins when we're winning 5 nil. Don't laugh.

A wildcard for central midfield Bellingham the brother that's at Sunderland only 19 under Pep managed the right way he could become a future star. It's random and as I said a different option. As we are not going to get a main target in January window

Not such a wild idea. Has Madrid and Dortmund interest.

Also Alvarez did nothing his first 6 months, just trained with the squad. Expect the same.

Nothing?

Alvarez came in and produced from the start, I think everyone was shocked at what he produced.

Exactly. Scored 2 goals on his full Premier League debut. 17 goals and 5 assists in his debut season.

The lack of inside info on the transfer forum is crap both for entertainment and more importantly the team who need players.

The ITK is dead.

I don't think we'll do any business mate, Echeverri and that's it. I think this ongoing 115 shit has put players off joining

His contribution from the off was superb.

Clear and irrefutable evidence.

 

[Fordyboy46]

We need to start looking at Bournemouth and Brighton as to how they operate in the market . They seem to scout some gems from around the world at good prices

Come on mate, the club and agents will speak etc, it’s not that

Surely it's having a big part to play. If you were a big name player you'd be holding off until the verdict was announced

Or we just can’t get the big names currently in January? Like Zubimendi has seemingly just said he doesn’t want to leave Spain? Bruno G maybe £120m quoted from Newcastle?

We did acquire Doku, Nunes, Gvardiol and Kovacic for a combined cost of £200m after the charges had been announced. It's therefore hard to know the extent to which the charges have deterred players from joining us.

I'm much more minded to think that the board thought that they could get away with rebuilding the squad until 2025, with a new DoF in post and a fortune to spend. Rodri's injury came along and everything has since unravelled. They were simply complacent in thinking they could get away without adequate depth in the striker and DM departments. Furthermore, it was borderline arrogance to think we could enter the season with just six defenders (I'm not counting Rico as a defender), two of whom are very injury-prone and one for whom we could all see was past it throughout last season.

I do. For all the club will make assurances, a player and his agent would be thinking, “lets hang fire”.

If players are put off by the charges then fuck em

We want players who will be committed to us to win trophy’s regardless where we are in terms of leagues

One of our best players when we were shit, who I would class as close to Legend status, was bought for 80 grand from Huddersfield

He dragged the lot of our team then by the scruff of their necks to promotion

This is what we need now

Second comment:
Corrected yours in bold but fully agree, like everyone else with sensible thoughts here.

Either trying to troll and if not hope it was made under the influence of drink/drugs in a stupor, whatever the case an incredibly shite go at it and must think properly before commenting brain diarrhea next time.

No violent sex offenders wanted.

What about placid ones?

It should also be a sign that Viana has signed up to be our new director of football and he will have had a full breakdown of the charges etc as he’s not going to leave a champions league club for one going to get relegated and all the best players leave?!
