It's Quiet the £250m return

[Rammy Blue]

No I got that, I meant more on the context of the window, and Khaldoon's stated 'objective'.

Ah right, personally I assumed Khaldoon just meant getting a couple of bodies in rather than our whole window’s signings?

 

[skillman]

I sincerely doubt that's true. He's just not needed, especially for that kind of money.

Using our name and prior interest to flush out others.

Screams rags

Maybe but probably 5 or 6 replacement's are already at the club, if you include Bah and the January arrivals. Not to mention Bobb, O’Reilly. Won’t all be succesful but thats 8 players all with a chance

Problem is that there is hardly a season of top-flight experience amongst 6 players, which I’m fine with because I’ve always appreciated that this rebuild was going to take time. We’re just going to have to dampen expectations and get behind them all, as mistakes and drops in form will be inevitable.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Romano has just retweeted his morning post about imminent bid for Cherki, he usually only does that when something official is about to break.

 

[omri]

ederson is beast.

rodri,ederson and rienders best midfiled in the world.

Yes true, but say we brought in 2 full back 2 cm all with experience, quite a likely expectation. Those 4 with Dias, Gvardiol, Ake Rodri, Haaland,Marmoush,Gonzalez, Foden maybe Kovacic or Bernardo make up an experienced strong 13 /14 and the younger players can be fed in slowly

Gonzalez?

Either that or us trying to push down the MGW price.

 

[Centurions]

Being told ten out.

Here's my educated guesses?

Eddie
Ortega
Stones
Walker
KDB
Gundo
McAtee
Jack
One of Bernie or Kovacic
Nunes
Phillips

No Grealish on your list? It's felt inevitable for the last few weeks surely?

 

[Coatigan]

That's what I suggested earlier, that he didn't mean all our transfer business. But he did also imply he wanted the squad that would be involved to he ready ahead of the cwc. My point is this expectation that our keepers will leave may have to wait till after the tournament.

It’s possible but it’s not going to be smooth sailing. Of those mentioned, based on what we’ve just seen, four are dependable and the other four are fairly reliable, though there is no guarantee that we can automatically depend on them all for the length of next season. Marmoush is new to the league and will understandably take time to settle.

Even with experienced additions, many of whom might themselves be new to the country and league, it’s going to be logistically difficult to have everyone ready to go in early August, particularly if there are also new goalkeepers. I’m just being realistic. The future certainly looks promising but there’s going to be choppy waters first.

That should end that discussion

Marmoush. 16 games 7 goals 2 assist. Think he's settled.

 

[nmc]

Not happening imo. Obviously feel the funds are better used elsewhere probably full back

In serious danger of being priced out of a move. I wonder if Cambiaso is the same ? That’s gone quiet.

are you Irish by any chance?

I suppose just depends when any potential bids arrive, it’s a weird dynamic with the CWC. If a player knows he’s going is he going to want to go and risk injury?

Honestly never believed we were in on him. This had the vibe of Madrid wanting to sell more than us wanting to buy

Regarding MGW I think he’s a better player than this forum gives him credit for, BUT he’s a **** and I’d rather get Reindeer and Cherki and fuck him off
