Think it's too late for us to consider it. No obvious replacement. Unless we went in hard for Kimmich...

Bobb's injury meant a bit of tinkering was required, but I'm relatively happy with it. Hoping the barcodes turn up tomorrow.

Very carefully chosen words. Don't think Pep will be too happy if Cancelo is still here next month but the club have to draw a line somewhere or get rinsed for the remaining 3 years of his contract. I expect if he does stay he'll get minutes, and we'll see how things go from there. But with Pep...

Loan next year, Romano says. Staying with us this season (presumably in EDS).

I wonder if we'd have kept Delap, had we known Alvarez was going.

I'm not saying this is the case whatsoever, but it would make sense for the club to brief that it was non-contact even if it wasn't. It could be the most innocuous contact ever, not even a tackle, but if you put it out there, the worst corners of the fanbase online won't let it go. Especially if...

I don't think we need to sign a winger/attacking midfielder to cover Bobb for a few months. We have plenty in those positions including McAtee. But it does remove a false 9 option. Still think we end up signing a striker to replace Alvarez and maybe a midfielder if Nunes goes.

Nunes burnt his bridges at Wolves by going on strike. More chance of me signing for them.

Big chance for him now. You'd imagine he'll start against Chelsea with Bernardo needed in midfield.

The point I was (perhaps clumsily) trying to make is that our problem is not a lack of numbers, but a lack of quality depth in midfield. We have the likes of Phillips, Nunes and Kovacic to cover Rodri but only one of those has earned Pep's trust, and it's not his natural position either...

We definitely don't need to sign a winger. Think it will give us the push we need to sign an Alvarez replacement though, rather than just going with what we gave.

I'd imagine Savinho comes into the side for Bobb.

Jesus lads, it's the transfer thread. Just an opinion.

Pep needs to decide if he rates Nunes or not. If he doesn't, get him sold or loaned out and bring in a midfielder and a forward. If he does, then he needs to play him.

Colloquially, in football at least, a 'broken leg' tends to mean either a fracture dislocation or a compound fracture. Basically, a horror injury. A fracture is more likely to mean a smaller or cleaner break, which may even be able to heal without an operation. But that's purely semantics. It's...

Simon Stone says he did it while turning. Which probably means he got his boot stuck in the turf. Just rotten luck.

By the way Jack's worded it and considering twosips' source, I'm hoping it's not the worst case scenario of a broken leg, but a smaller issue.

Oh fuck my LIFE. Speedy recovery Oscar.
