Have they changed the rules about players swapping clubs mid-season? I thought if any player had played in European competition for one club they could not play for another club in the same season, so there is no point in bringing anyone in from another Champions League club until the summer. By all means pursue Haaland or whoever but nobody from a club still involved in European competition would want to move until the summer window.

Yeah, Barcelona had it changed when they signed Coutinho from Liverpool. No cup tie anymore

We have limited squad depth. Saying to every player that they “don’t improve us” or “aren’t good enough” is unhelpful. Big news: eventually we may have to sign players that are below the level of our players who all start for their national teams. And they can catch up eventually with the right coaching. Or we won’t change the squad depth issue ever

I doubt we’re going to sign a specialised left back that is worse than our two stand in left backs.
We have two obvious positions that need addressing.

Xavi openly said today Barcelona can't yet register torres, players have to leave before January. Or take pay cuts (namechecked Dembele).

Maybe there is something for an answer to the common question on here of why didn't we drag it out more and why did we make it so easy for Barcelona to seal it so quickly. maybe it was US that wanted it done quickly, pick a reason, and gave Barcelona a favourable price if they got it over before the window started.

That's really spreading our 4th dimension chess game mindfuck strategy . obviously we have perfected it against the scum, so now we are seeing if it works against European teams!!!

Everton have just signed a left back.
I've been saying for ages we should be going in for digne so hopefully we now do

Digne is 28, massively injury prone, terrible attitude. A player like him was booted from the squad on disciplinary basis, and he's currently on the bench as their veteran right back Seamus Coleman is playing at left back. Stay well clear, let Chelsea or someone get him, we don't want passengers in this side.

I'd agree with you in terms of quality he has but those 2 factors have to be taken into account as well.

think we've had enough of French left-backs for the foreseeable future.

Reading between the lines I think the lad was homesick

Has Salah signed his contract yet ? Worth a cheeky bid even just to boil the piss
