It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Maguire, Dani Alves,Bellingham, Rice as well. It is a big step and it still has to take some consideration regardless of Pep and City,

All of those went for more money elsewhere.

Read that Benfica are dissatisfied with Kabore already and want to terminate his season-long deal in the window

Can they do that?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I'd take either Allison or Kelleher.
Seemingly Slot is happy to let either go.
Not too sure why.
Leicester and Fulham looking at Delap in the Xmas transfer window.
Our buyback clause doesn't kick in until the end of this season.
Brighton also willing to let Ferguson go on loan.
Any of those would be an improvement to our squad strength.

Id be very surprised if we sign anyone in Jan. Unless the charges case is done and dusted, I just don't think the club will make a move.

Whilst I want to believe the confidence that seemingly Pep has and I want to trust Tolmie is hearing news in good faith. It's not done until it's done.

Understandably potential recruits would be very cautious as well. I'd speculate any decent top players would be reluctant to seriously consider us before the case is done and dusted.

When Steed Malbranque turned us down, I was devestated. It summed up where we were outside the blue tinted lens. Fulham were more attractive.

To suggest anything like that now is negated by the likes of Haaland, Gvardiol, Grealish - tracked and wanted by everyone and chose us. Is the 115 spectre of doom influencing choices, who knows? But we are a huge pull. Sometimes some players just don’t want to move to Manchester. See Newcastle, Anzhi Makhachkala or Saudi clubs for reference to where money alone gets you. But how many talents do we attract who turn our club and city into their home and stay for most of their careers. Think a few are selling us a bit short here

If nothing else , I would want Pep to leave the team as strong as Kloop did which involved blooding Some youngsters too along with some intelligent signings in the next 4 windows.

 

[RayCTID]

Not suggesting we aren't a major pull but the statement that once City come knocking you drop everything is a little hyperbolic. Especially mid-season.

Stiller's nose is enormous. What a snozz, that.

Hjulmand would be a fantastic target, the captain of his current club, a defensive mid with stature, and poise, and physicality. He's the most like for like Rodri replacement on the market right now, and he may be available for a cut rate price for his old sporting director joining up with us.

But he's got an Arsenal tattoo.

Allison would be decent but not Kelleher.
