It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

It's the exact same situation with Haaland. He's playing virtually every minute of every game because we haven't got a back up. I'm not sure playing him until he breaks is a sensible strategy.

If we're not gonna buy a 2nd striker, maybe we should start giving Mubama a chance. I can see him starting against Salford

Nunes seems the most likely makeweight, although not convinced he’d actually get into their starting XI. £50m + Nunes would be a good deal for us, and help Newcastle with any imminent PSR issues.

I like the sounds of this. But I think whenever a player is involved now they're sold for cash for the benefit of both teams PSR headroom.

We pay Newcastle for Bruno G for £75m, they pay us £25m for Nunes (essentially the £50m + player valued at £25m. Both teams get to add the values to PSR calculations. Writing off Nunes for £0 won't happen.

Can’t imagine Newcastle will be remotely interested in Nunes (sadly).

I read we will go for guimeres and don't feel the performances will improve one bit, he has no pace, or the defensive ability to sit in front of a defence, even fans of the horse punchers concede he isn't great as a holding midfielder and better in an advances role and he isn't an improvement on foden, kev, grealish or berny.

Pointless imho and a signing that leavws me unenthusiastic

Sounds too good to be true

Great player somehow I think they would be not inclined to sell.

The strategy was to play gundo in a false 9 in games where he’s not fit or not needed in terms of the level of the team. However with injuries we haven’t been able to play that system

I've not heard that one before, and it doesn't seem the best plan anyway in case of injury. I doubt it's even true tbh

The fact is that Haaland has played well over two hours more than any other player we have and that's just PL minutes. Taking into account his minutes in the CL and it's probably way more.

It was just piss poor planning for the season ahead.

So we are up to four players now, after it was two initially when we were in this losing streak, then three. Wonder how many it will be if we keep up this form before the window opens.

But would someone better than Delap sit on our bench?

Nkunku sits on the Chelsea bench.

Nkunku sits on the Chelsea bench.

Now there is a guy that we should look into.
