I think the market has really messed us up. We are trying to find value in a crazy market. I reckon we didn’t think Rice would go for that much , now I reckon we didn’t think Paqueta would be this much.
Players that were 50 to 60 million are no longer that price. They are 80 to 100 million. It’s not going to stop either Prem money etc you’re going to have to spend vast amounts in one player due to price increases.
The one summer we could and should though mate? Our current net spend is next to nothing and we could still lost Laporte, Cancelo, Palmer, Doyle, THB and some younger players for decent money? Huge savings on wages as well i would imagine.

Then we need to wise up. Been going this way for a few windows and we have rivals willing to meet those prices.I think the market has really messed us up.

Wirtz for roughly £80m would be really nice :-)

100 million been quoted earlier in the window. Market is badly inflated. Barella inter wanted 80 to 90 million
has he gone or is this a rumour?Perrone gone out on loan to Las Palmas. Sounds like a nice all-inclusive beach resort. We will add a midfielder and a winger. You can doubt it but do not fear. Best team in the land.

Transfer window? Can’t even get a trial..This your first transfer window pal?

We might have to do a Brighton or Newcastle. If we have a certain budget we might have to look for young prospects which can become very good players

yeah mate should have predicted the future and bought a Mahrez replacement before we knew he wanted to go...This has been a piss poor, reactive and incoherent transfer window off the back of a treble.
Of course it is reactive. We had loose ends with Gundogan, Cancelo and Bernardo going into the summer. Mahrez suddenly decided he wanted out. Then we had Bayern to deal with over Walker and Ortega.
We've done well to keep hold of Walker and Bernardo, as well as sign our main target in Gvardiol.
Now we still have a bit of work to do with a midfielder or winger (I was never convinced we needed both) left to sign.
It's definitely been a tough window but if we can still add one more player of quality I think we'll be in pretty good shape.
