It's Quiet the £250m return

[bluemc]

I think the process will be faster than that. Post international break when the players have a couple more games in their legs they'll figure things out. There was a lot of "nearly" on Saturday, which is a good thing.

Depends what you mean by a lot of "nearly". From my vantage point in SS3, there were plenty of "oh shit, they nearly got in again!" moments in the second half whilst we were plodding around the pitch offering no threat whatsoever to the Spurs keeper.

Whilst I hope Pep and the players figure it out soon, I didn't see many good things coming out of Saturday's performance.

And yet PSG want rid of this 26 year old best goalkeeper in the world and none of the fans are upset at him leaving…

Plenty of their fans have expressed their disappointment at the prospect of losing him. However, I would also point out that PSG would still have Donnarumma if they didn’t want to cut his pay.

I think there’s been a lot of overreaction to the defeat on Saturday.
If Marmoush takes that chance (Vicarious save), then the game would have been different.

Clearly we lack pace and physicality at the back and introducing Khusanov will help ease some of that.

I don’t know what anyone else’s perception is of Dias new contract extension, but although the defence hasn’t been a settled and consistent back four, he for me has been poor for a while.

If there’s any truth in Guehi being on the radar, I’d be all for it.

A rear guard of Donnarumma, Khusanov, Guehi, Gvardiol and Ait Nouri would be solid enough for me, especially with Rodri in front of them.

Ditch the inverted full back and let the attacking players do their thing.

Not sure we need a replacement for Savinho all told, but if one should present itself then do it.

Onwards and upwards.

Yup, there has been a massive overreaction to Saturday. We definitely need to see more games before we draw too many conclusions.

More big insiders hopping on the Guehi to City interest. Apparently players first choice is Liverpool but they're dragging their feet at the moment. City have made a move to Palace for him. Indifferent on this but if it means weakening Liverpool I'm all for it. I think Madrid are in for Konate, and Virgil is old as balls. Could be a spot of bother for them the near future. They have a couple young talents but no guaranteed quality.

Surely all but confirms the departure of a few of our older lads.

'None of their fans'

Or maybe they've just accepted he's leaving, in a similar way to the way we've accepted that Ederson is leaving

Doesn't make Ederson a bad keeper, does it?

Who else is on it? Virtually everything I've seen has come via the Daily Star so-called exclusive.

Which "big insiders" are on this rumour?

We're stacked at CB as it is, whilst he'd be a decent addition the signing would present squad issues unless we have a raft of players ready to leave. Can't see this one happening or even being remotely true.

I'd also hope any transfer isn't considered by the club just to "weaken Liverpool". Signing players just because someone else wants them is a rag move.

This Indy lad. He's been spot on all summer. Page apparently ran by 5 big transfer folk. I do sense a Liverpool bias on the page however. So that could explain the "Player wants LFC" portion. But also would understand from a playing time perspective if this was true. But I have no doubts we are interested after this.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Gibbs White still available?

Thanks for sharing. I do see the Liverpool bias. I said it this morning, but this one just feels like our name is being used so that Liverpool up their bid.

 

[AlthamBlue]

It's a sad state when people start quoting Indy fucking Kaila in the transfer forum.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Might not like this suggestion but Mainoo? Just been briefed he's considering his options? Would add some physicality to our midfield and he's homegrown? Plus the rags faces would be a picture

Please tell me mate that you are on the wind up? He’s fucking pony.

 

[City Raider]

if that's the case then its a disgrace a global organization basing its success on one player getting back to fitness

Not saying its ideal. Saying its fact.

 

[John Wayne]

Gibbs White still available?

He signed a new contract until 2028 a few weeks ago. Not heard of any release clause mooted. But other than a RB, this is exactly the kind of signing we need. A supremely athletic, physical midfielder would have prevented us from being overrun by Spurs.

Likely planted to make the dippers hurry up and put a proper bid in.

Exactly right.

Tryna get dippers to pay more. However would be an excellent signing for us

Page was purchased recently so ran by new people. Been first on an absurd number of leaks this summer and been accredited by a few insiders. Ornstein included.

Definitely not what it used to be in years back.

Don't shoot the messenger. Is it Guehi's agent trying to get Liverpool to pay up? Who fucking knows. But I expect it will be posted by the Romano's of the world in the next 24 hours.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Donnarumma is in the top three goalkeepers in the world, he's far superior to Ederson.

Bravo was also supposed to be elite with his feet.

It's a complete fallacy Donnarumma is poor with his feet, he's just not Ederson.

The best goalkeepers have an aura about them and Donnarumma has it in spades.

He will make mistakes just like every other keeper, but he will save us double digit points.

Can't wait to see him.

Thank you. Will this finally shut up some of the painful lemmings on here. Doubtful

I know it’s a bank holiday mate but you need to sober up, it’s work tomorrow.
