It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Legal Alien]

Good player but they would want a fortune for him.
I could see us picking up an experienced specialist overlapping LB to complement Zinchenko’s inside full back style on the cheap. A solid 7 who would be willing to rotate. Someone like Gaya, Tagliafico or even Bertrand on a free. Or Grimaldo from Benfica if we fancied spending a little more.
Domestically, and looking at more long term potential options, the kid at Palace, Mitchell, has had a really good season but just signed a new deal. Justin at Leicester can play on either side and was great before his injury and Robinson at Fulham (another right footer who plays on the left) had a promising debut year in the premier league, though whether he will be good enough for us I’m not entirely convinced.

Do we keep Mendy for another year. His value is at rock-bottom right now and we're obviously looking at some high priced signings in other areas, so why not?

He seems to be getting over his injuries, he'll have a full pre-season and he is liked in the dressing room.
If, i know a big if, he can get anywhere near his best again, he pretty much ticks all the boxes you describe.

You never know he could be this year's John Stones.

So Messi and Haaland exit stage left and we have Kane and Grealish. We've saved a stack on wages..

He will be very hard to shift. Salary, injuries and performance levels are a toxic mix for us. Whether he remains in our plans is more doubtful

Have no idea how we get Grealish

Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone missing you?

Kyle, Raheem and Scott are more 2000s boyband material.

Having 6 out of the 11 starters for England is going to confuse a lot of haters.

Is it me you're looking for?

Probably not Lionel as she's blind. Still cracks me up this video :-)

Steady mate, fellow journos can stick together, but I'm a happily married man ;)

Perhaps we'll all be dancing on the ceiling next weekend, eh!

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

No

This may be surprising to some people, but there are some pretty good targets outside the Premier League!

It’s all opinion I think Digne would be good
There’s obviously other decent players all over the world as well
