Who now then?...

[p.taker]

Zinchenko + £40m + Douglas Luiz on loan. Gives them an improvement in creative midfield, a short term replacement for Neves and £40m to reinvest.

Everyone has their price.

First year back in the PL and they will want to finish in the top half. No chance of a deal for him at this juncture.

 

[BlueisCity]

This has to be more frustrating than the Sanchez saga with trying to buy a 6 as we need one clearly.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Will situation for the DM market be any better next year? If not, then we have a big problem

 

[Dax777]

There is a player in there and has shown it at monaco.

Perhaps. But I'd suggest we let someone else find the player. :)

That's why I was nervous when the Jorginho saga started to go tits up. There isn't much available over the next year. If the likes of Ndombele or Rabiot have great seasons then Barca or Madrid will come snooping in with silly money and take them.

 

[LIBlue]

Stones is the answer, unless the club really are working on a transfer no one has mentioned yet. With two days left and nothing leaking sounds unlikely. I’m still hoping that we changed our mind and go back in for Thiago

I thought Jorginho was shit to begin with haha

 

[Del_Bosque]

We should of just signed Fred

Can see why Pep wanted to get our Business done in Jan

3 windows running where we have seemingly run out of time on transfer targets

 

[Dax777]

Bakayoko? Fuck no. He wasn't even great for Monaco, he was carried by Fabinho defensively.

There are a ton of players still potentially on the market.

Julian Weigl- No
Adrien Rabiot No ( doesn't want to play the position)
Wilfried Ndidi No
Mario Lemina Maybe ( strictly backup material. So underwhelming)
Marcelo Brozović Decent
Asier Illarramendi Yes
Steven N'Zonzi No ( too old)
Ivan Rakitić Lol
Stanislav Lobotka- Great option
Ruben Neves - Unlikely
Diadie Samassékou - Interesting
Johannes Geis - No
Héctor Herrera- Interesting but No
Aaron Ramsey- No
Sami Khedira- No
Mousa Dembèlè- No
Alan Dzagoev-No

Where are my yes guys?

Slightly over the top mate! Been confirmed we had everything agreed for Jorginho but got stiffed at the last minute? Hopefully we have something on the go

And look how we've suffered.....pmsl.

 

[Silva2021]

48 hours to go.

I think we will sign no-one!

But it is what it is, a bonus if we get one. I’m sure over the road will sign a couple but will be 3rd or 4th choice or price will be way over the odds!

 

[robbieh]

Injury to Dinho and the CL will be tough. Even with him not sure we have enough to overcome the better sides who are playing with 12.

Domestically we should be OK.

 

[kun]

Where are my yes guys?

You're yes on Illarramendi, who is 28, but no on N'Zonzi because he's too old at 29?

 

[kun]

Where are my yes guys?

Also, they were just off my head,

Milinkovic-Savić (near impossible)
Frenkie De Jong
Remo Frueler
Leandro Paredes
Leander Dendoncker
Stefano Sturaro
Dani Parejo
Piotr Zielinski
Oriol Romeu
Rodrigo Bentacur
Lorenzo Pellegrini
Óliver Torres

All I'm saying, there are a shit load of left-field choices

 

[Rammy Blue]

We’ve not been good with late deals in last few windows so have no reason to believe that will change as clubs enjoy bumping up the price on us when they think they have us by the short n curlies.

Would love to be proved wrong but can’t see it.

Only saving grace is we can spend next 4 months tapping up and sign someone in Jan now that they are still eligible for Chumps.

 

[Larry Stranger]

Domestically we should be OK.

So then by your logic we shouldn't buy anyone unless they are top drawer and I think that's what we're trying to do. I don't see us buying someone for the sake of it or who would be a backup to Dinho. If Dinho gets injured how would his backup be any better?

 

[argyle]

We'll probably try and get someone in January.

Can't see the club doing anything now.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

But is the DM market going to magically get better in 5 months? Or even next summer for that matter
