chel just have to wait and sea how he develops

Still dipping his Tosin IMO

Tosin has hardly pulled up trees at Chelsea tbf.

Fair question

If a player is cheap and foreign they're also likely to be inexperienced . Think Howe maybe wants premier league proven in certain positions. The young ones have turned us down lately, eg Kushanov, Tosin..there are others...

Going to San Sebastián on Thursday, want your jaw testing?

yeah, he’s not an out and out winger in the way Elanga is but he has played out there. Elanga can play off either flank too so both signings make sense in terms of squad depth because they’re both versatile. Tbh, neither of them would be my first choice. Semenyo has been rumoured to be up for sale for a similar price to what forest want for Elanga. I like Pedro but also can’t help but think there is better value available abroad. But if Howe wants them, fair fucks. He knows more than I do.

We won’t make it to Bilbao. Eating my way through pintxos in San Sebastián, then going back to Bordeaux to restock with red wine…

@Dr Gloom go to 6:50 on that video. I agree with this lad about Pedro, not sure if I've seen him play wide too often. I've seen him at 10 and 9. If we get Elanga and don't sell anyone we don't really need him to cover the flanks either. That's an absolute best case scenario obviously...

yeah, he makes total sense for that reason. can also play as number 10 if howe wants the option of playing 4-2-3-1. however, he is expensive and a lot of his goals have been pens but i like the idea of another brazilian in the mix

Possibly but I think someone that could do a shift up there (in the ilk of Gordon) might be desirable in the RW search.

If we get Pedro Im not sure we will sign another striker on top of him. He's got 30 goals in 70 games for Brighton, which beats anyone in our squad bar Isak.

Probably the exact reason we are after Pedro tbf. He can play across the front 3 like Gordon, but is much better at CF than him.

Enjoy strawb mate. Get your feet up and enjoy the food and drink!

I’ve never touched the smack actually

like i said what happened to the chump? did he finally tire of making himself look a monumental tit?

it's not my personal shopping list. i based it on the main players we're currently being linked with (pedro, elanga, ramsey, guehi and trafford). i have no clue if we are actually planning to add players in all of those positions, what our total budget is, how many players we will need to shift in order to finance it while staying clear of psr problems etc. it's probably unlikely that we buy specialist players in all of those positions, particularly CF. we already have isak and osula and they're typically the most expensive players on the market. that's why the pedro link makes sense to me, despite the astronomical fee mooted, as he can add depth in about four positions

Elanga and Osula have been really good mates for years apparently.

I'm in We're not going to get everything on your shopping list. It's financially impossible to. We didn't last season either and we all know how that turned out. It's not that I was happy myself last September (last summers window was very publicly a disaster) but if Cordero is a midfielder and we get a couple of forwards and a CB that will probably be it. Of course I might be completely incorrect on all that, yeah I know that sounds unbelievable etc etc 😆

Yeah but look at the injury situation the last time we qualified for Europe...

CN aka. Casey is on it.

The ‘Hot Mitch summer’.

yes, obviously. which is why i think we'll sign another versatile forward who can cover CF as well as a wide position, instead of a specialist CF. i don't know if that player is elanga, joao pedro or someone else we haven't been linked with yet but i suspect it'll be someone with versatility so we can let wilson go and keep osula as third choice. it would be great to get a new RW and a specialist CF to cover Isak but it blows a massive amount of the budget. i'm not sure we have the cash to get players in all the positions we have been rumoured to be upgrading (CF, RW, RCB, CM and GK) without significant outgoings.
