Chaser

If all of these deals fall down over the coming days, it’s an embarrassing look for the club. Trafford looks like he was committed to coming here judging by his comments previously and he’d bought into the project.

He's close

Agree with some of that if not all, I think it shows we have ambition and it is an area of weakness. It does leave us in a vulnerable position in other areas though. We seem to be shooting for the moon and shooting ourselves in the foot at the minute though

This window could be the one that kicks us on to the next level or takes us back 3 steps. Our squad is ridiculously thin to compete with Europe and needs strengthening. We've brought a player in who improves the first 11 so it's an excellent start but we are down to 2 recognised strikers, one of which doesn't seem to be that fancied. Defence needs younger bodies and if Longstaff goes, we should really be looking at replacing him too. Given we have such a small management team, it'll be more work to do business later in the window because Eddie will then be focusing on match tactics and team selection rather than trying to arrange deals with incoming players. The owners have fucked up not sorting the management structure quick enough and forseeing this problem with Mitchell. Surely someone within could see it coming. With the owners being at a distance, I do think things have fallen down since Staveley left, even if it's just what is projected to the public.

I have a feeling we won't get Wissa and Mbuemo will go to Man Utd instead. Which one is next on our list?

No but you have to have players who buy into the club. I don't think Liverpool will have it as easy this year because Slot is trying to bring in his own players to prove he hasn't just won the league with Klopps team. Regardless, they'll probably offer higher wages anyway.

According to Jan Aage Fjortoft, he would prefer Liverpool over us. If they're in discussions and he comes to us, either he was wrong or he believes in what we do. If he goes to them then I'd say we shouldn't have bothered our arses trying for a 3rd time to convince this lad.

If Isak does go and speaks broad Scouse while spitting on the front row in his first press conference, then we will know he has engineered this move.

I'm surprised they've not gone in for Gyokeres.

Fucking hell, that isn't Ekitike they're showing on there 🤣

Fuck me lighten up before I'm forced to join Gemmills tag team..

Dougle and Toonpack on Gemmill:

Much preferred it when there was an element of surprise in these transfers. Hate this fucking will they won't they merry go round.

Looks part of the gang already in the first days of his time with us. Looking forward to seeing him rip up that right hand side in the upcoming pre-season games.

Im sure there's a strategy to our purchasing plans, just wonder how much flex we have if we do get Ekitike, keep Isak and still require a CB and/or the Trafford deal.

I gave up yesterday.

So glad this place is back, they were total cunts on that Discord chat.

Could have picked a quieter week for it...

None of those are done yet though aside from Semenyos contract..

If a team is willing to pay £5m not to sign him, then we stay clear.

Hope he doesn't mind it being 5 Deg cooler than London.

Teams that have yet to spend any money this summer.... Us Villa Palace Mackems had that Jobe money burning a hole in their pocket like a Giro day at Wetherspoons so have spunked it all on a midfielder.

Elanga has had good returns for 2 seasons now and he has 5 years of Prem experience at only 23. He's hard working. Id say he was a good fit regardless of whether he's Isaks mate. If Isak wants him here it's a bonus.

I reckon that bloke who got Bournemouth relegated made the final cut. Top tier shit housing.
