Big Willy also counts as a home-grown player for us (I believe) as his combined time with Sheffield and us under the age of 21 qualifies him.

Since when was Thomas Frank Austrian, Sky Sports?
As if Spurs are paying wages that were hinted at previously..... unless the media (social and 'professional') have lied to us?!?

The good news is if you happen to catch your reflection and throw up on yourself it's likely to be an improvement.

The rationale for Pedro seems to be that he will play in a front 2 against sides who set up with a low block. Dunno if there's any truth to that obviously, there's no quotes from the club to say that we're still after him, let alone how he'd fit in. Apparently he still has 2 years on his contract, and Brighton always ask for silly money, so I doubt it will happen anyway.
I don't disagree, but don't see how you could convince him to come here to play second fiddle. You're also right about Brighton.

Why do we care what your BIL think, and why is he comparing Chelsea and Forest wingers?
Elanga is express pace, both footed and can play through the middle or out wide. Swedish connection.

Does Pedro excite anyone here? We'd be paying a Premier League Premium price for someone who IMO has bafely proven himself to be worth what Brighton paid for him (£30m). He strikes me as a poorer Richarlison, a player capable of the brilliant but streaky and not assured. Elanga is also not a pure goal scorer buy he has express pace and versatility to play wide or centrally. Given we are still constrained on budget the versatility is more valuable. Pedro would only be getting substitute minutes in games where Isak is available. Elanga could earn himself a starting spot. We do need some depth up front but we'd be paying overs with Pedro who seemingly also has temperament issues. Pass.

Can he play RCB? Or in goal? 🙂
It's allowed, yes.
The fact that we have two other National Team Swedish players has to help somewhat with deciding where to go. I don't think he's a £50m player though. More around the £30-40m mark. I suppose it also depends on the wage requirements.

I know we wont and I know why but part of me does want us to go for something stupid.
Every club that got the big fancy new owners did it at some point, the big signing that sort of worked sort of didn't. You can't do it now but I want our Robinho or Mutu.Where would that be in this team? As in which position. It's tough not to upset the balance of the team too much, that player has to be an exciting one. I guess that really only leaves RW or a change in formation to accommodate Isak and the incoming player in a FWD/CAM role which would.make it tough to accommodate Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton in midfield.

**** REBREAKING NEWS ****
THE RED HOT MITCH SUMMER HAS COMMENCED
We've signed
Ivan Cordoba, no wait, Antonio Cordero from Spanish GIANTS,Madrid, Malaga. BIG MITCH had this to say: "This is what I call fit for purpose. An abundance of potential. Eddie can look forward to news of him coming to training in 12 months time, before he's onsold to some one else for a small profit. To be honest it's patronising that they're making me comment on this small time signing when they've already tapped me on the shoulder and told everyone that I wasn't cutting it, but I suppose I have to at least keep pretending so they have to keep paying me."-

Locking up a long term top tier GK is smart business, but not not something I can get excited over. Both Pope and Dubravka didn't let us down through the season when called on. I do expect us to lock up Trafford after a lengthy pursuit but for him not to join up with us for another year.

Good thing for CT that the above post was not lost in the latest Quarter Centurium Bug strike.

Great for the league to have a proper class club in it. The Premier League should provide complimentary cheese slices for all of their supporters as a thank you.

The Isak bonus story is a serious data leek.

If the defender jumps, Jackson's right hook misses his chin. It's hardly Jackson's fault if the defender doesn't get out of the way when he launches his vicious assault.
The whole idea of not jumping is such bullshit as Botman was about to spring/jump to actually head the ball when he was elbowed in the face. Jackson, not knowing where the ball was, was never competing for it, so trying to twist it to the point where they're blaming Botman for not jumping well before the ball has even arrived is some next level victim blaming.
They've also been comparing it to Mings, who didn't even get a yellow. Apparently VAR thought it was worthy of a yellow but they can only act if it's potentially a red. He broke the poor Bournemouth player's jaw, but he was always looking at the ball and just aggressively shielding. Jackson's was a much more serious infringement but thankfully caused less damage.

He's just telling the truth that everyone can all see tbfAre they shit or they just don't give a shit? There's certainly an element of the former but a bigger chunk of the latter. Consider players who have since left and are performing much better. Telling everyone they're shit is a nice self fulfilling prophecy though and just adds to the general discontent at all levels.

I think you’re forgetting that it’s only the lesser clubs that need to maintain the integrity of the competition
Their slide down the table is costing them more also which is always nice. Amorim and Postecoglu have lost the plot and arrogantly painted themselves into the corner. The repercussions from the EL final and the season in general should be rather interesting.
