Gallagher Watch
The BBC are claiming that Chelsea have slapped a £60m price tag on him in the vain hope of complying with FFP, so sod that for a lark
Exodus Watch
David Ornstein claims we're happy to let Eric Dier leave on a free if there is any interest

Have to wonder if we're recalling Tanganga to plug the gap at that point

Dier out and new CB (Dragusin in)
Suddenly realised that we could potentially be facing an Overseas timebomb: Man Utd sending back Reguilon puts us back at the limit, and the threat of Galatasaray sending back Nom Belly would put us over

That's no doubt why we're willing to let Dier go for a free, as he's the second-easiest player to sacrifice after Reggie
 
The best thing we can do with Gallagher is string them along until an hour or so before the window shuts before suddenly withdrawing our bid. Ideally after they've already signed other players.

Pah, amateur. Levy will :

1. Do a Richarlison (and pay 20m less than they claim he is worth)
2. Spread the payments over EIGHT seasons

They will just not register Ndombele and Reguilon if they’re over the overseas limit.

Mike McGrath at the Torygraph claims we're looking at Sunderland's Dan Neil, with a £10m fee being quoted

Although the fee sounds highly unlikely, as he came through their academy and is contracted until 2026 and there's plenty of other clubs being linked with him, it really is starting to look like we're setting the stage for Hojbjerg's departure

Sunderland are doing things right with their focus on youth talent and attacking football.
They probably wouldn't want to lose Neil right now, though.
One of their other midfielders is in deep ****, too:

I hope so. It's the acid test of whether things have really changed. Victor Wanyama stayed in the squad, for 2 whole seasons, because nobody would buy him. It was because we paid him a substantial wage, despite him being unable to run, and the club wouldn't countenance his loss of utility.

If we pay Ndombele to eat cream cakes, it would be preferable to expecting Ange to integrate the twat into his training and squad. As a sporting non-entity, the club just have to write his cost off.

With it being so tight for registrations I just can’t see how Ange would register a player he won’t use. Reguilon has more chance of being registered than Ndombele if they’re both at the club at the end of the window.
 
We surely won't register Perisic and if Dier leaves too we've got two free slots with Reguilon replacing Lloris...so I don't think we have any sort of problem in practice.

Slightly off topic, but I love this!

All of the squads, same video. Class.

Something wonderful is happening at this club. Finally.

I think we are more than capable of surprising a few people regards to where we end up this season.

Our squad is being underestimated. When it returns to near full strength, we will be ready to upset some teams, and pundits.

Women's goal was the best! It should have been a penalty if she had missed too and at least a yellow card.

Surely Reguilon will be off on loan again. I can’t see how Ange will have changed his mind on him since last summer especially as his Man Utd loan was underwhelming
