I've just read that West Ham are paying £27m for Fullkrug. The guy is 32 in a few months, that seems pretty f*cking steep. He's a good player but after signing for £12m last year he's scored 15 goals in 46 games and it isn't an outlay I'd want us to be making. They'll get 2 seasons before he's pretty much worthless. As for the Villa fapping that seems to be going on. They've traded Douglas Luiz for Onana (a downgrade) and Diaby - who some posters kept telling us was the second coming - for Philogene (a good prospect but again a downgrade). The only real improvement I see is at LB as Maatsen is probably better than Digne (another player we were told we were going to be sorry for missing out on). Not convinced they've improved, think they've got more depth but that their first team is actually weaker.
I would argue against that. Seriously come down lads... pull up a paving stone in your garden and look what's under it.. that's life
Indeed it is my friend. Now can you please do something to influence a transfer of any sort before we all spontaneously combust.
It is very odd that we have not actually signed a player of any note. Is there a problem do you think.
Mark Douglas claiming that we’re linked to a 3rd centre back - suggesting that we may well be looking to sign two centre backs?!
I thought it read more that we want Guehi most, but are also working on an alternative signing in case we're unable to agree a fee with Crystal Palace.
Yes, exactly. Lining up alternatives. One berth to fill, but not putting all the eggs in one basket... I doubt we're after two starting 11 level CBs. Would leave us unable to spend much at strengthening our RW.
If we’re going to a back 5 then a right winger isn’t a major necessity. The other centre back might be a younger squad player. Botman, Guehi and Schar. Kelly, Burn and new as back up
