    Remind me where Pedro agreed to join twice, changed his mind and made a TikTok with his twat of an agent taking the piss?

    I'm doubtful on that. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    Hmm, I'm sensing that if we mention Ekitike enough, then we can tip Magdad into a full meltdown.

    Anyone got any links to reports of us being in for Ekitike? Asking for a friend.

    Ekitike isn’t joining. Thiaw is versatile and can play RB, so likely alongside a starting CB

    He's still a twat though and caused numerous issues with team mates

    Not to mention the thrown elbow last season - that would have been a laaaarge ban had it grazed the opposition and they'd gone down like a sack of spuds...

    Roly, I don't think you get the rules of the Magdad Meltdown game.

    So, we're going to be spending £55m on Elanga and are told that a new striker to play alongside and provide backup for Isak is the next priority, having tried to sign JP for around £50m. Likely around £35m on Trafford. £25m Thiaw. £40m Scalvini or Guehi. If we sell Longy for around £15m, most of the CM names that have been linked will cost a bit more than that at around £25m. Are we really going to see a net spend of over £200m? I strongly doubt it, and for this reason I don't think we'll be seeing x2 CB additions, unless we decide to not buy in one of the other areas, or spend a lot less on our new striker option... Or if we get clever and do something like sell Longstaff and negotiate an initially lower cost solution such as signing Douglas Luiz on loan with a purchase option for next summer.

    Edit: Yeah, we'll blitz through the £200m mark when we add the £85m signing of the one day Toon legend, Ekitike.

    That would do very nicely. Where did you hear it?

    German lad I used to work with. Simons/Sesko getting all the attention but clubs quietly circling Leipzig.

    When I heard it sounds exactly like a Toon signing. Young, poor season last year but lot of ability and more of a Pedro than an Isak.

    Longstaff has agreed personal terms with Leeds.

    We want £15m for him.
