    I agree mate but it depends on which clubs, I know one is WHU and they could struggle, but if the others are mid table with a new owner and a project we lose out but Imwould expect a couple of top clubs looking at Kalimuendo and European nights

    In fairness Doc. If you are getting all of this information from anywhere other than the Clickbait sites you were laughing at about 7 hours ago, you have some amazing contacts :emoticon-0148-yes: <laugh>

    Sunderland have opened talks with him. He is apparently on £100k a week, £5m loan fee, if any team agrees that for a 19 year old I’d be amazed

    Whoever he goes to, you’d assume they want a promise that he’ll be first choice.

    Everyone should laugh in Chelsea’s face and walk away. You pay £10m for the privilege of improving another teams player, no thanks

    Edit Ignore all that, crossed wires thought we were still on the Chelsea lad

    I looked at the Wolves lineup and subs for tonight’s friendly against Lens, honestly it looked poor, I’d fancy us beating them without further signings

    Just looked on X and the fans are not happy at what they’re watching and 0-2 down. Wolves have to be one of those we target

    Don't think 49ers will hang their goalscoring hat on a 19 year old Chelsea forward who would be top earner at the club and command a hefty loan fee with no option to buy. They want proven strikers.

    Won't be happening.

    Wolves have lost Cunha but their best player was Ait-Nouri who went to City. They are in financial trouble and they look bang in trouble.

    If the reported terms they want on him are true, can't see anyone taking them up on it. Hope they have to keep him and see him strop at not getting first team football.

    Surely it can’t take into account transfer activity.

    I'll be gobsmacked if Everton and Wolves get those placings

    I asked AI why we were predicted to finish bottom, here was the reply

    Fixture Difficulty & Momentum & Transfer Activity

    • Supercomputer simulations factor in early-season fixtures:
      • Leeds face a tougher opening schedule, which can lead to low early points and negative momentum.
      • Sunderland and Burnley have slightly easier starts, allowing them to potentially avoid being bottom early, which simulations link to higher survival probability.

      • Predictions were based on current squads as of July 2025:
        • Leeds have yet to make significant Premier League-level signings, raising relegation risk.
        • Sunderland and Burnley have active transfer windows focused on key positions (defense and midfield), boosting projected xG and survival points.

    Got a feeling we gonna get someone today time is ticking. Need that striker in now. 2 weeks to go before it all kicks off. I know window is open for another month but we need him now a month can cause alot of damage.

    I think the teams we need to be beating/finishing above/competing with are Wolves, West Ham, Brentford, Sunderland and Burnley. Possibly Everton too with the squad they currently have but Moyes is a good manager so not sure they’ll be in it. West Ham have a few decent players too like Bowen so will probably do enough.
