    We held onto Longstaff for as long as we could.

    Exactly.

    What about Isak?

    We're literally scouting for the big 6... Actually forget Newcastle the bigger picture is what is really sickening.

    Thr silver lining (if Sesko) does go to Manure is that we have bumped the price up for them. I genuinely think they will come unstuck at some point with the finances. Yes I know they get ridiculously huge revenues atm, but will that continue if they again fail to qualify for CL? They are gambling big to maintain that status and at some point I think those huge debts are actually going to bite them hard.

    There is a bit of that,we have 6 players that teams will/are looking at and could play for any team.
    This is what's going to happen this week:

    Thiaw
    Gallagher or Wharton
    Isak stays plus Osula and Wissa/Watkins/DCL(Villa won't sell to us unless it's stupid money)

    I'll eat my hat if that doesn't happen!

    Wharton would be a fantastic signing.

    Ramos for around €40m is a very decent option. I've not seem this Samu from Porto, but he could be another one to consider - another young player who has already played top level and much more affordable than the likes of Sesko, Ekitike, Pedro.

    That should also allow us funds for at least one quality CB, if not 2, or a CB and midfield cover.

    Just Spursey Spurs now, they like to have 25 strikers and no defence.

    If we go back in for Wissa, so will they.

    Yeah... Said the other day it becomes more about not losing out on a player for folk... We'll get one and Sesko could flop.. Ours could be better.. People get too sensitive to banter

    They've already been allowed to massively breach PSR and had it waved off without any issues.

    Do we think it'll be easier buying gems from Crystal Palace this year?

    Ramos would be at that price, yeah. Sadly through Romano has piped up about this one already and said it pretty much isn't happening as PSG don't want to sell him to us.

    And we can't rule Liverpool out - not unless you are resigned to losing Isak to them in this window.

    If they don't get him will they still go for other quality strikers instead? Especially if Nunez is off to Al Hilal.

    Palace just don't want to sell anyone to us without fleecing us. Personally I would just strike any player from Palace off of our target list as a 'not interested in that ****'.
