    According to Sacha the Belgian journalist speaking on WMS today. Ghisolfi has been handed the keys to this window and the signings coming in are mostly to do with him.

    I think it’ll be a team effort but he’s 100% the factor in these French, Italian and Belgian markets

    I think he will play loads for City this season, turning him into a RB arent they

    Mental that we are now throwing these names out and they don't actually feel impossible to pull off

    Of course these types of deals are so hard to do but I look at players like Harvey Elliot and think 'yeah we can get him', that's mental for a newly promoted side that hasn't played in the PL for 8 years

    Yeah pep reckons nunes isnt smart enough to play in their midfield but has said he doesn't want to lose him after his performances at RB.

    I still don’t believe we could get Harvey Elliott at this stage. He’ll be playing European football next season and rightfully so imo

    i was pretty much in line with those who were worried about onien and VAR, despite the fact that he had proved himself well capable at the back that 'ruff n tuff' style of defending was scary looking at VAR.

    then we got the play offs and i did mention it at the time, i think we saw a different onien, he held himself back and never gave the ref an option but still defended with his life...i get the feeling he is much smarter than many think he is and he knows how much he can push (or not) and keep doing his job.

    there are question marks with all our players at the minute, they all have to prove themselves in the premier but i think onien is pretty much certain to do a top job.

    above all else, he is exactly the type of lad you want around the squad, he will sell the club, the city and the people to any new players better than 'the management'.

    Depends how much a midfielder likes being told he doesn't have the composure to play there and needs to play full back I suppose. Especially if they buy someone else or Ait Nouri means they end up playing an Akanji type at right back so he ends up being reserve RB.

    I don’t think it would fade away, he will want to prove himself and I’d be amazed if he didn’t back himself to be playing regularly this season. If he’s not I think he’d leave to get games.

    It's an unlikely deal but I don't think it's impossible

    As with all deals it'll come down to who else is in for him

    I don't he starts regularly for any of the top sides in England and I think he will want regular 1st team football. The German teams could be a threat tho, he would be unreal over there

    As i said hard deal to do but def doesn't feel impossible

    I think O'Nien will be a starter in 1:2 - He deserves it and I believe he is good enough

    Pretty cool, didn't know that

    https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/mens-first-team/20220826-nunes-this-is-where-i-m-supposed-to-be/

    ....On supporting Sunderland as a child

    “My stepdad is from Sunderland, so when I was growing up in Brazil, we would spend every Saturday or Sunday morning watching Sunderland’s matches.

    “It would be in the mornings, because in Brazil, we were about four hours behind here in England, so in the weekend, every morning we would spend watching Sunderland on the TV.

    “But it wasn’t only Sunderland, it would be all of the Premier League and the rest of the teams as well, so since I was a little kid, I have been watching Sunderland and the rest of the Premier League.”

    I think the main competition is those ‘not threatened’ clubs though

    Could easily land at Fulham or Brighton

    Sums it up perfectly for me.

    O9 is a prince among men, an absolute diamond who bleeds red and white.

    Fully deserves to be rewarded with a new improved contract.

    It is true. Everyone at his school wanted to be Ronaldinho or Ronaldo. Nunes wanted to be Cattermole! <laugh>

    I'm not really a massive fan of McAtee but he's English, versatile, a couple positions we need, young. So I couldn't really pick it apart if we did go for him.
