Yeah, saw that and the reason touted was Howe liked the player. We also weren't bothered about a late offer for Almiron. Transfer business can only be described as in transition.
In general it is going to be difficult dealing with English PL clubs as they will now add the Saudi tax. Our scouts need to up their game and start looking further afield.
We also have the issue of Isak, Gordon and Bruno. I have a feeling they were given assurances over our ambition and so, if January the message is ‘there is poor value right now’ the. They may look to go in the Summer.
Not necessarily, think the window is still open for another 10 days there so could still happen soon.
Could be a tactical masterstroke to survive till January and steal Guehi for less? Or maybe it was just a bit of a cock up... I think there's a bit more to it than we think in honesty. Could be holding back to see what City's associated party appeal turns up so we can nail some bigger contracts for things like training ground / stadium before we spurge... But can't hide it was a disappointing window.
This is why you can never win in an argument with Chaos. You haven’t got the archive database to back this up.
Red bull are now our “ official energy drinks partner” And Chelsea just flogged a kid who never once played for them for £19m to Saudi (£6m profit)
