  1. From David Ornstein's Transfer Guide this morning: On Jacob Ramsey On Jhon Duran
  2. Hermoso on a free would be a very shrewd signing. Similiar profile to Torres. Can also play LB if we want to play a defensive minded LB (much like if we put Pau out there), so offers something different to Alex Moreno. Hermoso at LB when Frimpong (or equally more attack minded player) is playing RB? Think this signals Digne will definitely be off in the Summer, which I think from a squad building point of view is the right thing to do due to his huge hit in wages. Hermoso and Moreno combined will likely be on same salary as Digne by himself. Also Digne only has 2 years left on contract this summer - last chance to sell him for a reasonable fee, generally with 1 year left the fee is usually discounted (better than losing for nothing).
  3. I like these moves, particularly for younger players who are having to move country. By signing him now, and even loaning him back, we know he will be with the squad Day 1 of pre-season so he will be able to spend time in the summer before pre-season finding somewhere to live - getting all of that sorted in the gap between season end and pre-season started just gives greater opportunity for success as he integrates in to the team.

    Douglas Luiz

    Romano isn't the source of this update - it's come from Rahman Osman and Romano is just riding the trending wave (as he does). And "talks" do not mean anything anyway.
  5. Martinez Cash - Konsa - Carlos - Pau McGinn - Kamara - Luiz - Coutinho Diaby - Watkins With Pau naturally staying back more, I think we could get away with Coutinho playing in front. That's the position in the 11 I'm most unsure of.
  6. Noticed in the latest training video he was training with the First Team alongside Archer and JPB from the youth setup. Might be filling in alongside Chambers as the 4th/5th choice CBs for the time being, although a loan may be best for his development. Will be interesting to see what happens but he's quite clearly well thought of within the club.
  7. Why have you quoted it?!
  8. Matteo Moretto is usually highly reliable. Think this would more likely signal that Digne is on the way out, as has been speculated all summer?
  9. Cash and Digne AND Bailey? Whew this is going to be an open game.
  10. Monchi in his Sky interview with Rob Dorsett - "While the window is open, we continue with working to build the best squad possible. That's why I think more players will arrive."
  11. Available to watch here. Timestamp start is 44:30 on this video (Rob Dorseet intro). Monchi interview itself starts at (45:30)
  12. Trying to look at any kind of silver lining to the Buendia news, at least it occured whilst the transfer window was still open.
  13. With the horrendous news that Buendia has suffered a bad knee injury, our left side is really worrisome. I wonder if we see Tielemans in and either him or Dougie moved to that advanced/left sided midfield role now. Might be a big ask for JPB to start day 1. Coutinho maybe? Big blow and a big call to be made by Emery in the very first weekend.
  14. Get well soon Emi. Will be a big miss.
  15. The definition of a boom or bust signing. This is a big call by Monchi, especially after already signing him at Roma.
  16. Martinez Cash - Konsa - Mings - Pau McGinn - Kamara - D. Luiz - Buendia Diaby - Watkins I don't think we start with both Cash and Digne away at Newcastle. Can see Digne coming on later in the game if we're chasing a result. Think Buendia gets the nod on the left hand side - will get replaced by Coutinho/JPB/Tielemans in the second half depending on the state of the game. Forward line picks itself. Can see Diaby and McGinn shifting roles on that right hand side during the game. And will be nice to have a full bench of options!
  17. Could be although West Ham have also been linked recently.
  18. Worth noting that if Hearts and Hibs both qualify, the Home/Away legs may get shuffled around - don't think both Edinburgh clubs can host European fixtures on the same day due to policing resources.
  19. Bit different to the usual stuff and it's a slow news night so just to move the conversation along... A Barca ITK (so as usual, take everything with a pinch of salt until a reputable source says anything) says we've offered for Ferran Torres: 4m loan fee for season we pay all his wages during loan 30m mandatory fee at end of loan
  20. Marcos Leonardo... yes please Monchi. Love that profile of player to join the senior squad.
  21. Certainly not going to question Emery or Monchi's choice of full backs based in Spain.
  22. Wooo hoooo! Lets goooo! Great signing. Devil in the details, but this is exciting.
