  1. Highly unlikely we will sign him IMO ... He is too good for our current position and will probs end up in Spain or a team like Spurs ... I wouldn’t get your hopes up I’m waiting for the story to be squashed as a non starter ... Sadly the other names linked are more realistic...
  2. If we going after Getafe players I’d personally go for Nemanja Maksimovic as CM/DM linked with Wet Spam ... The Argentinian Lewandiwski ... £12million release clause apparently it’s the sort of signing a mid ranked Spanish/Italian club will make then sell him on for a ****-ton on ££££ In a season or two ...
  3. 32 yo though ... better value to be had elsewhere IMO
  4. Get marvelous to put in a good word ...
  5. So today alone we have been linked with Britt Ass... piatkek, benteke and Giroud .... think we can safely cross piatek off the list wonder what tomorrow brings?
  6. In a world with no FFP stifling us just imagine a window of Rashica & Piatek .... Currently a pipe dream but I do hope these sorts of deals will soon be within our grasp come the summer once we are established in the prem again ...
  7. They have Rafael Leao also plus Rebic as well as FFP issues ...It’s more likely we will sign Borini if being realistic Though out of the two ...
  8. Linked with Newcastle as well so poss attainable... probs BS but hopefully not !
  9. It’s the small world phenomenon theory otherwise known as the six degrees of separation... Poor joke aside... I used to work for OUFC a few years ago now and what struck me initially was if you are in the inner sanctum’s of the game peeps talk a hell of a lot from different clubs about other club matters regardless of the division and very open about these/all matters as you build a network of contacts etc ...
  10. Looks like a cock & bulls and a butt ... Or a cock n bulls is about to penetrate the caped crusaders bat symbol ...
  11. Benteke scoring record is shit end of no excuses he is past it ..
  12. **** OFF TALKING ABOUT THE HAS BEEN BENTEKE FFS !!! If smith really wanted Maupay would be here as like Konsa. Some of other reason was at play - simples. Not sure what that is, but if Dean really wanted him then a deal would of been brokered.
  13. Mateta would be a huge upgrade on Wesley but will no doubt cost close to €25mill + just imagine a front line of Grealish Rashica and Mateta WOW ! Ain’t gunna happen I know!
  14. He has just returned to fitness ... lucky it wasn’t his ACL , torn meniscus. He looks a better version of Wesley. Doesn’t fit with Dean’s hit the ground running comments so doubt it’s a goer now .
  15. Jean-Phillipe Mateta . Heard he was the one we wanted back in the summer. Looks a great player.
  16. Piatek linked with Newcastle ... worth a cheeky bid ?
  17. Nemanja Maksimovic From Getafe would add class and steel to our midfield. Linked with West Ham so attainable..
  18. Would definitely take Barkley but he wont swop the Chelsea bench for a regelation scrap... In the summer he may be more attainable depending on how we finish...
  19. You have to look at the defence he as playing behind some of those games, which doesn’t excuse all the soft shots & howlers as such but is a mitigating factor for me. let’s see how he does with Mings Engels etc before casting ultimate judgement on his ability? . I Wouldn’t underestimate the Cutler effect either. He may be shit but he also come good... I’m reserving judgement and for now and I’m just happy Heaton’s (unfortunate) injury has happened at the beginning rather than the end of the window giving us time... if butter fingers resurfaces
  20. We don’t have anymore spaces left in our 25 man squad so will players need to leave or be omitted for new ones to be registered. Is he worth a place though ? = IMO NO! Rather give our kids a shot over him. Plus I’ve always thought jack could do a job like Messi as a false 9 dropping deeper to collect the ball and running at defences pulling defenders out of position and leaving spaces for himself and others.
  21. He made quite a few (forgotten) world class saves last season... shame he will forever be remembered for the Forest game which was woeful admittedly....
  22. Been have reportedly been turned down by Wylan Cyprien attacking midfielder from Nice. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/01/03/do-report-six-goal-midfielder-turns-down-move-to-aston-villa/ Dubious source ...
  23. I’d take Butland at those figures.. Not sure who else there realistically is.. I did previously mention Walter Benitez is on a free in the summer as is Alexander Nubel ... cheeky bid
