According to our good friend Percy, we’ve launched a £16m bid for Josh King so I suppose it makes sense to open a post.

I actually prefer King to Wilson. Whenever I’ve watched him he’s looked like he has more to his all round game than Wilson and I think he’d be a good signing at the sub £20m mark providing we bring in further competition (e.g. Watkins).
That being said, the idea does lack a little creativity doesn’t it? “Oh, Wilson didnt want to join us... who else y’got?”.
I've seen Brewster play once. In the Charity Shield (or whatever it's called now) and he came on, did nothing, then missed a penalty in the shootout.
Can anyone tell me if he's actually any good?
I wasn't crazy about the idea but for £17m that would actually be a great bit of business. WAY better than anything else we have available to us currently.
It can't hurt having a keeper who has trained with (and played 96 times internationally with some of) the players on the list below:
Messi, Dybala, Aguero, Di Maria, Higuain, Mascherano, Tevez, Rashford, Pogba, Martial etc.
We already have a striker of that ilk unfortunately.
I think Watkins will be our only striker signed this summer because we won’t want to impact big Wes too much both in terms of confidence and also to protect our investment in him. We’ve got four senior strikers battling for one spot.
This is a textbook characteristic of a low block. If the full backs drop in close to the centre backs, it forces the opposition to play wide where they are statistically less likely to cause problems.
This does however result in wingers seemingly being left with a lot of space.
I'd not seen Screwdriver's posts before but they are the usual miserable posts I'm used to seeing from some.
It also appears that he stopped posting right as we kicked on and started turning in some good performances. It's almost as if some people revel in the misery sometimes!
I’d be happy to take him if Elmo were off. Let Guilbert and Trippier duke it out for the right back position.
in fairness though, there are a few more important positions to be worrying about as we stand.
3 pages of guff followed by a comment from someone complaining about the page count in relation to credible links - ad infinitum.
Can he just sign already so we can stop this.
