Now started putting exclamations on the end of things and acting much more like a fan account than v neutral/fact based. @wishywashy I've just had a glance down the feed and you're both right. Shit like this... Absolutely pointless and try hard. Please give me likes. Real shame if the original person has sold it or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those quotes we have signed Zanoilo and, as I’ve said, I’m sure we will be looking at a forward player once Archer is confirmed and also a defender RB/CB. It is the cost of these new additions where I differ to a few others on here. I reckon a £10M-£15M permanent signing and then a loan with buy option will see us done. Thanks and no problems… we will just have to wait and see won’t we? Just hope we can have an enjoyable, entertaining and really successful season.

The main thing that has changed is that anyone with Twitter Blue that gets 5 million impressions (or more) per month get paid for tweeting. It is now in that persons benefit to spam anything and everything to generate impressions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Brentford fans are guessing at Cole Palmer as the player they're signing, I think it might be either Summerville or Sinisterra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think spurs or Chelsea are genuinely interested in Johnson. Edited August 24, 2023 by Made In Aston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Also I take it there is nothing solid today seeing as people are arguing over FFP of which there is loads of room to spend if the owners fund the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we include Mings, we’ve got Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Chambers, Watkins, J Ramsey (is he still classed as an U21?) Also it is not just about HG, but also about academy developed. Believe you need 4 players in the squad that were developed by us (in addition to at least 4 other HG players) . Believe if the number of academy developed players is less than 4 results in a reduction of the squad size. So really the only one we have that likely get minutes is J Ramsey (and is why I am surprised we are looking to sell Archer and Bidace). I am sure we will include a youth keeper in the squad. So with Ramsey and Keeper, we will need 2 more. T. IRO does not count I think, as he has not yet had 3 yrs in our academy. Does feel we are on a tightrope for both HG and Academy players. Someone also did point out that I think Traore counts as HG as he had 3 years at Chelsea in the right age range. Is why I could see Brennan Johnson, as I think we will need to prioritise some UK signings. One solution is clearly to bring Jack back (jokes...) (should say it is also a bit more complicated in that I think you name 2 squads, to paraphrase a senior and a junior squad. It may be we take a hit on the size of the senior squad noting we have youth that can be called up if required) Edited August 24, 2023 by andyb82 Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure… but I’d rather spend it on someone who can immediately impact and elevate the team rather than potential and someone who may be injury prone… I know very little about Ansu Fati though… and am only just beginning to find out about the bullshit spouting and drama created by the Spanish media… If you dont know much about him i can tell you that he is more highly rated than ferran by the majority of their fans and has better stats too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Marcos Alsonso makes a lot of sense to me. He has played a lot of time at CB last season. He played a lot as a wing back under Tuchel.

Only just found out about his car crash… a young woman in the same car died… How did he get away with this? A 500k settlement.. American sportsman did something similar and is still in prison I think… He’s 32 Is this more Spanish media bullshit? Only just finding out about that now too… Have to say, none of the LB links have been all that inspiring… would rather keep Digne for now and review this later… Identify a younger, more promising player with high potential and quality… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
