There's more chance of us signing the entire Ayew family than Top selling up this year.

Fortunately it's not in transfer talk so I don't care But almost certainly complete rubbish.

God no. Because then if he isn't revealed today we have a whole new wave of hysteria.

Or, yknow, we're doing a deal with him and his agent having agreed terms with Leverkusen but he's a 20 year old kid and it's a big decision, he needs a couple of days? ****ing hell people.

Tbf a source tier list is something a lot of football social media does. It's not an original idea. FosseHub might have had theirs before us, the LCFC subreddit has had one a while. It wouldn't surprise me if FosseHub is one of you lot though tbf.

To clarify, FosseHub don't make anything up. They're quoting a source that they referenced in their tweet. They aren't passing this information off as their own and they aren't passing any judgement or commenting on the validity of the source.

I can actually imagine there being some truth in this tbf. We went through it with Yunus last year didn't we. If I were Panathinaikos (or Ajax selling Bergwijn for that matter) I'd want to get EL qualifying dealt with first. It's only tomorrow night. Won't stop us buying over the weekend and at this rate even if we signed him he was never gonna play against Spurs anyway.

Real talk for a second. When people stop throwing unnecessary and, to be quite honest, excessive abuse at our own players without justification based on what's essentially trend then I'll stop defending them. It's not just Daka. He's not my favourite player. I wouldn't describe Patson Daka as even in my top five current city players. But I've been through this with Iheanacho, with Maddison, with a number of other players that just get needlessly turned in to punch bags to a degree that goes well beyond reasonable criticism or light banter. I'd love to be able to come in to these threads and not see them full of people making juvenile digs at not just one of our own players but one that contributed pretty ****ing well last season, a season where we won the league.

Szmodics scored a goal every 0.62 goals last season. Daka every 0.58. The difference was pretty negligible, Szmodics just got more minutes. Daka's assists per game were much much better too. If Daka had played the same number of minutes as Szmodics and continued scoring at the same rate he'd have scored 25 goals last season.

Honestly what I find weird are people that get oddly offended and wound up by him? I said the other day, I agree he can be annoying and the spam gets a bit much. But when he actually says a transfer is happening, the vast majority of the time it is happening and you don't get that level of accuracy with many other sources. Just don't get why it upsets grown adults that much. You can always just ignore his spam.

I don't think anyone denies or doubts we'd agreed terms with and for Sensi? He either failed a medical or we pulled the plug when we got wind of the second impending charge, depending on what you believe. Either way the deal was almost done. Don't think Fab was wrong about that.

True but also when he thinks something is cooling he backs off pretty quickly and doesn't tend to keep doubling down. You can take it as a "chill out, it's happening, these things always take a day or two longer than people want."

Tbf Bouba mun we also have an intention for you to leave.

Higher than Alan Nixon. Below Sean.

I've only just noticed Bournemouth's new sponsor. Is it serious Blowjob Heil Hitler.

At this point I'm pretty sure Tommy Fresh is Anderson Perry.

He'd be useless for us. Puel tried the same thing Cooper is currently doing and Chilwell was terrible. We need a technical, creative player to play in that position. Ironically, one of the first players we were linked to last year was a left back of exactly this type, before everyone realised Enzo didn't play typical full backs. Ryan Giles. Turns out he wasn't good enough for the Prem anyway but that's the profile we'd want. Hence people's obsession with Doughty. Chilwell is a great athlete but he's not much better a technician than VK to be quite honest.

Yeah unfortunately you just have to take the bad with the good. He's very credible and very accurate but unfortunately his business model relies on engagement and quantity so it's in his interest to make about a thousand tweets about the same transfer. If I could be bothered being this pedantic, I'd actually make a distinction in the tier list between Fab saying we've actually bid and Fab just saying we're interested. I 100% believe we're bidding for Hlozek if that's what he says. But I also think he's guilty of chucking in the usual Leicester, Everton and West Ham "are interested" just to bait engagement because we're big enough clubs in terms of social media profile and it's vaguely believable. I bet we're not really interested in most of these players and I don't consider him S tier in those sorts of rumours.

****ing hell @AKCJ you're going to a lot of effort for this bit.

We should get the police to do a welfare check on @Tommy Fresh

We're gonna go full forest aren't we. Conclude that Cooper kept them up because they signed 50 players in a week.

The speed we move my dude we probably still won't have signed any of these three by the end of the week.

Starting to think Zaha stole someone's bird

I expect our plan is to sign Hlozek and a 9 yeah. We've had a look at Toure from Atalanta as well who is obviously similar stature to Ioannidis. It looks like we're after a big unit to play up top.

Hlozek really isn't a 9.
