I like that the IP has said we are still hunting 3/4 more players on tip of this because I think that's about right. This. LB. Winger. CM. Striker.

I honestly couldn't give a toss if we are helping develop Brightons players. All that matters is improving our team, right now. This season and from the little I've seen of him, I think he would be our best starting #10 at this current time. I like #10's who also work hard as well as adding creativity and he definately appears to do that.

I would have liked him here, he's a good player but seeing that makes not getting him easier to swallow. He is NOT a £30m player. He just isn't. Yes, one goal/assist every two games over 122 is impressive but I also don't think it translates well to a team who won't have nearly as much possession and are playing against teams much better than them. As his 3 assists and 0 goals in 12 UCL games demonstrates.

Just to add some context to those 60 league appearances... it's 2465 minutes. That's a total of 27 full games. Over 3 seasons. He got the same amount of PL game time for Spurs that Dennis Praet got for us.

He's a weird one. Never got a proper run at it uo here. Never looked happy. I don't know if he just didn't settle but something is off. Would be a risk that I would have taken last year but not this.

Selling a player for €5m then having another club you own pay much much more for that same player in the same window isn't what I'd call "making too much sense."

All their surnames begin with a music note so someone who's name starts with a G or a E.

The claim that we only have around £20m left is clearly nonsense. We know that we were willing to spend about that on Soule so we are to believe that he was to be our only other signing?

Close the transfer section if that's the case.

He's 26

Can you repeat the question

A devastatingo lossio to the teamio but ifo he wantso to playo in Italia then who are weo to standio in his wayo. Job done.

Personally, I'm starting to think that the price of Asprilla is starting to get to the level where we are thinking that we can get Doak and Carvalho instead. I think I'd probably prefer this. Yes Asprilla would be preferable to Doak at RW but Carvalho would be preferable to Asprilla as a 10 and we have Fatawu on the right anyway so Doak would be back up and he looks more than capable for that.

...That's not shorter.

I think Ndidi would benefit in the 6 role from having a deep lying playmaker alongside him who can also do the defensive side like this lad or Winks.

A left back is FAR more important than a right IMO. If you look at how Cooper has set us up. He likes to have one FB bomb forward and play high whilst the other tucks in and plays as a 3. If he was to do this on the right, we have Ricardo to bomb forward. Or if he wants that on the left, JJ could play as the RB who tucks in. We have the option to do either on that side but we don't have those options on the left. I don't think VK is the right player to bomb forward and I don't think he wants to be the player who tucks in, that was his problem last year when Enzo wanted him to do it and Thomas can't do either. So really, we have to trust VK can improve his attacking threat in that role and sign a LB who is more defensive or convince him to play the LB/LCB role and sign a LWB. I don't think it would be as big a deal if we have a left footed CB but we don't.

I think they bought him for around that. I'd imagine that an obligation would be closer to 20 but dependent on us staying up.

I'm just wondering why this dude is wearing a bodycam...

You would think so. In my head I had that we need a ST, 10, 6, winger and a LB but I can't help but suspect we would end up signing a ST who can maybe play wide, a winger who can play at 10 and a CM and that's it... the Leicester way.

Wonder if this would be instead of Asprilla or in addition to....

It's interesting that these rioters haven't been called what they are. Terrorists. Pure and simple.

Had a good euros too.

If we are looking for a #10/RW hybrid and are as strapped for cash as it seems, what about Yusuf Yazici? Free transfer, in his prime, left footed 10 who can and has played wide right.... Would prob need to battle Milan for him but they seem hesitant.

Market value means very little. The only value that means anything is what that player is worth to the selling club. Jaimie Vardy is a great example, but not in the context that's already been said. JV is 37, barely trains to manage his body and has a year left on his contract. What would his market value be? Few hundred grand? Million, tops? Yet, would any of you sell him for that? No. He is one of our greatest ever players, a team leader, has tons of experience, a great mentality and still a proven goalscorer.Not to mention out best current striker. In short, he is worth much more to us than A, his market value and B, what anyone would realistically pay for him.

Cooper won't be kept for a championship campaign. If we are relegated and we don't sack Cooper, it's as good as the board admitting that the fault is on them. Do our board seem like the types to accept responsibility?
