Or the fact he's looked like total shit since the original rumour.

The muddy waters did indeed become clear later.

We were previously linked to fellow Georgian Chakvetadze who plays attacking mid and left wing. Georgians FTW!

Right, got you now.

None of that makes any sense. Have you edited out something by mistake?

We've had very decent loan players since. Youri, Lookman, Fatawu, Yunus, Buonanotte. We've just not made best use of some of them.

I know you've just thrown Poku in for examples sake, but he's a right winger, so not like for like. Price wise makes a lot of sense obviously. I suppose a lot depends on available options and the fee we got. The ship has sailed on the likes of Rowe and Sainz (deal still not done though) of Norwich, who would be upgrades imo. Could probably talk to Villa about a Louie Barry loan to buy. Although he's still injured and buying from the Premier League sides isn't usually great value. Stephy is decent. So a decent sum would be required. Not really sure who is going to pay enough to make it happen. Also worth noting he probably wouldn't be immediately replaced, with the money generated maybe going on refreshing that midfield of ours. We've still got Ayew, BDR and Kasey who can play there, and even though that's underwhelming, it's still gonna be depth.

Dyche will wait for a firefighting opportunity when someone shits themselves in the Prem by Christmas.

No, but it's puts us in the frame for the job. I've got an interview this week...

When compared to Cooper, they're all good.

He said "good" free agents to be fair.

I think he will be. I think we might want more than prospective buyers are willing to pay. A bit like Bilal. Although we could be lowballed for Mads and still make a profit, I don't think we will.

To be honest I don't think it'd be right on inflict him on anybody else. Maybe we just take him to court and sue him for impersonating a footballer.

We've got enough rightbacks and Aluko to develop.

I would love that for him if he wanted it.

He doesn't play the same position. They might be keen on BEK but he's not replacing Mbuemo.

If he did he should have told him to fxxk off and then hung up.

Bournemouth will be rolling in money and need a Kepa replacement. Kepa is going to Arsenal after finishing his loan from Chelsea, Huijsen went Real. Kerkez to Liverpool. Zabarnyi being linked to PSG. Big defensive shakeup there.

Chelsea look like getting Maignan in before the club world cup.

Quite a lot of keepers released there. Good if we lack imagination, which we do.

I don't think there's any circumstance where we need Oxlade Chamberlain. We have a host of young exciting forwards who we want to play. He just becomes an obstacle for them or, just as likely, a regular with the physio team. If you get an older player for their experience the first thing you want assurances on is the likelihood of them staying fit. If we wanted him, I'd rather as an 8, but he's not an 8 really is he? He did it a bit at Liverpool because he became a utility player because he either wasn't good enough or wasn't fit enough to be relied on. If there was some guarantee he could stay fit, that might be a good option if there's outgoings. But there is no guarantee so you can only go on his history which is chequered at best.

We absolutely do not need an LB for the championship unless we have serious outgoings. If we're promoted, fine, I agree, but there's more pressing areas than LB for the coming season unless we can luck a shit ton of departures. We also don't know what the manager, whoever they may be, will want to play. Traditional fullbacks, wingbacks, inverting fullbacks. Who knows? But right now we've got too many bodies in that position to be signing any more.

Mvogo and Gunn as keepers. Darling and/or Mbemba at CB. We don't need a leftback currently. Everyone of our current fullbacks can and has played at LB for us at some point. We've got a lot of bodies at midfield too so need to ship out before we know what we'd need. Striker, you've got MPH's favourite Agyemang with 6 months left on his current contract. Former Ric Flair favourite Luka Jovic will be/is free. Always liked Muniz at Fulham. Has a year left. Isn't first choice. Still only 24. Probably still wouldn't be value though. Reckon the loan market for a striker. We'll probably talk to Chelsea about the likes of Fofana, Broja, Guiu and maybe, with a bit of luck George.

We live in an age of instant gratification, 24 hour news channels and short attention spans. Patience is a rare commodity.
