The Fish

ASM, Willock and Joelinton will benefit most from Bruno, I reckon. First two because they'll have balls to run onto that don't need them to challenge in the air or collect it by the corner flag. Joe because there'll be someone in the centre he can exchange passes and Kibe recipes with.

I miss Wolfy.

Guimaraes will change the way we attack mate. The range, variety and quality of passes from him will allow players like ASM, Fraser, Wilson, Willock, and even big Joe to play further up the pitch and in greater space. His ability to control the attack under pressure will be vital. Jonjo drops deep to enjoy the space he needs to ping a 60yd ball. Bruno can glide past a couple of players to open up space for himself in the middle. I'm not hugely worried about chance creation now, still have concerns about someone getting on the end of the them. Wood is a battering ram, but Guimaraes is more about through balls and finding runners. We have options now through. Deliveries from Trippier, Fraser and maybe Targett (I'm not sure about him) can be gobbled up by Wood. Through balls can be gambled on by ASM, Almiron, Fraser, Willock and Wilson when he returns.

Cheaper than Joelinton?

Tell you what, if we can get a Burn, Bakker, and a striker, this has been an excellent window. If it's just (just) Trippier, Wood and Guimaraes then it's still a good one.

Married, bought a house in Cheshire (Dahhhhling), have a little'un, changed jobs a few times, relocated hair from head to chin.

It's what he would have wanted.

I'd be very happy with that window. Burn, Bakker and Trippier addresses our weak back line and Bruno elevates our midfield massively, Wood is decent squad filler. for what it's worth, I don't think we're done signing strikers, so if we were to get all of them, plus Zapata, or Nunez, I'd be throwing my cock all over the place.

this will now never not be funny.

How'd you get their set list?

Aye, we really need to get a point where we understand that spending £15m on a defender from another PL side is nowt.

Why would it be?

If I had wings, I could fly to the moon.

SD signs all over Pride Park, buy foreign bargains & sell 'em for profit, get Derby into the top flight, sell for a profit.

Groin, it's been bothering him for some time. Might be back for Everton game (08/02) Well, apparently, I know nothing.

Honestly? I did one of those outloud chuckle-shake-head-"Jesus Christ"-s

Was wondering what looked odd about that photo, then realised this is pre- geet big Chinese gateway. When did that go up then?

This is all ridiculous.

Apparently they've got form; Arsenal have £29m offer for Alexandre Lacazette rejected by Lyon | Arsenal | The Guardian
