It’s just brilliant tbh, such a fucking absurd opinion presented like he’s being rational about it. He likely also thinks they will get promotion the thick cunt.

Exile is still jealous as fuck.

Agreed, if Paqueta is available we have to go for him. It has the two fold effect of adding a brilliant player and making Bruno even happier. We could improve the front line by getting a free like Belotti, or a loan, and then someone like Cornet for the wing. Up front is obviously lacking but our midfield also generates very little and is poor at keeping the ball. Shelvey, Willock, and Longstaff aren’t the level we will require going forward. We could get Paqueta now and it’s likely Diaby will still be at Leverkusen next summer for a similar price, meanwhile Paqueta may leave this window and if not it’s likely he has a really good World Cup with Brazil getting very far or possibly winning it meaning a big increase in interest in him.

He’s even more wound up after calling in. The bloke seems like a complete fruit loop.

Asensio is a quality player, my only reservation about signing him would be that he’s a 3 time league and CL winner how motivated would he be for us? Not saying he wouldn’t work hard and be brilliant but it’s always a slight question mark when a player that’s won so much so young is making a step down. Saying all that he’s fucking brilliant to watch.

They’ll be waiting a while , Barca don’t have any fucking money - they apparently still owe De Jong €17m in wages. Xavis just going around trying to tap everyone up and then they can’t buy anyone . No doubt we will hear that tedious La Liga president come out whinging about the price of players or something soon.

Back at the training ground for aaaalllll the content of people driving past in nice cars. Hardest working man on YouTube

It’s a fucking daft one to bleat on about as well, it would take a fucking absurd amount to get Harrison as they’ve already sold Phillips and look set to sell Raphinha.

Are we sure that’s their first team? Looks like a local non-league side heading on a stag do tbh.

That’s exactly what I would say if I was them in this type of negotiation. It’s Leverkusen btw, I think if it was PSG we’d be fucked but £40m+ is a lot of money for a player even for a CL side - we just beat the Italian champions to a player because they couldn’t match our bid. I’m of course just guessing on it but it’s similar to what we saw with Botman imo, we started getting a lot of links to other CB targets and then agreed a fee with Lille. Maybe Leverkusen hold firm this time but I think what we’ve heard from both sides is possibly all part of negotiations. I agree on Gordon, if they were wanting £40m for him it’s not far off the ask for Diaby who is a far better player. Admittedly I don’t rate Gordon as much more than a mid table PL player so maybe others see them as closer talents, but one hit double figure goals and assists, the other put up Ryan Fraser numbers.

Might be something in your point tbf, we’ve clearly turned attention to Diaby and have been linked to Olise and Gordon this week. Think it’s showing we have other options.

They ayyyuht him.

I posted in the mackem thread, but it’s worth another post as they’re hilariously predictable

It’s brilliant that we are really starting to see the transfer policy, which seems to be sign all of the best up and coming talents in Europe .

I don’t get how they don’t see this. Even if I tried to be neutral about it in any way they don’t come across well in it, there’s even an episode where they set about the camera man when they lose. The lads I know over here that have seen it ask me questions like are they all like that? And think it’s hilarious, I let them know it’s made by their own fan base so it’s trying it’s best to show them in a good light . I suppose it has helped some people know who the fuck they are as people haven’t heard of them.

Mint, why be an actual competitive football club when you can just try and get fans of way better teams to pity you? Don’t let it happy organically neither, just try your best to force some fake friendship. Hope it works out for them, then in a couple of seasons when we’re in Europe we can absolute fucking hammer the entire SAFC friendship club of Feyenoord and Bilbao. “Ahhh just eyyyut the maggie bastids wah neeyd new friends who can beeeyut thahhm”.

Wor Adam is already seeking vengeance

Everton being Everton. So they want to spend a load of money they barely have, why not spend it on a central striker - doesn’t matter that the best player you have on your books is also a central striker, planning schmanning. They also previously turned down Chelsea’s offer of money + Broja for Richarlison, so I can’t see Chelsea jumping at this one (nor the player).
