Makes little sense to me, why not spend big money on more exciting players? I guess they (Ronaldo's Al-Nassr) really want to win the title this coming season. Last season in second place they conceded 42 goals compared to only 23 from the winners (Mitrovic FC). The lost by 14 points and Mitrovic FC were undefeated.

Love Ederson's calmness and distribution. Even this crazy moment

 

His understudy Ortega is arguably a better shot stopper with decent if not better distribution. He is equally calm

lol fair point. he does have his moments. plenty of them to be fair.

 

on a side note, heh heh, how was Fraser not sent off for that blatant assault on our keeper?

 

if nothing else he provides plenty of "exciting" moments.

 

I think general opinion is that we would be fine with Ortega.

Flamingo are after Pacqueta.

 

Weird one as well. Im assuming this lifetime ban hanging over him has something to do with it.

He's a superb keeper just coming into his prime, surely he has at least 3 years left here before he even thinks about going there.

Rumours that he might be looking at jail time. And Brazil is a non extradition country...

Sports Bild in Germany are reporting that we along with Liverpool, Villa and the top German teams are interested in Brajan Gruda, a 20 year old right winger, who according to them is one of the top emerging talents in Germany. The fee is said to be around 42 million. The only clear advantage we have over Liverpool, Bayern is that he wants plenty of minutes in the first 11. Villa, Leipzig, and perhaps Leverkusen depending on who they sell this summer, will obviously be able to offer both Europe and minutes.

I can’t see West Ham letting him go. Surely they’d be better keeping his registration and suing him if things go to shit.

If we are considering moving on Trippier, Almiron and Wilson to Saudi then we have a bit of work to do in the window. I'd add Targett to that list too. 
 

RW, CF, RCB surely top of the list 

 

[wykikitoon 22683]

Fuck me do we need a CB!

a midfielder too now that anderson is gone and miley is injured

Tonali back 3 games into the season I think 

[Kid Dynamite 7594]

Trippier's house just gone up for sale apparently. Seems like an open secret his wife's left him and he's off to Saudi

Bah

 

I will always Trippier.

[Andrew 5124]

 

 

ill take that

I'd say that's a reasonable fee given his injury record and being in the final year of his contract. Whether he's fully over doing his cruciate from a few years back would be for the medical staff to decide if we actually got that far with a transfer for him.

He seems better cutting in from left (like Gordon and Barnes) from what I’ve seen of him. Which to be fair is very limited.

He looked the only capable one against Switzerland. Very direct, technically sound and comes across as a bit of a mad bastard. I think the fans would take to him instantly.

He was RW during the Euro final and that's all I really have seen of him.

He starts on the RW for Italy and looks pretty comfortable there

The commentator in the last game said he normally plays from the left. I genuinely wouldn’t know.

 

I agree though, he did look dangerous there but I reckon Eddie must be after a leftie as we have no-one to cut in when Miggy gets the bullet.

He is, and has spent more of his career starting there compared to anywhere else
