Well I hope everyone that wanted financial fair play is happy. Its the most boring summer transfer window ever

If as you say all that is true about solanke and how he fits what Ange needs why didn’t we just go for him from the off. We may have got him cheaper. Now everyone knows we are desparate for a CF. Mind boggling incompetence!Darren Bent was and still is a total melt. Redknapp never fancied him tbh and he seemed to be more of a signing the club pushed for. Solanke has a profile that fully fits what the manager is publicly asking for and the scouting seems to be more specific. We saw from Solanke last season that he will put himself about against anyone as well. He's much more assertive and aggressive than Darren Bent ever was.
I don't know mate. How the fuck would I? I'm not an ITK. If I am guessing maybe B'muff have been spending the money first like we did with Kane last summer.If as you say all that is true about solanke and how he fits what Ange needs why didn’t we just go for him from the off.

I absolutely love the idea of Lankshear of going there on loan for a year under Iraola.They might get creative, like a loan etc because the dippers have a 20% sell on fee.
I can see Lanskshear or Veliz going on loan as part of the deal with a lower fee next year or something.
paris is a nice area to live is it? ive never heard anyone whos been say its a nice place and they cant wait to go back.
regardless of all that bollox. hes a young footballer thats cleaning up on the major trophies (ones that are actually respectable) why go to a dead league and halt the legacy hes building. you dont move out of the big 3 leagues if youre him. hes on course to having the greatest collection of trophies going. a load of french titles means fuck all, holds no prestige.
might as well go saudi if hes gonna go PSG.
people that i actually know and trust...sorry should of been more clear on that one.![]()
It's a nice place, and I can't wait to go back. There, now you have.
Who the fuck do you hang out with ?people that i actually know and trust...sorry should of been more clear on that one.
Solanke would be the starting #9 at Liverpool, why aren't they buying him? oh wait they already have a striker they spent 100m on.19 he scored I think. But again I don’t see anyone else going in for him to take them to next level. Even Villa, toon, spam are not after him.
Exactly spam are buying a 31 year old, that's where they are at.Villa and Toon have strikers, Spam probably can't afford the release clause.

I can't fathom disliking Paris. A person would have to be dead inside.
Are you his agent or getting paid by someone in his campHe also scored 29 goals and provided 7 assists in his last season in the Championship so it's not like he hasn't been prolific before.
He had a rough season in the prem first time around and then caught up with it again last season.
Who recommended him and why £47.5M?to be fair. solanke at least looks a player. johnson for 50m was beyond foolish, you only have to watch him for 5 minutes to see how limited he is.
Should have got him when I said at the time after WC was reasonably priced.
Lankshear is a tidy young player but has a lot to prove about being durable and strong enough to play 40-50 Prem level games a season. For sure Solanke is a better more known quantity right now.
Patience after 23years of this! Why can’t we just go out and buy quality. When we do spend big money like richi, Johnson or potentially solanke it meh. Not exactly world beaters. Now olise, eze , etc would be something.Interesting comments from ange. Mentions how 50% of the players from last year aren’t on the tour this year. Clearly wanted a huge clear out which is still ongoing. Just as important it seems to get rid of the ones he doesn’t see have a future here
Seems relaxed about transfers - from everything I am reading the club have a long term plan and only want to target a certain profile who fits exactly what he wants.
Doesn’t seem to be any panic setting in. Perhaps if they feel that certain targets aren’t achievable they will look to promote some of the youth players instead
Only panic/anger coming from the fans who have zero patience (understandably I will add)
Oh stop it pls21 goals in Serie A and sexi club like Milan, now that would be ambitious
