This may be unpopular but if he's still willing to sign a contract, I'd offer him one immediately. No fucking about though, tell him he needs to sign it within the next 1-2 days or he's gone.

25kpw.... Extra training.... Additional permanent tea-duty.
...And a fuck tonne of dead-ball practice.
Ooooh, now I better understand your tagline.
Is that like fish wrapped in a sweet filo dough? Sound fusionistically interesting.

......You mean Eriksen or 'Posh Seats?
Sorry, as i said I am under the weather and my fucking head is screaming. MF is the answer and not just CM...but a real CM/MF can man any position and handle any remit. I wanted 6 MFers in the summer and I still want like 4 now. Included in that is a player more comfortable as holding or defensively minded but with actual ability and not some pinballing clogger.
The rest can be 6/8s, 8s, or 8/10 depending upon intended tactics. What I don't want is another Christian Eriksen/Bruno Fernandes type half-a-player. We missed out on the best option available there to a smarter and better run club. I know that I've just sounded the happy clapper klaxon with that criticism but it's true.
What more did you want want Levy to do? By the sound of it that transfer collapsed at the last hurdle... the image rights. Which Levy rightfully told those cunts to fuck off. Was Levy supposed to cough up an extra 50 million because some gypsy had Dybala scribble his name on a napkin when he was 16? Nah

Oh, that Florentino is mustard. And he's a defensive midfielder. He has annoyingly long legs and I expect he comes with a hefty price tag.
The Sun is notorious for it's regularity in being correct and accurate; you're right this is probably nailed on.
Isn't it weird that a team with glaring deficiencies is focused on loan signings from our manager's manager in positions of recently identified 'need'. My point was about a signalling of a pump and dump (which
Gatsby
mentioned this morning and I PM'd
Five
about as well) situation by our leader. And possibly why we had a Sammy-summer and why he went big with big (can't miss?) names in the summer. And why we've gone 5 seasons without a true backup striker. Or why didn't we get any loans in last Jan considering the real injury situation and Sonny off with Korea. Etc etc etc. It all feels weird and not illogical with either interpretation (the one you thought I was making or the one I was actually making) of the situation. I could argue that these current positions are not of a particularly pressing need and
bus-conductor
would go to the mat arguing that replacing Sissoko is not ever needed in relation to a longer term plan (or any plan in BCs case). You could argue risk risk risk but I would counter that concern with the point that these two loans (1 done now) we are hearing about won't really alter our current course anyway considering the bigger and longer term problems that predate these 2 current injuries. This is quite the accusatory statement AF and I say that charitably. You should have asked for clarification if you were not sure or accept a man at his word. Seems I misunderstood your point at the weekend and I took it on the chin, graciously.
My point was about the bigger picture of glaring deficiencies in the team being neglected relative to how and why things are being addressed now. It's was about the reactive nature and not the proactive nature. You could say Mou wants them filled but it would be a hard sell that Mou wants a 20yo benchwarming MF and a 28yo striker with no prem experience to fill these based on his history...but I can't know that of course. I can only surmise.
It all feels a bit weird, not illogical. If it's a pump and dump then it ALL makes sense. If it's not then these two loan deals still make sense, 2 down 2 in, but would still be weird signings. So at no point would the logic of the moves ever come into consideration. I have a feeling that FSG and Klopp would have handled it differently.
My head's killing me but apparently I still got it. Come get some

It's bacalhau not bacala
However you spell it, as long as it's not another poxy loan deal, I'm in.
