Summer 2017 transfer window or, waiting for Godot

[ThePreacher]

I'm not going to link for obvious reasons, but some shitty daily rag is claiming Pulis is after both Wimmer AND Vinny for £30 million.

I see the rationale behind us allowing Wimmer to leave, but who's in the pipeline to replace Vinny? One guy has been plugging the possibility of us signing Dembele (Celtic) this window but, as far as I can see, he's the only source for this rumour.

Do we have another striker on our radar, or are we reverting back to Son as our back-up striker?

I'd snatch his fucking hand off.

Challenge accepted, you fucking cabbage!!!

Papers said £2-3m

What we were trying to get Lopez down to after taking him on loan with the option.
So we bought the cheaper option not the better?
He was 19 he joined Pochettino at saints wasn't he.
Strange he never went for him instead of Lopez in the first place.

Lopez didn't settle in London.

Too many "what ifs" to even consider.

Was Lopez shit? Was he unhappy in London? Did he want game time? Were we expecting to sell Lloris or Vorm, but couldn't? Did he struggle with the language?

Very strange signing. I doubt we'll see him play.

When Poch talked about "Pushing everyone, giving them competition" I wasn't thinking Goal keeper.

Fuck off, you dirty spud peeler.

Shit, that genuinely could be seen as racist to anyone Irish.

Sexist remark

Did you assume that person's gender when you said it was sexist?

That's genderism

Well he'll be on the bench when Vorm plays in the cups, so if Vorm gets injured he could see some minutes.

Okay, in an ideal world he won't be needing to play any minutes.

Sod off, you fucking pencil

I just hope the next 2 are not Foyth and Diop.
Would be very underwhelming.

Since we're reappropriating benign terms and/or inventing new ones, let me just say that, in addition to being underwhelmed, I'd also be smeckledorfed*.

You got me with that one, to be fair.

I'd prefer Kane in goal. At least that way when we lose 6-0 I can laugh. When you're down to your third choice goal keeper it is time to weep and pray.

I think we have a winner!!

EDIT: Just saw the squarepants reference. Not cool. Not cool

Any credit you gained you instantly lost. Spursy.

A couple of signings or even one, outfield player who doesn't have court case pending, doesn't need work permit, injury free and available to be in the squad for the next match on Sunday, will do nicely.

Obviously. For Man City this amounts to £1,000,000 a season. Sure, it's pennys, and Wembley is probably less than £500k a year, but it's still another factor draining away profits.

People who think we've doubled our revenue by moving to Wembley are insane.

Well technically, if we sell twice as many tickets, we would be doubling our revenue wouldn't we?

If you are talking about gross or nett profit then thats a different thing altogether.

Not if FA take, let's say, a 30% cut. No.
