They have no forwards and are buying forwards , at least according to rumoursIt’s great to see Woolwich spunking money on the wrong areas of the team
I reckon we’re just driving up the price for the scum. Richarlison is more a Conte type player.Nearly 70 million for Raphinha is a lot when we already have Kulusevski in his best position. I get we need depth but that's not a depth signing, that's someone you want to come in and immediately be winning you points.
Would be an exciting transfer .. but almost half the so called war chest (before signing on fees, wages etc) blown on a depth player would be risky.

Start it up and I'll donate a tenner for each signing we makeFun little side thread:
If you were to start your own ITK-wankery account; what would you call yourself?
Given the penchant for grandiose fictitious figures Hercules, Zues etc. I thought maybe something derived from a real-world hard-hitter instead:
@GhengisKunt
In 2016 City paid 25 mil for him. Give Pep kudos, he knows how to screw his best mate.
I reckon they are so focused on us the conversation was Why did Spurs finish above us? Because their front three are immense. So we need to match that then we will finish ahead of them.So Woolwich are apparently doing:
- Viera: 35m
- Jesus: 45m
- Raphina: 65m??
145m on 3 forward players without addressing any of their midfield or defensive issues.
Surely the Raphina links are bollocks? Could be them trying to drive the price up to fuck us.
Either way I don't want us to sign him for 65m.

58 goals in six years, Harry and Son will be shitting themselves next season over the Golden Boot.
Despite his shit-show against Hungary I think he's shown that with the right players around him and a top coach developing him he has what it takes to become a real player.Surprised Guardiola wasn't put off from signing Phillips from his last England performance where he was abysmal. He had a decent Euros and is a good player but he's certainly no Fernandinho unless he improves loads.

Signing for City and Pep is good news for England imo

He'll definitely improve at City just by training with the world-class players they have there. He should have been the man Woolwich went for as he would be an improvement on Elneny, instead of focusing on Raphina.
They are very weak in centre mid and also at full back and also injury prone in these areas, they lack any kind of toughness in midfield or at the back. Jesus and Raphinia will not help with thisThey have no forwards and are buying forwards , at least according to rumours
At the risk of repeating myself they do this every summerSo Woolwich have spent 30m on Viera, 45m on Gabriel Jesus and are looking to spend 65m on Raphina without selling anyone?
Is he likely to crack their first XI? Or is he basically going to be a squad player?Despite his shit-show against Hungary I think he's shown that with the right players around him and a top coach developing him he has what it takes to become a real player.
