nah he's injury isn't as bad as first feared and they're saying 6 weeks.
I agree with what you're saying in that I don't think we can get that one over the line and it's a waste of time BUT they can afford to lose a CM.

Gallagher is better than Skipp. Easily and HG. Johnson is arguably a better prospect than Son and Kulu and Richarlison as he seems to be able to play across the front 3, is younger, faster and scored as many/more goals for a poor team.
Caiceido can play in midfield can't he?
It got 3 agrees
Just an opportunistic signing after our multiple years pursuit of Ansu Fati has collapsed.
We were using him to try to con Forest into reducing their price. Usual Levy/Paratici bullshit.
I really don't see why we wouldn't be making a serious offer for a loan bid for him. Johnson looks fairly good tbf but seems to lack technical skills necessary at the moment for a club desiring top 4. He has potential to be a world beater, in the championship for sure.
Serious 1v1 dribbling skills
Looking forward to the cunt off when you say this again with a couple of hours left
Johnson is a solid player for a team with ambitions to qualify for europa league and sometimes champions league at a push.
He hasn't demonstrated that he's a superstar at Nottingham forest like grealish has done at villa or kante/mahrez did at Leicester.
Buy 'decent' and expect 'decent' outcomes.
For adult midfielders they have him, Enzo, and Gallagher. They also have Lavia and Ugo, but I don't know how much they're planning to rely on them.
Apart from Madueke ( the other 3, Kendry Páez, Ângelo Gabriel & Omari Hutchinson are out on loan), Chelski got no other WR, so I would presume that will be Palmer's main position.
He's 22 and playing for a horrible team, and has still shown more end product than Grealish does for City.
Levy really needs to stop fucking around with sending offers via second class post
Ha ha I ain't mad enuff to pick a fight with you, my manDisagree ey?Jaynola YOU WANT SOME
Nah I just don't think it's a 6.5 window, even excluding the outs. Yeah Mads for 40 mil is very good business, especially if he stays injury-free all season...but who's he gonna pass to now Kane is gone? We finally get a lockpicker but sell our superstar CF?! Spurs a la Daniel eh.
As for Gugli and VdV, jury's still very much out. If Vic turns out to be shite, I'm not that bothered as it's only 17 mil...and seems we'll have Hugo to call on for another year. But 34m for VdV, I gotta say that's a good 10-15 mil more than I'd have liked to pay for a very inexperienced, raw kid. But good luck to them both, hope they smash it.
Now if we factor in the outs, the deadwood that we've not shifted (and likely won't) and the gaping holes we've still not filled (CB, CAM cover, Winger, CF)...considering it's bloody Aug 30, well...that's a 3 or 4 outta 10 window in my books.
Of course anyone who doesn't want owners who back slavery, misogyny, murder and homophobia must be racist.
It's the only possible explanation cos, you know, trophies innit.

I may be in a different universe but I don’t think this window has been a 1/10. We’ve bought a starting keeper, CB and AM. All three of them quality buys and good value. We’ve also reintroduced some outcast/loan players in a LB and two CMs. That’s 6 of our starting 11 being completely different from last year. I’m also really excited to get Bentacur and Gil back because I think they’ll be starters again but Sar and Kulu could challenge them for places which is great. Do we need a new starting striker, backup midfielder and backup centre back - yes, but I don’t know if it’s been as bad as people have been making out.
I’m also not up for spending money for the sake of it. Some of the transfer we’ve been linked with the last few weeks have been extremely underwhelming. I’d rather save 30-40m this window and then add another 30-40m in the next to get a really quality striker rather than blow some of it on a bench warmer.
You're reading too many conspiracy theories.
