It really is getting on my tits. So much for Levy moving away from the footballing side and transfers. This has all his hallmarks. It was so obvious he would never step away despite the PR.

Yep leaning towards Gallagher over Ederson too. Mainly cos of that sexy man bun, but also: he's HG, cheaper, captain, knows the league, speaks the language, it fucks blue scum, and he seems a bit more versatile, offers more of an attacking threat, can play double pivot, #8 or high pressing #10.
I just dont want it to get in the way of our other targets. Under 35m then fine, any more just move on and make Chelsea sweat over FFP.

I think gibbs white would improve us but Hudson odoi is definitely more of the same in terms of what we have
I can't remember if we bid or not either. I do recall his price was ridiculous though something like £40m??? Brentford were certainly being awkward bastards, and probably would have drawn out the deal until the last few days, which is another reason for having a list of players to make considerations from, some can be got and integrated into the team for pre-season????
I’d absolutely bite your hand off to have Nunez and swap him for Johnson in a heartbeat.
Yes the presenter is really good. Very watchable.
Can see why Ange would want him. He'd really help fill in and cover the fullbacks defensively as an eight while still be able to get forward.
I wouldnt be surprised if he is played deeper breaking up play.
But what is more than likely if we sign him is that he'll come and get a bad injury and then come back and his effectiveness greatly reduced and we'd be left with another midfield plodder. It is the Spurs way.
Gibbs White is all fart and no poo. His numbers are terrible. Eze is the one if we want HG to challenge Maddison. However I expect we could pick up a cultured 10 from the continent a lot cheaper than both who would be suitable for what we need to come in for Maddison. Lo Celso is close but with his obvious limitiations.
Fair enough. Each to their own. Nunez is toast at Liverpool though. Unless Slot decides that a player who fell out with Klopp is the perfect way to stamp his new found authority... There is a 0.01% chance any other prem club wants to help Liverpool out of that hole as well.

Can't play those two together. If we think our midfield is porous now it would be awful with those two in it....even with a monster DM.
We play Maddison and Son on the same side now. Son is all in for effort pressing but in our 3rd, he's never been a defender.
It is quite amusing that we are seemingly after a creative midfielder and winger from one prem club, who are both homegrown and its not Eze and Olise but the pound shop version from a skint club.
Ok, the Forest 2 will probably set us back around £75m and the Palace 2 £130m but sometimes you do get what you pay for. Eze and Olise would transform us, the Forest 2 would be more squad filler. Its a false economy.

not really a proper DM. but I get that Ange doesn't want traditional rigid positional based players so in that respect he's probably a good buy over a Gallagher.
cost a whole lot of money right now though, and probably some giant clubs interested
Son doesnt play in midfield and Eze isnt a winger. Why the fuck do people keep thinking he is?
He has been playing like a wide 10 for Glasner. he can definitely play LW in our system, especially if it was him and Maddison rotating
Ederson is like Gallagher in that he's definitely not a 6 but can win duels and get you the ball back.
I think we are wasting our time discussing it though. I'd guess Gallagher will be the first one through the door when the window opens. I've made peace with it and even starting to see why it might be a good idea.
If they decide the extra 15m is worth it for Ederson then fair play to that as well. I think both give us more than Hojberg or Lo Celso
I really don’t see Eze as the guy who’s going to get to the end-line and fizz in a low cross into the box. That’s a must have for an Ange winger.
It's a conundrum for sure. I don't actually see how we sign a player like Eze or MGW to cover/compete with Maddison when we have so much other business to do.
Maybe they see Gallagher as able to play like a pressing 8/10 when Maddison is out but with 2 competitions there is no way we are expecting Maddison to play every game and we saw what happened last season when he was out. Bergvall maybe is cover for Maddison but he's very young to lean on like that.
Devine could be a darkhorse to stick around and earn a chance in pre-season.
yea exactly. sometimes the assist of the assist was the actual work that created the goal.
