All of them are on the never never, we're probably still paying for fucking Soldado.

If people are mad about Vuskovic, wait until they hear that we already have a January signing.
You beat me to it
Brennan Johnson infuriates me. a right winger at a supposed elite club who can't cross and can't beat a man.
thank god we've signed Kudus. starting Johnson in the champions league for the whole world to see would have been embarrassing
He joined us on the 1st July this year. Before that he was a Hadjuk Split player.
He scored or assisted in every other Europa game, including the semifinal and final.
In the league he scored against Man Utd, Villa, and City. He assisted against Newcastle, Chelsea and Liverpool.
I don’t think hed be an embarrassment.
Anyone moaning Vuskovic is not a new signing is someone who just wants shiny new toys. The fact is we have spent £122m on 5 new players this summer. And saying we haven’t signed 5 players is factually incorrect.
However, it is totally fine to say you think the squad is not strong enough or that the club have not invested enough in improving the first team for the upcoming season.

Palhinha rumours have died down.
Not sure on him, biggest concern is that he likes to put his foot in often going to ground with slide tackles. He has a record of collecting yellows. Will likely be suspended for a few games.
If he gets booked early in a game, does he become a redundant player for the rest of the match? If he can't do anything else aside from tackle then is it worth that gamble?
Number of times last season Bissouma and Bentancur were booked early in the first half leaving us with no resistance in midfield and free reign on the opposition to run at our 2 defenders led us to concede so many goals.

This is a pretty good and fairly concise take on Palhinha being a good option if not perfect. Good analysis not too wordy.

I'm not disputing this but......
Once we agreed a deal with hadjuk split (in summer 2023 I believe) we must have started making payments for him right? Surely you don't agree a price on a player and take him away from that club and loan him elsewhere without having payed some installments?
I get from a registration point of view he is a new player in our squad but we haven't literally just dropped the money for him now this year/summer?
Same with danso. Yes we still owe remaining payments for him but west have paid half hus transfer fee already?
All this spent x or y always give a distorted view.
I really like the look of Vuskovic but we didn’t sign him this summer . He is joining this summer and I hope he will be special .
He signed for us this summer. On the 1st July. We made the deal, with Hajduk two years ago, but his player registration transferred to us and he signed a contract this summer.
From the official site in 2023:
We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for Luka Vuskovic to join the Club in 2025 from Hajduk Split, in a deal which will run until 2030.
Exactly, so why is his transfer fee being bunged onto this summers spending? It's not correct umo
Well what do want me to say
Oh go on then , I got that fucking wrong didn’t I
How much would it cost us to secure both ederson at Atlanta and Luiz.
Think That's a strong combative double pivot for tough away days.
Probably 80 mil for both , it's what I'd try in the remainder of the window and just trust in maddison , kulu and bergvall in the more advanced role , give up on Gibbs.
Though we do have too many as it is, giving gentle Ben a new contract is perplexing

No but he almost certainly has an agent looking for a payday.
Cheap yes, butn the season before last he was the best tackling defensive midfielder in the Premiership, just what we need to support our centrebacks. An older head to help Gray and Bergval develop. Ok I,would prefer Mainoo or Baleba but I can see the reasoning.
I think we need a deep lying passer. Not just a stopper who's shielding the CBs. This isn't Ange ball anymore. Frank won't just leave those two exposed.
