Rodrygo is about as likely to sign as Groucho, Chico and Harpo.

Good. Not what we need most. Let cnut club have him, as their reason for being seems to be buying players.
Look I like Solanke, I'm glad he's here but fucking hell. Solanke didn't contribute to Chelsea winning the title, he didn't start a single PL game for them so just behave.
Anyone who believes a 17th place PL club can sign elite front men is something I would need explaining to me!
My biggest struggle is the definition of what we are trying to become.
What is our policy under Frank? Who are our transfer targets, as in age bracket and type of player - quality over character. Fiery and explosive, or calm?
It's incomprehensible and surely would be targets would like some kind of club fingerprint.

Forgetting to finish what you started?
Being easily distracted?
Finishing sentences?
Particularly if they’re 19/20….a 17/18 year old might at least become ClubTrained in 3 years time.
So you’re saying we have a chance with Zeppo. He was the dull one but I’ll take it right now
That’s a great sentiment and all that but who are we signing that gets us closer to Liverpool?
Swap our places with Chelsea or Liverpool, you really think they wouldn’t just pay the wages, transfers and agents fees to get the very best players on the Market?
I promise you they would
We have CL football to offer. If we paid the wages, not one solitary player would give half a fuck where we finished last year
Would have been nice to have got a few recruits through the door in time for the PSG match. You know, galvanize the side with fresh blood. Instead it could be a bloodbath.
agree, as if 17th place is the standard finish for the club. united finished 15th and won nothing and are able to attract top talent
Liverpool are in a different stratosphere for now.
I want to know who we are signing but also what Frank will/can do that moves us back into the discussion.
Rodrygo doesn't do that in my opinion, because he is luxury, and we need to establish some durability before we start considering anything else.
Right now I think we are 2/3 players short of a squad that realistically can challenge for those 4th to 7th place positions.
Same as pricks still using the word 'Spursy'.
Cup in the bag. Fuck off......
You sound like Adrian Durham.
I'm not worried
Lange moves in the shadows

There is no signing that takes us closer to them IMO. Not on a budget that isn’t limitless.
I think Jack Pitt-Brooke said it best on VFTL the other day - we have to get back up to making sure we’re better than Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford this season, before thinking about Liverpool, City and the Scum.
Build a solid foundation, become a competitive team week on week, show that Frank is developing young players into PL stars, and then maybe next year some of the hottest players on the market may be interested in coming here even if they are not getting paid 200k plus per week.
I just don’t think there’s any way to short cut it without a nation state bank rolling us.
Haha there is so much hedge your bets and covering all options on that post. It’s crazy how obvious it is but people lap it up.Midweek funnies - WLB on SC
Hey, sorry I haven’t been able to get on the site the past few days. I’ve been trying, so if I disappear again, it’s not for lack of effort!
Since Sunday, Lange has really been stepping things up on Simons. We’d actually made progress there before the MGW deal came into play, but once that surfaced, we shelved it to focus on Morgan.
Now that we’ve moved on from that, we’ve shifted our focus back to Xavi. Chelsea are pushing hard for him too, and Winstanley is aware of our approach. Lange is on standby to close the deal as soon as we get the green light from the player.
Xavi’s club have told him they believe Tottenham would be the better move for his development, and we’re ready to match an acceptable offer. That’s part of what’s currently slowing Chelsea down on their end.
Bayern have also re-submitted an offer to the player , but Xavi’s priority is still a move to the Premier League. Chelsea are still front runners but the player hasn’t closed the door on us
No they won't. They'll just offer a 25-year contract.
