Oh wow. I thought they were lower. Oh well, top ten is all Daniel needs anyway. So no pressure.

It’s bollocks isn’t it. If I had info I wouldn’t share it on SC (even if I wanted the limelight) for one and secondly there’s no fucking way I’d be telling them where I got it from.
Regardless, it’s all made up on there. The only ever time I’ve seen it come off on there is when random people post something like meeting a player, for example. Then that’s scoffed at and the mods want to know where they got it from. A tell tale sight they are worried about getting rumbled.
Simple! Money talks.
Unfortunately we are mute in this department.
Oh, for sure I want a creative number 6 in an ideal world. I can't think of any realistic options, though, so I think we'll leave ourselves short there.
Locatelli? We seem to do ok from Serie A.
Fuck that, we finished 5th the season before and won a trophy the year after. We can’t keep selling the fans this underdog schtick.
Nobody gives a fuck where were finished last season. It means nothing.
If the likes of Liverpool are meant to be out of reach, what’s the point in even bothering to watch the Premier League anymore?
I really think we need to bolster that area with multiple signings, both deep and advanced.
If (more like when) Maddison is injured we are bereft, people will point to Kulusevski but I'm sorry, he is not a creative player. Attacking yes, stats wise even it might appear he is creative, but he absolutely is not. Him subbing for Maddison is like subbing in a hammer to smash your door down when you can't find a key.
He has his uses, but creative fulcrum ain't one of them.
The only other body is Bergval, and whilst he looks positive and silky, he's shown very little in terms of creative passing to supply our forwards.
Totally comfortable with the inaction. We all know the best players are much easier to sign at the very end of the transfer window

Matt Law with a morning mood check to lower expectations.
Fuck Palinha anyway, whether we sell Bissouma or not. If they think Palinha is the missing profile in our midfield then they are more hopeless than they already look.
Even our bullshit rumours are depressing
If Bissouma is blocking us signing Palhinha , how were we "supposedly" set to sign MGW?
You're not totally wrong tbf.
They were bottom. Rock bottom from MW13 to MW32
However, they went on a run from MW 30 onwards winning 7, drawing 1 and losing 1 which took them from 20th to 18th, to 17th, 16th, 15th and finally 14th in the last 2 games.
Still annoyed to this day I didn't put a few quid on them as I said numerous times their last 9 games were almost title winning form.
There will be some manager/head-of in a room pushing the grunts to generate articles for ad revenue, and tweets to get the clicks.
All of the media stuff is contrived. I don't know why anyone is paying any attention to it. Next to none of our signings are in the media until they are practically there and getting obvious leaks (Kudus for other bids, MGW because fatty is unhappy)

I don’t know about you but I’m Hank Marvin for a signing
because ìts absolute bollocks.
Sounds reasonable...works out about £5k+ per game.
To an extent but there must be a reasonable equation ( (in my opinion) between a player's quality and remaining length of contrac
I genuinely see very few quality players at present. With that capital Q. I mean.
Mbuemo and Cunha would never have got into our team of a few years ago. I don't think either gets into the Liverpool title side of last year. They are on crazy wages and cost 120 million between them. I mean fcuking hell. Gibbs-White for 60 million. What the fcuk has he done?
In some respects I am comfortable with the stare you out/lower your demands stance that we might adopt, but Levy talked of the PL aspiration, and on that singular comment, we need to at least be prepared to push the boat out for a couple of players, who satisfy that Quality reference above.

Apparently we get nothing because they waited until July to seal the deal. Levy is a master negotiator.
