Does it involve a sanity test?
Oh for sure, if Pal is the last signing I'll be pissed!
Would love to see leao next or simons
Who knows on Palinha.
As ever lots of hot air and speculation.
We need 2 or 3 players more.
I really hope so, but knowing this club, we aren’t paying his whole wage packet just so he can be a “squad player”.
Well it might…or it might just show we are not great at choosing which players to buy assuming we want to sell them on for a profit
even Doomfunk seems level on this one
You rang m'lord?
Well, even without other signings, having Maddison, Kulu, Bergvall, Bentancur, Sarr, Donley, Biss (for now at least), plus posiibly Kudus and Gray if they get any games in any sort of CM position, would mean that I doubt Palinha will play most games. It doesn't work like that any more anyway, it's a squad game, with different solutions used to solve different problems. I expect that will be especially true for Frank, and personally I wouldn't be remotely surprised if we see Palinha regularly start one game then not even be on the bench for the next (if it's a totally different level and/or style of opponent).
I guess time will tell.
I think we still make at least three more signings:
- versatile forward to replace Richarlison/Son
- left back to challenge Udogie
- attacking midfielder
I still think Romero will leave as well, we are still being linked to players like Guehi, Zabarnyi etc which makes no sense if he’s staying.

smart for him to have his medical in Munich so our medical team don't miss anything like they did with Takai
Yeah all fine, thanks. Still not 100% down there but the doc said it can take 3 or 4 months.
I would say upgrading Richy is the highest priority, much more so than signing competition for Udogie, as I worry where the goals will come from. Spence can play LB very well, we also have Davies for emergencies (not a disaster tucked in as a 3rd CB), or VDV can play there and Danso / Vuskovic / Takai comes into the side at LCB. If we did buy then Robinson at Fulham brings the sort of competitive edge and aggression Frank will want in his team.
It seems to me that Son will be off as soon as the tour is finished. I personally think Romero looks very happy, and has been posting positive things about the team and club in recent days on social media (about the upcoming season - "we're all together etc."). I also think Frank will announce Romero as his captain before the PSG game.
Another attacking midfielder would be fantastic. It's a shame about MGW as he was perfect - a hybrid 8/10 who is creative, quick, can pass, can dribble, and is also hard working. Cannot think of anyone similar. Although the closest is probably Xavi Simons (not quite as hard working and more of a 10). The lad at Leicester looks good too. If we do sign one then surely that ends the first team hopes of Donley for another season.
Or Marinakis pull the brakes up.
Palace will probably want £90m for him or something ridiculous
So is this Pooleenya any good?....
There was going to be a sanity clause in his contract but his agent said he didn't believe in sanity clauses.
This is the guy we should be going for. Shades of mbappe.
