    Won't fund the window though, will it?

    And the stupidity that is inherent in this so-called sport (in reality cash cow) means we'll need to spend 50, 60, 70 to replace him with anything half decent.

    It's Hleb again, isn't it? Decent but ultimately part of the latest failed project.

    Here's a simple route to guaranteeing the title next season.

    Sell those who are surplus. Merino. Trossard if he wants to go (hopefully he'll stay). Jorginho if he want to go. Send Sterling back, obviously. I mean seriously - WE ARE SENDING STERLING BACK, RIGHT? Zin - don't need him. I guess hang on to Calafiore as cover.

    Now hire the Sporting director and bring in Gyokeres. Pay whatever is required and outbid all other rivals.

    Title guaranteed because there's nobody else in this league who are much of a challenge if we can sort out that striker role. Maybe Liverpool, but their luck can't hold forever, they'll have a dip too.

    I bet if they hired me and we did this we'd win the title.

    Instead, somebody else will sign Gyokeres and they will win the title. Come back here and prove me wrong in a year's time.

    I don't think we actually need anything else, provided Odegard gets his shit together. Then again, Odegard and Gyokeres - match made in heaven.

    Means holding on to Saliba, come what may. So my 200 mill would be spent getting Gyokeres, keeping Saliba and hiring the Sporting director.

    If we want to win a title.

    Otherwise sell everyone and bring in players that can keep us up there, challenging but never winning. This is the sensible option if we want to enrich the Kroenkes.

    According to John Cross we need to sell him to fund the Window….John Cross with the greatest of respect to him is a twat

    I think again it comes down more to the wage bill than the cost of transfers.

    Wage bill spiked over the last couple of seasons. But so did revenues. A poor excuse if the football rapists that own us try it on.

    I can confirm, Cross is a twat. Is he still going? Wow, shitty job for life.

    Also reports saying that we want to give Partey a one year extension

    I’ll be honest if we are bringing in Zubimendi, I can’t really see the point

    The ironic thing is that Partey has remained fit all season and has actually been one of our better players. Maybe he’s playing for that contract?

    We want him to agree a wage reduction to stay, and I doubt he will do so.

    Depends really on what other teams can offer we probably pay more in general than most European teams (unless he goes to the Saudi pro league then the sky's the limiit)

    Andrea Bertoni targeting Lautaro Martinez apparently

    Not keen for three reasons. At 28 (27 but will be 28 by time he joins) too old (in my view), I don’t think scoring in Serie A necessarily translates to being able to score in the premier league. Also at 5ft 9 too short

    Great article on Bierth, who scored again this weekend. Love the quote on how he deals with missing chances.
