Greg O’Keefe in a Q&A in The Athletic confirmed Silva’s determination to pursue Zouma as long as possible and his refusal to accept any CB options without PL experience led to the late Smalling/Rojos flirtation tallying with something I was told and posted yesterday. It would suggest that Silva...

I got a text this morning saying we are looking at two free agent CBs as stop-gap signings (one pretty famous) but I would not bet on Brands doing it unless it is a very favourable deal in terms of signing on fee & wages. Chelsea are hopeful of getting their transfer ban lifted for January and I...

Gibson is a CB. Gordon is a LB.

19 of his 80 professional club games (starts and subs) he played predominantly left wing per detailed stats on transfermarkt so it is definitely true he is a CF but he does have some experience wide.

Rojo is 100% Marco. He wanted him not Zouma, who was Brands’ preferred guy, last year. United’s reluctance to sell meant we got Brands’ choice last year. Chelsea’s reluctance to sell means it will likely be Silva’s this.

We nearly signed Rojo last year. Zouma loan only happened because United pulled the plug. Silva is a big fan. Quick, left footed, strong but careless/reckless. If he comes make no mistake the manager is a fan even if we fans are not.

Africa is not a nation

just as a hypothetical but if we strike out on Zaha and on a CB how would people feel about the new season?

So many on here who can judge a player and do the job better than Brands. So much untapped potential wasted trying to correct those of us who make the mistake of wasting our time looking at data and trying to understand what our DoF and manager might see in players linked when the GOT Goodison...

German press said €18m potentially rising to €25m. This is where the £16m comes from I think.

If we could get Doucoure (and it will take about £50m I suspect) it helps continue the clear attempt to create tactical options and variations within multiple formations 433/4231/442. At the moment we are tactically inflexible. Selling Gana and buying Delph, Gbamin improves that a bit (though...

We’ve had no takers for Tosun & Niasse. If we could somehow shift them by the deadline we would definitely ok at a more experienced loan or free transfer to help the younger guys but we cannot carry the wage without offloading. We need to demand far more of Bernard as well as DCL. He cannot keep...

Exactly TT. By 2 September (23rd August for Italy) we need to shift Bolasie, Niasse, Mirallas, Martina, Besic, Onyekuru all of whom were out on loan last season. Tosun, McCarthy, Schneiderlin might also be surplus. If we cannot move some of them before PL/Championship window shuts we narrow the...

I do not ‘know’ (in fact knowing is a very tricky philosophical concept but that is for a different Board!)/but the Spanish press suggest it. Atletico would ideally sell but will consider loan, especially if an option to buy.

I think it is 90% that the RB will be Arias. Available on loan. Plays at a top team in a top league. Known to Brands.Mate of Mina.

I do not disagree Nymzee but we need to save wages more than raise cash. If we can save £2-3m pa doing it we just might. Particularly if Gala agree to a sell-on. Onyekuru has refused 2 moves & had 3 work permit applications rejected. He’s a giant headache at this point.

If there is anything in the Diagne story it will be to let Onyekuru join permanently as it said he wants them not Monaco, possibly with Tosun or Niasse also going on loan. No actual cash will be moving anywhere!

If the RB on loan is Santiago Arias from Atletico as rumoured then Coleman will be challenged and the Colombian party nights at Yerry’s place will be epic!

My Mum warned me about cranks like you mate

If you message me I can give you both son and Dad’s name providing it stays off forum/internet for obvious reasons...
