I actually had no idea it was this bad. Wowzers.

Look how many Definite Penalties we should've had though

 

[Paulie]

Christ, forgot all about him. Shockingly bad. Think he scored about 3 goals. And 2 of them were in a cup tie away at some lower league side.
Yeah. He was bad.

I remember at a league cup game he went up to take a penalty with his jumper on.

There is a difference between physical presence and being mobile. When you’re 6’5”, shorter guys get past you more easily. Onana looks good in the tackle so that’s good but the prem pace might mean he’ll be out of position at times.

I don’t particularly think height is as important in the midfield as it is in central defence for example. The ideal dm is kante who just gets about the pitch and covers a ton of ground. It’s also weird that if we get gana we also sign yet another DM.

I do wish the lad well, but our priorities were a striker, CM and RB.

I think Gana is the DM and Onana will in time become our CM...

This lad is a CM so addresses a priority though?

He also likes very mobile to me.

Remains to be seen but Bruno Guimares looked very good on Saturday for Newcastle, would have liked to sign that type of CM player instead.

I watched most of the game and he didn't do anything of note at all and was playing against a newly promoted Forrest team.

Wednesday

Coady would have been announced today but United are bidding for Rabiot so we won't get a look in with the news cycle

I promise I was typing as you were typing and I was just joking with Wednesday...

So Wednesday it is then.

Unlikely to be today so not to clash with the closing ceremony of the commonwealth games

Champions league qualifiers on Tuesday and Wednesday, Europa League Thursday, so we're looking at Friday at this point, by my rough calculations

Won't be Friday, would be preparing for the game on sat, then obviously the actual game, then the French apparently don't work weekends, so realistically looking at next Monday.

I hope the French fax machine works today.

Bad news. Everybody in France is on holiday for the whole of august. We're probably looking at late on deadline day.
