Gah, are you two at it again already?

A lot of dust has to settle from the last couple of days before we can predict anything. We could be looking at a Great Last Hurrah summer where everyone knows big changes to spending are coming down the pipeline and the players that are available get surprisingly expensive relative to post-COVID expectations.

We could be looking at a giant fire sale of the assets of Madrid, Barca and the Italian clubs generally where Zat's 'crack-induced' 167 million pounds will buy you a quality starting 11...if you have it. The six English clubs could get banished to League Two and all their players could all be available on a free to the highest bidder, or their players could all agree to hand in transfer requests if the clubs aren't put on the block because the relationship with ownership is irreparably damaged.

This insanity is far from over.

With FFP out of the picture, I think it's now or never in terms of buying our way into becoming serious contenders.

Maybe.

It could be a fairly dry summer with the home run balls that we'll never get out there, and not much else, such that we're better off plugging the major holes and otherwise not overpaying for dross.

It could be a bargain-hunter's dream as top clubs and second/third tier teams alike all have to liquidate some assets to balance the books. There's still the specter of litigation over the ESL contract out there, though I suspect with everyone pulling out in droves that will be found to be unenforceable.

We'll get some clarity on what we're looking at in the next few weeks as all of the dust starts to settle.

Get Tim Howard on the blower to Daryl Dike, he’s absolutely the kind of player I want us taking a punt on. I still feel hard done by that we never got McBride, I’m overdue my American striker.

Yeah not convinced after watching that. How many times does the ball bounce off him and he luckily manages to get it back? The clip at 05:00 is my personal favourite there, a touch of the Niasse about that.

I know.

For me we need a RB, CM, RW, ST as a min.

Anything else will be determined on what we can shift.

As I say, there are people who have a list of 15 or so they want replacing, now whilst its not that unreasonable, its sadly unrealistic.


Delph isn't even a warm body.

I mean yeah, Gomes is a bit up and down, more down than up, but at least he has semi contributed.

Gomes had his ankle facing the wrong way and hes still played more than Delph.

I could name 10-12 I want home and replaced
Sadly won’t happen in one window
Unless someone throws them out of a window
