[griffla]

99.9% of the deals get done in the last few hours of the window. We're not finished yet are we?

Defo one more in. Maybe two.

Edit: Aaah, nice one Azul. impressive, confident style of delivery.

The Arteta money went to the bank, fair enough. We took around £13m for Rodwell and spent close to £7m on Mirallas, around £4.5m on Pienaar, about £3m on Oviedo and roughly the same on Stones (total £17.5m).

Say that our debt was £35m and the tv money this year is £40m. We're £18m up on trading so, without taking into consideration loan fees, improved contracts etc we could be debt free and have £23m to spend on Lukaku in the summer. IF that is the case, why dip into the pot now if we can at all help it?

Martinez has said that the situation is different at the club now than it was under Moyes and that we don't need to sell players to pay down debt. I'm sure that the tv money has a lot to do with that. How much are our loanees worth? Lukaku £23m? Deulofeu £30m? Traore £15m? If teams want to trust us with £68m worth of talent why wouldn't we take advantage?

I believe that we're working strategically. Say that the plan is to buy Lukaku in the summer, if possible, sign Barry for free and take Deulofeu on loan for another year. Who wouldn't be happy with that?

Haha stop it, listen the debt we have will get bigger.

Defo defo?

One, yes defo.

 

[bluemangroup]

One, yes defo.

A permanent transfer for once orrrrr?

 

[Smodger]

One, yes defo.

You herd anything Chico

 

[chicoazul]

Permanent I thought but I'd be guessing. Squad will be added to. Midfield is a priority. Few irons in the fire apparently.

 

[Toffeelover]

Chico baby, you sound pretty sure, how come? Any idea what irons are cooking?

Sounds promising. We will have to wait and see.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

I've been speculating mate based on media reports and stuff from genuine ITKs in the hope of building some sort of false belief that I have half an actual f*cking clue on who is signing for us and not.

So far I've done well.

 

[Moomin]

Sounds exciting that Chico, thanks for the heads up. He will be boss for us.

Thanks mate.

 

[mythbuster]

If Chico says we're bringing somebody in, then that means, errr, I'm not sure what it means.

Up until blowing your own cover you were doing great. I'm pretty sure you should be telling us to stand on top of you or something though. Not sure what it means ... maybe one of us gets on your shoulders and we put a big coat over the both of us and we go down to Finch Farm and try to pass ourselves off as Traore for the inside access? Can't miss.

Anyway stop blowing yourself and write us a preview ... what do we pay you for anyway?
