Capt Jags' new boots

New boots? He’s just put his boots on before his socks

I see Moutino has signed for Wolves stating " I have always wanted to play in the Premier League"
He should have signed for us 5 years ago then.
Yarmelenko playing next season as well, be interesting to see how they go on.
Think they'll do well. Played some good football last season. Be like when blackpool got promoted bit of fresh air in a stagnant pond
 
More left field names being thrown about. He clearly likes Mina and Digne and I'd imagine they'd complete on both if they can (though by no means certain).

I think expect younger, cheaper options to be explored and a lot may depend on moving out some big earners. I didn't think we'd get Klaassen and Bolasie off the wage bill but looks likely to get both off. We are only then Mirallas, Williams and Schneiderlin away from being well below the figure Moshiri would have suggested, and possibly only slightly above if we bring the above 3 in. I could see 2 or 3 more unknown lads, possibly for 10-15 million emerge, and that may stay our stock range over the next 2-3 windows.

I see people mentioning Moutinho and Schurle. I can't see signings like that, if we wanted to go down that route, why sack Allardyce or Koeman? We are clearly looking to move away from that and with the new structure it makes little sense to move for such players. Moutinho has played over 400 games and is akin to Rooney really as he's coming to the end of his career with little sell on. Schurle has scored 3 league goals in 2 seasons. I think he has peaked. Good luck to both, but lobbing money and wages at lads on the way down hasn't worked for us so far and I'm not sure it does under Silva.
 

That was an incoming transfer though with no involvement with us
I dont think you understand.

An organization that is a well-tuned machine and likes things done well and promptly isnt about to then go "screw it, lets just mess about on the selling side, incompetence is fun dabble in". They are competent on both sides of the coin.
 
He's super fast and incredibly athletic. Gueye is super quick, too, but Zakaria is a 6'3" monster. He's like Paul Pogba big and athletic, but doesn't sit back and hold the ball. He moves it.
Just watched some more recent clips of the lad, he looks much better in the recent videos unsurprisingly.

Where do I sign?
 
I know Mina and Digne are 'on paper' very good moves for us...

Am i alone in not being excited about either of them?

I'm very excited about Mina mate. His performance against England was top draw. He is also the exact sort of centre back Silva would want.

Digne has a good track record and feels bit like the sort of signing Moyes made a success of. We could do a lot worse. But Mina, has the potential to be the signing of the summer for me.
