Some thinkings:
- A really excellent spread of weaseling this week. Clearly with the good recent weather and fertile ground of Everton not doing the signings, we are seeing many good examples of the species making their first moves of the summer
- Remarkably (having essentially rigged it) @Raino85 has been surpassed as the top Weasel.
- The window is now technically open - well, it might be, I don't actually know - I would expect there to be a good surge this week
As ever, I would like to thank the excellent Weasel Hunters for their work. This isn't Tory Fox Hunting, this is humane, controlled tracking and we are all better for it.
If you have any complaints about the Weasel Index, please leave them here
Is Kok the Cambodian bloke? I must confess to not having watched him play 1 second of a game so cannot give informed opinion on his abilities.
I never cease to be amazed at the football knowledge of so many on here who follow all these obscure players/leagues.
Is he any good?
Dolberg isn't gettable mate.
Why not? He's at Ajax and the Dutch league is utter dross. Offer @£15-20mill. Should be more than enough
We were never getting VVD, we can't give him Champions League so had no chance of getting him when there are clubs who have it after him.
That's the thing, people say money talks and to an extent it does but people who say CL football isn't everything for the best players are kidding themselves! And Liverpool look to have both. And look at Liverpool, last season they were in same boat as us, they had the Europa league and were no way offering £50m plus and £200K a week wages to players like they are now that their in the CL! They were signing cheap German GK's, a Pair of crap CB's from the Bundesliga and signing the best players from clubs lower down in the league that the top clubs didn't want or want to take a chance on (Wijnaldum & Mane)!
And that's what we're gonna have to do to try and put together a good, competitive team, go for players like Pickford, Keane & Sigurdsson for example, players that are the best at their clubs and would improve us but the top teams aren't certain of and take a miss on them.
And hopefully we can find some gems on the continent that we can bring in and unearth?! But that's how we're gonna have to approach the market this summer to hopefully try and bridge the gap, although with the way the teams above are spending already, it's gonna be tough!....

Boo hoo
Absolutely right. We're clearly the best outside the top 6 so we need to smartly pick the best players from the clubs below us and hope they step up next season like Mane did for the RS.That's the thing, people say money talks and to an extent it does but people who say CL football isn't everything for the best players are kidding themselves!
