I always liked Paul and am open minded on his opinions, before i start.

But the other thing you need to consider is his own opinion on the chairman and the board - if you are feeding into or influencing a protest group (and there isn't much transparency on the who is running it) and you have a public platform and peoples ear on finance - you aren't really going to say everything is improving are you............!

I don't bare any ill feelings to him or the rest of them that portray they know all things about the club wether it's about finance , transfers , stadium or other business.

Just don't get why they they do it .

I know 2 very well placed people within Finch Farm and like others would not dare post any snippets on here or any other media to make myself look relevant.

More often they are wrong ( proven many many times ) which makes them look rather silly tbh. Usmanov not involved, Mata & Witsel etc.

Has to be asked
Is it to help and share info with Blues fans ? Or something more selfish.

What are they hoping to achieve ?
Is it look at me I'm ITK, So I demand your attention ?

Either way I don't get why people keep posting them as if they where the be all end all.
Not for me thanks.

Gnonto and Danjuma next week then?

Im hoping we freshen up our midfield too. McTominay would be ideal but i cant see it happening

Mate, I'm not trying to be disparaging, but The Esk is just a fan, he has no special insights. On top of that he's very, very frequently wrong. I think there's a fair chance we sign nobody for real money either but The Esk, despite how he presents himself, is no oracle.

Never really overestimates though, does he

I always appreciate the pm's mate and I think it's wise not to post on forum in public that we're about to announce the 3 amigos of Che Adams, Johnny Evans and Danny Drinkwater.

We'll keep that to ourselves I reckon as the fume will be epic!

Its something that is beginning to disturb me, selling or letting lads go without having replacements in the door.

Gordon, Rondon and Kean in Dec/Jan - no replacement.
Simms - no replacement lined up - why sanction that move before having a deal in the chamber.
Gray............................

We shouldn't be selling anyone until we have a deal agreed for someone to come in done or agreed pending.

Think its obvious they're trying to build a bit of a war chest to be able to spend. Would much rather the fringe players for smaller amounts rather than one of our best players for a larger sum.

We need to get any kind of fee for the players we'd be happy to sell to build that pot.

The midfield probably requires the least amount of investment right now. We are desperate for a striker and a right winger, as well as probably one more full back cover.

I believe that to a point mate.

I believed we had to sell Richarlison to reinvest and improve it didnt happen, his outgoing went to bring a loss down.

I believed we sold Gordon and Rondon so we could sign a couple of players in January and clear space of the wage bill - that didnt happen.

Many recent examples of us loosing highly influential players - that just haven't been replaced adequately and fees pocketed to bring down losses.

Im just sceptical now both on the finances, reinvestment, but also the logic in selling first team players - Gray in this case - it shouldn't be done unless we have an incoming deal lined up - one for one and should be of more quality, instead of diluting the quality of the squad to cover losses - there comes a tipping point.

If we sign Gnonto, i dont believe it will be as DCL's back up option. I think he'll solely be a winger or number 10 style. I'd assume we'd also bring in another natural striker to challenge/compete with DCL.

Let’s hope so needs to be before the first game as right now we only have maupay and cannon as fit strikers.

Really the state we are in we kinda need 2 in for every 1 out.

I still think Onana is going this window. Possibly why Iwobi isn’t going.
