Is Gnonto better than Gray?

Other than at Goodison when we beat them/Coleman got the better of him - I've not seen Gnonto play.

He’s certainly going to be.

If El Bilal Toure comes in, I think it means we have already agreed a big money outgoing deal, so that's Onana or Pickford off. If we need to let Pickford go to finance the move, I'd rather we looked at cheaper options and kept Pickford.

Mate we just don't know this to be the case.

Pickford isn't moving anywhere... Utd was the only possible option

Pickford isn't going anywhere.

Doesn't make sense, because 1) no "top" club in the league needs a keeper and 2) we'd have to reinvest most of the money made from pickford to sign a good enough keeper to replace him

Any reason why Onana wasn't involved on Sat?

Injury?

I do think it's important that the player is physically capable of playing in our league though. No denying there are players who just aren't up to it, but I think the ability to play in the system/style is as important.

For example I think an absolute disaster at Everton (not that we can afford him) would be Memphis Depay.

Yup Depay is grade A knob. Would never even try to get him.

Why? Last season we bought Onana out the blue when everyone was saying we had ‘no money’.
This was the same window we spent on Maupay, McNeil, Coady loan, Garner by the way.

My take is that we might be skint for a premier league team but we’re still a premier league team with all that tv and other money coming in. We also have a lower wage bill than last season with Mina and co. gone…

He should have gone for a swap deal offering a kettle.

Would have brought a new element to the table....

----------------------

I think he tried but the element was to hot to handle, something of a hot wire it's rumoured.

I saw all these puns and thought we were being linked with Charles De Ketelaere ffs

We made a 60m sale to be fair
