They just spent a load on De Jong



Yea anyone expecting the club to reinvest and rebuild smartly after selling the little quality we have in the squad is in for some heartache.

Been a year of lies being peddled about a change in recruitment and football strategy + structure yet here we are a month into the window with Woodward still primarily at the helm of decision making and no word of a DOF/technical director or restructure being anywhere on the horizon...

Feels like we're in for even more of a precipitous decline to new lows with the way things are trending. Really hard not to see doom and gloom heading our way, fully expecting our main league rivals to be the likes of Wolves,Everton and Leicester this coming season more than any of the top 6
Well I think we need to wait until the end of the window before casting judgement, but considering the last couple of windows there is good reason for concern. Such a huge window both in terms of who we need to sell, who wants to go and who we need to buy. CL qualification failure is a big thing I think, but even so there are plenty of good players we should be able to sign, the more time passes though the less chance of completing numbers in and out is likely....if we even mean to

People need to differentiate between club Perisic and National Perisic.
Inter were practically shopping the Croatian around in January because he's been that bang average for them.

Icardi brings Wanda and circus with him and Perišić blows hot and cold. Brozović would be decent but maybe it's the best they splash the cash if they want Lukaku and that's it.

I worry that we will end up outsmarting ourself here.

If we sell Pogba and Lukaku quickly, for £130 mill and £60 mill, we will be able to compete for some of the top talents.

If we hold out for £150 mill and £80 mill there will be fewer options left and we will likely end up overspending on someone who would not have been our first choice initially.

Top players are far less likely to come to us if we start happily selling off our best players, and we should have more than enough money to buy these 'top talents' without having to sell Pogba and Lukaku first, doing so will only make selling clubs charge us even more.

The fact we seem to be making the same mistakes all over again is on us, so right now it's maybe better we hang on to what we've got.

feck.. That Neymar tweet is terrible news for us.
Woody is now going to drop everything else and unsuccessfully try to land Neymar for the rest of the window.

We should simply tell Inter that unless they stump up the sum we want the ONLY other option is a straight swap for Skriniar. If not,find a different target you can afford.

Won't be surprised if we end up getting him. Particularly if Pogba leaves.

Not sure who else will want him?

Not sure he would want us. A diva he may be but winning trophies would be high up on his agenda, not battling with Watford and Wolves to finish 6th.

Think he will get another year and they will probably sell him once someone coughs up the money and his huge wages. Not sure where he can go, i only see him at Barca or Real really.

If Lukaku is to be sold ship him to an Italian side that isn't Inter and for half the fee we are asking them. Those cheap bastards can eat shit.

Doubt Barca or Messi will want him back after the way it all played out last time.

And after Griezzman and De Jong can they afford him?
They can't
They already are at their maximum limits , they need to sell. Buying Neymar is not possible for barcelona

He is good with a lot of the Barcelona dressing room.

They'd take him back.

Depends if Barto would take him back though.
