  1. Welcome Matheus Cunha!

    Could he bring Strand Larsen with him please?

  2. Club ownership | Senior management team talk

    I do not understand how Ruben was still in a job 5 minutes after the Europa Final. We are never getting back to the top by sticking stubbornly to this course.

  3. Kobbie Mainoo (out)

    Loan him to Sporting for a year so he can learn to play midfield in the Amorim system in a lower pressure environment.

  4. Viktor Gyökeres

    Bruno is going nowhere. We might buy Gyokeres although currently I see zero evidence that we even want to, but if we do it will have nothing to do with Bruno.

  5. Jadon Sancho - Chelsea (loan) watch | £5M opt-out fee | Skysports: Chelsea negotiating to keep if contract terms agreeable

    To add to that I am fairly sure the 25M fee was decided upon because it covers his remaining cost for accounting purposes and gives us a few million over which we can use to compensate him for the gap in his wages next season. For arguments sake if his new deal with Chelsea leaves him with a 5M...

  6. Viktor Gyökeres

    Most players would but there is a lot of noise from Portugal, from his Uncle and his Girlfriend mostly admittedly, that he is prioritizing quality of life and wants to stay where he is. He is still making good money and will still have the option to move next summer. I don’t think he will stop...

  7. Viktor Gyökeres

    At this point sure, he is what Hojlund could and should become. Gyokeres in his early twenties was a failed Championship player playing at a lower level than Rasmus with even less success. I don’t say this to claim Hojlund will suddenly blossom as not every player is the same but to point out...

  8. Victor Osimhen

    It was ESPN. It tracks with what Ornatein and others have been saying all along though. Osimhen wants this move and unless something goes wrong in the club to club negotiations it is where he will end up. The personal terms are miles beyond anything he would make in Europe. Nothing was ever...

  9. Victor Osimhen

    Story today was they have got the go ahead on personal terms so it is just about agreeing the fee with Napoli. Galatasary finish their season tomorrow and the window opens Saturday so I expect we will see some pretty rapid movement at that point.

  10. Viktor Gyökeres

    So can Hojlund to be fair although he regressed horribly in his second season. Initially when Amorim was appointed there was quite a lot of optimism about how Hojlund would fare in his system precisely because he is a very similar player to Gyokeres and had actually shown more at a younger age...

  11. Viktor Gyökeres

    The window has not even opened yet so it is a bit early to be making that statement. He is linked to a number of clubs and of course some of this will depend on which players end up where. It does appear he is the second choice for a number of clubs and they won’t all get their first choice so...

  12. Viktor Gyökeres

    The account was repeating something that was said on television so the number of followers for the account is immaterial. The notion that he would stay for a 3rd season has been mentioned several times already, the idea of 3 in a row and all that seems to appeal to him and as mentioned he has a...

  13. Striker Poll - Who should we buy ?

    Schick is not overlooked, he just has an injury record to rival Luke Shaw. He scored plenty this season but it is only the second 20 goal season of his career and he is about to turn 30. If he cannot stay fit on the continent I really don’t fancy his chances of surviving a PL season.

  14. Benjamin Sesko | Salzburg | Leipzig

    North of 80M. He has a release clause which has some weird sliding scale based on how the team has performed. CL Qualification pushed the price up it seems. Sesko himself is being quite deliberate about his career moves too so it would not just be a case of meeting the fee but also persuading...

  15. Striker Poll - Who should we buy ?

    I don't think it was ever money so much as the players preference, he has been quite open about not liking the Premier League, I think it is actually a good display of self awareness that he knows he would struggle in the league and is not going to screw up his career like that.
