These kind of signings are fine for 10 -20 mil. But we could have purchased an established first team player like kudas for this. I really hope their judgement is correct on this one, feels like an expensive gamble.

I bet our targets all fall through and we end up signing hazard on a 6 month deal 😄

Our potential targets seem to be getting snapped up at a good speed. Pretty annoyed we have seemingly let kudus go. As far as a striker it might be interesting to see us rival spurs for gift orban? Pace to burn, fits our age criteria.

Apparantly trev has been told the club will accept offers for him, and the price they are looking for is just 22mil 🙄. Reece james is injured already and will continue to get injured once hes back no doubt. So we will let go our best other option for rb for peanuts, and pray that gusto doesnt get crunched in a tackle, really great thinking.

Lets reserve judgement on this one until we see him play. Hes been killing it in mls, its not the prem but at the very least we may have just improved on sanchez and can send him packing next summer once we have a clear longterm target between the sticks.

I think ivan toney is very much on our radar, but his suspension didnt help matters.

So long as we had ample cover for their inevitable court appearance dates 🙄

Id have to agree with a comment above. We really should be negotiating another loan for felix at this point, he knows the club so can hit the ground running, he seems to really like it at chelsea and since athletico seem unable to sell him at their inflated asking price, maybe we could actually negotiate a sensible buy option at the end of it incase we did decide to make it permanent. Felix is going to be a far better short term/ or long term option than hazard and is just as available at this late stage. Theres simply too much riding on the season to not move on a chuk/nkunku replacement.

Honestly you know we are in a bit of trouble when we are considering this. I think hed be great to have in and around the club in some kind of role... whether he has anything to offer on the pitch for the next 6 months considering hes had no pre season is doubtful.

Length of contract isnt a reason we have had issues shipping players out, its been the amount we pay them per week thats the issue. Anyway i cant see us spending too much. As mentioned above, a de geya or schmeichel may be the extent of it for now.

I hope he gets them promoted. I have nothing but respect for leicester after their impossible premier league win all those years ago. So fingers crossed cassadai can help them back up.

It would seem pretty silly to make such strong changes to our team and yet end up weak as piss in such an important position as goalkeeper. Sanchez is a second keeper for me.

Surely there has to be a loan fee otherwise wtf is the point. Real madrid wont want him once their number one is back so its not leading to a permanent transfer.

I would imagine the plan was always to send ugochukwu over to strasborg so long as we achieved our transfer targets. He is billed as the new patrick viera so who better to mentor him at this stage of his career. Id imagine santos sticks around and gallacher is sold. They have seemed keen to cash in on gallacher for a while.

Rumour is tony bloom like todds watch and so hes requested thats thrown in too.

But In 5 years they will be back in the championship and in desperate need of some money to fund another promotion push 😆

Provided this wage demands were in keeping with our new structure then id consider de gea a shrewd free signing for the season to compete with sanchez.

Maybe so, but slapping an extra 11 million on top of an already inflated asking price seems over eager to me. Why didnt the scouse fkrs outbid us with something between 101 and 105 seeing as it would have had the same effect, 11 million on top of an asking price is throwing money around.

On the brightside its been good to see this huge demonstration of caicedos belief in our club and loyalty to his word. Im not thrilled about the fee we are going to need to pay these brighton arseholes, but i feel after his huge public show of loyalty to us, we really need to do whatever it takes to complete this now.

I think we are being hustled..caicedo doesnt want liverpool and both clubs knew it. Its a clever hustle,we are getting well and truly out manouvered by brighton at every turn.

Im angry at our board for piss arsing around for 3 months rather than sitting around a table and thrashing out the deal with brighton long ago. But having said that, there ìs other players out there overseas that are just as good and with more experience, so lets seek those out and test the water with some new targets. Secondly, we still need an attacking midfielder so lets make damn sure now that brighton do not get kudas under any circumstances....not that im bitter 🙄

So apparantly kudas is in disagreement with brighton over a release clause, as in he insists on one but brighton dont want to allow it 😄. This is the bed brighton have made for themselves over their caicedo stance and its already haunting them.

We have broja.

Id sooner be seeing hall stick around to play in midfield than an injury prone leeds player.

If we let him go to fulham for pocket change then the least i would expect is a 40-50% of future sell on profits.
