Im thinking Todd Boehly learned a lot from his meal in Spain...

they are desperate for cash 

we wont get paid unless its in instalments

we like swap deals but not at the risk of taking on substandard players

let them chase after every player thats available and even buy a few / beat us to them - use up what credit they have, then choose our real targets.

if they need cash do all we can to avoid giving them cash

Azpi & Marcos' price should nice a firm and /or the swaps should be in our favour

oh and he had a nice meal

Gavi, Nico & Pedri are the only players i would take from Barcelona. we need to stay well clear of Dest & Depay 

we could send Azpi or Alonso in there undercover to bring to light their corrupt practices

i saw him play a couple of times when watching Aston Villa games, mostly as a substitute, he often brought some urgency to the team and attacking impulse

reminds me a bit of RLC, tall but technical, likes to dribble and drive through midfield  

Would be a great replacement for Dave. 

I'll call him Pete

Calvin Bassey close to a 25mill move to either Brighton or cleaning solution FC.

@Scott , @Boyne and our other Rangers lads, maybe get on the blower to TT if this guy is mustard, could save us a packet.

I saw him a few times last season, I think he needs more experience before we go in. Let him develop in the Dutch league or lower leagues first

Watched him a few times last season and he was outstanding. Can play left back and in central defence. I reckon he could play well in midfield as well. Looks like he is heading to cleaning solution FC. A shame that he is leaving Rangers and certainly worth Chelsea looking at. Would be a good addition to the squad.

Well he is off to the Netherlands.

For a song in comparison

Big Kepa could be off to Napoli - either on a permanent basis or on loan.

But talks over a move for Kepa are complicated by his huge £190,000-a-week wages.

£190k a week, jesus christ, hahahaha. Any other game this fella woudl have bene put on a PIP years agos.

Laughable, bet he's still full of entitlement as well. Won't drop his dough even though he has been stealing a living.

Can't see it happening, not unless we bring in a decent back up. Bettinelli is an awful goalkeeper and not somebody I would want to see in goal for us for any length of time. He would cost us points if Mendy got injured.

To be fair to Kepa his attitude is top notch. I never thought I’d say this after what happened in Carling cup final but I’ve grown onto him a lot. Yes he’s on big wages, we’ve spent a fortune on him, but he has been a great team player.

He literally gets paid over 150K a week to play at a level he's never had the talent to play at.

Why wouldn't his attitude be top notch? He's basically won the lottery.

People are always so quick to praise players for good attitude when they do the bear minimum.

Kepa knows he's not good enough to play at this level, knows he's not good enough to compete with Mendy and knows no club on the planet would take him on a free with his wages.

No one would cause a fuss in his position.

I see from reports he wants 100k per week , I reckon that's why he'll be let go

So kimpembe off the table and Kounde looks very expensive with a £50m bid rejected

We need a forward and a mid 

2/3 would be great biz but i dont see anything linking us to anyone else but defenders now

We do need a few more players but to be honest De Ligt is the only player we’ve gone for and failed to get that Im really bothered about missing out on.  The rest I’m not really fussed about particularly happy Ake and Kimpembe fell through.  The two that we have got Sterling and Koulibaly are the best options of the lot.

Can't somebody start a rumour that we're moving in on Grant Hanley of Norwich....just so those Barcelona fckers can gazump us!

TT or someone must have taken a holiday in Barcelona and left the transfer notebook on the beach.
