Its a squad game, 5 attackers for 3 positions is fine, no different to other teams.

Isnt Moreira going to Dortmund for around £40m? Yildiz has recently extended his contract to 2030. We have Barco though.

Not sure why many are married to the idea Alonso will play a back 3. He only did it at Bayer because they actually had wingbacks and a bunch of #10s.

I imagine its more hope because our defenders are sh*te and we've had success as a club with a back 3.

A good manager should be able to play in different formations - lets hope Xabi can do that. The rigidity of some managers (as we all know) is nauseating.

Tottenham have made a bid of 56m for him, they want 68m, rumours Man Utd and ourselves are interested

ITS A NO BRAINER

PAY WHAT THEY WANT

then flog off Decrap, Jacko, Guii and Emhega

Osimhen, Pedro and Welbeck as the strikers

@Caps_Lock_King careful with the " No brainer " comment, old boy.🙂

I remember it being used when we had the opportunity to sign the deadliest striker in East Anglia, a certain Mr Liam Delap. 😂

Salary is irrelevant, he's going to be asking for big wages.

I'm very happy us not signing him.

Don’t think there’s a player in world football who has PL Flop written all over him more than Osimhen.

Why would they sell a player they paid €75m for €68m considering quality CFs are at a premium? He will demand big wages though; around £350k/w+, he is on €300k/w net at Galatasaray. Spurs certainly can pay the wages, but I think they have a bigger need for quality wingers.

Why? Because he's overrated.

He had his chance and chose... Poorly.

How did he choose poorly? By not signing for low wages on a 6 yr contract?

I applaud him for knowing his value.

He's done so well he's now looking to move to... Spurs.

Going great 😅

I think Hulk was my favourite chronicle of the none signings.

C’mon BlueCo were telling him to take make a sacrifice, and take a pay cut if he wanted to play here. On what planet is a quality CF on €22m a year taking a pay cut to join you? You either admit he is out of your wage range or pay him is worth.

Thank God we didnt embarrass ourselves by registering an interest in Vinicius. You know they can’t help themselves.

Wouldn't be a transfer season without an Osimhen rumour. No doubt materialise to nothing.

More Osimhen rumours doing the rounds, can’t see this happening now they’ve signed Wellbeck but he played Pedro in the 10 yesterday.

If Jackson left and Osimhen came in all of a sudden we have one of the best attacks in Europe.

Will never happen.

He ain't all that and a bag of potato chips

Would fit right in 🤣

The black Delap, or blonde Jackson, or tall Caicedo, or tall black Enzo.
