Has anybody told these idiots this wasn't a goalie outfit, its just a training top and gloves to keep warm.

He's not a goalie guys

Anyone can be offloaded. If we can afford to spend over a billion pound we can afford to take a small financial hit on offloading either of them at a cut price. Clubs cut their losses on players all the time.

It won't be small financial hit. 

Sterling is on 300k a week, unless there is an offer from Saudi he is not movable. 

We paid 60m for Mudyrk. It is impossible to even judge his value right now. Big/medium team won't take him, small team won't be able to cover his salary.

A well run club would have prioritised cutting both early in the summer to clear the deck.

yeah 100%, sadly its been a while since we've been one of them though. 

A few years ago Marina would've got £50m a pop for each, now teams need to sell i'll be surprised to see us get offers of more than £20m for either. 

This is absolutely a massive signing. Huge.

At his best he’s as good as Palmer! He can wreak havoc on anybody single handedly as we saw against Wolves. What. A. Signing!!!

Bob, calm down. 

Every player is moveable if we're willing to take a hit. 

WTF is the club going to do with all these players....surely there has to be a clear out like no other in the next two weeks...this is ridiculous.  

Would not be surprised to see Chillwell, Sterling, Badashile, Casadei, Broja sold plus about another 6 players gone before the window or loaned out.

Neto's a good player, I just don't understand how we can justify signing another winger with such a ridiculously bloated squad

 

You need to recalibrate your thinking. Most of the purchases haven’t been for the squad, they are for the loan army. The owners are hoping that a few might be good but it’s mostly speculation on prospects that they could sell for a profit in a couple of years to boost the PSR numbers. CFC is now more business than footy so purchases are now assets first, players second. 

Happy with this. Top player on his day. As others have highlighted I’m a bit concerned by his injury record. We’re talking quite a few long periods out. If he stays fit he’s certainly ahead of any of our current crop of wingers.

Make it make sense

Well, a LOT of those players have to leave on loan or be sold.   Only Palmer and Nkunku are currently top quality.  . . .and Neto is top quality if he stays fit.

They will all fight it out to the death for a place in the first team with Cole Palmer.

Yes but you have to do it. It’s OK making a mistake in the market; but once you realise you have made a mistake, cut the player as soon as you can. Utd cut off Alexis Sanchez after 2 seasons, Arteta got rid of Willian after one season. Even if it meant not doing any business this season.

Neto is fine but if we want a left footed attacker, I would have gone all in on Olise. 

We promised Reece and Wes company in the treatment room, they thought would be Olise, looks like is Neto.

Neto can play in the Premier League on Sundays and the rest can battle it out to play on Thursday's and at the same time audition for the other Sunday wingers slot.

Keeping him fit is our biggest issue so we might have to mange his workload.

Arsenal got Willian on a free so I wouldn't say that's comparable, and United have the operational revenue to only take a small hit on these errors. 

I think we are well f**ked with Sterling and Mudryk.

Been doing some digging and he still hasn't sorted out his hamstring issues which is definitely worrying. No surgery, nothing.

Would be surprised if anyone is sold. They paid ridiculous fees for the younger ones and have them on lengthy contracts. The older ones like Chiwell & Sterling have no desire to leave because of their fat contracts, and the club’s insistence on getting top fees.

Now I’m worried. Wonder if this is why no-one else has been in for him.

Like @2211 stated, we need to carefully manage his game time. I know we brought in a new medical team and everything, but dodgy hamstrings are dodgy hamstrings. 

He shouldn't be seeing any cup games imo, unless they towards the back end of the competition.

Not sure why Olise would have chose us over Bayern.

I think Tottenham did and we beat them to it!

Those 15 games a season we get out of him and Reece are gonna cook 

Anyone reckon he starts at ST next week against City?

Oooohhh me likey, we have enough depth for his yearly injury.

We did. He just chose to join Bayern.

15 games is a bit optimistic with our medical team.
