All the papers seem to have been briefed that we're after a backup GK, a backup LB and a "versatile forward option."

 

The last one will be the only big-money signing. You're not spending £20m+ on a backup goalie or left back. But I could in fact see the other one being pretty expensive. We'll be shifting some big earners off the wage bill and with a few sales like Wilson, Kent, Lallana and Camacho we could easily have £80m to spend on one big-money signing.


The question is who it will be. I still think the most likely option is Werner, but if he decides to go to Bayern instead then who knows? Talk of Pepe but for £65m if there's any truth that Barca just want to get their money back for Dembele then I could easily see us looking at that and going "hm, for just a bit more we can offer £85m for Dembele and get someone special."

 

Sounds a bit daft I know but honestly, look at the prices being rumoured out there. Ajax supposedly want 80m euro for David Neres! Leverkusen want £80m for Leon Bailey! If those are the prices for Neres/Bailey (who are very good, but not world-class), then Ousmane Dembele for £90m is a bargain.

Is Dembele all that? I have never seen him do anything that made take notice of him. He just happened to be that the kid in the right place in the week Barcelona had 200m burning a hole in their pocket. He's there Andy Carroll.

I just can’t see us signing what will be considered a back-up player for big money and can’t see us signing the sort of player who’s an equal to our front 3 in talent.

 

None of the signs are pointing that way, so am expecting an on the face of it relatively underwhelming signing.

It’s the 17th of June and we still haven’t signed anyone. 

 

When do we riot?

 

Assemble outside County Rd KFC at 13.30hrs tomorrow. Bring petrol bombs and a V For Vendetta mask.

Man City about to spend 120m on Rodri from Atletico Madrid and Cancelo from Juventus. How does Pep do it?

 

Atletico might put it a bid for Grujic as they were linked with buying him if the sold Rodri.

Atletico rumoured to have agreed a 40million fee for Thiago Llorente to replace Rodri

Rigorously adhering to FFP, I see.

My guess is they went to CAS knowing it would slow down the process and in doing so would put off any potential ban for at least another window. If they are going to get done (the cunts will know if that is a strong possibility) then they'll just take the piss until a ban is forthcoming.
