As Jairzinho said, we got £12.5m for Ward and he’s garbage. 

Bazunu is probably a better marker.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, but I've never heard of the cunt.

[Scott_M]

In a world where Arrizabalaga is the most expensive keeper in the world, Keheller is worth >£15m. 

 

 

[3 Stacks]

The market for a player is unfortunately whatever someone wants to pay for them. If say Brentford don't want to pay 15m for Kelleher you can't imagine other clubs do want to. Or go even higher.

I wonder what they’ll shout when he falls over?

[Lee909]

I'd let Brentford have him for 15ml if we add a buy back for 20/25ml

I was thinking that. If they want to low ball us, they can’t ask for a fortune in a buy-back clause.

[El Dangerous]

Arsenal got £20m or Martinez which turned out to be a great deal for Villa. That was three years ago, Queef should bring in £20m-£25m or stay. Loan him if needs be. Brentford want £40m for Raya ffs.

Making space for Rice / Caicedo…

A name that will forever pop-up on when I type xh into my chrome browser. Along with Xherdan Shaqiri and xhamster. Fine company.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Anyone else now wondering what happens if you type Xherdan Shaqiri into xhamster?

You get his alter ego Ram Man.

This is going to go down well in North London…

WTFFF im done with this club if this happens. Fuck you Levy

To be fair, his reaction in that picture is pretty apt for someone so bad being awarded a new 3 year contract with no doubt a pay rise. Just praying its to protect whatever value he has but gut instinct is we'll be seeing Lurch and his usual cock ups next season with Levy no doubt telling Slot, Ange, Alonso, De Zerbi or whoever they have a potential Baresi on their hands.

Remember when the Echo said Ward was going to be given a chance at taking over from Karius as number 1 and then we signed Alisson almost immediately? Thank fuck it worked out that way. 

[Colonel Bumcunt]

I'm all-in on Alex Scott from Bristol City. 

At 17, he's a phenom.  You could make a case for buying him just based on his tackling, but he's also as gifted as Pedri.  

If he only costs £25-30m we should be all over that.  As it is, I fully expect Brighton to buy him with the £70m they get for MacAllister, and then laugh their arses off at us.

I don't know how anyone could dislike Mac Allister. Even if the fee could be seen as too much and if it turns out he's not world class, the floor is so high with him. He is good at every position in midfield. I don't think people get how rare and valuable that is. At worst he'd be a very serviceable, solid player.

Liverpool close to signing Harvey Owen from Wolves.

 

He's 14.

Is there an age restriction on leaning photos?

If we have any ambition we should try and sign M.Ødegaard. He is exactly the player we are missing in our midfield. 
 

How much would he cost?

[El Dangerous]

Gotta admit, if Arsenal start next season with a midfield of Rice, Caicedo and Odegaard I’ll be very jealous. That’s almost a perfect midfield. Buy a top forward and they’re likely contenders again.

I actually thought Xhaka was really good for them this season.

 

I'm hoping we'll be right up there again from August, so having a third club like Arsenal being relatively competitive might not do us any harm in trying to catch City.  With the margins so tight we need other teams to take points off them, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to see where those challenges will come from with Spurs and Chelsea falling off and Man United treating City like their masters in every game.

We're in a good place if we're being sniffy about the prospect of bringing in World Cup winning Argentinian midfielders. 

 

He's as near to a complete midfielder as we'll get at that money. I'd have him over Declan Rice anyway.

So if they spend £170 million on two midfielders plus maybe another £80 mill on a top forward they’d like be contenders?
Just the small end of quarter of a billion quid…

[Dave D]

People should get the deals done quick. Man United wont be like Newcastle once they come into money- they just love spunking 100m on players that enhance "the brand"  

Galacticos will come and go like buses with very little thought about how they fit into the team
