  1. Now listening to my 3rd SA Cosby book with a break between 2 and 3 to read Chris Hammers book Trust which was decent. Of the SA Cosby books, Blacktop Wasteland was excellent, My Darkest Prayer was good but this latest one Razorblade Tears is really brilliant. Highly recommended Southern Gothic, dark and very violent but the language and style is different and  so refreshing.

    Personally I think Diaz and Gakpo were terrific signings. Carvalho was a good punt that might pay off and Minamino  was worth a shot as well.

     

    I think we'll sign Bellinghan this summer. It makes sense for FSG - if he is transformative he pays for himself, if he is just "very good", they'll still get their money back. He's so young and a likely English captain. Worth a fortune on and off the pitch. Furthermore, by all accounts, he's a great lad. An Irish lad I know from the pub comes from the same place as his granny in Ireland and said the whole family are the loveliest people. Ties in what people on here who know his dad said as well.

     

    I think he will do great here if he comes. However, we need a lot more than him in midfield. I do like Mount and I'd be happy with him here. Put aside he plays for Chelsea. He's a good player who is being cast aside for shiny new playthings there.

     

    Personally, I would go big on a centre half like Gvardiol this summer. I'm not saying Virgil is finished, but I can see a big decline in the next 18 months. Big Bird is on the decline as well and Joe isn't going to get to where we hoped. Let's at least make sorting our defence out a little easier rather than turning it into the next clusterfuck in 2024 by getting one big costly defender in.

     

    It's all very kid in a candy shop but if we did spend big and well this summer, it really sets up well for the next few years. 2018 was a really good summer where we spent big and I'd love if we did that this summer.

     

    I'm no fan of FSG and thanks to Jurgen, they have been getting multiple free spins on their free bet of the day. This feels different though. If they don't invest in the team, it could unravel completely and they would stand to lose a lot more financially. That's why I think they will back Jurgen good style this summer. They aren't stupid.

     

    Wow I never thought he had Irish connections - what part of Ireland are his Dads family from?
