Don't know about you boys, but I'm close to wetting my knickers with excitement at both the Rebrab/Digne post which I've only just seen, and also the flurry of activity I'm anticipating off the back of JJ's tweet.

With Rose & Trippier almost certainly off, Vorm & Llorente gone, and the real possibility we may ship out Toby, Nkoudou, Lamela and Janssen, that would put our totals this window so far as being 1 in / 8 out (or 2 in / 9 out if you include Jack Clarke. 3 in if you include Kion Etete, which I don't, given that he isn't even going on the Singapore and Shanghai tour)

There's absolutely no way the club hasn't got at least 4/5 players lined up to come in if those lot go. Even I don't think we could fuck a window up that badly.

Time will tell, of course...

You've really dived in with your optimism both footed there, fair play to you, im a little concerned with how much time is left but excited by possible change.

If we want to win the league. We have to address our weaknesses. Look in any match day thread (through the regular bullshit) and the the main problem we’ve have is with the fullbacks. End product from them has been poor. Both are good players. Both can be replaced with better players. If Poch is about to embark on phase 2 of his plan. This is the the area we need to focus on. Nothing lasts forever. And I suspect this isn’t Poch pushing Rose out the door as much as it looks mutual. He wants to go back oop north to be with his family. He’s been a great servant to the club. But there are upgrades out there. Look at Liverpool’s dynamism there. That’s what we need to shoot for. And Poch clearly sees that.

No chance, if @BringBack_leGin had posted that it would, like a Mozart opera, have at least three acts and a catharsis

the drama on here today is funny. Chill three weeks to get shit done. Id expected movement on a few names towards the middle of next week.
Lots of transfers still to be concluded by many. The closer to August the position of many clubs stances will soften.

Actually, a key part of Levy's transfer negotiation is to get them to do a quick caricature of him

dragon1 on 'who will we sign?':
the brothers at Fulham , Ceballos will either go to us or scum and if we can get nkoundou and Jansen out then Lo Celso will happen , as I try to explain on here all the time levy is way more about our wage bill than our net spend

There is an outside chance on bale , Madrid would have to hold our hand on the deal though big time we will not break our wage structure for him or anyone else will go to final days of window and really comes down to how bad madrid want rid and if bale wants first team football or just pick money up

If rose goes to Everton I think will take their left back but that’s more of a hunch than itk
Eriksen is a day to day situation Madrid are miles off I’d be guessing as in total limbo now
