Will this reach 500 pages in the next 24-hours!

yes

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Really happy for Lo Celso more than anyone, was professional throughout and sounds like he really wants to be here. Man do I appreciate a player who actually wants to be here

Absolutely this, particularly given how messy it sounds like the negotiations got at times. Can’t have been easy for him, so fair play for being so respectful to them.

If all is agreed this should be tied up and announced pretty quickly as the personal terms have been agreed for months !!

 

[Basil Brush]

Couldn’t you find a nearby fire hydrant ?

Now you tell him....

 

[werty]

Was never in doubt.

In the next 23 hours, you’d hope

Let’s gooooo! I am fucking pumped to watch this guy and Ndombele grow together. Legit best midfield in the world potential. But still need one more in addition!

I think these guys with Winks operating behind them will be the ultimate in non-DM based three man midfields.

Well, close... I don’t think anything will ever touch Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, but that will never be repeated.

Let’s just hope that we see width in front of them and less of this diamond bollocks.

Also, I think having a genuine left footer in there is a benefit as it gives us more than just the left back as an out swinging cross option from that side.

I’ve looked at Mateo Gonzalez’s account, and can’t see where he’s said bid accepted.

 

[pelayo59]

probably taken from this spanish sources buttt

He’s a reporter for some reliable news outlets, so presume he’s reported on the news page not his actual one

Credit to Levy. He and Ndombele were always Poch's top targets and he went out and got them.

Seems like Lo celso and Dybala are our first choice and Fernandes is incase either falls through

No, we are only getting one more. We would have gone for 2 if CE had been sold. From the onset the ITKs said that 2 def not dependent on Erikson going. So its Ndombele + 1 of either BF , PD or GLS. But GLS or BF seem the more likely at this stage

 

[Riandor]

And after all this Time the one I’m probably most happy about.

I just felt we have chased him all summer it would have been a massive disappointment for all concerned if it had failed (obviously still awaiting official confirmation and it could go tits up)

 

[daryl hannah]

Jokes about the Falklands really aren’t cool, they’re actually quite offensive to people with opinions on both sides of the dispute, it’s like joking about the Gaza Strip or the Turkish occupation of Cyprus.

Well for clarity, my fact about cabbages - in fact all veg on the falklands is true. Not making a joke...

My friend's parents live there.

It’s coming!!!

Unless Levy is gambling that we will indeed sell CE after the window closes. Sounds un-levy-like, but so does spending 140m euros on two central midfielders and he did that..

 

[Basil Brush]

This is awesome guys.

So excited.

Will be an absolutely crucial part of the team.


(Now to actually watch some of him playing for the 1st time. True that I have never seen a second of him. )

I’m still a crazy person who likes Dier... but I see why people like/want Winks in the lineup. I really do like the idea of Son and Lucas flanking Kane. We rarely saw it last year as one of them were forced centrally. Would open up our offensive game a lot.

Reckon Sess is very much wanted by Poch too, wouldn't have chased for years otherwise
