Mate, you and me both.

I’m certain Herc is talking about Moura and Malcom but I can’t figure out if Malcom is the second of the two we are trying to sort out now, and when he says now does he mean it more in a financial sense rather then moving now sense. Malcom obviously won’t come till summer so are we trying to bring in another now.. is that what he’s saying?
Don’t tax your brain :rolleyes:

The player to go straight into first 11 did not happen after us working on and will go elsewhere- Shame but very difficult and would have been a coup
Can’t release the name yet but told the mods who it was a good few weeks ago as we were well under the radar
LM still going ok at this point but not completed yet
The go elsewhere bugs me...who would that be?

Will be interesting to see who the special player moving elsewhere is, as we need to start punching our weight in fees and wages in line with our position in the rich list. We've been told from the top the stadium will not negatively impact.

I think the only first XI vacancy is a ball playing DM.

Kovacic was the player, but going to United instead = my best guess based on recent info.

Guess two: Andre Gomes is the back up option. I'd be reasonably happy with that.

Hoping for Gomes and Moura this window, and then Pulisic or Malcom being worked on for the summer

I honestly am really frustrated with us missing out on big targets but until we set the tone ourselves that will be how it is. Still hoping for a big signing for our stadium judging by hercs words but not getting my hopes up. Still excited to see Moura sign for us that is a great signing

Where has the Gomes stuff come from?

It's a shame that we were not able to convince the player in question. Can't fault the team for trying. However I just don't think we are quite there yet when it comes to convincing the big players. Until we show that we are capable of winning the big trophies then they will always go to a team that can give them that or big money. In the meantime we should be focusing on players who are close to breaking through (malcom) or opportunistic (moura). We seem to be doing that so I'm content.

Doesn't stop my butt cheeks from clenching though!

Thanks @JJetset as always for your info. Real Shame we couldn't get the deal done as it sounded good, just hope we aint lost them to one of our top 4 rivals if that good.
lets hope we can get LM tied down and I suspect that is it for us this month

Love JJ though he is always bang on the money albeit not always what we want to hear, he is often not wrong.

Sure jj has very good reasons but i am confused why the player that is probably going somewhere else can't be named.

Although what we don't know can't hurt us. Can imagine the meltdown if it was top top class.

Se la vie.

It until it becomes more widely known, revealing him might compromise JJ's source
