Summer rebuild 2023

[moron]

If 35m is accurate we'd be fools not to try

Installments ?

Enough said.

Either way, by the sounds of it we can barely afford to buy the players we need let alone make punts.

We could really do with hitting big with a few players from the academy over the next couple years.

 

[Buddha]

True, but I also believe that we've already scouted a Salah replacement. Just like we scouted Diaz.

Maybe, but we’ll struggle to find a better succession plan for Salah than Olise for 35m.

Agreed, but it's too late for Oliseh.
Seems like we were never interested

Cf. Curtis Jones.

I think our collective emotional investment in him multiplied about tenfold down the stretch of last season and into this transfer window.

How much of that is his ability and how much of that is our desperation

 

[Donavan Ried]

Why are we not looking at Sofyan Amrabat ?... Looked very sharp in the World Cup and would make a very good replacement for Fab'

 

[Markeh]

We probably are but he’s older than we’d like and reportedly wants to go somewhere warm to play.

i don’t remember this but it’s a bit rich for someone who couldn’t get in our reserves

But he once beat the time Ronaldo set in a 100m sprint!!!!

Is it because he’s looked shite throughout his entire career apart from those few weeks?

A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

I'd all but given up on him until he became our best player unexpectedly down the stretch. Now he is the Messiah, given our inability to buy a new one.

Still no news regarding Hendo, Fabs, but wtf is going on with Nat?

Same old shit.

2 weeks of nothing and for the latter 2 years of nothing.....turns out, no one really wants utter shite at their clubs...not even the Saudi's 😀 😀

 

[bluebell]

Harvey + Cash for Olise?

 

[Squiggles]

According to the Athletic big Jorg is working off a laptop and a phone at his home in Ibiza.
I'm not saying he's the reason for the lack of activity but the whole arrangement is ridiculous given the importance of this transfer window.

 

[Hansern]

He’s been at the training camp in Germany

Not the worst idea like, Roy would love Harvey.

The fact that we're in this position at all is ridiculous.

 

[tomasjj]

And breathe....

We have made two really good signings, then the cart was properly up sided, so I think we have to be a bit patient.

If Mbappe goes to Saudi then PSG will start spending like absolutly crazy, again. The market will be even more fucked.

Do you think he will go?

It seems to me that’s the only club or bunch of clubs who can afford his outrageous wages (unless Madrid city government purchases Real Madrid’s training ground again.) But, as somebody said in another thread, that would also mean saying goodbye to genuine top level football. Will his ego allow that?

 

[tomasjj]

I guess this move kicks Real into motion, and he ends up there.

 

[binomial]

Surely if someone is paying you 700m a year, the decision is already made for you?

And what if he likes it in Saudi so much he decides to stay longer than a year?

 

[tomasjj]

Not if he already has more money than he and his fam will ever need.

I mean.....doesn't 60m a year at PSG do that for you?

 

[tombrown]

Are that Saudi club really willing to spend a billion euro (fee + wages) and then let him leave for free in 12 months time?

Fuck me rigid

Its only for 1 year though.

You're not really au fait with the behaviour of the seriously rich are you 😎
