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.

Hey, so long as the club sprung for a second monitor and a wireless keyboard to plug into, fire away.

Although we probably don't have the hundred quid or so in the accounts to do so.
 
Meanwhile for us… the revenue from selling players looks increasingly like it’s covering the majority cost of the players we’ve bought and the saving on wages from selling and releasing high earners is starting to look suspiciously like the it’s balancing out the shortfall in revenue from not being in the Champions League.

That all leads back to our self-sustaining model and not ramping up debt - particularly when the transfer market is going nuts.

I’m sure there’s a bit of wiggle room to bring a player in - but I reckon there’s an increasing chance we’re looking at predominantly loan deals.
 
This Arab cash splash is really a gift for us.
Getting rid of two older, overpaid veterans like that.
If only Thiago goes as well and we are laughing.

We’re currently 110 mill on signings and 0 on incomings.
The Lavia deal will be covered by Fabinho I guess.

But we’ll end up spending 100-150 mill net this summer.

How are we on £110m on signings?

We’re on £95m spend with an expected further spend of £35-50m (Lavia) with an expected income of £65m (Fabs, Hendo, Nat and the kids we’ve sold).

It’s more likely we’ll get an additional £25-£30m from selling Irish Kevin & Thiago than spending on new players.

We most certainly aren’t going to have a net spend of £110-£150m.

Szobo 70 mill €
Mac Allister 40 mill €

the saving on wages!
 
Anyone else think Mbappe would be worked like a donkey if he goes to the Saudi league? He’d be in absolutely every video/billboard/happy meal/sheiks dinner/hotel opening/whatever for the entire time.
 
Anyone else get the feeling, after Latvia, we will not get anyone else? Beyond Colwill, there isn't any other defender being linked. The way I see it is Colwill go to Brighton and Moises to Chelsea.
 
Colwill himself might have other ideas. If he tells Chelsea he'll only move to us or else see out his contract and go for free, who knows?
 
Ah, right. I guess he could still try it on, but I admit that's wishful thinking on my part since, if we can't get Gvardiol, he's defo my next choice.

Looks highly unlikely, unless Thiago also leaves.
