I would just be happy in this window if we can get McAtee signed up. He looks a great prospect, and at least give him a run out on Friday

I hope I’m wrong this situation could end up with him ofski.

It's up to him, he can do a Foden or a Sancho. Look how it worked for the latter.

Foden, for my money, still has a lot to prove. And these last two months havent filled me with confidence. Regardless of what he does on the pitch, he is at a point or coming to a point in his life, which will dictate his path. He could be a superstar or he could easily let his career go from stella to good but should have done better

He was magic against Brentford and we missed him against Arsenal. Yes he had off games but no worse than KDB. he's a country mile ahead of Sancho. A game changer. I agree he needs to do more to be a superstar as suppose to just 'very good'.

Reading Ramsey is an 'outgoing player' according to Juve but that he has turned down Burnley as he is looking for a more high profile club. How have the mighty fallen. Not exactly ripped up any trees in such a possession based league

He’s stole a living for the majority of his career .
Made out of plasticine!

Rags!!!

How reliable is that Balague fella? The beeb running an "article" reckoning Barca COULD sign Haaland in the summer.

Apparently they are on the brink of a €1.5 BILLION loan landing courtesy of Goldman Sachs mainly for the stadium rebuild, this addition to €595M they owe Goldman Sachs!!!!

It does go on to say they will need to off load a bunch of high earners, which they will struggle to do

Probably just click bait shit?

Usually reliable concerning anything Barca related. He wrote the Pep Biography and seems to have a pretty good idea of internal affairs in it. That being said, I can't see how they could even begin to afford Haaland. He's the cherry that goes on the icing and cake they don't have

Exactly
No fucking way is he going there. Us or the german rags

Coutinho joined villa on loan wow.

Barca are a joke with the finance situation.

Trippier to geordies done.

Glad Coutinho has gone there. He’s shite and will take up a good chunk of wages. Hope Gerrard slips up.

I think he promised he will make him good again.

So they need to lower their wage bill to register Torres. So Villa get Coutinho on loan, Barca are so desperate. So if his loan falls flat/breaks leg etc etc, would he be left unregistered etc??

Hope he has a good agent!

No idea who where Haaland goes but it is unlikely to be us?
We did not get Lukaku end of the 19/20 season.
We did not get Kane end of the 20/21 season.
There was not a long queue of suitors for either.
We are going for Haaland end of 21/22 season and everyone wants him.
Real are sponsored by the Spanish state. Never forget that they are called Real (meaning Royal) for a reason.
Barca represent Catalonia and the money follows.
Ditto for Munich and Bavaria.
IMO those three are favorites ahead of us. These are the original State sponsored/sports washing clubs. The money will be available and the rules bent accordingly to facilitate the signing.
Outsiders are the Rags. A money generating machine with massive influence and Chelsea who could splash the cash. So could Newcastle but it is to early in their project to interest Haaland? Dippers don't have the money. The Italians don't have the money.
The money involved will be huge, more than we have spent on a single player before.
I put us joint fourth favs with the Rags and Chelsea. I make the Spanish favorites.
La Liga will be desperate for Haaland to join and the money could be found and legitimized. Also, all sorts of obstacles will be put in our way if we get close to a deal. No way will the continentals want to see it happen. Same goes for Rags, Dippers and Chelsea. They would do whatever they can to stop it.

Agree. The more I look at it, the more I think we are going to get Nunez from Benfica.
No idea why we are not after Vlahovic.

Real Madrid having Mbappe and Haaland I think is unlikely. Haaland is imo replacing Lewdowski.
