I'm going to clearly iterate that I hope we land Pjanic.

I REALLY think we need someone who can control the ball and pass better from deep under heavy pressure.

I will say, again, I am disappointed in losing Jorginho as I think this is what we need to stay top and fend off Liverpool, especially.

I thought he'd cancelled his contract like Patricio? Or is it one of these things where someone has to pay to cancel the contract?


Just posted the same thought!


FIFA are currently investigating the Patricio deal after a complaint from Lisbon. Lisbon want 50 million or so in compensation.

Buzz in the Scottish press that we're signing Arzani from Melbourne & loaning him to Celtic for 1-2 years ; nothing on any of the clubs' official sites. Whatever . . . .

Whats the plan for Gomes, he seems to be very highly rated (but so are many 18 year old kids!).

Looked pretty good last night and can fit in. Pep is raving about him and suggested he will stay with EDS/First team like Foden and Brahim last season.

He seemed quick, with good ball control, vision and touch - which Pep will love for that role - but also seemed to be able tackle and position himself quickly. He, however, made some poor decisions that gave away free kicks that will be a little cause for concern in the PL with that being the primary weapon to score for a lot of lesser sides, especially.

He just joined, but I foresee him being cover that hopefully gets some cup games against lower league opposition, and possibly could play, or be on the bench if we have an injury crisis and say Fernandinho and Delp are injured, and we don't sign anyone this summer.

He hasn't really played since January since PSG froze him out because of him opting for City. So no wonder he looks rusty.

Damm ! this is what happens when the italian waitress sits next to you, and you study the swell.

I was asking her how bad her sons results were in school ( they are about to finish for the summer holidays ) , that they make him wear a Juve Tranny shirt all the time now !

As fun as this story all is PSG would do anything to not sell him to us merely due to poltricks.

Both would seem to be good opportunities for him in a very competitive league.

Know some will not like this thinking we need him around as cover for striker, but I think Pep would rather use Sane (already has on the tour), Sterling and worst case KDB, Bernardo or Mahrez.

I like him, but he's not quite as natural of a fit for our style of play, although he showed some of his quality. Far more likely to be sold with a buyback, but maybe he shines in the Championship and proves himself worthy next summer when we may have more need for help with Kun aging.
