He does, but he likes Bruno & Lucas a lot more than any of those I think. It's not wise to write players off before they even turn up - who do you think is incoming then?


You sound like their agent :lol:. I'd rather wait a year and sign the likes of Wirtz than buy premier league B listers.
We need A* signings to replace the likes of KDB and Bernado.
If we end up buying them for silly money, we deserve another 100 charges for money wasting
Wirtz is off to the Kraut swamp along with his manager - that's a banker. Who else is on your 'never never land' list? :lol:


It's not a banker and I think Alonso will join Real.

We sit tight and wait. These two are not worth the figures quoted

Aleix Garcia is currently a better fit for our style of play. He has certainly found his feet since he left us. We are not getting Wirtz unless we offer a stupid amount of money this summer and we won't do that. Get shut of Phillips and replace with Garcia and we have better cover immediately. I can see us looking to raid Girona this summer

Not sure the players you quoted Mase were all Pep favourites tbh. He never seemed enthused for one minute about Phillips for instance. More of a Txiki mistake tbh.

Surely you can’t be suggesting that Pep doesn’t have final say on our transfers?

The worst ones - Bravo, Nolito, Mendy - they weren’t Txiki’s signings. It’s okay to say Pep makes mistakes ffs!

don't think so but you may be right about Alsono, either way Wirtz is Bayern bound 100% - not a snowflake's chance in hell he comes here . So who else is on your midfield list - come on spill? (and please don't bring out the Rico/Oscar/McAttee/Doyle cards) ;)

He won’t have the sort of detailed knowledge of all incomings that Txiki does. I never saw any evidence of Pep enthusiasm for Phillips.

Eh? It’s well known we signed Phillips based on what his hero, Marcelo Bielsa, recommended to him! It was said when we’d signed Phillips.

I think at times we relly to much on stats.
We've signed Nunes because he had some great passing accuracy. Agree it's important, but it showed it was a hit & miss.

I am ok with Bruno because he looked good in the league, Paqueta flopped at Milan and that is something that worries me. If we can get Musiala I think it would really be a fantastic deal.

Keep Kevin, Bernie and Ortega also. Suck them off if needed.

Nah, personally, I'd test the waters with Valverde, under Pep he can become something special.

He'd be an excellent signing, young, versatile and quick right sided midfielder. Alas under contract at Madrid for another 4 years I believe., anybody else?

Apparently Arsenal are ready to listen to offers for Gabriel Jesus this summer.

Apparently we’re okay with selling Yan Couto to Real Madrid. I wonder if they’d sell us one of their promising youngsters…

Pep would not get on with his daft candy floss hair. Talented no question about that but if we are prepared to let him go then thats it

More about who we’re selling to. Bayern, Madrid etc wouldn’t sell us a virus.

Yep, agreed but if we take the money and the player us not a fit for is, I'm happy with that. Jesus being a case in point

Palmer would be a better example imo - both young, but with Yan he’s played regularly this season and have good reviews.
Possibly need to give some of the kids that have had a good season a chance. Bobb will fuck off soon.

That's my worry for Bobb. He looks a player and deserves game time

I myself would have doubts about those two. But one thing I do know, there's people at the club paid a lot of money to do the scouting and recruitment work.
Some of them paid millions.
