Its not in any way reassuring. And Maresca must be pissed off at this messing.


We can only hope(?), that we actually do have a plan for incomings. I still think we were banking on Rodders staying until summer as otherwise, we should have had our targets scouted and ready to go. I don't mind us being linked with all and sundry if we have our deals done but even I'm getting a bit frustrated with the lack of incoming news. That said, it's never easy taking other teams' top talent and you'd hope that was what we were doing.
Sunday could be fun with Kova rollng back the years in the middle
In other news, I see Cancelo has gone back to Farca.

The stories today just say that Palace have confirmed that we made an enquiry and were told he wasn't for Sale. That may well have been at the start of the summer. Someone from Palace was on Talk sport today and was asked about Wharton

AC Milan are now focused on signing a centre-back and Manchester City's Portugal defender Ruben Dias, 29, has emerged as a potential target. (Gazzetta dello Sport - in Italian)

It gets better by the day

I' wpuld guess it was this week, I mean Anderson was done weeks ago, during the world cup. If we wanted Wharton it would have been done as well.
I think they felt rodri would stay and see out his last year but that didn't happen and now their hand is forced.

Fuck me, spuds agree £75M deal with £10M in add-ons for Sav. I think my long standing hatred of these cunts is thawing.

Fuck me, we are going to have no one left at this rate. But a great price for a crap player.

Perhaps Maresca is thinking of using more players from the Academy ?

Watch him have a great game against City , as Spuds recently seem to do (their cup final).

Let’s hope he doesn’t have to shoot at a goal as part of his medical

I was happy that we signed him. I saw a lot of him in a good Girona side that got into the chumps league. Never looked the same player for us whether that was because of our possession obsessed game or just down to him not being able to up and adapt his game, it's a belting price at over double what we paid for him.

Yep the January sales are early this year, but 85 m for savio, someone wake me up, every cloud.

One more piece of positive news i heard last night, we cant concede to Bournemouth Sunday, because weve sold the goal posts.

Bad i know. Sorry.

Seems like Allan will be a done deal soon.

Remember Scott Sinclair? Worse.

We had too many players of middling standard. Good to get rid of a few for good money.

Right, I'm off now - the club took up my offer to drive him down to Tottenham

:D

You have to admire good old British wit.

Rosie Webster does not like this - although they are not together now.

Sell one Brazilian duffer for an exhorbitant £85M then immediately throw the lot at another Brazilian who is completely unproven.

Fucking madness

And looks like £60m for marmoosh. The pair of them for £135m, fuck me. Having said that I can see both of their only goals be a winner vs us this year
