Such a vile business model, stockpile these lads and loan them out for fees around Europe.

He’s getting nowhere near the first team anytime soon but I bet they said he would. This is money men making money

Cant see it - we dont play wingers. I wouldnt be surprised if we end up with conor gallagher, but not sure if he is actually any better than what we have. Pulisic wants out - I could get onboard with that
We're being linked with Callum Hudson-Odoi. Nor sure about this one. Seems an odd signing and is he even that good? What makes him better than Bertie?
Gallagher looks a good player to me. Hudson Odoi could be very good with decent run of games.I really don't want Rob HoldingFekir would be an interesting addition

Fekir would be an interesting addition
