My general point is that Edouard wouldn't cost us nowhere near the £30m reported fee and would be the inferior player to what we could possibly obtain.

We were paying £24m for a striker almost a decade ago. In today's current market £20-30m for a striker is cheap.

Would he not? Pretty much every paper and site online is reporting between £30-40m. I'll bow to your greater knowledge. As to quality, that's purely a matter of opinion which you're entitled to.

How much would this chap from the Austrian league cost us then?

Martinez rumours true

Isn't that somewhat of an oxymoron?

That it is true there are rumours or that the content of the rumours are true?

Very true. The rumours we are in for him are not rumours but true statements. Up to Arsenal to ok the sale and get a replacement. A number of clubs interested in him

I wouldn’t give up on Samatta yet, anymore than I would Wesley. Players need, and deserve, some time to settle. In Samatta’s case parachuting into a club in free fall, in a new country, and then facing an unprecedented period of lockdown, it’s hardly surprising he struggled.

Exactly why Trez will double his figures in goals and assists next year
Thinking 12-14 goals
And 4-6 Assists ...

I'd be a teensy bit surprised if that happens.

Don't know on those 2 though feeling be strong improvement in our attacking players.
Exactly why backing Trez will double his figures in goals and assists next year
Thinking 12-14 goals
And 4-6 Assists ...he's now a lot more settled and has high potential to be a goal and attack menace

Also hope for:
Same with El Ghazi 8+ goals 10+ assists

McGinn to tripple his stats 9 goals 9 assist

Expecting all to improve given game time and confidence
And double for Jack can hit 15+ goals and 15+ assists

Then Shakespeare and Smith have hit gold.
I'll have a pint of whatever you've had :D

I hope you're right.

So do I. Can't see it in a million years. Then again, I was convinced we were down with 4 games to go and being 7 points behind so what do I know?

I think 12-14 might be a stretch but he does have a few goals  in him.

I don't see the point in predicting the number of goals scored by individuals because it doesn't really matter much.

If we play the same 433 we did after the lockdown then 10-15 from the defence, similar from the midfield and 20-30 from the striker/wingers gets us to the 50-60 goals that normally sees you safely into midtable.

Newcastle signnig Rob Holding on season long loan.

I'd be on to them about Fabian Schar, experienced ball playing CB. Think he has 1 year left on his deal up there and they only signed him for about 3m.

If Jack, Trezeguet and Watkins score a combined 40 goals then I'll have Barry Fry's face tattooed on my arse.

Leeds sign a German international.

After all this is a transfer thread about bringing in specific players as well as the specific positions.


This thread is 99%+ made-up nonsense as it is year after year.

On paper that looks a great bit of business.

99.99%+ would have been more accurate.
