2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Small Rodent]

I hope we sign someone soon, so I don't have trawl through all the leftist word salad much longer and we can get back to discussing football.

“Leftist”? Wanting nurses and teachers to be paid more? I thought it would be a universal concern.

I think the artificial and spurious conflation with what footballers earn is the problem.

Thanks Risso, that is exactly what I mean.

I wasn't going to bite but teachers? I doubt many people are keen on giving in to their pay demands, certainly not if means their tax going up.

Ha ha! The Three Torysketeers unite!

All for me and all for me!!

The state school system is so infested with leftists that I pay for my kids to be privately educated. Labour are already talking about lumping more cost on those fees to pay for a service I chose not to use. They have a lot of holidays, don’t work particularly long hours, took a long holiday during Covid whilst I worked all the way through it. Not the slightest bit interested in paying them more.

Quite right! I mean how important to a country's future are [checks notes] children?

But I guess, as I'm sure you like to say, you get what you pay for.

Using the word infested shows you up for exactly what you are, pathetic.

Teachers worked through Covid.

Very important, they deserve better. They won’t get it until teachers spend more time teaching and less time being activists.

If only the left wing hadn't been in charge of the national curriculum for the last decade and a half WAIT HOLD THE FORT NEWS JUST IN

I think, my dear fellow, you'd benefit from getting of American Twitter or whatever on earth has given you these extraordinary views and looking around you somewhat. You might be surprised by what you see!

State school system a service you choose not to use, its not a bleeding car wash. Fair enough though  you can afford to pay privately, most can’t, but fuck all the rest hey, market forces and that. Infested, us lefties must be a disease.

I know this is a transfers thread, but...
Ashton, so sad and misguided. Thoughts and prayers mate.

Arsenal fans.

At least we’re not like that.

[Footy-Vill]

It's interesting that Villa agreed to sign Roma's Tammy Abraham before his injury, so there must be a move for a senior striker to help Watkins alongside Dhuran and Archer.

I think the Felix news is that he wouldn't join us at this moment and that despite our intention of wanting him, he's not prepared to come, so I would discount the further noise on this transfer.

The Italian rumours linking Milan players De Ketelaere, Origi, to Villa are less substantiated. Two strikers are just gossip, and it seemed like some sort of deal to have information released with Villa linked to them.
There hasn't been any official announcement on Oxlade-Chamberlain, but this transfer has been strongly reported.

I suggest you spend a week shadowing my daughter or son-in-law who are both secondary teachers. Would you be in for a shock pal.

Ferran Torres linked with us. Now that would be good 

I'm sure it's just AI-generated spin-the-wheel rumour bullshit, but honestly - I think that would be an incredibly good move.

The Ferran link doesn't seem to go away. Seems like he and Vlahović were sounded out a while back.
Ferran would be most likely and would be exciting move.
There is definitely a link and would fit Emery well

Please don't drag up stuff from 2 months back to comment on, particularly when there are so many more recent links to the same guy.
