I wouldn’t want to lose those two, no way, they have been brilliant for us.

Luiz has a book value of fuck all in football finance terms, it'll be something like £3.6m.

Given he's worth more than Kamara I think we'd make a massive profit either way. Not that I expect either to be sold.

Agreed, no significant difference from an accounting point of view, not that I think they'll be sold.

Took my daughter to see the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical in Manchester last night. The theatre had a row M and row O, but no row N which I thought was borderline crazy.

That's a bit odd, no row M or row O would seem more likely

I can't see the point of bringing in three (so far) top-quality players only to get rid of another two.

Dink had 1 bad game for us under Emery. Other than that he always did what was needed with minimal fuss. I'd be in no rush to sell him.

I reckon he'd get a lot less stick if he didn't have that weird run where it looks like he's desperate for a shit.

If confirmed that's 3 sensational signings by us.

Yep we need Doug and Bouba.

They formed a strong partnership in central midfield last season.  Why would we even consider selling either?

He's posted a goodbye message to BL fans. Doesn't mention us mind, but I think its safe to assume now.

I'd say, one shrewd, one decent, one sensational.

If we get Doku and Vlahovic then it'd be three sensational signings.

Maybe we will 😏

There was a poster on here who said he reckoned wed get close to a 200m spend this summer. Imagine if he was right...

I wouldn't get your hopes up, I rarely am when it comes to transfers. :)

*It was around the time Alemany was supposed to be coming to B6, I was getting a bit giddy.
