It would be a yes from me

Alan-Hutton-on-stilts as a concept or whoever this Anton bloke is?

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

The boat has sailed now but Alvarez from Man City is the kind of striker we need to cover Watkins.

I’ve no idea what kind of striker he is, I think different to Ollie in that he’s more of a target man but Taremi from Porto has always looked pretty handy.

Duran seems to be back in the good books with Emery lately. Getting plenty of minutes lately.

It may be a case of Emery trying to weigh up whether he can be relied upon to be backup for Watkins to a high enough level, or do we need to spend in that position in January.
I think Durán will come good, it's just a question of when, and if we need a somewhat temporary option in the meantime.

Backup for Watson? Like, Lestrade?

Oops. My brain keeps doing that. Usually I catch it but I've corrected it now.

Gallagher and Hwang would do me in January

I imagine that we could spend £100m far better than a couple of people to pad out the bench.

Ha fair, any excuse to bring up Sherlockiana.

Having failed in their attempts to lure Luiz to Arsenal the media outlets have now turned their attention to Ramsey. Apparently the £22m player is now their “top transfer priority”.  Are they really that f’in stupid? (The media that is, at no point have any Arsenal officials said anything about either player)

Based on a literal story from one of them shitty little blog sites like football insider.

They reckon he will replace Thomas Partey... 😂

£22 million for Ramsey? They've pulled that number out of their arse. I saw him rated at about 40mil a while back. He was on a list recently of highest value players yet to be capped at senior level for their countries.

In other news, Samuel Iling-Junior mentioned again today. I also saw us mentioned along with half the Premier League as keeping track of what's happening with that young Roony Bardghji at Copenhagen. They're apparently willing to cash in on him in January.
