A small update.

We are set to rival Barcelona for Williams who has a £55m release clause.  Now this is one we should start a bidding war on!
I seriously like the sound of this !!

You'll only be demanding we sell him next summer.

Jane and I winning euromillions
Joe Biden wins US presidential election
Coopers Injury talking sense

I think that your still in with a chance of winning the euro millions. Fingers crossed

If we sign Williams, we'll win the league.

Barcelona are a clown show at this point. Hansi Flick out by Christmas.

Let him have this one, it beats him calling for us to sign Jermaine Beckford.

Nico Williams.

Chris Bart-Williams is more likely.

No, that was when you got all confused and called him Darren Backford. Trolled yourself into a tizz

Nico Williams after the Euros would be the biggest signing in our history and some. Kids got the world at his feet, he ain't coming here, even with how much we have improved.

Absolutely-don’t think we’ll be paying 300k+ per week to anyone yet

I’m not overly concerned with any player leaving.

As long as the owners are interested and we have Unai - things will just get better.

Shows that Emery and co might know a thing or two about a player when they lined Williams up from the end of 2022 onwards.  That's when the links started and it seems we did hold talks last summer.

We won't get him now.

But interesting to see who else we might target.

Desire Doue sounds like a female porn star ... not an associate of Donald Trump by any chance?
