I like the look of that mane of wolves.

Based on how many matches?

I think he's confusing wolves with lions.

Based on what i saw today. Has massove potential and very young

Looks like there's something to the Marmoush thing. Would be a fantastic signing imo.

from where have you heard please ?

Lots of unreliable speculation saying we are interested in him but I'll be amazed if we manage to rummage round the back of the PSR settee and find sixty million quid.

Yup. Just can’t see anyway that happens.

I’ll throw in a tenner if someone starts a crowdfund

If we can out manoeuvre the lovely rules and strengthen this month we really could do something incredible this season. 

That's Plan A. Plan B is to get you to start all the match threads.

Solid agree. Every single one. So you'd better let your family and colleagues know of your reduced availability, Rigadon.

On it.

Good man, I can see why you're so highly regarded in Latvia.

[TonyD]

Can’t see Citeh letting us have him. 

[Smirker]

Can’t see Citeh letting us have him.

They sold Sterling and Palmer to Chelsea, Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal off the top of my head.

They are getting Semenyo so it makes sense they would sell someone.

If we don't get him, it's not because they refuse to sell to a direct competitor.

[Matt C]

Maybe there’s an outside chance of getting him on loan/mandatory summer purchase. Assuming we can resolve the Elliott situation.

[andyh]

Someone said we need a Duran type player without his madness.
I think Marmoush is exactly that.

[Somniloquism]

Chelsea about to pay £130mil for Rogers apparently. Aren't they under the same UEFA sanctions as us on a positive expenditure?

[Smithy]

If Marmoush is a genuine possibility, then great, but he's on big wages (almost £300k a week, with 3.5 years on his contract), and they spent £60m on him just one year ago.  The chances of us signing him at all are slim, less so at a price we could afford.  Unless some sort of Rashford-style deal can be done to loan him with a view to buying in the summer if everyone agrees?

I just feel that given our financial constraints, we're not shopping at that level in January (unfortunately!)

[Somniloquism]

We need someone but isn't he just a more exotic Malen?
