Funnily enough, Diaby is just the kind of player the squad needs.

I'd love Johnny Danger (Durán, not Kodjia) back before Diabs.

Talk that we’ve put in an official bid for Ferran Torres and Barcelona are seriously considering it.

Not from one of the reputable sources, mind.

Isn’t that every window ever since Emery has been here? May as well throw in a bid for Joao Felix while we are at it.

Nicolas Jackson isn't pulling up any trees at Bayern. Some Brit called Harry is hogging the limelight.

To be fair, have we seen him play in a central position yet?

I’m convinced he’ll join in the summer.

If moving him to the centre gives him the power of ball control, dribbling and pace… I’m all for it.

He looks as bad in the penalty area as he does out wide.

Palmeiras rejects a 35M€ offer from Napoli for Allan. The player hag a significant inquiry from Newcastle and another from Aston Villa. He will stay in Brazil until after the World Cup. 100M€ release clause. https://as.com/futbol/internacional/palmeiras-no-a-35m-por-allan-f202601-n/

VancouverLion will be pleased if we sign him.

We can't sign a Brazilian called Allan FFS. Would it be too much for them to send us a Plato, an Erasmus or a Galo de Burro?

It's no wonder their national team's so shit at the moment - finished 5th in the 2 horse race of WC qualification in South America.

Come on, Brazilian parents - buck your ideas up when you're naming your children!
