442 have repeated the Ferran Torres links this evening. He's the sort of player I could understand us clearing the deck for, and would be excellent in an Emery team I think.

Like last season, i think we are working on something that will make everyone think that we are going for it.

High wages and high fee, so can’t see it. Is he actually good? Genuine question - I know he’s been at big clubs, but he’s been pretty bit part hasn’t he?

Ferran Torres is he better than Malen?

Who is in Lyon ?

Real Madrid's young Brazilian striker Endrick. He turned us down in favour of Lyon. We've probably stopped there to ring his door bell whilst setting fire to a brown paper bag.

No one. It's just picking up some fresh andouillettes for the BMH canteen.

Just seen the name Souza mentioned….ain’t we sign a left back by that name from arsenal…..what happened to him??

On loan at Bristol Rovers. One of x20-something  players we’ve got out on loan.

Thanks!

Guardiola said he was the best finisher at Man City.

Me too. If the reports are true it's a £52m take it or leave it offer. He can play down the middle or out wide, hard working..oh and he's clinical, Barca's top scorer this season, they need the money but can they win La Liga without him? I guess we'll soon find out.

Aren't they paying him like €250k a week? That's a hell of an outlay, even if we have the 52m kicking about somewhere.

Checked out Wikipedia on Lyon, not many players I have heard of to be honest

Tolisso is decent

However, I like the sound of the Spanish Sean Beans lad (if you know what I mean 😁)
