Surprised Ordonez is still at Brugge. He was meant to be joining Marseille. We should get him either to provide competition to Konsa or replace him if we have to sell him (supposedly dragging his feet on signing a new deal and Liverpool meant to be interested).

I'd guess that seeing your international partner get £300k a week is going to turn your head a bit.

Yep, I think he sees that he could be part of England's first-choice defence this summer, and if we do well, his personal value will skyrocket.   Still a lot of football to play before then though...

Transfers are for other clubs.  That’s it.  Fuck off you massive massive ******. It is not fair.  It is not fair.  It is not.  Fair. 

But there ya go.

We need someone. Summer was a total bust and now injuries are piling up.

Don't be daft. The backroom staff at Rayo Vallecano will be rubbing their hands at the thought of our latest Samoan recruit making themselves comfortable in their physio's office. He'll probably bring some Toffos to share.

Someone on twitter has done a fairly agricultural but decently accurate run down of our last 10 transfers. It is genuinely scary reading. We desperately need 3-4 hits.

Can you share that please, for those of us who don’t want to venture into that cesspit ?

We need a repeat of last Jan and not the Summer Transfer window, which is looking an almighty cock up!

I think we have to take some risks with PSR now. If it means we have to make a Douglas Luiz style panic sale in June then fine, but we're in a position to have our best season for about 35 years, which will all fall to shit if we don't sign two or three players pretty fucking quickly.

Ooh Toffos. Them and a packet of Pacers, now you're talking.

Basically this is the jist:

Malen - Gone
Asensio - loan - didn’t buy
Rashford - loan - didn’t buy -
Sancho - poor
Guessand - poor (being kind)
Elliot - disaster - who? is he at Villa? Would surely have been a good option yesterday? Emery obviously not a fan
Lindelof - backup - best of the summer ones!
Bizot - backup
Alysson - 18, Brazilian - future - not seen yet
Madjo - future - not seen yet -

When you look at that 10 players, the fact only 1 is actually contributing this season is quite scary. Rashford did well but got injured and cost a lot of money for a short period. Overall we need 3-4 hits in the market that actually contribute to the side, sharpish.

Two. Bizot's contributed this season as much as Lindelof has.
