Couldn't he have just agreed a settlement as part of the termination and now he is free to look around? I thought that's what happened in these situations. Don't know, though.

That's exactly what (looks to have) happened.

If we’re embracing the full ‘get the band back together’ vibe, how about a cheekie bid for Bert.

Take him over Guessand any day of the week.

Unprofessional, unsustainable use of drop shadow. 2/10. See me.

Yeah i think so. Would be suprised if anyone  else comes in. Only if elliot leaves can i see anyone else come in. I would have loved a right back as garcia is as reliable as toaster with no electricity

Hmmm… no Kamara replacement. The one position we really need.

The problem is we can’t get in more than 3 if they are to be added to the Europa squad. Or we wil have a Malen situation. We can get by with what we have without a direct replacement for Kamara and especially when the injured players return.

Won’t Dougie replace Kamara in the Euro list, or is in ineligible for some reason ?

Obviously we need to leave Mcginn and Youri on the list for the final.

Probably. So we can then change two more from the current squad, presumably Abraham and Bailey.
