I love Rashford but I don't want a pining-for-Barca Rashford.

Apparently his nose has got bigger out there too.

A few links today to Gabriel Sarra (ex Norwich playing for Galatasaray) - seem to remember being linked to him last window as well so maybe something in it.

Also links to Rowe from Bologna, again one we have been linked with previously and have scouted (also ex Norwich).

I quite like Barnes, and think he would be an upgrade on Sancho. The £40M that has been suggested feels a tad too much though.

Didn't Barnes have the chance to join us and opted to go to Newcastle?

Pining-for-Man-U Rashford was pretty good, so hopefully it would be fine.

I like him - he's a smooth operator.

With Garcia showing he isn't the answer, anyone think Kayode at Brentford. Seemed to have done decently and brings the long throw option in from more then just Digne.

Whenever I hear or see that name I keep thinking of Roadrunner.

Malen to Roma confirmed £21.6m (€25m) fee.

15 goals for them in 20 games in Serie A. Roma probably tjink they've won the lottery at thst price.

Surely we could have expected  a higher fee if he was for sale in an 'open market"?

We did ourselves up like kippers with that loan to buy deal.

Wasn't it more playing-to-impress-Barca?

In this weather everyone is looking for a bit of schade.
