What do folks think of Sarr from Palace as a winger?

Anyone that hates gay people can fuck off.

Whatever we do we need to do it early so Unai downer have to deal with the crap he faced at the beginning of this season.  Bit annoying there is a World Cup as that will inevitably delay developments

Yeah I think it’s going to be the usual World Cup window of things being very slow (for any club shopping in that window) to start with.

Selling clubs with top level players will want to see what kind of World Cup they have so as to maximise the price they fetch, and players themselves probably won’t want the distraction.

Just seen that Felix won Player of the Season in Saudi…

Another one that’s rejected is in the past is nico Williams. Still at bilbao and not made the predicted move to Barca. His stats not great for recent season though.

What chance we return to these players now our stock is high?

Think we can chuck Felix in with Connor Gallagher, your loss lads.

Williams is one year into a ten year, €320,000 per week contract with Bilbao.

We'll be spending more this summer than we did last, but I think those numbers are not what we're going to be talking about.

yeah that's a £150mil deal just to get him out of that contract... frightening numbers. Never happening.

How the hell do Bilbao afford that? The rest of the squad must be playing for a bag of chips and a pickled egg.

Big support, one of the best youth developments in the world so they quite often make a profit on players, regular European football including Champions League this season.

Looking at it, they're clearly well-run. Wages to turnover ratio of about 73%.

We simply have to get a top striker. If we get a 30 goals striker we are going to win the league.

But which one? There's so many of them about.

The one Arsenal won the league with, obviously.

Ha ha in amongst Smirker’s usual agenda I missed him citing the top striker scoring 30 goals in the league. Yeah ok, loads of those readily available to us.
