Seems to be quite a bit of chatter about Sara, Soule and Mbaye.

Need to sign Soule as an excuse to sing Erasure.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't even sing that on my own in the car. 

Have a little respect.

I do... sometimes.

We are edging toward Circus territory here.

Didn't Barcelona take Adama Traore on loan at one point?

If memory serves, he came through their youth system before joining us.

He did, also had a loan spell back there from Wolves a few years back.

How come Barca can spend £6 on Gordon but couldn’t afford Rashford? Does it mean they won’t be buying Rashford now?

To be fair, £6 is a bargain. We shoulda bid a tenner.

There goes a tenner, hey look there's a fiver.

It does us all good to re-read our post history now and then, but don't beat yourself up about it!  ;D

An absolute bargain? Barcelona target Jan Virgili’s release clause drops after Mallorca’s relegation

The winger is now available at a very attractive price.

Jan Virigili has been linked with a return to Barcelona throughout this season as the Catalans search for a new left winger for next season.

The former Barcelona player made 31 appearances for Mallorca this season in La Liga, scoring twice and grabbing four assists.

However, his future in once again in the spotlight after Mallorca’s relegation. According to Diario Sport, the team’s drop down the divisions means his release clause has reduced from €30m to just €12 million.

If you add in the fact that Barcelona also have 40% of a future sale and the right of first refusal, it means that Virgili could potentially be snapped up for just €7m.




Let's have a whip round and buy him

Ansu Fati didn't look like he could cope with the Premier League at Brighton (maybe he's improved in the last 2 years) and I have no idea why Rashford's top level career will end at 30.

To bring back a name that I've brought up for the last couple of windows:

Misfit in need of some Emery loving. Current club would happily take a massive haircut on him and cut their losses. Still young. All the pace in the world. Can play up front or on the wing. Wages wouldn't be silly. Even recent history of a great game against us.

Lois Openda.

Terrible time at Juventus, but I reckon if you hooked him up with his Belgian buddies, he'd be an excellent option in the squad.
