I'd like us to sign Morgan Gibbs White from Forest. He's dynamic and scores goals. I'd have thought £45m would be enough to sign him?
It would take close to double that, which won't happen.

No chance on that I suspect, unless there’s a release clause.

M’Baye is the one I’d be excited by.

Not a chance at that price.  Great player but I imagine they will want closer to 70, probably more knowing we have 117m burning a hole in our pocket.

Forest will accept what we offer and be grateful that we want one of their semi final losers.

Gutted with this news, Rogers was essential to everything we did.

The key now is to replace him well, I'll add my name to the Nusa and Mbaye fan club.

I think MGW would cost us what we've just got from Chelsea, after Boro take their cut.

Manzambi is the replacement.

We're not in for Martinelli, are we? Someone on FB has posted a Romano-esque thing saying terms agreed etc. Are people sad enough to mock these things up?

It's mocked up nonsense. There are about a million Fabrizi0/F@brizio/Fabrizipoo type pretend accounts.

I know losing Telemans, Roger’s and Digne to meet SCR rules feels bitter, especially given we have just won a trophy, but unlike the last summer transfer window with Monchi’s last minute panic loans, this all feels calm and planned.  So far I am impressed with Olabi, but I am still hoping he has a couple more rabbits to pull out of the hat

A couple of top wide players to come in, a CM (likely Palinha), a left back (Estupian) and a right back to come in

I don’t “know” this for certain but I’d be shocked if Mbaye isn’t one of them. We’ve wanted him for a year

Think we will hear news soon on at least one - will have been worked on while the Rodgers to Chelsea was being done


If Bogarde or Barkley leave then another CM comes in

Let’s see what emi does after the WC finishes tonight. Club want to keep him - do have keeper plans if he forces a move

If I was guessing on another wide player it would be Summerville

So Manzambi, Gomes, Paulinha, Estupiñán, Mbye, Summerville and possibly Royal.  Thats 6 players and the promised major overhaul! And not forgetting Alysson, Cissé and Madjo who will all technically be new squad additions too

Struggling to think of a player that matches Rogers profile. In many ways he is quite a unique player. I'm sure others on here can come up with a list?
Guessand was supposed to be that man!

No to Summerville, all fart and not a great deal of shit. Let Roma have him.  Garnacho is unwanted for a reason, football comes second with him.  I'm sure we are working on some quality incoming. 
Mbaye or J Rowe for me.
