18 pages of discussion I think it's time to move to Welcome.

If I did that the tin foil hat wearing, jinx believing merchants will lose their minds. They'll be at my door with placards, torches and pitch forks.

Is this signing likely to be announced tonight? Fabrizio Romano was suggesting it could be today......

You’ve just fucked yourself with the gods there, TV. They don’t do football in the summer (unless Corinth are fielding a side). They target Canadians for sport.

The £50M for Manzambi is almost the confirmation that Rogers is done. We would not have been able to make that commitment without an agreement being in place with Arsenal.

Looks that way. However, maybe we have an agreement with Palace on Guessand.

I think Manzambi will start on the left before eventually becoming a 10. A lot like how we first integrated Rogers. My theory is that Rogers stays this year, Manzambi develops then Rogers moves next summer so Manzambi is future planning for selling Rogers.

Agree - and Gomes is likely McGinn replacement

Surely Gomes is the Tielemans replacement (i know slightly different players but at least they both play centrally...)

Style wise he's very SJM.

Joao Gomes vs Youri Tielemans vs Amadou Onana (couldn't compare with McGinn because he's not classed as a midfielder on DataMB)



Seems closer to Onana than Tielemans - doesn't make as many key/progressive passes as Youri; but seems to carry it and win possession more than either of The Belgians.

EDIT: Thought I was in the Gomes Thread.
