Guimaires would be the one if I was buying off Newcastle. He’d cover all midfield areas.

He wouldn't get away with half the stuff he does at Newcastle here. Would be giving Fernandes a run for his money on red cards.

Good player but he's 27, not usually the profile we go for. 

[Stanley Leisure]

Joao Pedro at Brighton is more our tempo. Good player, him. 

Regardless of where we finish this season, next two windows are pretty huge. Still need a new midfielder and a centre back, as we did this summer, but we may also need two new full backs (definitely need a new LB) and a striker.

No, I hate all this real world sort of stuff. I can just see him in that ground, in that kit. Reckon he’d like it.

Henrik Larsson vibes

Barcelona's finances continue to be f***ed and they can't register Dani Olmo. We should go get him.

Has he not played a game this season so far?

If he wasn't injury prone. Makes Jota look reliable

He has, but his registration was only valid till the end of 2024

Sounds like he'll fit right in. We should try and take Gavi off them at the same time.

We should trigger his £865m release clause.

Injury prone,  not worth anything more than 700m imho

There's a deal to be done 7-800m I think.

I don't think it's our style to spend big on a full back under these owners/Edwards. I think the only full backs we've bought are Robertson and Tsimikas. And Tsimikas was 2nd choice to another cheap player. I think they fancy themselves to find a full back for the manager to develop for cheap enough. 

They've clearly been reading Hightown Phil's old posts on here.

Think Cunha could be very good for us 

[Cunny]

yet another game of watching Brighton and Pedro being deeply unimpressive

don't see what all the fuss is about

Think he has what it takes with better lads around him.

Have there ever been any credible links to Isak or is this just wishful thinking? 

The data lad in his book that we identified Haaland, Nunez and Isak as the three outstanding young forwards the summer we signed Nunez. Haaland was already boxed off, I think we went with Nunez over Isak because Klopp was pushing for him but the scouting and data lads obviously saw something there

But we’ve never made any move to sign him though?

Isak failed at Dortmund whilst young, then was 1 in 3 at Sociedad. And his last season was actually 1 in 4

 

Nunez had just scored 34 in 41. It wasn't unreasonable to choose him
