    Given Kulu’s importance to the team, I think we cover in that position. Moura doesn’t stay wide and tends to get in Harry’s way. Richarlison is better coming off the left side or central. We can’t expect Kulu to play every game so hopefully we get someone in.

    I think he was trying to tell us he was in the Intensive Care Unit but he didn’t quite make it. Rest In Peace brother.

    Gary Jacob has been reliable for us. Gazette has a questionable track record.

    Seems the sensible thing is to agree on a 20m fee to purchase (no loan) with significant add ons based on appearances, ramping it up to an eventual 40-50m deal. That way, Roma get a commitment up front with the likelihood of getting the whole thing, and our risk is reduced. If we are that...

    Sounds similar to Deki’s loan. Can’t remember the exact details but we paid a high loan fee (believe it was 10m?) plus 35m (?) euros to trigger the permanent deal. Within that he had to play a certain percentage/number of matches or we get CL qualification to make a mandatory purchase. Which I...

    Personally I don’t like it when our fans leak team news in advance. There’s such little value in knowing it in advance and serves the opposition. I appreciate you could say that about transfer news but that’s less black and white then knowing someone has failed a covid test on the eve of the...

    POK has a good track record with team news. There seems a leak in our dressing room about injuries etc. and that is quite clearly shared among Gards, George Bannister and POK along with others. Not sure on their hit rate regarding transfer news. Not bashing, just genuinely think there are more...

    Jude Bellingham

    Jude Bellingham is on SSN right now doing one of those “most…(eg funny/ hardest trainers/skilful) in the dressing room” style interviews. Probably trying to promote himself to get a dream move to the mighty spurs tbh. Desperate, some might say wreckless, stuff from the lad.

    This thread is nearly at 100 pages and so far we’ve had largely the following on repeat: - His knees! —Yes but Conte rates him! -Yeah but 50m gets you Maddison! —Yes he fits better into Conte’s system! - Will someone consider the HG!! Have I missed anything? Can we consider anyone who is...

    I wasn’t impressed with him last night but then I wasn’t impressed with several of our own players. So difficult to judge any player based on that game. No idea how hot/humid it was but the shirts weighed more than the players did by the end of the game.

    Even if this isn’t it, it’s so bloody good Paratici should fly out to Rome and sign this guy just so this brilliant guess of a cryptic is a reality

    Getting Maddison would mean getting 3 of the best players at rival PL clubs (bissouma/Brighton and richy/Everton the others). Would be unprecedented for us. Proper big club behaviour to damage domestic rivals. Seems this one would be the hardest deal to do though.

    Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

    Watched quite a lot of Forest’s games and this lad is very talented. He’s very, very good in one on one situations defensively and in attack. Has so much pace and power, he defends a little like van Dijk. In the sense that you think “come on, put the after-burners on” but he doesn’t need to. He...
