I know an ITK that knew but didn't go public.

The clamp down is real
Im glad for the clamp do2n in a way, we seem to get busniness done in a more smoother manner now. I believe we allow smokescreen media on purpose aswell to our main target, all u der the rouge of another player.

That's why this site is the best out there. All 3 of our transfers have been called on here way before anywhere else. JJ calling all 3 correct. Way to go guys!

Did people here really expect us to lump 30m on a player, just because we are in the CL?!

I just don't get it. We are doing great as a club. We are stable, and we have a transfer system to keep us stable. The amount of risk/reward ratio in a player like this is much more favorable than a high profile player. We won't be buying a Lacazette, Mkhitaryan, Pjanic until we have the new stadium for a few years and can afford the wages they will command.

Ask yourself what's better, us paying a top player out the ass and hoping we get the CL we need to afford them....

OR

Trusting in our scouting system and our manager in bringing in the right players for our system.


Only one of those options is sustainable for us. We are not Chelsea, United or City. If we sign a high profile player, we would literally be dependent upon making the CL. That is tough and not guaranteed. We need to scout well and bring in players before they are highly rated. This is the way it is going to be for some time. Be happy with the football we have been seeing and back the players whom we bring in.

I'm actually loving the way we are going about our business. I don't know about anyone else, but seeing us pick up talent and seeing it come good is far more enjoyable to me than seeing an established star come in.

Long may it continue.

Dier needed competetion/cover
We needed another striker
We needed something different going forward in attacking midfield to stretch defences. Looks like we have ticked them all off early. For once we have nothing to complaint about. All for approx 40 million and are the right side of 25. Been a very organised well planned transfer window.

I am not in disagreement with you but he said we made 3 Transfers so my question was who are they? I only know of two. Wanting 3 and having 3 are two different things.

Mate, surely he's obviously including this Nkoudou lad with the signings of Wanyama & Janssen?

This

Before anyone comes in hissyfitting, foaming at the mouth and beating old ladies to the ground with a massive erection.

I know things are slightly different in pommie land but I've never seen an old lady with a massive erection.

So I'll just take your word for it.

In a chat about central attacking midfielders Ali z on COYS is saying we are still in for one. Saying we've looked at Coric for example. It's just a general chat so probably not read only worthy.

Ok 2 completed and 3rd very close to competetion if you believe reports and ITK. Either way we are obviously working hard to get all deals done early
