Notes for the day, as we draw to a close:
1. WE SIGNED A PLAYER ie. we moved early in the transfer market. IMO 23rd August in particular, the date Fryers went to Liege. THE FIX WAS IN
2. This Anus bloke exists purely for the sake of puns, one hopes we're aiming a little higher now, I mean, who the fuck is he? He's like a CM/FM player with one good stat [FINISHING 20, PACE 1, DECISIONS 1 etc] that you take a chance on cos he's cheap, you blew all your money on a big contract for Taribo West & he has one EU parent or something.
3. Holtby's probably coming, not only because of the WORLD CLASS ITK from Oldyid, but when all the dogs are barking in the same direction, stuff tends to happen. Reminiscent of both the Vertonghen and Sigurdsson transfers. Think we'd be unlucky for it not to come off.
4. Last year Modric, VDV, Pav, Corluka, Krancjar, Bassong, Pienaar all started the season. All variously first teamers, all fucked off eventually and wanted to go. Personally, I think the list of players that will want to go this summer, and even this window, deadwood aside [and *grits teeth* Bale] will be small. This is good. Happy players, motivated players, players pleased that their manager hasn't just escaped jail time & isn't touting for other work. Lots of young players growing and improving together. Even Parker and Dawson seem integrated for the time being.
5. Sneijder? Villa? Carlos Kickaballs? Aging Worldie? NOT COMING. AIN'T PART OF THE PLAN
6. Moutinho? I'm on the fence as to whether this is gonna happen ever, maybe so is he. Maybe Levy isn't anywhere near the fence, maybe Villas Boas is trying to dismantle the fence? I think the simple pull of being in the Champions League, having worked to get there with his teammates, with a not too tough draw, may well be a strong enough PROFESSIONAL pull to keep him in Portugal, at least for now. Either that or it's a good enough excuse. Why's he never left Portugal before? Most good players have found their way to a bigger league by now. Maybe he likes his Mom's home cooking. Hmmm.
7. Today's been a lot of fun too.

I keep seeing more paper talk with us and Moussa Sissoko. Personally, I like it a lot. Only 23, versatile enough to provide cover as a CM in the Dembele role or as a DM for Sandro. No transfer fee and he’s already valued at around 9m by most estimations I’ve read. I love the idea of having youth in our midfield that is also versatile enough to provide cover across multiple positions.
Realistically, between Holtby you have cover for in the hole or next to Dembele in a midfield 3 in front of Sandro. Sissoko could be cover for the driving box-to-box midfielder of Dembele or Sandro as a DM. Both would present huge financial gains for the club as with Holtby his sign-on fee is being rumored at 500k and most already value him from 10-12m.
Add in to that Fryers and we could essentially lock up three players in Holtby (22), Sissoko (23) and Fryers (20) for a total of ~3,500,000. That’s insane business.

This may be the answer to the question as 14.8million and getting some off the wage bill, is good business but that said Inter have a huge wage bill and Gomes isnt going to help them cut it especially since they arent in the CopaBut what about Gomes?
