We're supposedly 'linked' to Kessie as well now.
If we signed the likes of Kessie, Balde/Zaha etc would that be enough to have some physicality/power game?

looking like a sicario, sign me up.

If rumours are true and we could get him for 12M that would be a very good deal. Just a few days ago I was thinking that out of the current crop of young chilean players, Pulgar is arguably the only true bargain.

well we can't sign world class players, rarely ever did in the past. now does he have the potential to be CL class? that's the key.

We don't need another Sicario. We already have 1 too many.

Like the links to this lad
Really can't wait for us to sell our duds. Worried about the lack of news for outgoings. Fekir for 30m would be a bargain.
sport.es: Malcom is open to joining Arsenal on loan with an obligation to buy next season but Barca want to sell him permanently.
Sport is Tier 3 according to the Barca sub on reddit. I don't really like Malcom, I would not pay more then 30 for him...

Quality talent but he would be expensive I reckon and we have Hector.
Malcom, Fekir. Raul is the Sanogo of management. He brings the chaos factor
——————Auba Zaha————Fekir————Malcom
I’d take that.

Our transfer strategy does seem rather random.
Yes please to Fekir. Though I do wonder why no one is touching him even with that price tag.

Tore his ACL two years ago, then the medical fuckery by the scouse scum. If he hadn't had his injury he'd probably go for 80m - and that's a non-Parish estimation
Id take Fekir. Especially if it's around to 30m being quoted. 1 year left on his contract so probably one of the few top players we can afford right now.
He had a serious injury but that was back in 2015 and looks like he has been playing fairly regularly since then.
Links to Sarr resurfacing. I’d be all for that.
—————-Auba/Laca —Zaha———-Ozil————Sarr
Scary pace and power in the wide areas might allow us to get the most from Ozil - there’s a quality player in there somewhere
Are we trying to scare clubs into thinking our money is at risk of going elsewhere with all these links? Or is it mostly just agents using us as a fake alternative for their own deals elsewhere
was going to mention that. there's always bs rumours during silly season, but it feels like we're casting a much wider net this window. could be we're being extra careful to have contingency plans at the ready, or raul is dropping smoke-bombs left and right to try and outsmart the market as he puts it
Saw some articles that ffp rules are easing off on direct owner investment from july 1. some cockamamie stories popping up about raul and co asking silent stan for more dosh. I'd be worried about what this will allow the likes everton, leicester and wolves to do

Hey, so couple of things
This is specifically the Premier League's salary limitation rules that were put in place to protect teams from themselves so they wouldn't end up like 90s Serie A clubs with unsustainable wage bills. This is unlikely to affect most of our rivals. United have massive revenue that absorbs most salary increases; Pool and Spurs saw 25-35% increases in revenues in last 3 years; Chelsea can't register new players. The likes of Everton might be might able to increase salaries for new signings based on the income they are generating
However, they would not be able to do a capital call in summer 2019 from the owner unless they made a written request to do so before end 2018. Of that group, maybe Everton has done so given the aggressive statements Moshiri was making last year. That said, based on City and Chelsea's experience, it takes several years to build a challenger, so I'm not worried
