Qwiss We do need a few more gambles in the back up slots though.

I'd be stoked if we found a "Saliba" style signing up front: an under 20 chance with "generational talent" in areas we're missing, who's also athletic and physically up to scratch. Now's a good time, while we've got decent but not fully convincing options. We'd just have to find the right profile for big money but not Højlund money.

    There goes the potential Eddie sale. Good signing for Bournemouth. He was a real handful when we played Porto.

      Agreed. Excellent striker and great signing for Bournemouth.

      We seem to have priced Nektiah out of a move. Shame.

        TambourineMan kroenke wants his money I hear.
        But this is simple maths. Nobody is paying £30m for Eddie and then committing another £25m to him on a 5 year deal. That’s rich.

          Segway fuck. the market for eddie is shrinking. isn't there any desperate promoted clubs we can flog him to?

            Segway He's a very good striker. Bournemouth really knows their business under Iraola. All very good signings that will bring them up another level instead of being relegation contenders

              Keep Eddie then, and let him play in Carling Cup and random FA cup games. Figure out whatever loophole you need to figure out to enable us pick up Merino and whoever else is wanted, and move on.

              I reckon another club will want him, I doubt we've had all our hopes pinned on Bournemouth.

              But if we end up with less than what Marseille allegedly talked about, we've fucked up.

              I don't think Bournemouth were ever in for him. It was just a case of journos seeing them sell a striker and knowing we'd one available. Looks to me like they had Evanilson all but done before they let Solanke go.

              no way is reiss on 120k a week. even if he got a sign on bonus we would have paid that up front and not add it into his weekly wage thus making him unsellable.

                Meatwad Reiss and Nketiah’s agent really grabbed us by the nut sack. Lesson learned is to renew early or sell. Their contracts are the only worrying contracts we have given the typical market for selling them

                  If they up their bid by a couple million, this'll get done.

                  Edit: just seen they're in for Gimenez too...hmm...

                  We should go for Gimenez , he's better than Nketiah. Would be a good switch
