We genuinely have the most clueless fan base on planet earth. Sigurdsson was an excellent footballer. 156 appearances, 31 goals, 25 assists all achieved in some pretty ropey teams. If you think he was “crap” then that says everything about your...

If City bought Mbappe this Summer would you be going "oooo, that's a lot of money, he's unproven"?

Especially if we still intend to sign Grealish as reports continue to infer. I recall a figure of £150m available funds being widely mooted. If true we still a room to manoeuvre. ( I stress ‘if true ‘ )

I wonder what type of money is still available for a RB if / when we get Dibling done. Barry (27m), KDH (25m+), Aznou (8m), Travers (4m). That will be 100+m if we get Dibling done.

I do think Fofana is slightly further along his development, and maybe slightly less of a risk , fine margins though . Kubo would have been the best option in terms of perceived risk . Unfortunately for Dibling the price tag and the fact he has...

I'm talking one who is primarily more defensive to allow Dibling to just concentrate on getting us goals & assists and not track back constantly. O'Brien does overlap a lot though; think you're misremembering there.

Dewsbury-Hall is a lot better than a standard run around a lot midfielder.

Maybe the intention is to give Jake O'Brien a season as a starter in the Premier league at right back then move him inside next year?

….or he could be an expensive flop that we’re stuck with. The player has to be a success for his stock to rise but that’s the risk you take.

We seem to have linked to a serious of uninspiring right backs during this window . Tete is probably the only one I would describe as decent . Is there a worldwide shortage in this position, or are we just looking for back up rb as opposed to a...

Yeah I was surprised to read this . I would have preferred McAtee. But , as you say , perhaps the player preferred to go elsewhere ( I think Dortmund has been mentioned as a possible destination?)

Only thing that is weird to me is if we are willing to pay 40 plus for Dibling, why not pivot and meet Citeh's asking price for McAtee? Hes definately the better playet right now...can only think hes planning on being elsewhere..

Neutral about an average player that Evertonians seem to think was a Leicester 'star'. Its just weird. So if Alcaraz is on the bench, KDH would be where? Left at home? Were signing a player worse than Alcaraz & Gana for an overpriced fee who...

Cleverley 2.0?

If we can get Dewsbury -Hall and another decent central midfielder I'd be more confident in our ability to stay away from the bottom 3. I'd rather have had McAtee because he can unlock defences whereas KDH iis your standard run around a lot...
